Club Hawthorne JolietClub Hawthorne Joliet4.2★★★★☆ Based on 106 reviews fromM HewlettM Hewlett ★★★★★ Pretty good place to bet the horses. Need more help though. Bartender was doing everything.Darren BurtonDarren Burton ★★★★★ It was very nice and clean and the staff were extremely courteous,I recommend itLisa BendingLisa Bending ★★★★★ We come here once a year for the Kentucky Derby. On this day, which I believe to be one of the busiest days of the year, the place was completely crowded. If you didn't get there early you will NOT get a seat. You won't even be able to find a place to stand right before the race. Cool thing is they do a drive thru for betting so you don't have to go indoors and deal with the crowds if you don't wish too. People taking the bets we're very nice. The bartending was fairly quick as well granted all the people that were there.js_loader
