We went on a Sunday night, The Comics Showcase was good. Alot of aspiring Comic talent, huge potential! The waitstaff was on point, had no issues. Fast and accommodating, they earned a big tip.
The house crew, door guy that wouldn't let ppl in to use the restroom until doors, not cool.
My friend left his phone, went back to get & they wouldn't let him in. Went back the next day it was gone, despite pinging in the club.
Just why? The staff, dude with the Mohawk, dick for no reason.

Ended up very very expensive, minimal two drinks and food don’t count. the comics aren’t that funny to me, I keep hearing a lot of old fashioned dirty jokes from dudes. CTT was much better.

Comedians were great!
2 drink minimum? Hate being forced to buy drinks (non alcohol counts but still hate it)

The comics were good but definitely the most expensive free tickets I've ever received - spent $50 for two regular beers. :-/

Nice venue. We sat at the front.
The implementation of their “2 drink minimum” is ridiculous and poorly thought out.

You have to buy 2 “drinks” per ticket. Their alcohol is like $18. So you are paying like $40 on top of a $30 ticket per person if you want alcohol.

But they also sell food and they also sell soda for $7. However if you’re hungry, the food won’t count towards this minimum. But buying water or sprite for $7 counts towards the minimum. ???

It doesn’t make any sense one way or another. There are several ways to implement this idea if they want more money.

You could increase the base price of the ticket and say it comes with 2 drinks included. You could say, you have to buy at least $20 from the bar/restaurant. Or you could make the alcohol cheaper so that people can get drunk and not have to consider getting soda to meet a minimum.

Also the soda is cheaper than a bottle of water.

I ended up paying $180 for a beer, a cocktail, chicken tenders, and two sodas plus 20% tip- on top of $60 for tickets.

It feels bad. The answer is not for me to “just order 4 sodas”. Figure it out.

The management is pretentious but the food was good for what it is. It was on the healthy side. I didn't like the first two comedians but the headliner kind of made it worth it almost. The comedian was a famous comedian and he was still just as funny as on television.
But the management has to let go of that petty stuff. I don't feel it's the actual staff workers I feel like it's being enforced by some invisible entity and it feels evil
I would also like to know there is no wheelchair access if you have a bag orthopedic issues please be prepared to walk up at least three flights of stairs there's also a very long walk. They also make you stand in line for a very long time

Watched a comic here, had a great time. I know I had trouble finding out the answer to this, so wanted to share the difference in seating tickets for those who wanted to know. First off, seating is pretty much first come first serve (open seating). However, the difference between Standard Ticket General Admission and the Preferred Seating General Admission tickets are that the Preferred Seating (while still not assigned) is for the first row tables right in front of the stage + the two left and right podium seating area. That's pretty much it, really. I bought the Standard ticket and managed to sit in the second row, you just need to be there early to make sure you get good seats.
