There's nothing quite like the Backline for comedy. Nice venue with an equally nice bar. Lots of cocktails and Little House cocktails on the bar menu. Good Manhattans. Comedy is improv so always fresh. Stand-up open mic night is crazy! Affordable and locally sourced.
First time going, ordered drinks on their QR code at the table for drinks to be delivered. Ordered at the beginning of the show. Never received. At the end of the show told bartender and they said if you ordered through QR code we would have delivered. Your drinks have been sitting here. Told her we did order through QR code. Got my money back but probably won't go back because of that experience.
