the comedy shop is an inviting and conveniently located bar situated in the middle of Bleecker Street, the bustling West Village drag that is constantly chock-a-block with NYU students, nostalgia-driven tourists and boisterous sports fans. But the rest of the week, life at the comedy shop is much more laid-back, with nightly drink specials and great pub fare along with music, friendly, friendly service, and all the games on ESPN on flat screen television.
