Much larger than the original, Joe's has recently added a rooftop bar that is nothing short of fantastic. The rooftop features a long table with gas fire in the middle, looked like it would seat about 20 people. Replete with large HD TV's as well as a bar and restrooms, it is like a bar unto itself that will be busy 8-9 months out of the year. Thoroughly enjoyed our Friday night post Homecoming parade visit to this iconic bar!
Had a blast at Joe's Place last night bartenders and all the customers were extremely friendly had a great time there
Joe's Place was the Sigma Chi watering hole back in the mid 60's when I was a student there. Much bigger now and not the same atmosphere but still fun, especially after the game. Joe's Place and The Airliner are the only two bars left from that time period.
Joe's is the best. Bartenders are great! I love the new option of food! Also, the ptjer improvements aren't ruining the integrity of the original. We love it!@
