Suspiciously ready for all your drunken caprices. Tacos? Arcade games? A random desire to embarrass yourself in front of a crowd? They've thought of everything.

Beautiful porch sitting and cool vibe. Loved the open mic and pin ball. Great for just getting drinks as they were very strong. Very hip spot def coming back.

Fun place. Several bar areas. Up, down and outside. They can do private parties. They also have a comedy club next door. Very casual.

The Creek and The Cave is three things in one: a bar, a Mexican restaurant, and an alternative comedy lab, incubating the most promising joke-telling talent in town.

Fine place to see standup. Didn’t expect much of the restaurant. Wings took forever to get, but we’re surprisingly good with a glassy, crispy skin and decent size. Worth ordering again.

Aside from the comedy club, pinball, patio and downstairs bar. The tacos are some of the best you will find. Come anytime and be happy.

If you ever decide to try out the 7 train & make it out to Long Island City, be sure to pop into The Creek and The Cave for a set of stand-up comedy and a plastic cup of Magic Hat beer.

Awesome food and you can't beat the happy hour. Check out a comedy show too while you're at it to see the next big up-and-comer.

Great spot for free comedy! Don't miss the pinball machines downstairs!

Recently installed about 6 pinball machines in the downstairs bar. All are in excellent condition, and they even have Jersey Jack's Wizard of Oz.

s a sprawling comedy complex that includes a Mexican restaurant, a theatre, a podcast operation, and a bar.

Brunch is about $10 and comes with a complimentary alcoholic drink. Be sure not to miss out on that opportunity!

This is part comedy club part Mexican restaurant...(funny enough, right?).. The crowd & menu cater to the gringo's tho.

Have the Taco platter and a tap IPA. And while you're there - go downstairs and enjoy a comedy show.

Can't say enough good about this place! I'm also too drunk off of good cheap beer to write a long review! Just come for the comedy and booze!

Open mic nights, featured comics, and casual Tex-Mex comfort food collide at this bar and comedy venue.

Best part of their pinball machines are the double cup holders on either side.

Update: They've gotten better... grilled shrimp tacos are really yummy. Head to the garden and grab a Tecate in the summer.
Maryam AlyApril 28, 2014

Reminds me of the eBay parts of college, food, humor, and a place to hangout.

Best Cali-style burritos in LIC. Splurge on the zesty verde sauce, too.

FISH TACOS AND FREE COMEDY! No other place in the city has an indie comedy scene like this.

Margaritas and shrimp tacos (margaritas just $4 on Mondays)

Tacos so good even us Cali transplants have no complaints! And since it's 2 blocks from our office, you can't blame us for coming here every other day for lunch!
Jessica LiJanuary 12, 2014
Amazing amazing stand up (and burritos). And it's free! #hiddengem #lic
JenKuduSeptember 25, 2013

Love the food and they always have great comedy acts featuring known and unknown comedians!
Alison GrippoAugust 15, 2014
Pinball. But hit or miss on machines working. Would be fabulous if they invested in air conditioning for the lower area.
Andreas KleinerMarch 1, 2015
Your friendly neighborhood bar with comedy nights, great burritos and pinball.
Aaron DancygierJanuary 28, 2012
I ate here five years ago and remember those fish tacos like it was yesterday. They're still good, but not quite jaw dropping like I remember them.

Even waiting for the food is great. Amazing music selection.
WillJune 19, 2010
Good Margaritas, add a splash of OJ to make them a little less sour.Try the Beer Battered Shrimp Taco! It's $3.95, but definitely worth it.

Good California-style Mexican, and a clubhouse for some of NYC's up-and-coming stand-ups.
