    This place is very intimate which allows you to interact with the comedian. It's best to get here early to get your preferred seat. There are board games for you to play at your seat before and after the show. You can also give the comedian ideas of things to talk about. There's a small area to get drinks and snacks. I only took a star off because we were under the impression that we can stay for multiple shows if we have a season pass. Apparently the 8:30pm show sells out so we were told we had to leave to make room for the next guests. That was a disappointment because we planned our evening around staying for a second show.

    I have been here a couple of times to catch a midweek comedy show or a spontaneous show on the weekend. This is honestly a hidden gem in Brooklyn. If you buy their tickets in advance on line, you get them at such a decent price. The shows are an hour and a half long with a great set of amateur comedians. I have had my best laughs at this comedy club than at an expensive club in the city. The building itself is not the cleanest and the room where the shows are held is not the nicest but the point is to go here to have a good time. They sell white claws, wines and beers for a good price and snacks such as popcorn to enjoy during the show. If you are ever in the neighborhood, you will not regret checking this place out.

    A local beer? I think.

    First time in this place & it was great. We went out of spontaneity. We went for an 8pm show and after it ended the host lets you know that you can stay for the next show if you want to. But you have to buy a drink from the bar. The comedians were ranging from 80% funny to 110% funny. The host was really good about cheering on whoever was on stage and letting the crowd know laughs are encouraged and claps are supported.

    Amazing cozy little place for stand-up comedy. The Tiny Cupboard seats 60-80, and they have multiple shows every night. The comedians are pretty funny and do lots of crowd-work, which I enjoy. Just be mindful that the late shows (ie. 10 PM) don't have many people, so please show some extra love for those people!

    We went for my mother's birthday. The jokes were hilarious when they were, and laughable when they weren't so funny. The wines were good, and we got comfortable seating arriving five minutes late, but the house was full and we had a great night. Definitely coming back!

    Cool rooftop venue. Comics were very entertaining.. strangely the 5 or 6 comics before the headliner were better than the headliner lol but everybody got plenty of laughs out of us! Host was great too. Would love to support again next time i'm in New York!

    Ask the Community - The Tiny Cupboard

    Do you have to be 21+?

    nope-- open to all ages!

    For the rooftop events, do all guests have to show proof of vaccination?

    Hey! Not for the rooftop since it's outdoor. But for indoors we have to start checking proof for at least one shot per government mandate!

    Family owned business with great ideas for a group under 50. The perfect place for a small…read moregatherings. I would say ideal would be 15 to 20, or fewer. Intimate gathering space. The karaoke deejay was amazing and the hostess is great. Quite a lovely team with a great idea. Definitely a great spot. One thing, parking isn't impossible but you may have to walk a block or two. We all lucked up tonight. Most were parked within a block. You get to create your evening; cater, bring a few cupcakes, a little wine....the one thing you don't need is decoration. The place is beautiful on its own. All the best to the owners.

    If you and your friends love karaoke, Lion's Roar is a fun twist on the usual spots…read more It's essentially a private, well-kept apartment where the couple who lives there hosts you for the evening. You have access to the very comfortable living room, full kitchen and fridge, a lovely bathroom, and a backyard for when you need a break from the noise (or to smoke, etc.). You can bring in your own booze and snacks, a crowd of your friends, and sing your little hearts out. Roberto and Zaida are your hosts, and Roberto will act as your karaoke DJ for the evening. You request songs via paper note, and he'll call you up. Their microphones are quality (and there's an electronic sanitizer for safety), the setup is fun and easy, and everyone had a good time when I came through. It's quite loud for a residential building, so the soundproofing on the apartment must be excellent. Make sure you bring a good crowd that actually wants to sing, and you'll have fun.

    Man, I'm surprised by the low ratings. Y'all karaoke-ing with Bruno Mars or something? Geez…read more This was easily the most fun I've had at private karaoke in ages. From the bright, neon, cyberpunk-y decor that reminds me of NYE in Chongqing, to the amazing selection of Asian tunes that cover everything from Hindi to Malay--it was like the UN threw a music festival and every Asian was invited. Plus, how can you not love a room for 15 people costing only $60/hour? And the cost counts as a credit toward food/drink, essentially ensuring free bites and sips for the whole party? Or maybe I'm biased because I FINALLY got to sing Coldplay in Mandarin. Siiiiigh....

    This place has potential. There are things I liked and some I didn't…read more First, the payment policy. I have an issue with being required to pay a tip before the service even starts. They make you pay for the night plus the tip before you can even order food or get instructions on how the night will go. That didn't sit right with me. I spoke to the manager, and they said it's their policy and we couldn't participate until the service fee was paid. I ended up paying because I was with a group and didn't want to mess up the night trying to prove a point, but if I wasn't, I would've left. Second, the food selection is very minimal, and I wasn't a fan of anything I tried. I had fried chicken, fries, and a spring roll. Everything was greasy. Now back to the mandatory service fee. After paying, the only time staff really checked on us was to tell us how much time we had left. If we needed anything, we had to press a button to request service. They didn't come by on their own. So it's hard to justify paying $65 for that level of service. On a positive note, the rooms were nice, and the karaoke part was fun. One suggestion: invest in a better karaoke system. Searching songs on YouTube and finding karaoke versions worked, but it would be a much better experience with a more streamlined and visually appealing setup. The service itself, once we called them, was fine--they were nice, and they even extended our time a little past what we were supposed to have. Would I recommend it? Maybe...if you don't mind paying the service fee upfront and you're not going for the food. If you're hungry, I'd suggest trying a different spot with better food options.
