    This review has nothing to do with the show itself because it was very funny. Thanks Corey B. This review is about the facility itself. They need to make some changes. Perhaps more time between the shows and being honest and real about times. Doors open at 7:45 for a show at 8:30. Fortunately we were there early and in the beginning of the line but the line was looooongggg!!!!!! I would hate for it to be cold or raining. The doors did not open at 7:45. We were seated at a table for 4. I felt like everyone at our table was on a United flight in seat 34B. It was cramped!!!!!! Definitely not enough room. Sardines. And the bathrooms are a long way away. Not very handicapped accessible. Fortunately we had no problems with food or drinks. Service was good. The food is what you would expect. Fries.....kind of soggy and limp. And we got the nachos. Would I l go back? Yes....if there was a comedian I really wanted to see. I would go way early and realize that I am there for the comedian not the food, seating or service or drinks.

    This was a huge mistake. As soon as this one night show was announced I bought tickets. The comedians in the Stone Cold and the Jackal Show were actors I watch regularly on a television series. What fun it would be to see them do a live comedy show where they play very serious characters. It was distressing when my skin cancer surgery was scheduled for the day before the Funny Bone show. Knowing my son was coming for the surgery I bought a ticket for him knowing he would be able to keep me safe. That wasn't the case due to the business's lack of preparation for an almost sold out show at a larger venue. The new location is a beautiful large space, much improved from their previous location overlooking the plaza at Town Center. The Pembroke Square space, just across Virginia Beach Boulevard from the old location, has a spacious, large seating area. There isn't a bad seat in the house unless there's a large head blocking your view. Our table for four was on a wide aisle with great leg space. The big problem came from the fact that the club hadn't planned well for or adjusted to handling a full house in the much larger venue. It was obvious when we arrived early to find a long line for their valet parking staffed by only two employees. I'm not sure what my son told them when he walked from the vehicle to the valet stand. It must have been an explanation of my medical condition because an extremely nice attendant shortly came to my vehicle and told us he would take us now. I'm not sure whether that turned out to be a good or bad thing. There was an extremely long line in cold blowing wind with no attention at all paid to assist handicapped people. My son held onto my arm trying to protect my hand. In the line in front of our party I saw a woman using a walker and another in a wheelchair. Not good! It was such a relief to finally get inside. Our server came promptly to take our food order. It was a typical menu similar to Cinema Cafes accessed by a QR code posted on the table. I had checked it ahead of time on line to find finger food that I could eat with my left hand, since the other was immobilized from surgery, The order was taken on a digital device. Everything seemed good......at the time. The problem was that the food never came. As the time passed both the tables around me & I started to question our server, who was busy running the charge cards for the people across the aisle. Just before the show ended the man at the table next to mine told our server to cancel his food order, After the show ended my server came to the table, apologized & said the soft drinks we had received were comped. The poor man at the next table asked me "Does this mean I don't have to pay for drinks either?" It was total confusion, To make things worse the show was bad. One of the actors was funny. The other should stick to his TV role. The end was excruciatingly bad. They asked for words from the audience, which they plugged into what was supposed to be a funny script, but wasn't. By the end of the debacle my hand was really hurting. My son told me to stay at the table while he navigated the valet line. He left to do that. To our surprise what appeared to be a kitchen employee brought our food order in 5 big takeout boxes, which we couldn't possibly get outside in 2 plastic bags. I texted my son, who then parked my vehicle he had just gotten from valet. He came back inside to take the food, me & my heavy, heavy purse holding the 3 souvenir glasses you had to buy to get the unlimited refills that we didn't need since we got no food. It was a relief to get home, have a late dinner and take 2 pain pills. Needless to say I forgot to take a picture of the food. The sweet potato fries were very good. The chicken strips had WAY too much breading. It will be a long time (if ever) before I go to Funny Bone again.

    Was able to check out the new location watching Felipe Esparza. Well worth the price of tickets. Love that the new location is on one floor and the setup is a bit better, just wish all the tables were like the bar style facing forward. It's uncomfortable watching sideways even after altering your seat and shifting your body. The food wasn't the best and wish they had more fresh items on the menu. Our waiter was not too great. He kept mixing up our drinks with the couple that sat with us and seemed irritated by his own mistake. We had to correct him literally 5 times that the couple didn't get a bottle of wine and that the glass of wine on our bill wasn't ours. He didn't ask if we were done with our food nor if we wanted a box and instead just grabbed it after we paid. I can't recall his name but I think it was Buddy, but was a mid aged African American guy.

    The new location is really nice and easily accessible. I think they should get rid of the $10 valet parking service, as it's not necessary--people just want a quick laugh, drink, and bite to eat. There is plenty of parking nearby within a short walk. The food prices are a bit high, for example, $17 for 8 buffalo wings, $16 for a regular-sized burger, and $11 for gourmet fries. Still, all the food was delicious. I would return to see a well-known comedian but not an up-and-coming one, due to the menu prices. The service was excellent and very attentive. Overall, we had a great time!

    The venue is very nice since the remodel!!! The waitresses were the best and Damon Williams was hysterical ! The food was a miss for me . I ordered the wings and they just did not have much flavor. I will definitely return to the venue to see other comedians thought!

    Ready for some good laughs :)

    Nice comedy spot. Pretty good comedians that I've seen so far. It's nothing worse than seeing comedians that don't even make you crack a smile. Tickets are reasonably priced. Seating is arranged by the club. It's four to a table. Seating is pretty close so get to know your neighbor lol. Drinks were good. We didn't order any food. So can't comment on that. We enjoyed the show even though it started 45 minutes late. would be nice to start on time. I still would attend another show when in the area. There's plenty of parking available. We parked in the parking lot up the street. It was free.

    Just a couple of friends getting together and having a night out. We went out to dinner and went to funny bone after... It was easy getting in, the waitress were great... Fast, quick, accurate... It's not anything fancy, but you aren't there for the easy the building looks.. Just to enjoy the show.

    I've been to the Funny Bone quite a few times and every time has been an enjoyable experience so when I saw the advertisements for Guy Torry, I definitely wanted to see him. Thankfully, I'm on their emailing list and was able to get the tickets for a discounted price. Once we arrived for the 7:30pm show, we waited in a very brief line before being seated. The menus are within the QR Codes on the tables so once we scanned the code, we were able to view what items we wanted. We decided to do burgers and margaritas while we enjoyed the show. I chose the Fire Burger which was absolutely amazing (highly recommend) and the drinks were great as well. The opening comedians were pretty funny and Guy Torry was great, we were laughing the entire time. Unfortunately, the area we were sitting in had very close seating so the waiters continuously apologized for bumping our tables/chairs as they were bringing out food. The area was very dark as well, so it made it hard for them to see tables and we even struggled with seeing our food when we received it. If that area could be a little more lit, I'm sure it would help the waiters greatly. Needless to say, the drinks and food were great so I recommend checking out the Funny Bone if you are looking for a good, comedy show.

    Funny Bone VB will always be a staple date night for my husband and I. We love this place they always send out deals we got $1 tickets this past Friday to see Tony Roberts the show was amazing we laughed so hard! The only take an away is the seats are always so close together sometimes can be annoying! The food,service, and drinks are always great! We love our souvenir glass cups we always get!

We came…read morein on a busy Saturday afternoon, and even with the crowds, the staff kept everything running smoothly. First off, this place is HUGE. There's truly something for everyone. We started at the bowling alley (our main event), and the lanes were clean, the scoring system was intuitive, and the party host made sure our group was set up and having fun. Despite a lot of guests bowling at once, wait times were reasonable and the lanes had comfortable seating areas for everyone to relax between turns. Apex has a gigantic arcade, axe throwing, bumper cars, an immersive dark ride, escape rooms, high-speed go-kart racing, Hologate VR, laser tag, mini golf, pool tables, a ropes course, and even sports simulators! If you can't find something you enjoy here, it probably doesn't exist. Everything was well-maintained, and the staff at each attraction were friendly and helpful, making sure everyone knew how to play and was having a good time. Food and drinks definitely exceeded my expectations for an entertainment venue. The bars are fully stocked, and the food menu ranges from classic favorites to more upscale options like pizza, burgers, wings, and salads were all fresh and tasty. Our server was attentive, had great recommendations, and was super quick with drink and food orders, which made our party even more enjoyable.

Our only issue was when we went to the floor with the escape room to purchase tickets the person who helped us let us know what time the next escape and axe throwing session were and then we asked if we could do the minigolf course before the escape room. She said yes and charged us for it. Originally we had asked for 2 separate checks since we were with friends. But she just did it on one check and split the cost. She gave us only on receipt for it. When we went to the mini golf course there was a wait of about 8-9 people just for the first hole because of how over filled it was with kids. Kids just running around everywhere. We went back and just asked for a refund for the mini golf and we would just wait for the escape room since we didn't realize it was that packed with kids in there. We only had 25 minutes to kill and the first hole alone would take us those 25 minutes. The same person did the refund BUT she didn't tell us it would not be a refund but put it on two apex gift cards to use as credit....... She did not communicate this to us at all. She just said here you go and handed us those cards. I asked what is this and she said your refund.... That is not a refund that's like store credit. And we wouldn't have minded that if she just communicated it was non refundable.

We were originally assigned to a table with only bar stools, but asked to be moved to a table with actual regular chairs. At first, one staff member seemed like it was an "undoable" task until I spoke with a different person, the man who led our painting class, who easily said it was no problem. That was a little weird tho. Took us a min to get started, not sure what the hold up was. Once we began, I feel like our instructor went at a decent pace and explained directions thoroughly throughout the night. As the night went on, there was a staff member who consistently went around all night collecting trash and telling everyone their painting was "beautiful" and "nice." This made all of us attendees laugh because we all felt our paintings were actually looking crazy lol. Had the option to order food and drinks directly at the bar or to scan a QR code attached to our easels and order from our phones. We didn't get any food because we had dinner plans, but from what I saw other people order, the food looked pretty decent. I did try a drink, the White Peach Sangria (8/10) it was decently sweet and refreshing. I can see myself going back for another painting class. We did the individual paintings side of the building, but on the other side, the easels are coupled together for the paintings to be "connected" so I think we'll do that painting style next time.

And this was definitely beginner/advanced class but definitely a good start to those that want to try to look what masterpiece you can make. They do recommend you getting there the time the bar/kitchen opens to get time to order food and drinks .The service was good and the food and drinks were good I was recommended to try there pepperoni flatbread and that was honestly a good piece as well as there drinks are nice and light and not to heavy on you a perfect way to just unwind and let them you guide throughout the night. They do offer paint your pet might do that for our pet and. I did see a piece on the wall that I want to do that is happening tomorrow. And I did like the way they showcase Each of the painting so you can see it in person for the first time or when you visit you can see what each painting they're doing for that month. If you are first timer or pro all welcome here and I would come back again for another painting it was definitely a great time. Perfect way to start the new year to make artwork I did rebook for an afternoon and want to check out both day and night and for day it's all ages and night depending on what the event is.

Our server was Nathan and he was friendly and accommodating!! I like the amount of happy hour options compared to some other restaurants with just a few. We got burger sliders with fries, calamari, poke nachos, and chicken lettuce wraps. The calamari was ok but it was some very tough ones to chew and the portion was small. The tartar sauce that came with it was good and a little spicy. The poke nachos were decent, but I'm not a raw girly to often, so I'd definitely ask if it could be seared. I put it in the air fryer at home, and it was pretty good. My daughter enjoyed it!! The lettuce wraps were just ok, the chicken was kinda rubbery and chewy. The wonton shell was delicious though and the sauce was good. My sliders were supposed to be all the way with lettuce, tomato, onions, and secret sauce. But when they came to the table they were plain with no sauce. I started to eat and about 5 minutes later the food runner brought my correct order. They said they gave me the table next to ours food. So the waiter came back to take it back, and I asked if they'd throw it away? He said yes! Which kinda bothered me. I asked since it was going in the garbage and it wasn't my mistake, could I keep it. He said the manager wouldn't allow it. With inflation why would the manager rather trash perfectly good food? It makes me nervous when restaurants take food back. If it's sat down on a table it shouldn't be returned, just take the loss, because how do I know your not going to replace it and serve it to someone else. I'm not a fan of that!! I'm not accusing them of doing that, but that's the thoughts that run through my mind in situations like that. The table was spacious at the booths and it was clean inside. There's street and garage parking. We went on a good day when it wasn't a wait for a table. The hostess was very nice. She was cheerful and engaging! I'd go back to try other happy hour dishes. Check them out!!
