A fun venue tucked away in Gowanus. Came here for a show and the audience was super chill, it was great to be so close to the performer and have them engage with the audience. The drinks were standard for a dive bar, they did accept card but the system was down so it’s worth bringing cash as a back up. I also saw they served pizzas on site, not sure if they make them fresh or if they’re supplied elsewhere / reheated (as they have a big oven in the lobby), but it’s something else they offer.

Really fun time, a lot of laughs! I missed the first twenty minutes of the show because of my obsessive compulsive trying to find the bell housed here. I eventually realized the name is an allusion to the bell jar, duh! I pulled up my pants and left after that. Fun!

Have the chance to watch Michelle Buteau. It is a lovely venue, feels very intimate. There are limited seats, and if you come late like us you will stand in the back for the entire show so just be aware!

Great staff and strong drinks. Visited for the No Sleep podcast live reading which was fantastic as well. Nice and interesting venue. Will be back.

Are the shows 21+?

Depends on the show, there isn't necessarily any ratings included but sound judgement would indicate that most shows are for adult audiences. Buying alcohol is optional, shows are incredibly fun without it, too.

Great question. You do get carded on the way in but there's no official 21+ posted anywhere.

What time is best to pick up will call tickets

Depends on the show or event you're attending to. Some events get crowded even one hour before the show, while some others might be 30 minutes before the show. I would say one hour is good enough for most events, but really it all depends on the particular event you're attending.
