    This was my first time coming here. I saw a video on instagram of a comedy club opening up in Detroit and I knew I HAD TO GO. I absolutely love comedy clubs. The staff was so kind and friendly and the drinks were actually strong and so tasty. I got a double gin and tonic which tasted strong which is what I wanted and a French 75 which I was amazed they were able to make at a comedy club- BUT we must remember they are a comedy BAR not a comedy club - so a little bit of a twist. All of the comedians were hilarious and I loved their energy. The bar is in the basement of the Norwood theatre - I will say it's in the BACK of the Norwood theatre and we had some difficulty walking to the back to actually find the entrance. But that's all of part of the experience I suppose. Such a fun time, good energy, and it being in the basement of a theatre made it so much more authentic. Will 100% be coming back!

    It's such a good intimate setting! The mics are great! The drinks are good and we were able to order Supinos pizza! The only thing that would be better is the pizza being hot! Oh park in the back because the entrance is in the back! Would go again anytime!

    We arrived a half an hour before they open the doors which I would advise if you plan on coming here. The entrance is located in the back of the club which there was paid parking. We waited in line until they opened the doors and then proceeded to head downstairs to the basement of the club. It's small and intimate but we had a good time. The drinks were good and they sell sliced pizza. Great time for a date or night out with friends.

    Small and quaint. Haven't seen the comedians yet but we will see. Place only seats maybe 100 people.

    I had a great time seeing Ian Fidance while he was on tour. Stage and seating have an intimate…read morefeeling. Only suggestions for improvement: the HVAC system or a fan in the ceiling makes a ticking sound. Really noticable when the comedian is silent. The drinks could have been better. Ordered two gin gimlets Could barely finish one and placed the second one on the bar. Suspect person poured sour mix in my drink instead of lime. Waste of money, but I was happy to see Ian.

    Loved the comedian we bought tickets to see, but communication with this venue is terrible. Went to…read morethe box office two hours before a Friday show to purchase tickets. They don't answer the phone but say that's when they're open. No one was there at the desk. A staff member at Hockeytown told me they might be there an 1.5 before a show. So I kill another hour to be safe and come back. Wait in line, buy two tickets for a show in a few weeks. I'm a former customer on their email list. Give my email and they promise to email the tickets. It's a week before the show and I realize I have no tickets. Call the main line, email twice. No response until two days before. They finally send my tickets (no they weren't in my spam folder). I see all the service charges and processing fee bs that I'd get if I bought them online instead of driving there to save the fees. In fact, the charge was MORE than if I had purchased online. I've seen two shows here and like the intimate venue, but won't purchase tickets again until they get rid of their junk fees for in person purchases. In addition, the parking lot nextdoor that's literally connected charges $45 to park for an hour show. More than the cost of your ticket. No thanks.

    Been here many times for different concerts and it's a HIT every time!…read more From the main floor, to high top seats by the sound booth, to balcony seats, there isn't a bad spot here to experience your favorite band or act. Many show up early and start the line that winds around the building so be ready for that. Rain, shine or snow! Haven't ordered any food here through all the concerts we've been to but have purchased a few cocktails and beers and the prices are reasonable for a venue like this. Cheaper than an arena that's for sure! The lights and sometimes the pyro that is allowed here is top notch. Mixed with the sound that rocks your chest (depending on the band of course), you get your money's worth. All of the ones we've been too have "gone over the specified time". Whatever that means, we're enjoying it. Whether it's the FIlmore's doing or the band's doing by feeding off of the crowd's energy, we'll always stick around longer!

We started out with Happy Hour at The Fillmore Detroit Bar for food and a refreshing drink. The bar is the former State Bar. It is a cool place to chill and the service was very quick. I had a Watermelon Lemonade Riffresher, chicken tenders and fries. It was an excellent venue for us to hear from author Kamala Harris to talk about her new book, 107 Days. She was delivering a message on her short road to the presidential campaign and the state of affairs today that have many U. S. Citizens feeling emotionally hijacked....but I digress. This was a great opportunity to experience in such a beautiful venue. It truly reminded me of a more intimate Fox Theatre.
