Hyena's Comedy Nightclub

Any comedy club is tight, but I feel Hyena's really squeezes you in there to the point of discomfort. Sure, I'm a 5'10 hefty woman but I've never been able to completely let my limbs hang without touching another person. The whole two dollar minimum ordeal doesn't bother me---most comedy clubs are like that. I've been to this location four times, and on every single occasion, I wished the comedy act I came to see, performed at the Addison Improv instead.Improv isn't as tight and has better food options. Hyena's isn't bad---gets the job done but wouldn't be my preference.

OVERCHARING - I'M NOT LAUGHING Hyena's wait staff is a scam! My credit card was charged double the amount of purchase. I purchased 3 drinks at $7.75 each and 2 bottles of water for $3.00 each. I signed for total charge of $37.75 including the tax. 2 days later my credit card was charged $62.27. Of course, I immediately disputed the charge with my bank. My advice is to get a receipt and do not pay with a credit card. Not a funny matter!

Overall the show itself was good, good lineup of comedians leading to the main event. My only real concern is the place itself. It was a bit difficult to locate when coming through the downstairs parking as there is another location there with the same address 5321. Once there, it was mandatory to order 2 drinks.. it was a packed house waitresses almost tripping over each other and they kept going back and forth which was quite distracting throughout the performances.. I will say the hallway on the way to the seats was pretty nice because it highlighted past comedians history..

The food was horrible. After waiting for for over an hour our brisket nachos finally arrived. The brisket was chopped so fine that it was nowhere near a serving. The cheese was slim and cold. It's a requirement of each guest to purchase 2 items, I'm sure that's why the food is horrible. The drinks were full juice and not worth the price.

The food was what it is, basically bar food it was good but the waitress could have given us more than 1 little cocktail napkin for the nachos, that stuff was messy. The ambiance here is ALWAYS great. I've been going here since around 2005. I'm always trying to take people that have never been. I laugh so hard my cheeks hurt.

Acts can be hit or miss but the staff at the club and front of house are always on point. I've had to call the office a couple of times and it can be hard to get someone on the phone during the day (totally understandable for a venue that's open normally from 8pm-midnight). Once you are in thought, it has a comedy cellar vibe going on. Tables super close together where you are seated with strangers and super random decor (weird starburst looking sconces anyone?!?). The food and drinks are super basic bar fare but they get the job done. They normally have 2 shows thurs-sat nights and you can normally scoop up tickets they day of which is always nice. I've found the local opening acts / MCs to often be better than their headliners which can be disappointing (showcase the local talent!!). The service during the show is always sharp and on point. They promptly let you know about last call and get you closed out before the end of the show.All in all, a good local spot for comedy!

Great spot. Servers are exceptional. Food isn't bad but not a lot to choose from. Ambiance is where this place kicks some butt. Highly recommend checking out the website and seeing what comics are coming to town bc there are some really big names that roll thru here. Best servers are Najat and Garvey.

I've been going to a lot of comedy shows this past year so I've seen a lot of the comedy clubs in DFW. This has to be one of my favorites! First of all, parking is easy. I sometimes have a meltdown when I have to find parking in a busy downtown area, so I'm appreciative that it is located in a shopping center. The place is pretty small, so there's no bad seats. The employees are super friendly, the food is okay from what I hear (I don't eat a lot at comedy shows). If you ever plan on trying out a comedy show, I would definitely recommend Hyena's!

I saw Chad and JT here and had the best experience! Went for a date night and it was a blast. Great service and drinks

As a Comedy Club the entertainment of Eric Eaton was fantastic but the food I ordered was TERRIBLE. Brisket Sliders had 3 buns with less than a little teaspoon of gristle. Absolutely disgusting.
