My friends and I went to Tempe improv last night for a girls night out to see Heather McDonald. Let's just say we were less than impressed. To start, when we walked in there was a foul smell in the lobby area. After the show we learned there was some sort of sewage problem going on. Walking past the kitchen area I couldn't believe I just ate food that came out of that kitchen with the awful smell.
I ordered a lemon drop martini, advertised as coming to your table in a cocktail shaker and having a sugar rimmed glass. There was no shaker and there was no sugar.
My friends and I saw the couple sitting next to us eating what looked to be some delicious soft pretzels with beer cheese sauce. We attempted to order and were told that was the last batch. When my friend asked our server if there were any other menu items not available so that we would know before ordering, our server gave us attitude, instead of politely apologizing for being out of an item or offering other suggestions.
We made it through the show and afterwards I went to use the restroom. There was no toilet paper in at least two of the four stalls and the trash was overflowing.
We were looking forward to being able to meet Heather McDonald in the lobby after, as we have been to the improv previously and had been able to meet the comedians after the show. We then saw all three comedians from the show running into the parking lot, getting into a car, and driving away.
Our overall experience here was so disappointing I think I will make the drive to Copper Blues next time for a cleaner establishment with better service.
