Jameson's Pub

Women's bathroom is disgusting. The chair has been broken for about a year. Steak is a bit bland, and the Jamaican jerk chicken is too saucy (they should just use a dry rub instead).

Went on a Tuesday night. $2 drink well drinks and beer bottles. I was pleased.

Ah, Jameson's.  We live within about half a mile of this bar, so we've gone a few times when friends are in town or someone wants to go to a bar.  As Joliet bars go, I'd give most of them one star, so the two stars is actually a complement.  The population is mostly single early twenty-somethings who want to rub up on another single person and get wasted.  Not a depressing bar full of aging alcoholics, so that's a plus around here!

The food is OK...better than most bars around here!  The music is LOUD.  Like, nightclub loud, not bar loud.  Forget having a conversation if you're there after about 8pm.  The waitresses are mostly interested in helping men who will tip profusely because of skimpy clothes.  A coed group?  You might get refills.  You might not.  

Here's what confuses me.  Like I said, I live half a mile from there.  We don't generally hear the music, but every once in awhile on like a Wednesday or Thursday night, we'll hear it loud and clear, every word, through closed windows.  What's up with that, Jameson's?  If it were the weekend, I'd accept that it's all part of living near a bar, but why in the middle of the week, and no other time?  

Anywho, I also want to thank Jameson's for reminding me periodically that I am much too old for the bar scene, and glad I didn't live my college years in Joliet.
