We were pleasantly surprised by this bar + event space that regularly houses comedy shows + other events. The Stand caught us off guard with its larger-than-life personality and buzzing ambiance, plus we laughed our a$$es off at one of their comedy shows where they regularly host some of New York's finest. The Stand is more than just your typical comedy show as they offer a more "upscale" experience to the cramped basement comedy show you may be used to and great food + cocktails.
