Joy District

I'm at Joy 12/4/2022 1:05 am CST, i've been constantly harassed by the security guard on the stairs from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor multiple times. THE...

All I’m saying is $67 for three SMALL drinks is ridiculous, as someone who really enjoys Chicago nightlife and understands it can be pricy. You can find stronger, larger beverages for half that cost at other clubs without much looking. The place is cute aesthetically, but I had more fun (and space to dance) elsewhere. The music selection was good and the DJ was definitely into it, but the strange layout of the place made it hard for my group to find a decent spot to chill and dance. Overall, a super “eh” experience.

Bar was fun and awesome, go to it for a good time! Not for people looking to chill though. It's definitely a parry atmosphere. For sure.

Not worth the hassle. I purchased one drink and I was charge a 4% service fee which I didn’t have a problem with until the bartender added an additional 20% service fee. When I asked the manager about it he said it’s a mandatory 20% service charge and it’s listed on their website, but that was a lie. Don’t waste your time, go somewhere else!!

Immediately after we walked in, a girl claiming she worked there came over to us and offered us free bottle service. As soon as we walked over to where she was, she told a guy (this guy was in and out of the “employees only” all night) “which one do you want”. We were very creeped out and luckily exited the area right away. We went downstairs and had a decent night. However after that, and reading the reviews, I will NEVER go back. And I don’t recommend any young female go there.

My friends and I paid for a booth to celebrate my friends bachelorette weekend. We arrived at 1030 PM and the club was mostly empty. They sat us in a tiny booth on the dance floor and promised that they would move us once more people showed up. The space was not big enough for our group of 9, but we tried to make it work knowing we would be moved. Unfortunately, we were never moved. There was security on the floor but they never stopped the many strangers who came into our space and poured drinks for themselves. We had to spend our time asking people to leave. This was disappointing to have to do. I definitely felt that our group was neglected and I’m not quite sure what the point of paying for the booth on the floor is. You are basically on the dance floor with everyone else, but you are paying immensely more. They should get rid of these “booths.” I personally would ask for my money back and just pay the price to enter the club. The music is hip-hop & rap. However, the DJ does not spin their own music live or take requests. It is a prerecorded track. The venue is cute, but small. Also note that the bill already included gratuity as a SOC charge. Not everyone would know this, the person in our group did not, so tipped extra. Overall, I would not pick this location for a celebration.

I have been trying to contact someone for the past month now to make a rooftop reservation for my 40th birthday. No one answers the phone and when they do, they’re rude and tell you to send an email which I did. I’ve followed up 3 times now via email and no response. One thing I will not do is beg a business to take my money. I will no longer support this establishment!

Super expensive drinks; an automatic 18% surcharge that they don't tell you about so you don't realize and double tip; the rooftop is smaller than you think; and they have silly rules like no open toe shoes for absolutely no reason cause we all know they're not that classy. The staff is nice though.

I was exhausted after 90 mins of driving in traffic, but then when we came over saw their valet service and was like that's perfect and then we were greeted...

Great service, good wine and amazing food! The rooftop is great for medium events (50-100) especially after the sun goes down! Can’t wait to go again!
