Went to a Sunday Beat show with my wife and it was a lot of fun. There was a good rotation of comedians and they were all funny. Would definitely go again next time we’re in town.

The Lodge has great, affordable shows in an intimate setting, a charming lounge area, and bright, enthusiastic staff that make every night there a blast. My partner also took their stand-up classes and loved the experience; we have made the Brews and Bad Movies show a monthly event on our calendar.
