With four different stages set up, there's a little something for everyone. Observational humor, hilarious stories, and sometimes just plain weird stuff - it's all at Brew Ha-Ha. I did sample a few of the food trucks including a Burger truck and a BBQ truck, which I'll review separately. Soft drinks were only available at one specific stand, which I guess makes sense given this is a beer festival but it did make things inconvenient for a non-drinker like me. My favorite comedian, Chad Daniels, flew in to town from Minneapolis for this event and destroyed the stage under the tunnel. I didn't catch Preacher Lawson's set on the main stage, but he was on last year's America's Got Talent and did well there so I'm sure he was fun to watch. Many of my favorite local comedians took to the various stages and I was able to enjoy sets from some of them like Ran Barnaclo, Anna Mazza, Lee Kimbrell, Grant Stiles, and many more. The weather was perfect, the comedy was funny, and the crowds seemed to be having a great time. It was about as perfect an event as you could ask for!

The comments I got on Monday morning ran from, "Wow, that was a great holiday party", "We had a wonderful time", to...."This was the best holiday party we've been to". Jim did an awesome job in keeping the entertainment moving and would definitely use them again.

I don't see why people wouldn't stay for the second show for a mere $5 more! I do like that there is small stadium seating and higher top chairs in back so you're not staring at heads. My main problem was the lights went out on me 3 times in the bathroom. I walked in after someone, went to unzip, and suddenly darkness. I used my flash light on my phone to try finding a switch and tried pulling on a light string but that wasn't correct. It came back but still went off 2 more times in my should-have-been-a-minute-tinkle. Also, it would be cool if they served alcohol, even if limited, but I did like the prices of soft drinks. I feel like everyone overprices but they do not. Highly recommend for a cheap date night for laughter. Plus there's tons to do in the area before.

We walked into the bar downstairs. Thankfully someone asked what we needed and then they were able to get our show wristbands. We were set and headed to dinner. When we returned after 7:00, there was someone right at the door handing out wristbands. We could have skipped the early drop in. Live and learn. I liked the small venue upstairs and the different chair options. We were early enough we had our choice of seats. I thought the sound was good, but we all had trouble understanding the singing. Of course I figured it was my ears, but after the show everyone admitted they had trouble as well. This seems like a possible limitation of the sound system. That said, the music itself sounded great. The Revival Room has its own bar and two bathrooms, one each outside the doors to the side of the stage. All of this is very convenient. We didn't eat or drink, so no comments on either. I checked the calendar and there's nothing coming up I'd like to see, but I wouldn't think twice about coming here for music.

We were just there for a drink, not to enjoy any live music, so the bar was our destination. The drinks were fairly cheap, and my top shelf mixed drink was only 50 cents more than the well version of the same drink. The indoors still reeked of smoke even though no one was smoking. We decided to enjoy our drinks on the front patio and were able to enjoy the Friday Reds fireworks with a drink in hand. Overall it was a nice ending to our evening.

New and Indie Movie House that brings you back to a time when the movies was an experience!…read more It's small (TWSS). Let's get that out of the way. However, it's unassuming at first look. I actually don't know how many theaters are within Esquire, but there are several. If you're going for your reclining seats, your drink holders, you craft cocktails and beer..... go somewhere else, Yuppie. If you're going for the experience of seeing a movie and soaking it all in, go to the Esquire Theatre. They play Independent, New Run, Foreign and Retro movies primarily. I've even gone and seen Animation Festival Collections. Their selection changes weekly, so visit their website for the latest and greatest. You can purchase tix online, but they also have the old school box office window, with a live person, at the front. Literally a box office! Once you enter, you're greeted by the smell of fresh delicious popcorn. Freshly made and, if you so desire, with REAL butter. Yes.... REAL butter! Not some butter flavored "liquid". They have a modest candy offering along with drinks. But you know what they don't have? Pricing that makes you reconsider choices in your life or having to check in with your financial advisor before you buy a small popcorn and drink. I don't know the prices off the top of my head, but I can say that when I buy a small popcorn and a drink, I don't have the urge to angrily ask the person behind the counter if they "are feel good about what they're doing". Reclining seats? Nope. Drink holder? I don't know, maybe. Stadium style seating? No...you're not at a stadium. Plush comfy cusiony seating? Not a chance. Old school flip-down movie house seats? You got that right! And they are fantastic. Look... I'm not boarding a nine hour international flight. I'm going to see a movie. I'm fine with a regular movie seat. The theaters aren't big either. This isn't a complaint. If I really want to see some highly intense visual masterpiece of a movie, then sure, I might got to one of the "big theater" theaters with their IMAX Dolby-riffic Deluxe 8D Aural Experience to sodomize your senses. But, those usually aren't my jam, and that's just me. I like a good movie. The Clifton area is what it is. It's artsy, quirky, independent and fun. It's a great atmosphere and, in my opinion, The Esquire is the heart of Clifton. The way that way-back-when marquee juts out from the building with it's big bright bulbs ablaze that's telling of what's playing NOW. It's a work of art in itself and always a great experience. Would I go back? Hell yes. It's my first choice for movies that I cannot always find elsewhere. Much of the Esquire's selection doesn't always play at "big box" theaters. Sure, they play some of the first run new movies, but they offer so much more than that. Make a night of it, in Clifton. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance to choose from. Have dinner, maybe check out a few of the independent shops up and down the street and then head to your movie. It will be a great night. Pro-tip: Watch the parking. You can park on the street, but be mindful of the signs. You can use whatever parking app it is (I can't remember) and max out the time. I do believe you can extend it right from the app, should your movie run longer than your parking time limit. There are also various parking lots.
