LOL? ROTF LMAO!!! 🤣😂Friday night, we had a great time. 3 comedians were so much fun, and the MC kept it all together and was very entertaining also. As other reviews have said, there is a 2 drink minimum, we got pineapple 🍍 juice with ice. Enjoyed the bucket of 🍿 popcorn, too. They have an impressive wall of alumni pictures. You will see people you recognize. The size is perfect, not too big or small. Sound was good. Easy to be close to the stage. Our server, Zach was very helpful. A fun night out in NYC! I'll be back! Helpful?
I had a fabulous time celebrating my friend’s birthday in a last-minute pinch! They happily accommodated our party of 10 with only a two item minimum per person. The staff was incredible and helpful. The server Joanna deserves a raise, and the podium person was kind and insightful. The general manager, Melanie, is soooo nice and organized. Will DEF be coming back!!
