My sister and I watched JR De Guzman on a Friday evening. We were running late and both parking lots nearby (directly across and kitty corner) were completely full. We were able to find a paid parking lot a block away. Since we were late (15 minutes into the opening act), we were told that empty seats were scarce and it might be difficult to find ones close together. Luckily, we were escorted to a table that had 2 seats together! I could not imagine trying to find seats in the dark so it's nice they have someone to help you. Just a heads up - you will be placed at a table with complete strangers. Also, the venue does not allow you to take videos or photography of the performers. I loved how you can order directly from your table by scanning a QR code, and the items will be delivered right to you. Please note there is a minimum of 2 items per person. We ordered a watermelon margarita each, nachos, and tempura shrimp. There was an issue with our food. We were told it was last call, and we still had not received our food order. After bringing it to the worker's attention, she said she would personally check on it. Shortly after, our food arrived. Both the food and drinks were delicious!

My girls and I had such a great time at the show. The drinks were pretty good, and the appetizers were satisfying. The only critique is that the space is quite small, so everyone is elbow-to-elbow at shared tables, which made it difficult for the waitstaff to navigate with drinks and food. It was a bit distracting when people walked around delivering orders, but no hard feelings--they did an excellent job with service. It's more an issue with how the comedy club is set up.

Went here for a Chappel Roan drag brunch and had a great time. The venue is really pretty inside and it's in the main downtown area, so walking distance to go out afterwards. My friends and I ordered drinks (two item minimum for the show) and all drinks were great. Staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely want to come back for a comedy show in the future.

We came here for Jeff Acuri's show and arrived about 15 minutes before it started. They seated us in the back, right next to the camera. It looked like some tables had to be shared with other couples, which seemed a bit cramped. There were three openers, each performing for 10-15 minutes. They were all decently funny, although the first couple of openers didn't have quite enough time to fully build up their jokes. Since we had to order two items each, we got the watermelon margarita, Street Tacos with chicken and beef, Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and the Brownie Salted Caramel mason jar dessert. The margarita was decent, but had that artificial candy watermelon taste--not too much, though. The street tacos were just okay, nothing special. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was also just okay. It had some spice, but the bread was a little dry, and the chicken reminded me of those chicken patties from school cafeterias. The mason jar dessert was probably the best food item we had. It was mainly chocolate pudding with some brownie bites, caramel, and whipped cream, but I didn't really notice the toffee bits they mentioned. Overall, the comedy was great, but I would probably pass on the food. I'd recommend just getting some drinks or snacks instead.
