It is hidden in the back of a burger joint... yeah I know but stick with it... it is a cool space that seats maybe 100 people, has a small stage, but is large with laughter! There is pay to park right across the street. But again it is mall too so get here earlier to get a spot. The cost is well worth the show! My date and I laughed and laughed. I would come g e again and plan to in the near future.

We (group of 4) decided to indulge our craving for improv. I hadn't been in far too long…read more This time they were putting on a play. A quasi-musical. The service was good and funny. Our tickets included a different drink for each act. Four in all. They were served by members of the cast in full costume. The play was an evening showing early in the run. Still working out kinks. Who knew? Good improv hides most "gaffes" but no one cared about the foibles. We had so much fun. We laughed and laughed with the rest of the crowd. Great atmosphere that night. I recommend any type of show there. They have classes too. We're mulling them over. I need courage.

We had free tickets for the 3 pm taping. When you arrive, the check through process can be a bit…read moreover the top but I understand that. My major grip with them is the hospitality. We arrived around 2:30 and was there until 9:00 pm for the taping of 2 shows. Not even a cracker was provided to eat! Cheap, ghetto and classless is what I call it! There is not even a vending machine. I never saw on any correspondence that taping would be that long and nothing to snack on available. Tyler Perry, Steve Harvey and Family Feud bring in toooo much money for not even a small pack of peanut butter crackers, a granola bar or even a 25 cent bag of chips to be served!!! I was totally disgusted and turned off by this because although it was a free taping----you wouldn't be able to do it without a live audience!! A little bit of appreciation for 7-8 hours of your time would have been nice. The staff seemed mean, over worked and underpaid. No smiles other than the production manager who had a curly natural fro ponytail. There was a heavyset black guy with a black winter beanie cap on that told my daughter the Smart Pop popcorn was for people who were there all day.! Well wtf do you call 2-9pm. Then to make matters worst, the staff and family members of the contestants are hot lunches in our faces. It was so classless! Steve Harvey and the hype man were so cool though and really provide for lots of laughs. Steve even left us on a spiritual note. He is definitely a natural comedian and speaker. Now that was a 5 star experience! Just Steve, hypeman, music, and the show itself 5 stars! The production company and the professionalism and hospitality of this place is a 3 and that's being nice. Overall, moving forward I would not recommend spending your precious off day setting around starving all day to see the show. I'll just watch from home but should you happen to read my review and go------ Eat a heavy meal before hand bc these cheap ass folks will not even provide a saltine cracker. If times are that hard they should just stop taping. I went to a few live taping and they at least provide light snacks via vending machine or free lay out. Despicable and changed the way I look at Tyler Perry Studios. Production company needs to get it together. Would never return and don't recommend!

Good amount of seating that gives off a family basement kind of vibe. I'll start with the con: the service here was subpar. We sat in the overflow area and there were tables all around us. The two servers that we saw in the area repeatedly NEVER came to our table to greet us or take our order. My boyfriend ended up having to walk himself to the bar to get a drink and order some food for us. Even once the food came I had to flag her down to get another drink. We were not hidden or hard to see, so that was very disappointing. The comedy show was really good. The comedians were fun and funny. Each one's personality was so different and big and we laughed the whole night. Although good service is huge to me, I'd come back and give it another try because overall I really enjoyed the scene.

I'm a bit preppy and I stick out like a sore thumb here. Most people are tattooed, wearing black, and approaching their AARP card. It's just a lovely subculture, and the bands they book bring it! You might be turned off by the cover, but it's worth it. More times than not, I'm watching someone punk out on stage in their 60s. The drinks are plain but the service is top notch. Mae and Hillary won't let you go thirsty. Let your eye wander and you might see a drag pig or stumble into the Elvis shrine. Bottom line -- if you're down for a little weird and like the punk scene, this is your go-to. We love you, Star Bar!

Interesting neighberhood with plenty of pre- and/or post- dining or drinking options. Concessions/drinks high as they are at most such venues. Clean restrooms, friendly staff. I'd definitely see another show here. I think this type of venue is best for a certain type of show--for more active shows where one might want to dance or otherwise engage a venue like The Eastern is more fitting, but for a show where you're more of a spectator absorbing the music being played this one works very well.
