The Fool

Bar ā€¢ Live music bar ā€¢ Comedy club

šŸ˜  Not a nice experience, they put you on a chair in front of a small table, even if on the internet you see a map with a normal table. How to eat in a decent way??? Unconfortable chairs, looks very cheap. The show started with big delay. I donā€™t recomand the experience. No value for money. People often mention show, nice, good, great, drinks, service, night, location, comedy, experience,

    Located on Calea Victoriei, the location is no more special than others also located in once abandoned basements.With the exception of the partitions, the arrangement of the tables is not the most suitable for groups, they actually have to sit in rows, like at the cinema. I personally had an unpleasant experience with the waiter who took the order and never showed up. On the second approach, he calmly tells us that he misplaced our order, but he did not come to take the order again. The prices are quite high, above those in the Old Center. The show was interesting, with the exception of a too noisy group that disturbed the performance of those on stage.

    The place to go for amateur standup shows on Thursdays! Great fries.

    Come for the stand up and you won't be disappointed. Come for anything else, like food, drinks, or decent service, and you'd be The Fool. Ordered a beer, took so long I thought they brew it on the spot and expected the freshest, most refreshing taste, only to be flatly disappointed. Ordered a gin with tonic on the side, waited and waited, ended up going to the bar to order it, only to be invoiced a gin&tonic and a separate tonic because, presumably, my order was too complicated for a person working a bar right smack dab in the city center to understand. What is one to do but laugh about it? The stand up acts were very good, funny, raunchy, certainly much more refreshing than everything else at The Fool.

    Very nice place. The show was funny and engaging. The drinks were diverse and at a decent price for the city centre. I don't know how the food was, but They serve sushi so that's nice. I recommend it. At least on Thursday, cuz that's when I went. It's open mic night.

    Great shows with various artists - some with amazing jokes, others who do long monologues of stories/jokes. The food is great - everybody loved the fries, the burgers were good (those containing meat was smokey, the vegan one was better than expected). You can find the usual cocktail range that is done nicely and taste good.

    Nice venue, good place for standup comedy, good visibility, sound, nice personnel and always a nice place to visit. I am visiting the place often, thus it feels like home. 4 stars for the quality of coktails, which is not great. Was several times there, the same tonic gin had different amounts of alcohol, until, several days ago, it had none.

    A nice place in the heart of the city, with good service and pleasant atmosphere.

  • 2/5 Phil C. 2 years ago on Google
    Chairs are small and very uncomfortable. That's OK, because I can afford Vip at 300 lei. What I can't afford is tolerance for people coming in mid-show asking me and my Vip friends if they can occupy the unused chairs in my Vip space. No kidding?! They probably grew up at the country side and were seeing a show for the first time. These people should be outside where it's normal to beg, not even be allowed close to people who pay Vip.

    Don't bother arriving on time for the show, they usually have a delay of at least 30 minutes... besides that, most of their stand-up events are pretty bad content and pricey imho (stand-up doesn't have to mean excessively and unnecessary swearing, I would rather appreciate an autistic but authentic story than some common things explained in a not so funny manner). Overall, they are far away from being good but that's what we have for now, let's hope for better :)

    It took them 20 minutes to serve us 4 drinks and two snacks. The show should start at 22 but started at 23. From what we understand they cannot start the show, until everything is served and all orders are finishedā€¦ Very disappointing from the perspective of the organization in this location. If it wouldnā€™t have been to see Micutzu sincerely we would have left the location.

    great vibe, a place to leave with your smile on! although you can get a good variety of wine and cocktails, the beer menu is quite slim the food is just something for the grab, the burgers are just ok (good meat but basic burger buns) with way too much oil in the french fries as well

  • 4/5 Marius B. 6 months ago on Google ā€¢ 57 reviews
    I hit up this standup comedy bar last night and the acts were absolutely hilarious! I was laughing my socks off the whole time. But here's the kicker ā€“ those tables were packed in like sardines. I mean, you practically had to do acrobatics to squeeze in and out. Not the most comfy setup, I'll admit. On the bright side, the service was on point. The waitstaff were quick, and they kept the drinks flowing. šŸ˜‚šŸŽ¤šŸ»

    The shows are super cool, the location in the basement is a bit cramped, the seats close to the stage are quite few, many seats without visibility to the stage or very far away (you have to watch on TV) which is a bit crazy since you can see a live show. Very good drinks!!

  • 4/5 Ionut D. 4 months ago on Google ā€¢ 20 reviews
    Great venue and show. The service was a bit slow due to the multiple number of guests and not enough staff to serve. The food menu should offer additional options as it's very limited. Some of the locations cannot see the stage, due to building structures or people in front of you. But great atmosphere, nice staff, great show. For sure I will return with pleasure and I recommend it

    First time was a ā€œimpro showā€ on Wednesday with tickets 50 lei for a noisy and not fun at all ā€œshowā€ but other week on Thursday for ā€œopen micā€ with free entry and was really fun, most of it ..

  • 5/5 T. M. 4 months ago on Google ā€¢ 14 reviews
    Big, spacious location, with a large variety of drinks, but not that much food. Stand up show was amazing. Overall a really nice experience which is worth repeating.

  • 5/5 Andreea M. 1 year ago on Google
    Not going to fool you, but everything was great. The vibe, the food, the drinks and the staff. Keep it up!

  • 5/5 Petru S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place. Loved it. Right in the heart of the city.

  • 5/5 Valentin S. 1 month ago on Google ā€¢ 6 reviews New
    The location is very well located. The show that night was an experiment and it didn't quite work, but the service and atmosphere were cool.

  • 4/5 andreea a. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is pleasant and the service prompt. As regards the stand-up, it depends on your luck, some of the comedians are really weak, while others are funny-ish (thatā€™s as high as Iā€™d go in my appreciation). The trivia nights are really fun. Iā€™d recommend it if you want to have a fun night out with several friends.

  • 3/5 F r. 1 year ago on Google
    Show itself was amazing and worth the money! Central location, easy reachable, but expect a basement. Nicely arranged inside however tables in the middle looked uncomfortably close one to another so not very enjoyable. My recommendation is to avoid the food - i took a beef burger and potatoes and 1 hour later i started feeling sick. Burger was cold as potatoes also and meat in burger was strange at taste. Stick to peanuts and nachos and focus on better table arrangements

    As comedy clubs go it's pretty ok

  • 5/5 Veronica P. 5 years ago on Google
    The ideal choice for a laughable night out. ? The shows are great and the crowd supportive (a little bit more applauses, though, wouldn't hurt - it lets the performers breath a bit between stories). The design is very nice, though the set-up is too narrow. There is little room to move, making access to toilets difficult. ? Iqos and Credit card payment possible.

  • 5/5 Elly V. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to bring your friends and have a good laugh.

  • 4/5 Laurentiu-Marian A. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Simona C. 5 years ago on Google
    This place has a great stand-up comedy lineup. The open mic night it's really nice. You can see and hear very well no matter where you are seated. I just wish they had more options of beer and wine.

    Amazing place, lovely experience!

  • 3/5 Serban G. 2 years ago on Google
    Went it for the food, tried a burger, it was very dry with almost nothing besides the meat, the french fries and the sauce were great instead. Also the waitress was extremely sloppy and uninterested in doing her job even if there were very few people in the location.
