Lucille FisherAugust 2, 2015Great laughs & entertainment! Catch the matinee to break your day of sight seeing/shopping. Then head out to Old Town for a drink & a stroll before dinner.
ISC ChicagoOctober 13, 2018Good place for a beer or cocktail and quick bite before or after a show at The Second City
Anamaria HernandezSeptember 13, 2014If you want interaction with the comedians, make sure you get a spot within the first 3 rows with preference for the first row.
Christina BradwayApril 15, 2016Always a good show. They pack you in tight, and try to get far from the piano, but it's always great fun.
Leland BrewsterSeptember 25, 2015Highly recommend the Sunday Bloody Mary Sunday event. Tasty food and a great show!
