Joliet Bakery Deli & Liquors

Joliet bakery deli and liqours is a very unique one of a kind place in joliet. During the day there is a steady flow of regular customers getting donuts and baked goods and bu night time it's a place where the musical youth crowd gather for live bands. The owner is a polish gentleman who makes amazing food. Half of his store is the bar/bakery and the other half is a small european grocery section. During the covid crisis he was making homemade carry out pierogies and sausage. Hands down a good price for some homemade food. He has a shop that gives Joliet a sense of community. CHEERS Try the pierogies

Stan the owner is a nice man. I began to patron both the bakery/deli during the day and the bar at night almost 20 years ago. The younger scene began there on what I think originally was Thursday nights and 20 somethings began branding it the "drunken donut" and soon after Stan, a somewhat older charismatic polish deli owner, made friends with the music scenesters especially the younger ones that desperately needed a local venue to believe in them. An old friend and former band member Eddie was a big part of this initial and continued bond. À unique gem, not corrupted. The 2010s and 2020s Fireside Bowl of Joliet but even more communal.

Very nice place I never noticed before. They have small bands playing her in an intimate setting. Beer is ice cold and the setting has a cool vibe to it. Very retro, barkeep is not friendly but if he was I think it would ruin the image. Go here for a cold brew and hot local music

Saw a show here on a Saturday night and WOW WHAT A PLACE!!! Fun and friendly staff, and good service. I don’t know if they put out food for every show. The one we were at had the most wonderful sausages and apple fritters. I wish they were in my town, because I’d live there I think.

One of the best bars in the area with a fantastic owner. Great live music by local bands all the time, and great stand-up comedians trying to cut their teeth on the crowds. Some are hit or miss, but it's always a good time, and the crowd is usually pretty chill.
