We love a good comedy show! There was quite the lineup of comedians coming to town -- as seen on…read morethe screen that was flipping through upcoming acts before the openers took the stage. Since there was an earlier show before ours, that meant the two shows were back to back, and we had to first wait for the earlier show to get out. That pushed us back about 40 minutes. The line in the lobby was a wooooorm. Once finally seated, there were 3 openers! All hilarious and entertaining, but that meant the main act didn't even come on until 11:45pm for a 10pm show. The crowd was engaged though! The crowd was high energy, just a pretty late start to it all.

Not sure if I'll be back in the future…read more I have seen a few shows here and always had a nice time. But the last time I went, I was less than impressed with the service that I received. Their appetizers are movie theater snacks; almost the same price but half the portion. My husband and I finished the bag in a few handfuls. Not worth it imo, but not a dealbreaker. I also ordered a cocktail that comes with rum (per the menu) and it was made with tequila. It was not a big deal - mistakes happen. But I don't like tequila and it was $18. I want to enjoy what I paid for. So, I politely asked the waiter if I could have it remade. He could've simply said no, I would've taken the L, but instead, he got snooty with me, as if I were insulting him and the bartender for pointing out the error. At first, he said "Well, did you order it with rum?" To which, I said no because the menu states it comes with rum. Why would I specify? He said, "Are you sure you ordered the right thing?" I literally pointed to the menu when ordering it and he echoed it back to me. So yes, I ordered the right drink. Then, he said, "Have you tried drinking it anyway?" I did not answer, so he continued, "I don't know what you expect me to do because the bartender knows what he's doing. I'm absolutely sure that it was rum. You probably just THINK it's tequila. If you want to add rum, you can, but you'll have to pay for it." My husband cuts in and asks if I could just have something else, and the waiter said, "if you want a different drink, you would have to pay for that too." So, I told him "in that case, never mind, I'll just power through it." Which seemed to annoy him? He said fine, and walked away, only to come back a few minutes later and say, "Are we remaking your drink or what?" Maybe it was because he couldn't demand a tip outta me again but didn't he just tell me that I couldn't have it remade and I should just drink it anyway? Maybe the server was having a bad night, but it says a lot about the business when staff is talking down to customers instead of owning mistakes when they happen. I'm also sure your bartender is very knowledgeable, but everyone makes mistakes, and you don't have to serve alcohol to know the difference between rum and tequila. You just need tastebuds ‍
