Joe Palooka's

Smells like a strip club and has vibes of one. Even has a tv showing what girl bartenders will be there on which day.

There is a running joke about this place in other local bars "you mean you've been to Palookas and didn't get punched in the face?"When I was new to Thornton I was randomly assaulted and learned the hard way. Amazing this place has not been shut down. Enter at you're own risk, especially by yourself late at night. The pungent aroma of sh#$t from the plumbing is also a nice touch, although the ghetto clientele probably doesn't notice it. In fact, it looks like the most mentioned word in the reviews, according to Google, is "smell". Now that's hilarious.

Taylor is a g I would send Taylor a booty pic any day bc she's just so fire. Taylor should get a Nobel price for her hospitality

This place is amazing. Amazing staff and the best Bloody Mary and red beer in town. Great pool tables and plenty of TV's for all you sports fans. I've made so many friends here. Great place.

First time visiting this place and it does not serve food.. The bartender that spoke to me was really rude and arrogant. Not a place I would waste my time to visit again.

Always a good time @palookas can't wait till my bestie pops her baby out and we can come here TOGETHER #hannahhaveyourbabyimtiredofdrinkingherewithoutyou

My gf and I checked out this place after meeting these two guys there. I would say that this place is not my cup of tea. The music here was more along the lines of hip hop (which I do enjoy a good beat) but the vibe here is just a little ghetto for me. The people is just a different crowd. The place is a typical bar. They've got a small smoking patio, a dance floor, and two pool tables. I personally wouldn't come back to hang out here again because the place is not for me. But if I ever feel a little gangster I might drop it like it's hot on the dance floor!!!!

Mmmmmmmeh. Biggest thing; DJ needs to play music not in the 90s & early 2000s - play hits on the music charts NOW IN 2019!!!

Went here because the hubby and I wanted to go for drinks, and this place is within walking distance of our home. Drinks were good, service was great.It's the kind of place I've been looking for to watch Sunday Football.We'll be back!

Business lets underage people in the bar. Totally killed the vibe having to deal with 19 year olds!!
