Perfect setting for a comedy show! Very intimate! No horrible seat. Comics are great! Staff was extremely friendly!
We went as a group of four and had an amazing time. The lineup of comedians was excellent, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what you’d expect from a true New York-style comedy night. The staff was really courteous, and the selection of cocktails and drinks was great. A couple of things to keep in mind: there’s a two-drink minimum, phones are not allowed during the show, and booking well in advance is essential. Also, arriving early to queue can get you better seats closer to the stage—but be ready, that also means a higher chance of being part of the roasting 😂 Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun and different night out!
We had a really fun night here!! The staff is super nice & accommodating. We got in on standby. The place is super cool; cozy & a comfortable place to laugh and enjoy the comedians. They seemed to think they were bombing; but we thought they were hilarious.
Awesome small intimate venue with hilarious talent! I visited twice in a week, once on Super Bowl Sunday with very small crowd. Comedians and waitstaff still delivered to 12 people in the audience! Also two “drink” minimum includes food items and non alcoholic beverages, which was very helpful. I love comedy and the clubs affiliated with the Comedy Cellar in NYC are top notch.
Not only does this place host world class talent, they do so brilliantly. The reservation process is smooth and flawless, even with a party of 6 meeting there separately, there is perfect coordination and communication with the staff so they know who is already inside and what table number. Making things easy and stress-free. The servers inside are also incredibly friendly and caring. I'm absolutely impressed at the staff and how well this venue is run. Hats off to everyone, we had a fun amazing experience.
