Joes is a solid college town bar. The outside area is really nice and when it's nice out I'm a big fan of hanging out either upstairs or downstairs outdoors. Drinks are good and the bartenders are cool. What is unique about Joes is that they actually have really good burgers and really really good fries. They have all kind of specialty burgers like ones with egg put on it and others. I wouldn't pay full price but on Tuesday Thursday and Saturday they have half price burgers and that's when it's a really good time to go. Joes is a very affordable place whether you are drinking or eating and it has a really fun atmosphere especially when it is nice out and everyone is hanging outside. Overall, Joe's is a U of I staple and a really good place to drink and/or eat. Big fan of Joes and I will continue to go back there!
