| - I came expecting a casual, moderately entertaining experience, and left still laughing, a little buzzed, and definitely impressed. It was certainly memorable.
This place is pretty classy, with the majority of patrons (including me) putting effort into looking sharp. You'll need to bring your A-Game to blend in. Oh, and it helps if you're really social. The seating is...uh...intimate. Like, REALLY close. You'll have to consciously keep your elbows away from the patrons seated inches away.
The two-drink minimum doesn't bother me because let's face it, who WOULDN'T wanna knock back a couple in here? What blows, of course, is how overpriced they are. I mean, come on, my "Strong Island" was the night's "special", and was a mediocre cocktail for $15. Fortunately, that special came with a glass to keep. Okay, nifty.
The show was great, and the quality of service contributed to this greatly. Our waitress never got in the way or caused us to miss a joke. She was a little overwhelmed and slow in the beginning, but afterwards it was smooth sailing. We tipped her big. Toward the end, they had some sort of two-for-one shot special that turned sour when I realized the bartenders absolutely suck.
No seriously, HIRE BETTER BARTENDERS. They are TERRIBLE.
Stick to the beer and wine. Yes, you are going to spend a ton of money here, but that can be said about every venue ever, so I won't ding them for more than one star. This is the most legit place for comedy in the valley.
