Gino's East LaSalle, Chicago

At The Comedy Bar, silly and subversive routines from veteran headliners and up and comers split sides inside their new home, Gino's East River North. Sometimes referred to as "Chicago's best kept secret" by the Society of People Who Can't Keep Secrets, The Comedy Bar boasts a third floor showroom that grants up-close views of comedians and features a loaded bar of craft beers, wine, and cocktail delights without the fuss of a drink minimum. The Comedy Bar recommends that guests arrive at least 20 minutes before each show so hosts can lead them to a cocktail table and they can tell everyone around them their life story.
