Joey's Comedy Club

We came here on Friday for a friend's birthday.  We started out by eating at Kicker's which is downstairs. I wrote a review for the restaurant on their Yelp! page.  We were quite underwhelmed and actually kind of upset with how that experience went. Check out their page to see how that all went.

So, after our very unpleasant experience downstairs, we take our things and start to relocate upstairs in hopes of a much better experience.  Once we got up there, we waited in line for the girl to take our tickets. I had made the joke that it would be funny if it was the girl who took our phone reservations and screwed them all up...I guess I meant funny in theory, not for it to actually happen. Well, when we get up to the front of the line, assuming the owner would go up and let the girl at the ticket booth know, we explained who we were. She got very snotty and said she didn't know what we were talking about. So, we explained it to her in a nutshell and told her that Mr. Pappas, the owner, said we could come in free since we had 3 people with us with birthdays in February. She rolled her eyes, and said, "Fine, follow her." She pointed to the other hostess who took us to be seated. Looked like my joke turned into a reality with the attitude of that girl.

Once we sat, the waitress came right over and took our drink orders. She came back a couple times pretty quickly to check on us. I'd say she checked on us about every 5 minutes for about the first 20.  I still had a large beer from downstairs which took me about an hour to drink (I am a slow drinker sometimes.) Then it seemed like I was waiting forever for someone to come back and see if I would like my empty cup filled. Finally, after another 30 minutes of emptiness, a waitress comes by and grabs my glass and whisks away before I can get a word out. I assume our original waitress would come back after seeing I was empty. She never came back to check on any of us. When the show is over, she comes out and starts handing out all of the receipts. She also brought out a beer and receipt for a friend that was sitting across for me. She never asked for one and still had half of a beer left. We finally flagged her down and told her she didn't want that beer and that she wanted the charge taken off. She agreed and disappeared. We see her back after about 5 minutes handing out more receipts and collecting empties. We waited, and waited, and waited. Finally, we just went over to her and handed her the cost of the beer. No tip. Oh, and that was another thing. The tip was included in everyone's tabs. That would be fine if they actually sat our group together, but yet again, we were sat separate, so there was only a few at each table (4 people left after dinner). Well, the included tip was under 20% and that was all she was going to get from us since her service was under par.  We all gave her money and she never brought back change. Even after being approached about the whole incidence with bringing out a beer that was never ordered. We left and will never go back, which is unfortunate considering the comedians were quite funny. One had me in tears! What a shame!!

Small, squished in...HOT were the negatives.

GREAT comedian, last night (Bozeman). He was HILARIOUS!! Laughed from the moment he hit the stage until he left. I appreciate that the first comedian didn't allow hecklers to ruin the show. He put the heckler in his place. The crowd was great. Not a lot of chatting, talking over the comedian..

Great waitress. She was hustling and did it all with a smile : )

Love Joeys awesome entertainment great experience
