i wonder if those who post those bad comments been there since its 2010 and they did alot of upkeep. as for the comment about meeting guys if you didnt try so hard you might meet someone who will blow your mind. weve been going since 94 and we have had issues but though the years freddy and the boys did alot of changes. as for the dj well burt is burt.....

A GREAT, FRIENDLY suburban gay bar! The staff is beyond friendly, the music is great and current and the new renovations REALLY perked up the place!

On occasion there are some really good nights. Usually it is a very lame crowd. Pretty much if you are not one of the group then forget about trying to meet guys. The main level of the bar is really nice since it has been redone and updated. The upstairs is a different story. Very outdated and in DESPERATE need of ventilation. Also the Dj is not the greatest. Want to request a song to be played, forget it. Also one thing is the drinks are usually alittle cheaper upstairs than on the main floor. Other than that pretty much all the staff is very friendly. So for the south burbs it is really the only place to go if you don't want to drive into the city.

This is a small (does size REALLY matter?) but sincere place that serves an area (Joliet) which is otherwise devoid of "alternative nightspots". A couple of blocks from the casino, there is only on-street parking available. Fred, the owner has always been quite hospitable. The bad news is that the upstairs dancefloor really needs better ventilation and the bathrooms could use a little work as well. Other than that, not a bad little neighborhood joint.

Surprised to see good reviews. Couple of the staff are nice and some cool people, but the bar needs serious work, is rarely clean and the cover is high. Need us a little better attention out here. Hope someone posts to let us know if there are changes soon.

A great alternative for those of us in the 'burbs. The owners really try to keep up with the "city" bars... offering fun theme nights and excellent DJs.
