Joe's Bar — Restaurant in Las Vegas

After living 18 years in Vegas I can finally say I've found my favorite bar!! This bar has everything from vibes, to great drinks, great food, and outstanding service. We walked in close to 11 and the bar was already packed. We were immediately greeted by the owner Joe, who also showed us to our table. I honestly thought the place had just opened because it looked brand new outside and super clean on the inside.

The place is huge with lots of TVs, lots of seating, a pool table, and lots of Chicago decor. Cysteine immediately took our drink orders and gave us menus to look over. She was very sweet and energetic. We ordered the Michael Jordan Italian beef and combo platter. The beef came with hot giardinera peppers and it was juicy, authentic, and a taste of home (I'm from the Chi). Cysteine continued to check in on us and then shortly after Lauren took over. She is sweet as pie and also continued to check on us and quick with refilling our orders. BTW, she makes a killer michelada!!!

The entire vibe was an amazing experience. At one point, Joe came over to introduce himself and engaged in conversation with us. I learned that he previously owned one of the restaurants I used to frequent but sadly closed. He brought the good vibes to Joe's bar and he and his entire staff made us feel very welcomed. Dont pay any mind to the one negative review, as I personally witnessed every single employee treat every customer, regardless of race and gender, with the upmost respect and hospitality. Every single employee was hustling and making sure everyone was taken care of, all while smiling in the process. You can definitely tell that Joe treats his employees like family and cares for them very much. In fact, during our conversation he made sure to say that none of it was possible without his amazing staff.

Thank you Joe and staff for us feel welcome and for having such an awesome bar that we now plan to be regulars of. My only complaint is not finding this place sooner :) if Yelp had an option to rate your favorite bar of all time it would...

I was wanting to get a late night dinner date after meeting with my amazing mentors in life and decided to stop by here with my boyfriend on the way home. We got the usual “who’s that” look when we got in and noticed there were a decent amount of people at the bar. That’s a good sign! It means this is DEFINITELY a place to be :) We found a corner that we could sit at and ended up having some drinks (because you can drink free if you play continuously!!!!) and some food because I was also hungry. The food was great! The drinks were amazing! They didn’t have Blue Label :( so they don’t have those types of spirits, but that’s okay! My bartender (ughhhh I forgot her naaaaaame) was super friendly and nice. I told her how I wanted my drinks and she made them absolutely scrumptious! We kind of kept to ourselves for a bit but after a few drinks, we ended up making some awesome friends!! Rosilind, John, and Abby, I’m talking about you all!! I probably had a little bit too much by then because when I got my third drink, my boyfriend told me the next morning that he didn’t taste any alcohol in it. And it was a good thing, because I still had a great time, I enjoyed my night, and I didn’t have a massive hangover the next morning. In other words, my bartender (a nice gentleman who looked like the bar was too small for him cuz he’s so buff 🤣) was looking out for my well-being. And honestly, my boyfriend has a higher tolerance than I do, so he’d need a stronger drink to taste it anyway 😂😂 Do I need to mention that I also won some money! I was playing continuously, like 5 cent 18 bets at a time, but I got some payouts! I was like woooooooo! Lol. If you need a drink and are in the area and want to have a good time with or without some people, go to Joe’s. They’ve got...

We found Joe's bar while searching for a place to watch the Bears game. If you're visiting during football season and are a true Bears fan, GO HERE! Now, they do let "others" in, but do know you'll be outnumbered by a ton of friendly BEARS FANS. Keep in mind the time difference if you're from out of town. We're from the East Coast and luckily realized the time change early enough. We made it in time to grab the last couple of seats at the pool table, which was converted to a table top. Man, was it worth it! We had an amazing time! Food and drinks were great and very reasonably priced. And the waitreses deserve Gold Stars 🌟. They were handling their business serving all those people and didn't miss a beat! And the Bears won! Note, the money spent per person included 8 shots, 4 long islands, and the...
