I think grabbing a booth with friends is the way to go, but if you're solo, don’t be shy to chat with people at the bar—everyone is super friendly.
Cleopatra's

You might want to arrive just after 8 PM. The vibe gets way better as the night goes on, and you can also snag a good spot to sit and enjoy the show.

I suggest checking their social media for special events or promotions before you go, because some nights have lower cover charges or unique shows. My friend and I saved a decent amount this way!

If you're planning to tip, I recommend bringing small bills. It makes things easier when you want to show appreciation without making a big deal out of it.
Liaisons
The Oxford Hotel
Xxl Club

I recommend talking to the performers and staff. They’re really friendly and can give you insight into the best shows and personal preferences which can enhance your experience.

I suggest checking out the early evening shows, around 8 PM, as it’s less crowded and you get a chance to enjoy the performances up close. Just avoid peak hours like midnight if you're not into big crowds.
Midnight Delight
Soda Factory
Petersham Inn

I suggest bringing cash if possible. Some places can be a little picky about card payments and it just makes things quicker, letting you focus on enjoying your time.

My advice is to try the bar snacks – they were surprisingly good! I almost skipped food but glad I didn’t. Just be careful, they might fill you up before the main show!

I think it's smart to check their social media for any special events or drink deals before you go. I stumbled upon a happy hour deal that saved me some cash.
81a Crows Nest

I recommend chatting with the staff; they can give you the scoop on the best performers and the nights they are on. It really made my experience more enjoyable!

If you're planning to visit on a weekend aim to arrive around 10 PM. It starts to get really lively then plus you’ll avoid the early crowds

My advice is to take a look at their website for any upcoming events. I missed a live performance that sounded awesome – definitely a bummer!
