Neat place and atmosphere. Saw a comedy show here, was good. Not a huge menu but a decent selection. Food was pretty tasty. Good flavors. Good selection of drinks; wine, beer, cocktails. Prices are average. The service was a bit slow and we ended up having to order two drinks at once or else we’d be waiting forever. Friendly staff.
The bathrooms could use a splash of paint.
What an incredible experience right from the front door until the end of the evening. Amazing entertainment and staff. Will definitely be frequenting here.
Brought my husband and friend here for their birthday. The show was hilarious and food was amazing but the service needs work. Rarely seen our waitress until near the end of the show. When we got our bill, we were charged twice for nachos and beef. Got a refund for nachos but not the beef. Was given a 20 and told I was getting a bargain. LoL I don’t understand the bargain when I didn’t get the product. The twenty didn’t even cover what I was charged.
We would get up to order from the bar and the bartender would just hand us whatever she thought we should drink. I understood mixing up with the bud light and Budweiser, but bud light and Michelob don’t even sound remotely similar.
Our table by the couches had no stability. The show started late as they were waiting for other patrons. Felt that was inconsiderate to the people that did show up on time.
Food was absolutely mid tier for the price, drinks were good albeit very expensive.
Staff was friendly, they deserve a cheer since all the old people on my evening there were being dicks.
Atmosphere is great, and the live performances are also awesome, great for a date night!
The entire experience was a 10/10. I didn’t even ask them for anything but they gifted me a free drink and birthday dessert for my birthday!! I was extremely happy with the service, the atmosphere was a 10/10, best romantic date spot, the comedy was also really good. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND XOXO
