| - Stand Up Live offers a lot of hilarious stand up acts such as Bill Burr, Dave Attell and Anthony Jeselnik. Located at Cityscape, doors open a few hours before the show and you can dine there for dinner courtesy of their restaurant Copper Blues. The prices for the food and drinks are high but that's to be expected of comedy clubs. Note that there is a 2 drink minimum. I wish it were a 2 item minimum instead because I'm more apt to get a drink and something to eat rather than 2 drinks.
Unless you call ahead and get upgraded/seating, it's first come first serve. We got here 30 minutes before the sold-out Anthony Jeselnik show on Saturday and ended up at a table the second furthest from the back. Visibility there was decent, and if you are unable to see the stage they do have TV screens above so you can see the live footage. I don't think they could pack in more seats if they tried! You will be sandwiched in with other people as close as it is legally possible so throw your notions of personal space out the door haha.
Food is your typical bar food, with sandwiches, burgers, and various munchies such as pretzels, nachos and wings. If you are having a dry night, they offer Coke products and for $13.95 you can get the unlimited soda which satisfies the 2 drink minimum requirement.
I tried some of the burger and fries. The burger was a decent size and tasted alright. The fries were lightly crispy and hot. Is it $14 good? Well no, but everything here's a bit higher priced than normal anyways.
Service was great. Our server was really on top of things and was quick to refill our drinks to make sure we got as close to our $14 worth of soda as possible.
Overall, don't expect too much from the food value-wise and avoid this place if you get claustrophobia but if you don't mind either then the shows here are really good!
