Message from Laugh Lounge nyc

Laugh Lounge nyc

NYC's Hippest Comedy..."A change of pace from other clubs," Time Out NY

  • Live Comedy Shows.
  • Comfortable Lounge.
  • Strong drinks!

"Anyone looking for a change of pace from the 'herd 'em in, liquor 'em up, herd 'em out' vibe of certain other clubs will appreciate the casual friendliness of this new venue... A plush lounge invites patrons to mingle before the show and linger afterward...Keep it in mind next time you're in the land of pickles and tenements," Time Out NY

Editorial Review for Laugh Lounge nyc – by E. Chen

The Scene
The disco lights and neon sign at the door undercut this otherwise chill space. What distinguishes Laugh Lounge from the masses is its twice-nightly comedy shows and the sincerely good service from both bartenders and club owners. Enter the red-and-black decorated space to be warmly greeted by the hostess and seated at one of 10 cushy black couches. The barkeep behind the small black bar actually smiles while mixing your choice of basic cocktails. Pre-show, the owner herself escorts patrons to their tables in the performance space downstairs.

The Draw
No-nonsense drinks and laid-back reggae (played at a decent, conversation-possible volume) make this bar an ideal post-work destination, even if you're not a comedy fan. Neighborhood regulars take the best seats along the back wall, facing a montage of vintage comedy albums (including Bill Cosby and Billy Crystal's first recordings).

Insider Tips

Save Time

The mad rush for seats usually occurs five minutes before showtime. To avoid it, sneak to the back of the bar, where there's an another staircase with access to the performance space.

Save Money

No need to grab dinner before the show--the owners put out free dumplings and buffalo wings, weeknights.

I have been to the Laugh Lounge numerous times, and have never been disappointed. The drinks are strong and the comedians are hilarious.

Pros: Everything.

Cons: The bathroom could be cleaner.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended
