The Cobra Club

Great bar great bartender. There's a pool table. And hey if you're lucky you can catch the Party City comedy night Check the Cobra Club or the Party City IG page for dates. It happens every other week beginning February 18th 2025

Wow, what a show! I came to the Live From Outer Space Comedy show on Friday and it was a hit! The performances were absolutely hilarious. And the audience was funny too. The comedians covered a variety of topics - there were at least three 9/11 jokes, a great poly joke and even singing. Plus all diverse is style of comedy and world view. They were all charming in their own ways and they managed to touch on some sensitive subjects with grace and humor, making everyone in the audience laugh at the horrible parts of the world and not at the expense of others. The host - John and his co hosts really do a great job picking the line up, makes sense they're the longest running show in bushwick!

I'm giving the bar itself 5 stars because it's legendary and great and I hope it lasts forever (plus I don't like bringing down a venue's rating for something they just host). The sound system in the back is fantastic. But the karaoke hosts (who run basically every karaoke in the neighborhood)...hm. I couldn't hear a word the female host was saying whenever she was on stage. And the way they run the show seems to be to put up the songs in order no matter what, so a bunch of regulars showed up super early and put in seemingly unlimited requests (also seemed to know the hosts so probably got priority) and then we all had to watch them each sing multiple times (I mean like 2-4 times while other people were still waiting to sing once-- they had great voices but there was a LOT of Lady Gaga). Most of our songs didn't come on for hours...the room almost totally emptied out and people were still waiting. Just doesn't seem like a great system? They also tell you you get bumped up by one slot for every dollar you tip which did not seem to be true...I wouldn't expect that to be the case and I'd tip anyway, but they did say it and then they didn't seem to be clocking which tip went with which song/person (and that just seems like it would make the system even more unfair). One super drunk/high person also tried to steal the mic and wouldn't leave the stage during my friend's performance -- it was physically uncomfortable to the point where my friend had to ask them to back off and towards the end just gave them the mic and fled the stage, and no one from the karaoke team stepped in to help or try to get the bouncer.

So glad this place is still here!!! Neighborhood-ey club been here for over a decade and a cute pit stop on the way to the Jefferson L for hot coffee and a muffin. The barista/bartender Margot was a talented painter and a lovely person. Metal yogi gal is legendary too. Actually made buddies here not fake friends

They have snacks, they have drinks, it’s loud and they host an amazing comedy show - live from outer space hosted by John F O’Donnell - edgy, hilarious, and diverse line up of views and topics - though almost everyone did have a 9/11 joke because New Yorkers #NeverForget
