The Grisly Pear Greenwich Village

Had the best time here last weekend. The Staff were super friendly and the Comedians were hilarious. We were able to walk in and get tickets as the show was starting. People are sleeping on this place. I’ll be back for sure.

Been here twice for the evening 10 and 20 dollar comedy shows. For something you can just walk into last minute for that price, amazing. Platter of different flavors of humor every time and both times the host was fire. Great line up and way to get to know upcoming comics. I’ll definitely be back.

Super cozy bar and lounge, comedians were hilarious. Great vibe

Unfunny comedians, they all begged for a follow, $20 to get in and they forced you to buy 2 drinks once you got in. Total tourist scam by drunk self stupidly fell for. Do yourself a favor and skip this place you ain’t missing anything.,

Gary and the staff run a great bar and the comedy shows are a blast. Check em out if you're ever in the area. Very powerful.

Solid dive bar and great amateur comedy club with one really bad bartender that is the sole reason for two stars. The comedy had some hits and misses, but all of it was enjoyable and worth way more than a $10 ticket. If you want to see earnest performances by amateur standup comedians, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot. The kind of place where the comedians themselves were selling the tickets themselves on the corner. I love it. (Shouts to David Caggiano! You were great that night!)

That being said. The bartender was so bad, unsure if we'll be back. Ordered some old fashions. He serves multiple groups who ordered after us. Nbd. It's a bar, it happens. Finally get them, but they come with soda. I've never in my life seen an old fashion with soda, but come to find out that's just how they do them there. We take a sip and it's pretty awful. We just ask if they can be made the normal way without soda. He treats this as if we're nuts. I say just get us two bourbons neat, a beer and a wine, because the show is about to start and it's a two drink minimum. He brings us the drink. My wife and I both say thank you multiple times and sorry for the bother. He's being rude, but we're ignoring it. I hand him my card, he runs it, and as I'm quickly signing, I realize it's way too much. I asked him why it's so much and he says it's for the two old fashions. When asked why we were charged for them. Then he insults me and ignores me. We just go to the show because it's not worth missing it for that guy. As we leave, I wished him well and hope he has a better night.

I've worked in nightlife for 20 years. I have seen some awful bartender behavior, and that's up there with the worst of them. A straight up guarantee to turn patrons away. Just remake the drink, or make new ones. Don't insult your customers because they made you feel bad for not knowing the normal way to make an old fashioned. Definitely don't charge their card for a higher amount hoping they just won't notice. When they do notice and bring it up, just offer the refund for the two unused drinks. Or maybe just don't be a bartender.

We're disputing the charge (just the two drinks) through our credit card. Happy to pay for the rest.

This place used to be amazing for what it was - comedy was free and there were unbelievably potent frozen margs for $5, but since Covid prices have raised (as they have everywhere) - and unfortunately this place is no longer worth it for a $20 entry and a two drink minimum. Acoustics are really bad as there’s a busy bar just behind the comedy area, so unless you’re sitting right up front you can barely hear the comics. Now the price is the same as any mainstream comedy place, I’ll give it a miss.

Worst comedy we've ever seen. There was nothing clever, creative or witty about any of the acts. The Italian woman comedian tried her best as did the emcee, but the male performers were all woeful, resorting to tired racist, misogynist, homophobic, crude and stupid cliches. Jokes that vilify the homeless, are anti-semitic or encourage wife-beating are not cool or edgy - they're just offensive and boring.

Went there to see a "comedy" show, as our other plans got cancelled and had a few free hours. All of the acts were Terrible. Not even remotely funny. It was a show of like 8 guys and 1 girl, and literally all of their jokes were about me not finding them funny. Like literally all of them used 90% of their time to bother me, saying the same things, one right after the other. Like is that your creative limits? And also nobody else was finding that funny as well.

The drinks were also pretty much terrible and too expensive, and they informed us after we bought the tickets that we must buy 2 drinks.
