Review Summary

The Comedy Nest is widely recognized as a top destination for live stand-up comedy in Montreal, frequently praised for its intimate atmosphere, affordable ticket prices, and high-quality performances from both opening acts and headliners. Many visitors appreciate the venue's historical location within the former Montreal Forum and find it to be a reliable spot for an entertaining evening. However, the overall guest experience varies significantly regarding logistics and service. Some patrons express frustration with the limited food options, the lack of restrooms within the club space, and inconsistent levels of customer service. While many guests describe the staff as friendly and the atmosphere as cozy, others have encountered issues with professionalism and inefficient seating practices. Ultimately, the venue is considered a beloved comedy staple, though potential visitors should be prepared for a modest menu and basic amenities.

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.
