JP Checker's

My favorite neighborhood bar by far. The owner did a great job updating the inside, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they have an awesome patio. Always a great time!

Awesome.. friendly people. Small unique bar.. good drinks.. cant wait for it to open completely (due to covid restrictions)

The new owner has turned this bar around! Excellent spot to get a drink! A classic Buffalo bar.

Great location and friendly environment to enjoy meeting with friends. Excellent customer service and drinks.

Great staff good drinks and gotta love the hot dogs! All at a reasonable price! 💙💜

Very comfortable atmosphere polite bartender would definitely come back again

Friendly, great selection at reasonable prices. Two Dart Boards!

Genuinely never had a bad time here, if I’m going to the bar these days, I’m most likely going here. As a visibly queer person I’ve been harassed at many north buffalo bars, but this one has always been welcoming. The music is always on point, the bartenders friendly and attentive, they have darts and even several flavors of high noon which are my favorite canned drink.

Nicest bartenders in North Buffalo! Amazing atmosphere with great music and patrons! Jamison is the man!

Spent 20 mins on the can. Two fresh rolls of TP. Clean seat. No one bothered me. Even had an air freshener for after I was done with the place.

As a middle-aged dude for whom sleep has replaced sex as the ultimate goal in life, this place has reinvigorated me. Met some friends here for drinks and had a great time. Emily the bartender was on point all night. A brilliant host, her sarcasm and wit were superior to mine, which pissed me off at first but eventually I conceded defeat. Worth every penny. Will definitely be returning as often as I can! Also, they have dart boards!

Crystal, your review doesn't say anything about the members of the LGBTQ community or the people of color who enjoyed the rest of their night at Checkers after your crew left because it was your poor behavior that was the only problem there. Also conspicuously absent in your review is the part where you guys smashed beer bottles on the pavement in front of the establishment, don't worry tho, it's on video. As a customer I hope you never return, I'm betting the owner feels the same.

Fantastic gem on hertel, with great roast beef sandwiches and Sahlen’s hotdogs on the grill. It has seen better days in the past, but it’s recent renaissance has made it an incredible establishment. Also, if there were a contest for most usable, cleanliness and comfortable bathroom in the city limits to take a dump in, they would win.

Thought I would never put 5 stars on this place. Very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Huge transformation from what the place was. Our bartender/psychiatrist Lauren was fast and attentive. Appeared that she enjoyed working rather than some bartenders at other places. I will visit again for sure.

Good food good price! No indoor seating, cuts down on overhead and they pass it on to customers.

It is really not the same as the old Checkers. I feel underdressed and the woodwork is overdressed. The vibe is like having a beer in a Whole Foods.

Only reason you have 1 star is because I have to give you something to review your establishment. Brought in over 20 people to your bar to celebrate to find out you've blocked black and Hispanic music on your juke box. When the owner Jamison was questioned about it, he denied having control over the music which was a bold face lie. He does not want Black or Hispanic customers in his bar. We took our crew outta there and down Hertel where they're welcomed. Will never be back and don't suggest anyone else goes here either.

Just wondering if u can sit down beside someone u know when ur a bit light and not worry about getting a beer Or if u bought a round for someone would there be 20 coming back to ya? If not , u have no business using Checkers name. Ur just a wanna be checkers, capitalizing on the name and location. Slainte Michael Thomas.
