My friends and I visited Gingers on a Thursday night for their monthly free comedy show. When you route here you can put in Barley Mash then just head to the back and downstairs to find the Gingers bar. It's a smaller, somewhat classy dive bar with a handful of bar seats, community tables, and couches facing the "stage." Their cocktail menu is based of things from Anchorman, including drinks like Stay Classy and Human Torch.
If you are attending something downstairs at Gingers you cannot order food from upstairs while down there. You can either order flatbreads downstairs or go up to Barley Mash, order food, close out and bring it downstairs with you. We ordered flatbreads! I had the pesto chicken accompanied by a cucumber mint mojito. It was marvelous and oh so filling. The bartender was pretty rude, very short with everyone and had little personality, but the waitress working throughout the comedy show was sweet and attentive. The comedy show host had good spirit too, performing the opening act and giving little did bits between performers to engage the crowd. So average 4 stars for staff over all.
The comedy show itself had 5 acts and was well worth the visit! 3 out of the 5 acts were absolutely hilarious and one name Alec Parents had us crying laughing not even half way through. It was a really great show and I could tell the host put a lot work into it so I give them props for making it memorable. I would definitely come back for activity like such here again. I don't recommend driving/parking as you will most likely be drinking and Gingers is located in the heart of downtown so good luck finding a spot. Check Facebook for future events to come. read more
