Three stars for the comedians, or else I would have given it 1 star.
Pros:
Great ambience, good enough food (some items aren’t as pricey so that’s a huge plus)
CONS:
They messed up our bill the first time and then we asked them to bring us a revised one. So finally we have the right bill and we put our cards down. THEN they bring the bill back AND THEY CHANGED ONE ITEM FROM 2 BEERS TO 3. I have NEVER faced such deception in NYC before. After we pointed out that they increased the number to 3 beers they went and got the original bill and handed us 6-7 bill slips WHICH STILL HADNT FIXED THE AMOUNT. We ended up leaving without resolving it because we gave up they were clearly doing this on purpose to cheat the customers. So please please beware and keep checking the bill if you plan to go here. Yes I saved the whole stack of messed up calculations that they did with the bills.
The thing is the comic lineup was so fantastic and that’s separate from how poor the service was so now I would want to go back to another show but I wouldn’t want this same service.
There’s a $20 Food/Drink minimum but it’s a pretty fancy location so I wouldn’t mind spending that if I was on a date or celebrating something.

The stand up here is awesome. Highly recommend the “Voltage Comedy” nights. Food was great and drinks were great as well.

Live near this place, went in for a show tonight (Saturday) that was being taped. I’ve been to a handful of shows, some are great, some are less so. That’s life. That’s comedy. This show definitely had some awesome comedians and great acts but the guy running it was brutal. It was being taped and the host wanted us to laugh and clap on command. He was doing little hand signs, just very forced. So uncomfortable. We got our check at intermission so we could bail and the server berated us for leaving because she would need to fill the table. But we were in the far back and there were plenty of open tables. This seems like a great club, the drinks were good, the decor was decent, and I bet with other hosts on other nights it’s great, but it wasn’t tonight. If I come back and it’s different, I’ll update this but for now, two stars is the best I can do.

Overall experience at Bond 45 was outstanding from start to finish. Excellent service and food. Braised short ribs over polenta and limincello did not disappoint.

Overpriced drinks, and extremely rude staff. Was here for a show and when I went to sit at my table was yelled at by one of the workers saying I wasn't allowed there, yelling and being incredibly rude to me even. This place seriously needs better customer service I am disgusted.

This week, stand-up New York hosted my book launch for my debut memoir, and it was the most spectacular event I’ve ever been to. My guest included friends, family, and lots of people in the publishing industry, and everyone agreed that it was a next level party. The bar service and offerings were excellent, the venue was spacious and elegant and did not have a cramped comedy club style feel, the staff were helpful And the ample seating was such that everyone had a good seat of the show. I will definitely be going back to catch comedy acts but I really want to plan another party there too!

The venue is spacious, plenty of seating options and one of the few comedy clubs in upper west sides. Friendly staff and excellent service.
The line up were amazing which concluded with Erik Scott who was super talented and pro.
Had a good laugh, will definitely come back to this spot.

I hear this is a pretty good place. I'll be in New York sometime soon. Hopefully, but if you look for a couple of laughs and like amusement, feel free to check out my youtube channel
