When to come

We're open Tuesday–Saturday — closed Sundays and Mondays. Arrive 15 minutes before doors, and check the show you're going to for the exact time. See what's on.

Is there a drink minimum?

Almost never. If a show carries an item minimum it says so on that show's page before you buy. Otherwise sit down and order nothing — nobody's going to say a word.

How long is the show?

About 75 minutes downstairs. Starts on time. Then everybody comes back up to the bar.

Is there an age restriction?

No. It's a restaurant, not a bar — no minimum age. Bring ID if you're ordering anything from the bar.

The room's downstairs — we are not currently accessible :(

Due to venue limitations, all entrances to this space are only accessible via stairs.

Is it all clean comedy?

Some shows are marked "Clean" on the calendar — those stay clean. Outside of those, there's no restriction on content.

Will I get picked on if I sit up front?

It's possible, especially on crowd work nights or if you decide to talk during the comedy show. Nobody will drag you on stage.
