Big Joes, the original Turtle Races in Chicago. Starting at 7pm, every drink bought will earn Turtle Tickets. Tickets are in play all night, and if the Emcee calls your ticket number, you could win a Turtle race t-shirt, a free drink, or even an entry for a trip for two to Las Vegas. The only way to race is Turtle Tickets so play to win. Cold drinks, hot action and three important words: Turtle Race Fridays!

Meet your racers:
  1. Chucks: Sweet and nice, only knows one direction, forward. As the life of the party his drink: Deep Eddy Sweet Tea and Lemonade.
  2. Doozy: Stoic and Chill, Doozy is a class act but lives life on his own terms and at his own pace. Mostly in his own head, his drink: Deep Eddy Lime and Soda.
  3. Swisher: Fluid and zen like, Swisher moves around the track slicing between the competition. He’s quick off the line, but takes the path less followed. His drink: Deep Eddy Peach, OJ, and Soda
  4. Lucky Dan: The wildcard, Dan runs around the track stopping just before crossing or circling  the track teasing a victory. One thing is for certain, you can’t wait to see what Dan does next. His drink: Deep Eddy Orange, Ginger Ale, and Lemon/Lime Soda.
  5. Jolanda: The matriarch, the center, the slowest? Jolanda will raise your hope and break your heart in the same breath, but you will cheer for her every step of the way. Jolanda is our crowd’s favorite, her drink: Deep Eddy Original and Red Bull.
