| - Stand up Scottsdale provides a small, intimate setting for you to chuckle and laugh to your heart's content! Go here for the great stand up comedians and don't expect too much from the food, and you won't be disappointed.
We went here for the early Jackie Kashian show and browsed through the menu. There was a fairly wide range of mixed drinks, as well as your standard spirits and beers. The mixed drinks ranged from around $7 and up. We checked out the menu online ahead of time, and were disappointed that it was a very abbreviated version of the online menu at the show, with no burgers or sandwiches in sight. We ended up with the pretzels, fish and chips, and I had one of the club's mixed drinks, a take on the dark and stormy.
The drink was excellent. It was just the right amount of sweetness, with some carbonation and kick from the ginger beer, and it had a smooth, sophisticated taste. The food was just OK. The pretzel sticks were decent, albeit quite salty (Even for pretzels!), but the fish in the fish & chips was quite industrial looking. Although nice and crispy, it was a rectangular brick of mass-produced fish that was only a step up from what the Gorton's Fisherman could serve you.
Despite the lackluster menu, the show was great! Jackie Kashian was hilarious, and you can tell the owners put their heart and soul into providing good quality acts for the audience. For those that like magic acts, there was a pre-show magic act going around the tables, although with all the din it was hard to hear what the magician was saying!
So overall, a good show, but to paraphrase what owner Howard said in the warm-up act, I'm one of those "Yelp idiots that don't even know what they're talking about", so don't take my word for it, just go!
