This was my first time at Caroline's and I have to say I liked the more intimate setting even though we were packed in there like sardines. The food was pretty good and I laughed until I cried.

It was my first time here. Don't know if some nights depending of the comedian if you will find them funny or have a great time? I sure had a good time, enjoyed their appetizer , and drinks.

The admission process is unorganized and hectic. VIP ticket holders are forced to push their way to the front of the massive hoard of people. Designate a line for VIP and problem solved.

AmateurConcierge

Big name comedy headliners in the heart of Times Square. Vibe is a bit TGI Friday’s for my taste (it’s not the Comedy Cellar) but a bit nicer than many of NYC’s other comedy venues

Miguel Gonzalez

DO NOT have the available dinner at Carolines on Broadway before the show; WAIT until you are seated because he menu inside the performance space is the same

The Caesar salad with chicken was delicious. D. L. Hughley has crew were excellent! Overall great night.

Comics are great and some great shows happen there...however their staff isn't very nice...especially the coat check lady I dealt with. What is her problem? Expensive too...you'll have to think a bit.

Alyssa Bereznak

one of the classier comedy clubs i've been to in ny. doesn't change the fact that you have to trudge through times square to get there!

Alice Ng

Medium-sized venue. Seating can be tight, but great sight line all around. Two drink minimum per person .

Karen

Stellar entertainment club. They also have pretty decent food.

I P

Spacious venue. In addition to drinks, they also serve food. Tips are included in a check.

We saw a hilarious show! Be warned there is a 2 drink minimum once you're inside the showroom

Haley Jones

Came here for a 'announced that day' Louis CK show, and the opener comedian was really funny... And then Chris Rock just appeared. How can I not write a great review after that!

your entertainment guides

Food and drinks are standard, but the comedians are hilarious. If you're going to see a headliner , get there early! Everyone is given a number and you're seated according to that number

Food portions are big and they have some great comedians that go there.

Comics blah blah blah...how about a round of applause for the spacious , well-maintained bathrooms ?

Lears Fool

The wings were decent. But try to eat before showing up. Before show service is awful(actually non-existent.)

Venue seems dated, but service is friendly and the comedians are hilarious.

Attended the club, it was awesome but this usher guy name Chris was rude and unprofessional as hell. No customer friendly whatsoever. Unacceptable! My money must not be good here according to Chris.

If you are lucky, you can catch Eddie Brill there. He works with David Letterman. VERY funny guy!

The chairs in the dining room are extremely uncomfortable. Get a half booth if you can.

Nela Alex

If you want a good drink ask for jerimie..he's great

Mrfantastic8000

The comics are excellent. The food pricing is reasonable. However, the setup us AWFUL! One way in the seating area and one way out! Very cramped while waiting! Very poor pre show wait space!

Joe

15% service charge automatically added in the lounge .

Nikos Maridakis

They hit you with "two drink minimum per person " BS even for ticketed events .

Justin Edbrooke

Make sure and catch Steve Rannazzisi from The League when he is in town !

Mei-Ly
