Come for a stein, stay for a set. Buchner's Bierhalle is a German restaurant and pub on Edgewood Avenue in Murray Hill, pouring imported German beer alongside wine and a full bar. The kitchen sticks to the theme with German food, so dinner and the show can happen in one stop.
Comedy on Saturdays
River City Comedy runs a stand-up show here on Saturday nights, sometimes with two shows in one evening. The lineup rotates between local comics and touring acts, so the bill changes week to week. Expect the usual stand-up order, with a host warming up the room, a comic or two in the middle and a headliner to close.
Comedy in a beer hall feels different from a club. It is looser, the room is built for drinking and talking, and the comics know it. The listing for the show does not mention an item minimum, and the bar keeps running around it. Order between sets, keep side conversations low while someone is on stage, and you will fit right in.
Before You Go
- Guests under 21 must come with a parent or legal guardian.
- Parking is free.
- Show times and age rules can change, so check your ticket for the night's rules.
Tickets
River City Comedy sells its own tickets online, so there is no ticket button on this page. The same group books stand-up at Burlock and Barrel in Brooklyn and at Ink Factory Brewing in Jacksonville Beach.
On the Same Street
The Murray Hill Theatre is a few blocks up Edgewood Avenue, and it books comedy alongside its concerts. Five Points and FIVE are a short drive away. See the whole neighborhood guide in Riverside and San Marco.
