Parking was free after hours on Saturday & Sunday. I would recommend just Uber if you don't want the hassle. We followed the signs to the side entrance and walked downstairs to the venue. We were greeted and they checked my name for the tickets. Seating is first come first serve and we arrived early enough to get good seats. Venue is small, but comfortable. You don't feel like you are sitting in top of each other. They have a two drink minimum and light snacks, so plan for dinner before or after. There were a few Taco & Dim Sum places in walking distance. Waitress was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back if I'm in the area. Enter Freely, they've been approved:)

They have some snacks available and plenty of drinks. The entrance is in the alleyway and wasn't too difficult to find. It was a decent sized space, but I can imagine it can get crowded for more popular comedians. They had one person managing all the drink orders and she was working hard! The drinks themselves were decent. Overall a good venue for a night of comedy. There's plenty of parking in the nearby parking lot (much cheaper than Chicago public parking).

You should purchase tickets in advance, which I did online. There were two shows the night I went, one at 7 and again at 9. And there's a 2 item minimum (pretty standard for comedy clubs). I had a great time and I was there totally solo. Sara, my server, took good care of me, And when I had my small deep dish pizza come to my table, my life was complete!! Fine Chicago entertainment, and I didn't even have to uber anywhere.

I decided to go with The Comedy Bar and buying tickets was easy through Eventbrite. It was about $30 per ticket and they have a 2-item minimum buy at the venue (pretty typical for comedy clubs). We arrived about 15 minutes before the show and walked up several flights of stairs to the venue. It was pretty empty when we got there and we were asked if we wanted the first or second row... we opted for a table further back. The drink menu is varied and there's a full bar so we got a couple of their specialty cocktails ($16), which were fine. As with any stand up show, the comedy varied and some sets hit better than others. They had several comedians do short sets and then did a late night talk show-style interview after for some of them. I think it would have been more fun with a bigger/different crowd, but overall a good way to have some laughs. It was a fun evening and I'm glad we went.

And they deliver. We've been here a few times since November of 2025 and I even got to see Kevin Bozeman there (if you haven't caught his act, check him out: https://www.youtube.com/@TheeKevinBozeman). Sure, there's a two ITEM minimum. Get the pretzel and a drink, or two drinks, or whatever, I don't care what you get. You're there to laugh. The servers are attentive and the seating is comfortable (despite being a bit crammed in). The warm ups have been great. They are very interactive with lots of crowd work. They validate your parking and offer you two free passes if you can show them that you follow them on Instagram. So, free parking and free passes. Seems like a great night out to me. And you get to see some awesome comedy. My only detraction is that you're packed in like sardines, so go early and find a place where you won't feel too packed in. And they let you meet the headliners afterward. I love Zanies in Rosemont!

I've been here a few times over the years. They have a lot of big names that come through. The…read moreparking sucks because it's part of the mall and there are restaurants nearby. I think if they were a stand alone building, the parking would not be as awful. After you park, they have two lines going into the building. One is general admission and the other is VIP. General admission was on the left and VIP was on the right. They are not labeled. VIP just means that you sit closer to the stage. Seats are like first come first serve. Btw when it is busier, they have people sitting in front of you at each table. They fill each table to the max. In general, I would recommend lining up at least 30-40 mins before the show begins, for better seating. After you sit down, you have to order two items per person. We just ordered two drinks each. It's kind of an asinine rule but I guess that's how they make their money. We ordered food in the past. Ever since then, we just grab food nearby before coming. Food was okay here. The drinks are not bad, the glasses are a good size so you can sip on it throughout the show. Service was good, although it could be better. It took awhile to receive our drinks. Depending on the comedian, you can get a free picture or you have to pay for one. Overall, it's like a 3.5 experience but 5 stars for the comedian. Meh, I'll give it 4 stars.

We watched Jr De Guzman and he was so funny I…read moredidn't expect that very thankful that my friend invited me to go to the show we were in the second row table and the ticket was $53 which is super worth it. Parking was in an issue the place is small their stairs but there's also an elevator which I like the fact that it is small because it's more intimate that way and the comedian can actually interact with the audience. We didn't really try the food but there is a two drink minimum or an order of food so we just did two drinks it's a bit pricey so just need to expect that. The service was great the our server was always there checking up on us and asking what we needed so that's also a good thing. Will definitely come back and see more shows here. Happy watching!

Whyyyyy in the world are there only eight reviews here?! Go go go!…read more A good friend of mine suggested a girls night out and found CG's - admittedly, our hopes weren't high, due to the limited Yelp reviews. For the price point ($20 + 2 drinks at the show), we figured, worth a shot! It FAR exceeded expectations! Glenn is the owner, and is extremely hands on. We had a group of four attending, and wanted to ensure we sat together. We called and gave the names of the girls, and come Friday morning, Glenn realized that one of our party members hadn't purchased her tickets yet. He personally called us back to let us know that tickets were limited, and to get her ticket ASAP. Talk about hospitality. But it didn't stop there! The night of the show, we had another friend become available and want to attend - unfortunately, tickets were sold out. We called and called, but it was 20 minutes to doors open, and we figured we were SOL. Right as doors opened (as we were about to leave), Glenn called us, explaining that it was likely there'd be a cancellation, but explained he couldn't guarantee anything. He was extremely respectful and understanding. Our friend decided to give it a go, and when we arrived, who was at the door - but Glenn! Once he realized who we were, he said he'd make it work regardless, and found us an extra chair. He catered to our party so well, and was so genuinely sweet. Our server was fantastic and attentive, and drinks came out quickly. All their service was great. We ordered mixed drinks and the pours were generous! The shows themselves were also laugh-so-hard-you're-crying funny! There were two opening acts and then the headliner, which was another welcome surprise, as we didn't realize there'd be additional acts. This is a small, intimate venue so you'll be close to your neighbors, but we absolutely loved the show and every employee we dealt with. Can't wait to recommend this to friends and return!

We had to silence our phones and make sure to buy 2 drinks each. We were a little late for the opener was performing. They sat us at the middle front table. I liked the way you light up the menu to get a waitress to come. We each had a tropical cocktail then a seltzer. Comedy was great. We were at the later show. At the end, we were talking to one of the comedians and the workers kept pushing us out which was a little rude. That's the reason for minus 1 star. Other than that we had a great experience.

Parking spaces are limited but a neighbor business ( The wreck room) allows parking in their lot. And the venue just added slot machines.
