I got tickets to attend the late show and it was really nice. I know Comedy Shows can be a hows can be hit or miss. However, we decided to chance it for a night out. The COVID precautions are in place with plexi barriers and masks. The set up is a layout that doesn't hinder your view of the stage. The also have booths and the place is split level. Attendees have a choice of picking their seats. Now the reason I don't give then 5 stars is the two drink minimum rule that I was prepared to challenged. I can only drink so fast in a modest 2 hour period. Their cocktails are somewhat pricey but, I get it they have to make money because I am sure they must pay the comedien some portion. If you want the big names or even up and coming acts you have to pay. The selections included virgin cocktails and there was also food on the menu with incentives which included passes for future shows. So that's we thought was a good deal. The staff was courteous and efficient in their handling of orders and checkout. Definatley worth a tip. The facility was maintained and clean. One just has to remember how they make their money. All in all plan on spending about 30 to 40 on drinks with a tip. If yiu are eating then double up on that. This ia great date night spot. We saw alot of couples and celebratory groups. The age was varied and so was the dress style. Very diverse mix of people who really came to laugh. We will definatley go again.
