Located in a basement beneath the Olive Tree Cafe, this popular club has hosted a lineup of performers ranging from William Shatner, Ice T and David Lee Roth to Colin Quinn, Greg Giraldo and Dave Attell. The tight quarters, college-age regulars and raucous atmosphere make for a quintessential NYC comedy experience--as does the high probability of unannounced drop-ins by the likes of Dave Chapelle and Robin Williams. A full bar offers beer, mixed drinks and specialty cocktails, while the menu from upstairs features burgers and wings, plus some vegan fare like a veggie kabob platter.

Ridiculously Fun!!
by Larank
Was not sure what to expect here, but must say that i have not laughed this hard in years.. and i laugh a lot! There were several short stand-up acts all of which were entertaining. Veronica Mosey, imparticular, was fabulous! She entertained the room from the moment she started to the second she ended, and left us wanting more. I can't wait to see her again. She was accompanied by Ross Bennett & Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock who were also wildly funny. I can't wait to get back soon and hope to see some of the same faces again.
- Pros: Fun, Funny, Hilarious, Great Comedians, Great Time!

service was so so.. but the show was good....
by chefvanessa
I went to this comedy club for my friend's birthday. Cover $18 which is O k because the show was very good. I have been to a couple comedy clubs before and didn't really liked them but at Comedy Cellar people make fun of everything with respect.
The negative part: I had one of the special drinks "Hollywood" the first one was very good then I asked the waitress to bring me a second one and it was awful and she was not close by to ask her to change it. They should be consistent with their products (food and beverage). And there is a maximum of three drinks which was kind of weird to me.
But probably I will be back.
- Pros: show
- Cons: drinks are not consistent in flavors

Best Comedy Club
by Freddiemack
I've been to most of NYC's big comedy clubs but I like Comedy Cellar best. The room has a good feel to it and the comics always seem to live up to the intimate atmosphere that's created here. Service and drinks are well above average and they have top comedian all the time.
- Pros: Comedians, Atmosphere, Service
