Show was good but they only have 2 snacks, popcorn & nachos, but there was no popcorn available. Drinks were good & reasonably priced but it is impossible to get a drink, took 35 minutes & we had to chase down the waitress to get a drink, she never came to offer us another, we had to get up & go find her to pay at the end of the show. They should get more bartenders & waitresses & be more organized.The bathroom is outside the venue in another location which is also annoying. At least there is $12 parking in the building.

Clean & comfortable, which is the most important thing. I wouldn't have a problem with them having a VERY limited drink & snack offering. However, of their two snack offerings the popcorn machine was broken so that left one option. & they directed us to the list of 4'premium' liquors, & when we tried to order one of them found out they were out, which they should have said up top. It just gave a weird impression of the place

Love coming here, I've seen some great & not so great shows, but that is what comes with supporting comedians! Venue in a great spot, lots of great restaurants around & you can pay for parking underground if needed.

Taking off one star just because I wish there were better food options...the chips & salsa & popcorn can use some TLC.

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.
