I never got her name but she was the lone waitress serving the entire hall. She did a great job! But I'm bummed out that she didn't check my ID while she checked everyone else's ID. I don't think I look that old lol (I'm probably delulu about how I look lol) read more

I'm a huge fan of wing Wednesday! I'm sure some master wing eaters might say they are weak but oh do I need my beer and blue cheese dressing to survive! Service is great...they are pretty good about remembering us and our favorites! read more

Just left this place.. done waste your time...the waitress that's on shift right now sucks.. just left us there sitting. The waitress was too busy flirting with the customer to secure them tips read more

Cool bar to come and watch the cougs games. It was packed during apple cup but the server was taking care of us. Good price food and drinks. The atmosphere was pretty fun, talked to a lot of strangers who were all there for the game. read more

I really enjoy this place! My friends and I try to come every Tuesday at 7 for their trivia that's free to play and we always have a great time. It's run though geeks who trivia so we're able to see the questions both on our phones and on the large TV screens in the bar. The host is lively and you get a gift card if you win! The food and drinks are solid and the tables are always impressively clean. I like how this bar is spacious and can fit a lot of people without feeling too crowded. Parking can sometimes be unavailable but it's easy to just park across the street next to the thrift store and McDonald's. read more

That restaurant is terrible--it's not clean, and the tables are dirty. I ordered a burger with fries, but the fries turned out to be old and oily. I asked the waitress to replace them with fresh ones, but her attitude completely turned me off. In the end, they charged me $30 for just a burger and a cheese sandwich, which was also awful. I do not recommend this place at all--I'm really sorry! read more

Truly a joke. The prices are insane for what you get. Can't stand this clicky place. Food is OK but vibe to me sucks!

It's a okay sports bar, I guess a place to hangout and watch a game after work or so. I wouldn't make it my go to place though. I haven't been here in a long time, I'm guessing about 5 maybe 6 years since I last worked in Redmond. I used to work 4 10s and and get off at 4:00 pm so this place was a good place to watch sports, eat and have drinks. I must say nothing much has changed here but the PRICES. I do understand everything cost more with inflation but the prices for food and drinks here are RIDICULOUS! They charged so much now! I can't comprehend and understand why they charge so much? $1 or even $2 is reasonable but $4 is a little too much, and as much as I like their Peanut Butter Bacon Burger, I don't think I'll come back again. $16.75 for a burger is a little too much for me, service was not all that good too. I also waited quite a bit for my drink and my food. I don't recommend this place! The prices and service are terrible! Parking sucks too! But if you decided to try it out for yourself, I recommend trying the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger. It's delicious...but is it really worth $16+? HELL NO! read more

threw away my food because I have a disability brain damage to be more specific and instead of just kicking me out because they thought I was drunk, took my food and threw it away instead of packing it up and having me leave even though I gave them a 30% tip before they out. if you have a disability I highly recommend do not come here read more

This used to be my favorite bar in the area but over the past years because of a lively atmosphere, nice staff, and good food late into the evening. Also nice that there is a smoking area just outside on the patio. They have lots of TVs for the big game and they had good music otherwise. NOW the staff are rude, food is not very good, and it seems there is always some kind of "incident" of drama. Last weekend, staff chased a black customer out the door accusing him of trying to run out on his bill. He was getting his wallet from the car. Staff handled the situation badly and then were talking very loudly about him after he left in racist terms. Lots of other stories like that. They also have a jukebox for music so you never know what the "atmosphere will be like." It could be country one time, gangster rap the next, or perhaps heavy metal or whatever. And if you put pump the jukebox full of money, the bartender just might bump out your music and put on Britney Spears. Just to add to the insult, the bartender may just start singing along loudly with Britney in a big F-You move. If you love a great dive-bar with cool people, look elsewhere - as others have said, the Joker is a joke. read more

Good spot for a quick bite and a good cocktail. The staff works hard and makes sure everything is just right.

So I come here all the time, but then all of a sudden the price inflated so much!!!! $20 burger at a bar!?!? Seriously??? I'm sorry but no.... And $12 for a Jameson shot???? Like seriously?? Why the sudden change in prices? I came here after after work because you are the cleanest place open late... please don't make me settle for the Log or H&H!! Lower the prices at least a little. You raised them WAY TO MUCH!! A lot of my friends have said the same thing and are not going to return... you're going to lose to much business. read more

Place really close to home, my husband and I tried to make it our to go to place to unwind after a long week. It was great, bartenders are nice and I like the music playing. I'm the type that always wants food or an app and had been doing it up until I sat at the end of the bar and watched the cook do his thing and he literally touched everything without gloves. His cell, food, some type of report, food. It was gross, I mentioned to the waitress after the 3rd visit of witnessing it but she just said aww I'm sorry. We haven't been back because like I said I really like to order food with our drinks. read more

This place might be confused, they must think they are located in a fun neighborhood in Seattle or downtown Bellevue, because they prices are ridiculous for Issaquah in a small little strip mall next to a Lover's. I'm still shocked that I paid over $11 for a single vodka soda in Issaquah. The food is also mediocre, the fries weren't fresh and the wings were mediocre but overpriced. I would probably avoid coming here, there are other places to get drinks in Issaquah. read more

I used to love this place, but within the past six months the service has gotten progressively worse. It seems like the bartenders are there primarily to socialize, not tend bar. The past three times I've come here it has taken way too long to get any type of service, which wouldn't be to bad except for the fact that I was just one of three customers. Unfortunately, the other two customers were friends with the bartender and they were engrossed in a conversation about drugs (FYI: They're big fans of the local pot shop), boyfriends, customers, and a few other entertaining topics. I could've probably listened to it for another hour or two, but for that I would've needed another beer and the bartender was too busy chatting it up to serve it to me! If the owners ever decide to train their staff focus to bit more on customer service I'd be willing to give it another shot. read more

Good local place for televised sports events. Wait staff are congenial, the regulars are welcoming (e.g., I came for the Apple Cup and found a friendly jousting crowd that bought each other and me drinks throughout, even well after the outcome was decided), and I bet you could get the cooks to deviate from the posted menu. There aren't enough places like The Joker nowadays. It's like Cheers in Issaquah. read more

Oh the Joker. Strong drinks, and mostly good food for a bar. Go on Wednesday for Wing Night, the wings are some of the best. The BLT is incredible, but only if you like a BLT with a thick stack of bacon, try it as the BLTCE, same big stack of bacon but with cheese and an egg. Also the Burger Dip is good , and just out of curiosity you should probably try the Peanut Butter Bacon Burger. If only they would turn down the lights... read more

Great place for drinks and food, the servers/bartenders do everything to make sure that you are happy, would definitely recommend to everyone one more read more

Emily is hands down the best bartender/waitress! Foods is good and the drinks are on point!

A great place for a beer after work, or to watch the games on Sunday. Friendly service and a good mix of regulars, local business people and folks just stopping by means that an interesting conversation is always awaiting you across the table or down the bar. read more

Great food, drinks and atmosphere!. My server Ashley was the best out there, always made sure I had what I needed and always had a smile on her face. I highly recommend this place for great food, drinks, sports and amazing service. read more

the best Coug bar in king county! Emily is the best and always makes sure we are taken care of!

Really good local/sports bar in Issaquah if you are looking for somewhere to have a drink or watch your favorite team! Plenty of TVs, and they are always willing to put whatever game you want to watch. Taco Tuesday and wing Wednesday are always a good option if looking for good food! They serve breakfast on weekends, which is a good option. Emily and Becca, the bartenders always treat everyone well, and make you feel at home! read more

This establishment has been a landmark basically of bars for Issaquah. The selection of wings they had used to be delicious. I went recently and it just wasn't the same quality like before. Hopefully after Covid lets up they'll be back to their normal selves. This place has so many TVs in it for a game and is in a great location and had a pretty decent menu selection for a local bar. I'll give them a second chance and come back. Hopefully I'll be able to update this review then. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! My favorite wings place in Washington state. I take every guest here that visits us.

Went there last Friday for high school reunion. Great food and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very kind

Dropped in for a late drink, after a really amazing dinner at the Iris nearby. Which led to something akin to culture shock. The Joker feels like a locals pub. There are a couple pool tables, tv screens, tables and a bar. My one complaint was how damned bright it was when we walked in. For a brief moment I thought maybe it was closing time and they were kicking folks out, but no, that's just the ambient lighting. The bartender served up some strong drinks, and we sat and chatted for an hour or so. Nothing really stood out about this place, maybe because I was blinded by the lights, and not too revved up like a deuce... ok I'm stopping that little bit of not-so-cleverness right there. read more

Wost ever! Don't go here they billed me as a single old guy the tab for a table, and would not correct the bill $163.00 bill! totally rude and dishonest. They see an older professional guy and scam them. read more

What to say about the Joker, just a good neighborhood spot. Usually see the same people. They've got lots of love for the community. Ask for lemonade and vodka or a blue moon :) I'm the queen of connect 4, I'll beat ya, if ya let me! read more

Love this place. It's an Issaquah institution. Killer burgers and one hell of a lunch special. Any burger $6...can't beat that. The real 5 star element is the staff. They're very attentive, conversational, and act like they care that you chose their establishment! read more

Worst service tonight that I have ever had here. Literally waited in a line that didn't matter. Bartender was so unpleasant to deal with and almost seemed irritated that I was even here and I just wish I had came on a night there were other servers. Usually I feel much better about coming in to enjoy a night cap after a long working day. read more

I wish there were a negative star. Sadly, this place suffers from multiple issues. First is the food. It's not only mediocre bar food, it's often inconsistent between inedible and just ok. How do you screw up frying frozen tater tots? Maybe you aren't going there for food, ok...their second issue is the service. It is slow and not personable. In other words, you are just another person to wait on. That's all fine and dandy when they are really busy, but, if they are slow and you get a sense you are a nuisance to get a refill, then they have issues. On one visit, my glass of water was cracked. I learned this by getting glass splinters on my hand. Ouch! The servers response "oh, did you want another glass". No, I'd actually like to call a lawyer, moron. Zero apology for serving me something that if ingested could kill me. Avoid this place at all costs. read more
