We saw David Nihill perform and he was fantastic. The club is downstairs, great vibes, adorable hostess. Our waiter was quite rude, condescending and never brought us our food order. Go to the club, don’t sit in Rob’s section. LOL

I walked in here with a friend randomly on a Saturday night and it was a lot of fun to see local comedians putting on great sets. Definitely a hidden gem in the city and I’d encourage anyone in the area to check it out.
