Jester’s Billiards

Pretty great for a dive bar. Dig the atmosphere, and great prices on drinks. Good pool prices. Depending on the night the clientele can be a bit dicey though. Still a great place to go with a group for some good fun.

Cool place to hang out. Cheap play and great staff. The only thing I’m sad about is the under 21 policy after 11. I understand it, but now I just wish I was 21!

Lacy and Ashley are the funniest bartenders I’ve met in Arizona. The commeraderie between the whole staff is unbelievable. I asked them if it’s just a façade and they talk a bunch of shit behind each other’s backs… nope, they really get along. I had to come back the next night and they remembered my name and what I want to drink I love them so much! I don’t want to leave tomorrow.
Oh, and they have pool.

Five stars for the Employees one star for the owner. I’m not a regular but I have been going there occasionally since 1996 when it was the Lazy Q. The beer selection is great but I would steer clear if you enjoy music that would be considered extreme. The jukebox had tons of «clean» music on it and had many bands excluded from the data base. Really? I applaud the owner for editing music he doesn’t like. His excuse was people left the pool hall because patrons would play «Death metal or Gansta Rap «incessantly. It’s a bar, not a family resturant. It’s too bad the owner is regulating morality like our Government. I vote with my dollars. I’ll be going elsewhere for some beers after work. It’s too bad because his great employees are losing tips and the owner looses the cut he gets on the jukebox.

This is a great place to play pool and darts. Not too loud, not rowdy, plenty of room to move around. Our favorite neighborhood pool joint by far!

Great pool hall they have a smoking room as well. They have darts, quarter tables, and games. I only gave it four because they play the weirdest music there, it trips me out lol

If i could give this no stars i would. Very rude. I had a mt dew that was in a glass bottle and was drinking it in my car beforw me and my friends went in bevause most places wont let you bring in your drinks. The owner came out and rudely told us to leave. I understand if it was alcohol and all that but he didnt even ask or make sure it was. All o had was mt dew!!! Like seriously. Save your time and dont go! Very rude!

I have be an on and off customer to this establishment since it was Lazy Q ~10 years ago and a regular for the last two years. (3 – 4 times a month).Typically my bar tab is between 70 and 150 dollars every time I go. Recently the owner has decided to remove all music selections on the Touchtones music Jukebox that is classified as metal including Korn, Godsmack, Deftones, Mudvayne, Statix-​X, Slipknot, and Lamb of God. I feel very alienated as this is my genre that I like to listen to. I understand that some bad apples have caused this to happen, but no one likes when a few ruin it for everyone.
A solution to the problem would be instead of bulk removal, remove songs abused, or skip songs that are abused.
I do not want this review to reflect poorly on the staff or the establishment. I love the staff and establishment except for this recent decision that has completely ruined my experience for one of my favorite hangouts. I hope the owner realizes his decision was rash and will lead to an exodus of customers if he retains his current methodology of thinking.

Why 4 stars? One of the few really good Foosball table’s in town. As a once avid Foosball player I know how hard they are to come buy. Was actually playing in a league there for a while, so I know their food is good (they actually order from the place next door and bring it over, so they have great Garlic bread). the pool tables are good, dart boards good, and things are not too crowded.

When I stumbled into this pool hall the first thing I noticed was the music… the terrible scream at the top of your lungs over banging drums and guitars type of music! If I had been driving myself, I would have turns around and found something more my speed! That being said. Service was good, we always had beer and didn’t have to wait long. Tables are a little rough but playable.

Such a blast! The staff is super! Lots of pool tables, along with darts and some old school video games! I loved that we could get food from Rino D’s right next store!
I also love the fact that they stay open late.

No need to waste time going here. Just drive to different place avoiding the rude staff guy. Seemed like a good idea to go to this place.
I attended this place for my birthday. I had been at this place and I had an incident were I was charged for another tables drink. I told the guy we hadn’t ordered any drinks. which he confirmed with his server. She was good about asking us if we wanted drinks. she told the guy it was her mistake and it was fixed. I go a second time and with my previous experience I checked the bill. I found a mistake again an extra beer that hadn’t been ordered. I mentioned to the guy about this had being the second time I had an incident. he tells me (maybe I shouldn’t go there as a reply). I have shared my experience with you to avoid you a headache.

The service is absolutely terrible. You go in and wait five minutes for someone to acknowledge you. Then a server walks around once and doesn’t ask if you would like anything. They will sit and chat with regulars and have a good time ignoring you. Good for them if they want to lose money on the table.

I went on a Friday night and had a good time! The staff took a while to get me my beer every time but it happens. A lot of younger attractive people which was nice! The music was awful though. They played a country song, followed by some pop song, followed by a screamo song, and then stopped playing music for a solid ten minutes. Other than the slow service and poor music I had a great experience and plan to go back!

Went there on Sunday. Bought a hat that gives me free pool on Sundays now. I had a blast. Tables are good. Atmosphere is very chill. A very good pool hall. Love their specials…

I usually love jesters because of their awesome beer selection, pool tables, and megatouch. I did used to come in because they had pretty good customer service too. Recently I moved and haven’t been by in awhile, but today after work I was really craving a good craft beer and some megatouch. I walked in and the bar top was half full so I decided to grab a beer and go to the smoking side (even though I don’t smoke) to play a few games because after standing there for a few minutes non of the employees even acknowledged I was standing there. One of their trashy bartenders was too busy shouting and cussing at some regular about how she was trying to get off work soon. I sat on the smoking side for 25 minutes playing some games as two different bartenders walked in and out helping other people. I tried making eye contact to try and get a beer but that didn’t help. I finally left when the bartender trying to get off her shift cashed out the guy sitting next to me and still did not acknowledge that I was there. Some of the worst service I’ve had… almost as bad as the service from Simpletons, (every once in awhile you can get a beer there if the bartender isn’t too strung out on heroine) but this was only my first or second bad experience I’ve had at jesters so I won’t actually say as a whole they are that bad. I could throw my empty beer glass on any given day at the bartender at simpletons and they still wouldn’t know I finished my beer… so hopefully today was a fluke and maybe next time I will be able to get one of their delicious beers after a long day of work.

My family and I often go here to play on Jester’s quality tables and enjoy their competitive prices and friendly staff.
Jester’s has an awesome selection of beers and their partnership with a neighboring Italian restaurant is a genius business model.
I come with my family (women except for me) and enjoy their lady’s night special (only I have to pay.) This makes for a cheap and fun family night.
This is not a perfect rating for two reasons:
1) There have been a few occasions when we have shown up ready to play but all the tables are booked for leagues and tournaments. This is a good thing for Jester’s but a bad thing for recreational players. I cannot think of a fix except to purchase more square footage and add more tables. Maybe get rid of the plastic tip dart section since I never see people use those.
2) I have witnessed one occurance (but other customers have told me this is common) where the opening shift is late to open the doors for business. I waited and hour for her to arrive and let us in.

They have an inside smoking room in AZ!!! I love this place. The bartender was very nice. I had a great time, only bad things is the heavy plastic you have to go through to get in to the smoking room is a pain when you’re carrying a rack of balls and drinks and the floors could use some cleaning. Plus when you’re in there, even though there is a walk through for the bar staff, they never popped over to see if anyone needed anything. Other than that it’s a great place

I am no pool expert by any stretch, but I really love coming to this place. The staff is very low turnover and super friendly, and it is an inexpensive, low-​key date. The crowd is comprised of a whole variety of people, so no matter who you are you’ll fit in.
If you are looking for something to do «late night» on the east side that is not a movie, it can be tricky to find something. This is a great option for a group of friends, a couple, a couple of couples (ha!), and I have a buddy that even goes alone.
There is someone owner/​manager-​ish who recognizes people (us) and takes time to acknowledge you, make sure you’re happy, etc.

Awesome pool hall!
The manfriend and I made the treck to check out the pool hall a friend of ours suggested. It was a great idea! Tons of pool tables, many different sizes as well. You can rent them hourly and there are some quarter tables as well. The neatest thing that I haven’t seen in a while is they have a smoking room. Its not a patio, its an actual room, with pool tables and a bar, and you can smoke inside. This is not my cup of tea per say, but I know it is a huge plus for a lot of people.
I also noticed they only serve beer and wine… however, if you get a look at their beer menu you wont miss the liquor one bit. Some of my faves are the numerous DogFishHead beers they have, they had the PUNK (pumpkin ale) on draft the last time were in, yum!
They have a great juke box as well… TIP for iPhone users*** download the My Touch Tunes app on your phone and you can play music right from your phone on the bars juke box and you wont have to walk across the bar to hear your jams. Awesome!
They do not serve food in the bar, HOWEVER they ahve a deal with the Italian place next door, pizza pasta salad sammys, that you can order from your server and they will deliver to the bar when its ready. You can bring other food into the bar from any of the other places around there too, so no biggie on that end.
Happy pooling!
