  After living in Issaquah for over 4 years, we finally stopped by this place on a Friday night.  Little did I know it was so big inside and lively.  From the outside, I thought it was going to be a little hole in the wall joint.
  The staff was friendly and poured good drinks.  There is also an outdoor patio in the back with tables and chairs to enjoy during the summer months.
  
  Pool tables are also there for those into that stuff.  I want to say there were two tables?
  
  As far as atmosphere - there was little bit of everyone from all different backgrounds.  They had all types of great music playing and sports games on the tvs.  They also serve typical bar food.
  
  Definitely give it a try with a group of friends if you've never been and then see if it's your type of thing!

  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.

  The place itself is a joke. So here's what happened: a few friends and I (myself and 4 guys) decided to go here one night because we all grew up in the area and have always thought of this place to be where the local alcoholic dads frequent so we wanted to see how bad it really is. I drove and stayed sober. When we got there, 3 of the guys went to the bathroom and I had one of them stay with me because the men there were already making me uncomfortable with their glances. Once the 3 guys came back, my other friend went to pee too. We all took awhile to decide what to order but eventually ordered a round of tequila shots and then the guys got beers as well. I noticed the two bartenders talking about us and assumed they were thinking that we're underaged even though we're all 21 but I was not enjoying being talked about as that's so unwelcoming. One of the guys spilled some of his beer on his way to sit down at the table. As we were about to go play pool, a man comes over and gets in our faces. He refers to himself as "a regular" as if that's in any way impressive to be a regular at Joker's Pub in a strip mall in Issaquah that shares a parking lot with lovers and a vape shop. I couldn't help myself but laugh a bit to which he also said "oh, sweetie, I run Seattle and Bellevue too" and that's when I knew this was about to become a bunch of guys trying to assert dominance. He then asks what the guy that spilled some beer is on and says he suspects it's cocaine or molly. Well my friend may have a low tolerance, but he wasn't on drugs. My friends all start asking this man to leave us alone but he refuses and his friend walks over and joins in. They call my friends "puppies" and "newbies" and they're the "big dogs." I'm laughing this whole time at how ridiculous it all is. Finally the little security guy comes over and tells us that we need to leave because they're the regulars. It turns out, the bartenders and "the regulars" were all talking about us and came to the conclusion that my guy friends were all doing lines of coke in the bathroom when we first got there just because they all went together. Are you kidding me?! The guys tried to talk to the security guard about how absurd this was not because we cared about staying but just because it was so false and unfair. Well the security guard started saying the cops were on their way and "the regulars" were still puffing their chests when I finally got my guy friends to just leave it and get in the car since none of those people were worth arguing with. I know we came here essentially as a joke and without any intentions of visiting more than once, but I wasn't expecting this place to be that much of a shit show.

  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.
