Flappers Comedy Club & Restaurant

OK so a little evening of laughter is just what the doctor ordered. Upon arriving it was pretty quiet,I guess they don't really start to hop until later. Went to the bar asked for a drink menu.The bartender gave me the menu and then just left me at the bar and went into the kitchen or something.Strike one.Next thing I noticed is that the drinks are really expensive,I'm sorry did I just arrive at a Beverly hills club? After you finish with a tip expect to pay 13-16 dollars for a drink.Given the spotty talents of bar tenders in general it is at your own risk that you shell out that kinda dough for drinks. Every one represents like they are mixologists when the truth is they probably ran the bar at their fraternity parties.I was part of a large party our waitress was awesome,don't remember her name but she was a blond,very engaging and quick to respond to requests and concerns. OK so i ordered my drink it took a very long time to come out,I will give a break for the fact that the bar was most likely slammed,however those are the owners problems and should be addressed. My friend received his iced tea and IT WAS THE WORST SWILL I HAVE EVER TASTED ! Seriously,either your ice cube machine is contaminated or your not monitoring the taste quality of what your serving. Next,you have to work on organizing food orders,my salad had to go back FOUR times..I was asked at least 5 times if this was my entree..come on get it together people are paying a lot of money for an experience not a nightmare. My chicken was way over cooked under heated and basically over priced for what I got,my friends pasta was horrible. Strike two. There was a lady going around taking pictures she asked the people around me and ignored me all together.I was with all of these people. i have to tell you that was really insulting and rude. Strike three. Your out. If not for the comedy show it would have been a total loss in my eyes.The first two comics should keep their day jobs. The stuttering guy was really funny and i applaud him taking a set back and turning it into something that he and others enjoy,he is a real inspiration. The turrets guy  was funny too,but i really couldn't see a severe turrets issue. But he did say he was working for BET..lol The nation of Islam must be getting desperate..haha..j/k. I appreciate what it takes to get up on stage and do what they do so for that they all have my admiration. In order for you to raise the game of Flappers the kitchen food and execution need serious improvement. If im gonna lay out 100-150 for me and my party it better be top notch..with peoples wallets much tighter these days you will have to compete for their loyalty. In my case I challenge you to raise the bar and your bottom line by addressing these issues. I think its great to have a comedy club option so close to where I live and my hope is that you take this review in the spirit in which it is given. The second star is for the laughs and our waitress.

Flappers let us down the last time we went.  Seats were good, comedians good, but kitchen staff went on vacation to Rome, probably.  Food we ordered (a simple pizza) came 30 minutes late and during the second act.  Good looking food was being served left and right all around me - but WHERE was my pizza?  Waitress, when she did come by, made some lame excuse, but did give me a free beer at least.  And I needed it!  .  Ah...now that food had arrived I was eager to dig in - yikes!  what the hell was that?  In the dark I surmised that what was supposed to be Margherita pizza turns out to be a cooked pizza crust with raw pizza sauce thrown on it - yes, raw pizza sauce.  Oh yeah, so glad I waited half the night for THAT!  Do I want to complain?  No, I just want to get the hell out of there & get something decent to eat!

overall good time
