Stand-up Comedy · 30 guests
· August 2025
I rented the event space at Uptown Taproom for my Bachelor Party where myself and my groomsmen performed a standup comedy showcase for our close friends. Rhea did an excellent job answering all my questions leading up to the event in a thorough and timely manner, and had the space and food fully prepared when we arrived. I was already a fan of Uptown Taproom in general, and I'm so glad I got to create some more great memories there!
