The Forge - Joliet (IL)

5 /5 Stephen Kettlestrings: Very intimate venue where typically the band members come out after their sets for photos and autographs. The bar is easy to get drinks and very reasonably priced. Parking is free either on the street or is the near by parking garage.

3 /5 Lissy Paz: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We attended the Ivy Queen concert and overall the experience was good, though there are a few areas that could be improved. The venue is well-suited for small concerts, offering a great atmosphere and a space that allows fans to enjoy the artist up close. However, the event could have used better time management: it was scheduled for 9:00 p.m., but the show didn’t start until midnight. That being said, Ivy Queen’s energy on stage and her connection with the audience made the wait worthwhile. With better logistics and punctuality, events like this could be an even more complete and highly recommended experience.

5 /5 Frank Sajdera: Went and seen union underground and spineshank last night. Never been to the forge but always wanted to go because I seen a lot of good bands play there. Staff was nice. Venue was neat. Affordable tickets. Definitely going back

4 /5 Speros T.: Nice place to see a concert. The upper level has seating so old guys like me can sit and enjoy the show. Lower level is GA. I cant stand for long periods of time. The sound could be better. Both bands vocals seemed washed to me. Im a little picky on vocals so ymmv.

5 /5 Tony Basile: Great live music room in the historic town of Joliet! Our band performed there this past weekend and everything was spot on!! Thank you Lara and the staff for makimg it real!
