Chicago Street Pub

Chicago Street Pub has been the downtown Joliet bar for craft beer and live original music for years, and the owners, Mike and Kathy Trizna, still run the place at 75 N. Chicago St. There are 21 taps, plus a full bar and wine list, and the food is pub fare: soups, salads, sandwiches, traditional Irish dishes and weekday lunch specials. The pub bills itself as Joliet’s premiere venue for live original music and keeps a Monday night Irish session going. The Rialto Square Theatre and the Metra station are each a short walk away.
