Description

Tucked into Old Town, this club maintains an intimate setting that allows for a direct connection with the performers without feeling cramped. The nightly schedule moves between national touring headliners and local stand-up talent, occasionally branching into formats like Roast Battles. While the space is well-regarded for its atmosphere and staff, visitors often treat the available food as a light snack rather than a full meal. The environment remains strictly 21+ with a casual dress code and a two-drink minimum.
