Had a great time the first time we went. No complaints at the time. Tried to go again but it is not accessible by wheelchair. Will have to check out another comedy club I guess.

This is probably one of the most authentic speakeasies in Winnipeg—super interesting entrance, it’s giving prohibition lol. Been to a couple shows (improv and comedy nights) and they’re all good. The drinks are interesting, and the staff are always friendly.

Went for a first time visit with my partner for a Friday night Comedy Showcase. The venue is large and fits the 1920’s prohibition atmosphere. MC’d by the hilarious and super friendly Benji, he made the show flow smoothly the whole night through. Our waitress Hayley checked in on us consistently and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy with our drinks and food. The bartender Sabina made amazing & creative cocktails, and was extremely knowledgeable in mixology. The comedy showcase was really good, there were a couple of comedians that really stood out to us, but each act got us laughing throughout the night. After the show, we spoke with Scott, the manager, who was friendly to us and provided great leadership towards the rest of his crew.The night was so unforgettable, we decided to purchase tickets for next weeks burlesque performance.Overall, I absolutely recommend to check out this unique spot in the city. Thank you again for the amazing experience!

Bought tickets for the show tonight. A bit pricey at $29 after tax, however not completely regrettable. The show was enjoyable and I like supporting local artists even if armature. The service was slow but the manager, Scott made up for it 10 fold. He served us and supported his staff really well. Also, the bartender was super talented and made her drinks spot on. I would recommend for a date night or just night out. The effort made by all was evident and appreciated. Well done.

Fantastic atmosphere, great talent, and a wide variety of shows. This is definitely a 'hidden' gem in Winnipeg. The food is great and they are mindful of nut allergies. The staff are fantastic as well.

Always great to stay at a place - albeit a bit tired and needs a coat of pain - but well worn and everything works. Just off busy Portage Avenue, friendly Reception, newly renovated room interior/fixtures/furnishings/ and firm bed, and an excellent breakfast.
