Open Mic Night

The Globe described the night as “Comedy Hell” when we were upstairs in Somerville’s Union Square. Now we’re two floors down in a basement in Cambridge’s Harvard Square. Under where the first and last Curious George shop died. It’s even better. Enter our comedy world, whether you listen, laugh, bomb, groan, clap or just sip your beverage with a raised eyebrow… We just LOVE it. It’s an Open Mic, but there’s always some pros dropping in to test new material, so it’s unavoidable to have a good time – for free no less. Doors Open 6pm. The heat starts around 7pm.

Fantastic comedians and great venue. We went tonight to see Gary Gulman. He is still hilarious. However, so were the other 5 comedians. The venue was also great. It’s a good crowd setup also drinks and snacks came cold and quick.

Went here recently and had a really good time! The system they have for ordering drinks/food was pretty cool! The comedians had me and my boyfriend laughing the whole time and it was overall and really chill vibe. The drinks were a little pricey but that’s honestly everywhere, they definitely didn’t skimp out on the liquor though! We plan on coming again in the future, super happy to have stumbled across this place.

We have made an arrangement with a local parking garage on Eliot St to give a discount to make it a little quicker and easier to get to us. The entrance is Harvard Square / Elliot St Parking Garage, 20 Elliot St, Cambridge, MA, 02138. It will take 2-3 minutes to walk to us from them. To qualify for discounted parking, you must: • Enter the garage after 5 PM (or anytime on Sunday). Ticket must be dated 5:01 PM or later. • Get your ticket stamped by any of our bar staff • For the first 3 hours, $15 will be discounted $3 to $12 • The maximum of $17 will be discounted $5 to $12. Exceptions are major events like The Head of The Charles or Oktoberfest. Even better, if you eat at The Grafton St Pub, which is on the same block, and they validate your parking, your whole ticket is free.
