Family friendly comedy Club?

OK, check this out. We were in Times Square. I know, I hate the neighborhood too! But my kids were dying to see Lillte Mermaid. A buddy said, go to the 1/2 price ticket place. Great. He never said Little...

3 of 5 stars. My first impression of this club was, "Wow, this place is a dump!". The decor (or lack thereof) downstairs was that of a dank, dark basement birthday party when I was growing up. If you grew up in the…

Yelp.com Review - by Faithy L.

3 of 5 stars. I'm with Grace, I was totally there from the Yelper hookup to see Amy Anderson. And the reason why the place looked like a strip club is because it was a stripclub. The host of the show mentioned the…
