Perched on the third floor at 162 E. Superior Street just off Chicago's Magnificent Mile, The Comedy Bar has been setting the bar for stand-up in the city since 2011. Weeknights bring house staples like Late Nite Mic with Vik Pandya, the audience-judged Tomato Throw Show, and Crowd Work Wednesday, while weekends feature touring headliners on the Main Stage. The room pairs signature cocktails with Gino's East deep dish pizza, and an outdoor rooftop terrace opens up in the warmer months.
