While I didn't agree with all the politics of the performers they didn't make their political opinion their entire act. Oh and the seats have cup holders. That said, without tables I think it feels a lil more compact inside than some comedy venues. Great service. They'll even do the Alamo thing where they crouch when taking your order.I don't think it's necessary but I appreciate the extra touch A super nice touch - an opener that gave a sh*t. They did a complete 15-20min and was cooking.

Huge scam to begin with, as not only do you pay to see the show but have to purchase 2 items per person before the show is over. However, that's not the part that drove me absolutely bonkers. Imagine a sold out show and EVERYONE must purchase 2 items per person, have that shit delivered to your respective seat one piece at a time and pay for it (per order). We couldn't see half the show because staff was blocking the view, we couldn't hear the other half because staff was hustling to take orders and secure payment from the guests.

Finally got to try the sushi on the menu (which was decent) but of course the highlight is sake. I also didn't realize they host so many special events here. Love that they advertise on the screen before showtime. Tickets were easy to find and purchase online from Denver Comedy Lounge. Mo was the show host, and she's hilarious. There was definitely a racist old man comic picking on all the Asians in the front row, which I didn't appreciate, but not sure how much of that is a reflection on the venue. Getting wait staff attention throughout the comedy show is easy with the table light. Overall it was a smooth and enjoyable experience!

We came here for a Saturday date night and unfortunately left pretty disappointed…read more I bought tickets in advance for two shows, and having to make two separate purchases was unusual and honestly a little annoying, although the ticket prices themselves were reasonable. When we arrived, the atmosphere was pleasant and we were initially looking forward to the night. I ordered a margarita, but it wasn't very good. The bigger disappointment, though, was the show. The performance felt much more like a high school drama/theater group than the professional improv experience we were expecting. A lot of the jokes fell flat, and much of the show didn't really feel like improv at all. We were genuinely surprised by the experience and disappointed enough that we decided not to stay for the second show, even though we'd already paid for it. There were some positives--the atmosphere was nice and the tickets were reasonably priced--but unfortunately the quality of the performance and drinks made this a disappointing date night for us.

Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.

More importantly, we couldn't get service. We were ignored by every employee working there. It was karaoke night and we really wanted to sing. We put our names in at 10 pm. When it was about 12:30, and the bar had emptied significantly we figured it would be time to sing soon. And then we noticed that the rotation had repeated without us. And then it repeated again. We asked the KJ about it and she told us that somehow there were 75 singers on the list and that we weren't going to be able to sing at all. It's a really small place and I don't think 75 people can even fit in there. (Yes,we tipped. $40 for the two of us) Anyone who's queer can tell when there's a reason for bad service. There was a reason.

Walking up to the place, there were 2 older white guys who were comics or workers?They were smoking their cigs just staring with the weirdest, meanest looks.

He's a young, white guy and was already superbly friendly to the couple in front of me. When I went up to the ticket counter, super confused and anxious, he made the whole experience beyond wholesome. He turned my entire day around. It's crazy how a stranger can do that. Thank you!

We might just leave everything at home or in the car next time. There is a two item minimum for each person, but we ended up with three each.
