Review Summary

The Comedy Nest is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Montreal, offering an intimate and historical atmosphere that consistently delivers high-quality stand-up comedy with a mix of talented performers. Visitors frequently praise the affordable ticket prices and the overall friendly service provided by the staff, making it a popular choice for both locals and tourists looking for a fun evening. While the venue is appreciated for its entertaining shows and welcoming environment, some guests have noted drawbacks regarding the limited food selection, the lack of complimentary water, and the inconvenience of having to leave the club to access restrooms. Occasional complaints regarding seating arrangements, sound quality, and inconsistent service experiences suggest that while the entertainment value remains high, there is room for improvement in venue amenities and operational flow.

I recently visited The Comedy Nest & unfortunately, my experience was disappointing overall.

One major inconvenience was that the bathroom is not located inside the comedy club itself - you have to leave the venue & walk toward the arcade area to use the restroom, which really disrupts the evening.

The drink options were quite limited, & I was surprised that they don't offer a complimentary glass of water - you're required to purchase bottled water instead.

Service was also lacking. The waitress took only part of our order & rushed off while I was still speaking. When I tried to continue, she mentioned that other clients were arriving, which felt dismissive & unprofessional.

While some of the comedians were funny, it wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend & would not return.

Went on Valentine's night with my partner, & we were both really disappointed.

When we were being sat, the employee brought us to a table with another couple & pointed to it, saying'you can sit here, they are a lovely couple'.

Given that we were at a comedy club coupled with the fact that there were about 15 empty tables nearby, I thought the employee was doing a bit. I half-jokingly said,'are you serious...?' to which the employee very abruptly said,'we are fully sold out tonight, so yes, I am serious'.

I looked around the room & gestured towards the several empty tables, & the employee shrugged,'I guess you can sit over there then'.

My partner & I walked ourselves to an empty table (which was surrounded by several other empty tables), & by the time everyone had been seated, there were still 10 or so completely empty tables. Very bizarre.

The drinks were good & well-priced, but we were disappointed to see the only food on the menu was a small basket of popcorn (for I think $7?) & nachos & salsa, for an equally absorbent price.

Overall, we won't be back as while the comedians were funny, we'll go see them at a different venue with better customer service & snacks.

Been there twice. The ambience is great, their Montreal mule is a must. The comedians are funny & ensure you reach there on time to get the first seats. It's a whole different vibe being seated near the stage vs afar.
