    Another great night at the Improv shop. I have to say that over the past couple of years I have visited, this place is really starting to shine. Packed house on a Thursday with gobs of up and coming talent having a royal blast on stage. Tacos looked fire, but didn't get a chance to try the food this time. Loved the spirited vibe. Especially enjoyed seeing the students stretch their legs and get a great reception from the audience. Who knows how this place will evolve over the next several years, but I suspect some gems will emerge in the comedy scene.

    LOVED! So we went here randomly after I found it online. They were just really getting open again since Covid. They did not disappoint I enjoyed the performance and laughed the entire time. I can wait to come back perfect date night or group outing, SO FUN! Keep up the good work!

    Great little venue. I have driven by this 100 times and didn't realize it was there. I took my boys (16 and 18) which I was worried since most places are 21+ but this place allows a younger crowd. They picked improv over stand up but was pleasantly surprised. Boys had a great time and was talking about it all the way home. Can't wait to go back.

    The Improv shop has come a long way. Initially these folks started in bars and basements and now they occupy and run this fine establishment. Obviously parking and for some people, finding it at all can be annoying. It's tucked behind the White Castle and can be difficult to turn into. The bar has Busch, as well as, many other domestic and local craft beer options. They also have a full bar and offer wine as well. I came to see Kenny Deforest, who is so lit. I really really enjoyed the show. I had a Busch in hand, of course. I wish the door to get in the comedy side of the venue weren't so flipping heavy! I came late so it had already been shut. I had recently had surgery and couldn't lift more than 5 pounds so it was a struggle to get in without help. Loved my time here! The space is rad, the folks who work here are kind. I love that the Saint Louis local comedy scene is growing. Cheers, Improv Shop!

    The BF and I stopped in after visiting Little Lucy. He noticed Purple Quarters on our drive through…read morethe Grove and thought it'd be a place I would like. I love that fact that they offer craft cocktails. The bar area is intimate and cozy. Since we just left from practically next door and enjoyed a plethora of cocktails. I couldn't drink any more nor did I want to. I follow them on IG to see what's the latest happenings and cocktail creations. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door with smiling faces. As soon as I walked in the door I was so excited for this game room because it's not typical. It's clean and intimate, like an upscale parlor. The bar is inviting and cute. The games are beyond reasonable. We love ski ball and it's located in the center of the game room against the wall with several attached, so you have to be crammed next to other patrons. Ski ball is only $0.50 a game and if you score high enough it automatically resets to give you another game. Where can you play ski ball this cheap. They also have pin ball games, arcade games, board games and more. We played several games of Connect Four-----CLASSIC. They have comedy night and karaoke in addition to gaming. We absolutely love this spot, can't wait to return.

    We have been here before, but it was a different name/owner…read more They still have a great list of arcade games and always have good pinball machines. Bartender was really nice and told us about their house shot, so we had to try it! Good spot!
