Shady place. If you play poker, or any table games, watch out. The employees also play and they will take your money- but not each other so it really isn't fun. When I sat down I mentioned to the woman (an employee) next to me it was my first time at this location, she loudly repeated it to the table and started laughing? Towards the end of the night, I found an ace set aside near the garbage can that is next to each table in the same spot. When questioning what the heck was going on, the manager in the card room said they throw out their decks... What! Oh, and he also mentioned that anyone could "buy those cards and bring them in". It seemed like he was more concerned about making excuses. As I left, I asked someone in the cage if, in fact, it was common practice to throw out the decks next to the tables. He was adamant they would not do this. Not a great night. This place is too shady for me.

I've only been once but I enjoyed my time spent and the atmosphere was pretty good. Fun late night time!

Best spot for a man with nothing to do & money to spend, in New Hampshire.

Cheap drinks but food is horrible. Good draft beer and bucket deals. I ordered wings and spicy fries but the wings were mostly breading with no meat, soggy, and made me feel sick later. Fries were overcooked and didn't have any spicy seasoning like they were suppose to.

Atmosphere was great, service could have been a little better.

The food manager seems too busy gambling games while running the kitchen so the food comes out terrible !!! Used to be a fun place but when staff is gambling with obvious inside information I’m not interested in going anymore

The menu has changed and so I hasn't the happy hour rules. In order to receive 25% discount, you must order at the bar. Poker is great here

Needs to update because they're slowly losing customers to the more attractive places like in Salem, Nashua etc. I have been playing at this place for years, going into the sharky days so I'm sure I will continue to go here.

This is like a tiny little casino... Not my thing,I'm honestly, surprised it's anybody's thing.... But then again there's not much to do in Manchester, New Hampshire.
This tavern is only receiving this star because you have to select one. This place seemed great when we entered. And it could be, if not for the staff. Bartenders were only interested in helping the regulars (all 3 of them). And servers didn't want anything to do with us. In all the bars and restaurants across this country, I have never felt more unwelcome! Shame on you for disgracing a fine industry that some of us still take pride in!

I started working in Manchester a few months back, and I wanted a place to hang out with friends after work. For a few months, Jokers was that place. Jokers had everything we wanted. Entertainment, reasonably priced foods, games, friendly service, Jokers had it all. Granted, not all the games worked, but it gave the place character in my opinion. Then, Jokers changed hands. The new owner is transitioning it into the Southside Tavern. Gone are the arcade games. Tables have been moved to where the games once stood. All that remains of the arcade are two Golden Tee Machines along with your standard Foosball and Pool. I would still go, the food and service are still superb. TJ and Meg at the bar are amazing! I just will never understand why you would take away what makes your bar unique, and make it just like every other bar?

not happy with Jokers. my friend and I went this week, "ladies night" they advertise 5$ apps. well were charged 42$ for 3 ? 5$ apps. and the manager eric wouldn't fix it. he said the waitress must have gotten busy. VERY disappointed. will not return or recommend!

A really dull and boring crowd.. No music and super slow service with drink mixes that are questionable to say the least. Overpriced. Not worth the trip..
