Kosha ShahDecember 8, 2014The brunch is super fun!!! Out waiter was amazing! The food took awhile to come out but we had the boozy brunch so didn't realize! Get the side of tater tots!!!
PaulJune 2, 2017For a table close to the stage come early, in a group of 2-4 people. The upstairs menu is larger than the show room menu.Show room service can be slow, be ready to order as soon as the server comes.
Andrew ShehataSeptember 10, 2012This is one great comedy club and restaurant! The owners have done a wonderful job and really make this place have the feeling of what a true comedy club should be! I highly suggest you check it out!- Bettina KMarch 18, 2017Small comedy club. Get the tickets in advance. If you are lucky a famous comedian is in town and will try his latest jokes on you before releasing them to the larger crowd and on TV
Lindsay RoseFebruary 23, 2015There's just something amazing about a good basement venue. One of my favorite comedy clubs in New York. Try to catch Todd Barry some night (not literally please).
Natalie AnilloMarch 14, 2015Don't get the chicken & waffles for brunch if you're looking for fried chicken - it's not. You can also get either regular waffles or swap in red velvet waffles.
- Natalie AnilloMarch 14, 2015Trust me - for brunch, get the truffle mac and cheese & tater tots. It's not on the menu, but ask for truffle gravy with your tots. You won't regret it.
Rebecca MazzaApril 17, 2016Their brunch is outstanding! Love the pancakes and the chicken waffles are sweet, not salty.
E DwardFebruary 14, 2016Free show Mondays at 10pm. Good drinks when they're mixed correctly. They serve Brooklyn Sorachi Ace by the bottle. No drink minimum. For a comedy spot it doesn't feel like a dark den of despair.- Bree LangstonMarch 13I went there & it was fine but I have since found that they booked TJ Miller many times:
AnissaAugust 8, 2016Hilarious $5 Funnies shows on Tuesdays! (8pm/10pm) Sit in the front row at your own risk and prepare for an entertaining night!
Tash HJanuary 5, 2013Great comedy club. Hilarious comics. Professional wait staff. Class act bartender let me sample wine which is rare in restaurants and bars.
My favorite comedy club. I go every almost ever week to see a show.- A great spot to get some good food and see great comedy (without the drink minimums).
Maria MarquesFebruary 5, 2013Management CringeHumor. Upstairs: a top notch restaurant, no drink minimums. Downstairs: network showcases, podcast tapings, traditional standup shows
Theodore SmithDecember 14, 2014The breakfast Tots were AMAZING. Service was great and drinks were consistently refilled for ABC brunch.
Venera VarbanovaDecember 1, 2015Hit or miss. Tiny and crowded. I have had lots of laughs and lots of dull moments here. Hard to get same-day tickets, reserve in advance.
martha dentonDecember 16, 2015The talent booker is solid and really a super nice human. The wait staff is hit or miss. Last night I went, down right bad.
CBS New YorkMay 9, 2016They're serving Coney Island Pilsner and Truffle Macaroni and Cheese for Ales N' Apps Week (May 9-13)
Randall NovalSeptember 23, 2012The crab cakes. The steak sandwich. A side of truffle gravy. These are the only things you need to know.
Tom JosephApril 25, 2015The stand-up comedians are hit and miss like anywhere but entertaining overall. Staff are fairly officious in enforcing the seating policy though
- CBS New YorkApril 26, 2016They're serving Truffle Macaroni and Cheese for Ales N' Apps Week (May 9-13)
Charlotte ChanJune 27, 2017Wow this place is such a shady business. Purchased tickets and was told have to reserve seats a week in advance, a couple days tried to call again and was told the tickets were basically no good.
Brittany NunezOctober 3, 2013The show was good.... Drinks are a different story... $10 for a shot and it's not even a real shot??? Really? Drink before you come here , then come see the show. Over priced , not worth the time.
