Big Joe's is a total neighborhood bar. It's a place most people wouldn't know is here unless they are looking for it. Only catching a glance of it going...
Neighborhood bar with big Friday fun - turtle racing. It is great fun plus an opportunity to drink...the more you drink the more tickets you get to have a chance to participate in the race. Prices are totally reasonable, the crowd is friendly and the music between races is whatever you pick on the juckbox.
Great spot. The bartender/owner is really nice and came up with a really fun concept with the whole turtle racing (don't worry... they are his pet turtles and they are treated very well)
Nice but wanted to watch basketball and they were only playing hockey
Had an amazing time being a first time Turtle Jockey. This turtle racing bar brings all the hype. The host brought all the energy to get the bar ready for each of the 5 races during the night. Each drink gets you tickets which get put in a draw to be a turtle jockey for a race where you can win a prize or a free drink. It's way more fun than it sounds. Note that this place is cash only.
