Saw my first show this past weekend at The Forge in Joliet and was pleasantly surprised! It was a sold out show Mammoth and Nita Strauss but the sight lines were good. Had a great time!
We always see our favorite band Blacktop Mojo every time they come to town. The staff at the Forge are super friendly and accommodating since I am in a wheelchair. Great small venue so every fan gets up close and personal with the show
It's a small venue. Only issue is that on the side the speakers are in the way. Other than that it's pretty good. They serve solid food. Drinks are great. Bar upstairs and downstairs
I’ve been to this venue a few times. There is a parking garage that’s nearby. It used to be free but the last time they charged a small fee. The venue itself is not as big as the Chicago ones, however I prefer this venue. You can get pretty close to the stage. It’s small enough where you can get a decent view from any spot in the room. The sound quality is good. Staff was very pleasant. They do have some restaurants that are walking distance.
Love the bands! We go to the forge about 3 or 4 times a year. ON THAT NOTE. 3 stars because their security Is slacking. If you pay the extra money to sit up stairs you shouldn't have to worry about free loaders trying to steal your spot the very minute you get up or stand right by you.. The forge needs to block the upstairs off for the customers who pay extra for the better seats. Extremely aggravating. Also beer is 16oz can and they charge 11$ per beer. Like your at the football game or something. The smoking section could be bigger for sure if your a smoker. Other than that it's decent.
It was just okay! My friend and I decided to go just to have a night out. The cost was $18 for general admission. The show is not quite what we were expecting. We thought there would be guys dancing and sort of stripping which did happen but it was mostly women paying to get on stage individual lap dance time with the men. Although, this was fun to watch it got overwhelming after the first group of women. The whole pretend to be doctor skit was a negative for us. Overall, a money making performance even for those who paid for an upgrade in a ticket. The water bottle at the bar was $4 and not sure the cost of drinks we did not drink. Overall, the guys seemed into it and it was a good time. I think we probably would not go back but again a fun time for a birthday, bachelorette party or just a girl's night out. Tip get there early the line was very long when we arrived and 40 mins early.
Security at the Mammoth WVH concert was right on top of things at this sold-out show! People were sitting in the VIP seating area, leaving those who paid a good price, with no seats. Security cleared everyone out quickly and respectfully. Great show and even better security! We had a blast!
Not to bad of a venue. It's a mostly standing venue with a 2nd level balcony. Main area is large and open. Stage is a bit small so artists really have to plan out what to use there so it may not be an amazing backdrop to the artist and their set If you are at the ba REMEMBER THIS you need to get the bartenders attention they are busy with many other patrons as well. It's a tad pricey for drinks alcoholic and non-alcoholic. As with any venue they do sometimes run behind opening doors or show starting on time due to things not in the venues control but due to the artist and tech setting up and making sure all equipment is functioning for the show.
Really neat music venue, there is more space than I expected actually. The bar is pretty accessible even when packed. My only complaint was the bathrooms. I basically had to maneuver around the toilet cause the doors are so squished against them. There isn't much room. It does make getting in and out fast a priority though we had some food and it was really good, not bad priced. The acoustics were awesome and the place really rocks with the music. There is a parking garage a block up that isn't awfully priced. Otherwise the parking is a little rough. Overall this was a really neat venue. One of the better small ones I've been too!
I LOVE The Forge!!! I've seen many bands here, ALWAYS a great time!!!!!
