Filming Location · 15 guests · November 2025 · Upscale Bar and Showroom

We had an amazing experience filming at Rodney's. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful in working with us during location scouts and for the shoot. The showroom had the perfect stand-up comedy stage we were looking for. The team’s support made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Would 10/10 recommend for any events, shoot, etc!
