Club Hawthorne Joliet,

2200 W Jefferson St, Joliet, IL 60435, United States

"Friendly mutual clerk and bartender. More than enough TV's to watch several tracks at once. Hotdog, chips and a PBR pint totaled $9.50. Excellent hotdog. Roomy bar area and laid back crowd."

"Was nothing Spectacular just like a Bar& a few Screens showing 4 or 5 Different races at same time female teller was nice and Courteous a Clean Washroom stayed only an Hour made a few Bets and was out parking was okay also"

"I prefer Bookie McGees but this was my only option to put a bet in for the derby this year. They had ONE booth inside to take bets and I was approached as soon as I walked in by a man asking if I had reservations. All I wanted to do was place my bet, and they had no drive through as offered by the closed down OTB I was used to attending. Parking was a nightmare, next door in a dilapidated lot full of holes and mud, I had to park in the grass. Hopefully this is all temporary as I do realize this is newly opened. The inside from the view I had did not seem welcoming and the only friendly face was the man at the betting booth that I placed my picks with. I will attend on a later occasion to see if this was a one off, due to it being a new establishment."

"I liked it, nice clean facility. Nice big bar area, the grill was clean and the lady cook was very nice, i asked for my amburger in a special way and she accommodated me. My oakbrook OTB is my favorite, been going there for years, but nice to try someplace different. Hawthorne club is a great get away to relax and have fun."

"Great place. Plenty of TVs and tons of races both domestic and international. Staff is friendly and quick. Excellent bar type food at a low cost including daily beer and food specials. Tellers are knowledgable + they have machines if you'd rather bet that way. I highly recommend this place whether you're betting or not. Update: They added 6 slot machines a few months ago and there are always at least 2-3 machines open."
