Not many bars on the South Side have the brew selection that Smokin' Joe's does, and those that do aren't nearly as affordable. It's no surprise, then, that the main draw is the beer selection, both drafts and bottles. Other amenities include good wings, pool tables, and darts. Daily specials, listed on a blackboard, keep crowds coming throughout the week. Weekend nights at Smokin' Joes usually attract a younger set, but during the day, there's typically an eclectic group bellying up to the bar.
