Get here early, especially if you plan to see a show. I recommend an hour early, and Im not even playing. Ive seen customers wait 30 minutes after a show has started so that customers can file out and they can take their seats. This place gets busy and for good reason. The comics, whether amateur or not, are so fly that youll be amazed by their acts and confidence and trash talks. Although these comedians try to be covert in their mockeries, its quite obvious who their pointing out and youll be marveling at your own cleverness for figuring it out.

Comedians were great! Took care of the hecklers in the crowd and made the show even better. Best $10 I’ve spent in a long time. Will definitely go back when I have the opportunity.

The staff was very friendly and the drinks were good. The comedy cellar was fun. Ill be back!

Great comedians. Wonderful place for a date night. Loved the aesthetic of a basement inside a bar!

I went to see MO Alexander and was not disappointed. I had some difficulty finding the main entrance but the bar staff were very helpful and pointed me in the right direction. I also really liked the buffalo wings.

A good location in Minneapolis for comedy. An okay selection of beer. They need to update the food menu from 80s bar food.

Great spot to see some new comics, works in progress and some straight bombs. Tommy Bayer slays

Its a very small space. At first I thought it would be a little cramped, but it turned out to be a great venue for comedy. It was a little warm, but not too bad (and it was really hot outside when I went). The main bar upstairs is spacious and cool with big windows looking out onto the public square area.Theres no such thing as a bad seat in the comedy club area: If youre in the back, youre about 30 feet from the stage, and the small audience size gives you the feeling that youre out with friends. You actually get to know your fellow audience members as they interact with the comedians. Its really fun!The service was fantastic. Youre never left with an empty glass, the staff is super friendly, and they have a nice on-tap selection.Its also a nice location. Really easy to get to from the freeway and with several restaurants, pubs, and a brewery nearby (like within 100 feet).Highly recommended!

Really fun place. Stand up had some great personalities. One part was dumb was when there was a bad comedian they would just pick on an audience member baiting them to response. If the audience member did reply, theyd spend the rest of their act trying to get the audience member kick out and the club would try to comply. If the comedians were good or at least respectful, it was a ball.

First time visit to this comedy club. I was surprised at how small the area was, but it was ok. It made for a more intimate setting with some comedic crowd interactions.Yes, its in the basement, but it wasnt icky at all. It was clean, the tiny tables were all covered in black linen with a candle on each.We enjoyed the comedians. It was a fun date night.

Get there early for the comedy shows, the basement stage area fills up fast! On the upside, if you cant find a seat you can always head back upstairs for a drinks and some cheese curds

Attended their Friday night open mic. Really high quality 5-min stand up sets. Overall, seems like a really committed and well run establishment.

Let me start by saying I NEVER rate or review businesses, but I cant let this one go. Dont waste your time or money at this club. The environment was dirty, the staff was extremely rude and the comedians were NOT funny. Dont go here expecting to laugh and have a good time. We were told to shut the f*** up. Weve been to several comedy clubs and weve never experienced anything like this. Dont waste your money.. try somewhere else.

Best comedy in Minneapolis! I plan to do my own set at some point :)

A lively bar that boasts a FREE open mic night on Saturdays. Some comedians were good, some were so-so but who am I to complain, it was a free show (Donate a few bucks if you are able to, theyll appreciate it and itll keep them in business!) The food was standard bar food, the drinks were good and my waitress was phenomenal! As I was attending the show she came into the theatre and made sure my drink was refreshed multiple times. There is a paid parking lot which I reccomend if you are not familiar with the city otherwise there is plenty street parking nearby

This place is legit. Makes you feel like your truly underground at a secret place. Great drink prices.

Wouldnt recommend unless you like being personally harassed with the jokes, which were not even funny. We were hit with nationalistic hatred jokes, which were not funny. Bad impression.

Very fun night. Attended the show then stayed for open mic night. Had an amazing time.

I saw Pssy Cntrl here and loved it. Ill definitely be returning to see their show again.

Cozy and comedy club with good acts and fun open mic

Great small, inexpensive venue with super-friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Visit this club for a fun night out seeing the best of the Twin Cities up-and-coming comedic talent.

It was fun. Not much people for a Monday night. Located in the basement of the pub. We got to hear from several comedians for a few minutes each. The last comedian was there for about half an hour.

Me and my husband had such a great time and we will be going back and the food was great and the service was awesome

They had some slayers. I liked my time there and the food and drinks were great. Litty night definitely. Watching repeat jokes later the same evening was different and interesting, but I dont care for that.

Pretty great spot for open mic nights. Might be slightly packed, so good come early for good seats

The place is hard to find. I went to open mic night, so its pretty much a hit or miss and that was definitely what it was the night I went. The service was nice, though.

I used to love going to the comedy show but last night the warm up comedian were horrible. Making fun of christian people praying and abortion isn’t funny at all! The emcee was terrible her voice hurt my ears! Bummed because I love to laugh but I won’t be back...

Awesome comedy and solid sports bar. Very impressed.

Such a gross place. If you like to be scolded and treated like a child you will love it.Not funny, rude staff and comedians that shouldnt call themselves comedians.Dont waste your time!!!!!!

The bar upstairs seemed chill. The comedy club on the other hand didnt really seem like it was a comedy club. Here for an open mic night and any joke told, that the hosts found....in bad taste I guess?...immediately got the flashing red light. Equal time for everyone should be a thing. Good luck with your comedy club.

Not funny. I felt like the comedians werent as real or raw as I wanted and they were kind of being politically correct trying not to offend anyone in the crowd. It wouldve helped if the google maps listing made it easier to find the place. By the time I got in there, I was 10 minutes late so that didnt warm me up for comedy.

The show was great! Greg Coleman did his thing!

Drinks were fine, if not a bit pricey, service was really great, but the comedy was sadly awful. Hopefully just picked a bad night, cool place.

A great show and relaxing environment. Went here on a mini get away with my boyfriend and will definitely plan on returning on our next trip up here!

Had a blast!! The comedians were so so funny and I love how they interact with the audience!!

Interesting area... Cool bar and popcorn.. Need better comedians

We visited this place for a triple feature and had a blast. The place is cozy and the accompanying bar above is great.During the show, we had servers get our orders, the performers were very good, and even the food was actually very good.Once we were done we went upstairs for a couple of drinks and we couldnt have been more satisfied. Were definitely coming back!

Great inexpensive little hole in the wall comedy club. Sometimes super funny, sometimes just OK but good to support up coming comedians.

Super fun comedy show every Friday at 10pm that is donation only. Good mix of first timers and some established comics. Definitely would come back.

Went to the monthly comedy club show. Place was nice, atmosphere was good. Headliner wasnt the best, but the students killed it.

This place is great on a Friday night. Free amateur night. Get there a little early so you dont have to sit in the front row

Get there early!!!!Convenient locationCool vibeNice bar upstairsBusySmallLack of seating

Great place to a great comedy show. The atmosphere is cozy and I feel connected with the preformers every time I see a show here. The open mic is a riot and I love seeing such a wide variety of performs. From first timers, to Comedy veterans. The only downside is the milque toast bro bar you have to walk through to get to the club.

Cozy comedy club atmosphere, friendly bartenders and waitresses, ~$6 drinks.

Went to Fresh Bleats on Thursday, some jokes were funny some jokes were not, but it was all fresh content.

Great place to relax and listen to upcoming comedians while you enjoy good food. Price wise is not to bad, $40 lasted me the whole night, unless your looking to take it further.

Bought tickets online in advance for an 8pm show. We arrived to the show a couple minutes after 8 because we had to park a few blocks away. When we arrived to pickup our tickets they had told us there was no longer any room. They had sold our tickets to seats because we didnt arrive early enough. The show had not even started yet and people were still grabbing drinking and getting situated. I understand that they want a full house, but the tickets were already paid for so they werent out any money. Then when we getting our refund I asked for some kind of receipt, but they gave me nothing. All they did was circle my name on a sheet of paper. Highly disappointed in the policy of this club.

My husband and I decided to try this place out for the first time yesterday. Our major complaint is that their reservation system for the comedy club is a complete fail. The website advises you that you can save money by just leaving them a voicemail that you are coming, and that you would receive a confirmation phone call 90 minutes before the show. Of course, in hindsight, the flaw in this system is obvious: what if they are sold out? Depending on where you are coming from, you will already be on your way. Anyway, we never received a phone call, but we ate dinner and had some beers in the bar upstairs. The only reason I am giving this review 2 stars instead of 1 is that the bartender provided good service, and the salad we had with our pizza was good. (The pizza itself was mediocre at best). Needless to say, by the time we had finished our dinner and went downstairs to the comedy club, the ticket-takers at the door had never heard of us, and the show was sold out. They informed us that we could wait around for 20 minutes to see if all of the other attendees showed up, so we did. Then the ticket-taker told us we needed to wait another 10 minutes before he could let us in, just to be sure that no one else was going to show up. At that point we gave up and left. Adding to our annoyance, we forgot to have our parking validated. So basically we drove downtown in order to pay to park and eat not-great pizza. Was the comedy funny? Who knows? We wont be back to find out. But if you do go here, be sure to pay whatever the extra cost is to purchase the tickets online, rather than trusting that their phone reservation system works.

The bar was forgettable but a nice comedy venue in the basement. Sits about 30 people.

Small, Fun, good time.!

We were pleasantly surprised at the Tuesday (I think) open mic night. The comics handled a TERRIBLE heckler really well.

Terrible, bad service, rude employees! Was asked to not laugh so loud, server forgot one of our drinks, and they didnt even take the drink off the bill. Place is falling apart and at the end of the show one of the comics came out with a bucket and asked for donations to help fix the place up. Tacky! Instead of apologizing for our experience, they kept trying to cover their asses. Been to Acme and Rick Bronsons Comedy clubs many times and always a wonderful show with professional employees. Should of known better then to go to a place Ive never heard of.

Cool room. Friendly server! Laughs! What more do you need?

Nice place, great people and ambiance. They host open mic(stand up comedy) every week, pretty cool

We sat down and were told not to interact with comedian. But he interacted with us first. Not a friendly environment. Second comedian came on and totally cut down Wisconsin. To me cold and very unfriendly. I would give it no stars but not an option. Save your money and stay away.

My wife and I had tater-tots here at a comedy show; the total were standard tots and there were plenty. No complaints there. My wife asked for blue cheese, and they obliged, but charged us 75 cents for a rather meager amount (with no prior mention of the charge, either on the menu or by the waiter).

It was great but needs to be a lot bigger

Awesome place and people.

Comedians were super funny. Service was great and food was good.

For the price you can not go wrong.

Wonderful venue

I usually go for the Friday night open mic comedy show in the basement. The comedy is hit or miss, but the event is always a good time.

Popular for beginner comics they can be hit or miss, but if theyre bad enough its still funny because you can laugh at them instead of at their jokes. Its a good night.

Great atmosphere, good drinks; perfect comedy environment.

Great place to get a drink and watch comedy. Open mic Friday nights.

Usually I feel like basements are dark and scary, this one though is friendly and full of laughter! My perception has been changed, the totchos upstairs probably helped too.

Hilarious comedians for only $12.50. Service was pretty slow because only one waiter though

Small intimate space where comedians can test their materials.

Great comedy poor wait staff

Great comedians

Tiny room with big laughs. Support this venue and these comedians!

Awesome comedy club with free open mic on Friday.
