Columbus Funny Bone — Restaurant in Columbus

We did a Mom's Night Out to a show at the Funny Bone in March! We purchased tickets online and noticed it was GA (General Admission). Our other two friends decided they wanted to go as well so they joined us. We looked up the time the doors opened to ensure we got there early and we could sit together and enjoy dinner and drinks. Once we got there, they gave us assigned seats which was very frustrating because we were NOT with our friends. We explained to them how our tickets say GA but they did not care and told us it's a sold out show. They asked if we called to ahead to request to sit together and this was the first we were also hearing of this option because we most definitely would have called ahead. We got no email or anything to be told we were assigned seats not and to call to sit with other friends. We asked if they could move a random pair of 2 to a different seat who have not arrived yet they simply said 'no, please follow the usher.' Once we got to our seats we tried to resolve the problem by asking people around us to switch seats with our friends but no one was willing so we went back out to the café area to hang with our friends until show time. Also another thing that was not covered when buying tickets is the 2 item minimum and if you buy one item from the café, it does not carry over to the performance area. We requested to talk to a manager (Sam) who listened to our concern, understood it, and said to give her time to see what she could do. Sam is the reason I am giving my review 5 stars. She took her time and ensured that she made her customers happy but finding us 4 seats together even it it was in the balcony which we didn't mind at all. There is not a bad seat at the funny bone! 5 stars to Sam and she is the reason we will be back to the Funny bone. Tips before you go: Book your tickets with your friends even it it's GA. Call before you go to ensure you're with your friends. Plan to eat at the Funny Bone to hit your two item minimum that is...

The only good thing about this place is the fact that they host decent comedians every now and then. They make it extremely unpleasant and not enjoyable to go see a show. $10 for a $2 tall boy $13 for four small cheese sticks. Then they keep coming by and bothering you about what drinks you wanna buy because apparently now there’s a two drink minimum. Well I’m sorry to tell ya but that’s an extremely sleazy way of trying to make money, I don’t care if it’s ”industry standard”. I was invited by friends and didn’t know I was obligated to spend that much money. I bought a ticket to be admitted to the show, that should be enough. If you guys need more money charge more for the ticket. It makes it seriously not fun and uncomfortable being made to feel like you have to buy things, when you’ve already paid for a ticket, admitting you into the event. This is also the second time I’ve sat in a horrible spot. This time they sat me on the end of a table right in the middle of an aisleway so every time and person or waiter, walked by me they bumped into me. You guys could take like maybe 10 tables away and then you would have plenty of room, but you insist on trying to squeeze as many people as you legally can probably into the space. It’s a disgusting way to operate and I genuinely don’t think I’ll be back. Maybe you guys would make more money off your food and drink if you made it enjoyable I feel like I’m being taken advantage of every single time I’ve been there. it’s a really bad feeling. I hope the right...

I absolutely love coming here. The entertainment is always great and the staff are courteous and as accommodating as they can be.

I tend not to get meals because the food just seems overpriced for what you get (nothing gourmet) but it has always been decent. Just plan on spending slightly more than you would for a similar product elsewhere.

Post Covid this has been a new experience. They were only at about half capacity the last time I came and tonight were back to almost full capacity. While I understand that ticket sales are the money maker I never enjoy the feeling I get when I see the chairs/tables as close as they are. As a bigger person it is very uncomfortable to have a chair directly behind/in front of someone to the point that you have to straddle their chair for leg room or hip space. As someone who tries to maintain their distance having spaces this close to others is also uncomfortable. Luckily we were two people at a table of four but the next table was still less than an arm length away.

Other than space this place is so much fun. I love comedy and always appreciate being able to see some pretty big names at a local establishment without having to pay an exorbitant amount of money. If you are a frequent flier here you will notice that ticket prices have raises slightly but nothing that isn’t to be expected after a business had to shut down for a year.

I will continue to frequent this establishment and find ways to stretch my legs as the...
