Ben RussoDecember 29, 2014The best small venue comedy club in the city. Very intimate, and you'll be surprised the quality of the talent!
Jenn NgAugust 9, 2014The waitstaff takes your ID to "hold" your table before a show begins. Make sure to get it back. They have a tendency to "forget". It is a shady way to enforce the 2-drink minimum.
Asha ServiaDecember 4, 2010Park on Washington or Clay & Battery, take the stairs on either street to One Maritime Plaza. Great comedians every week. Been here 10+ times & staff's consistently awesome. STANDARD 2 DRINK MINIMUM.- Brian StraussNovember 13, 2021Maybe the best comedy club in America. Small and intimate draws headliners from around the world. Service is excellent. Two drink minimum includes non-alcoholic options.
Chris WebbSeptember 29, 2017Beautiful, intimate venue. Gets a lot of good acts. 2 drink minimum sucks
- J JohnJanuary 3Weak drinks, terrible food but good service and excellent comedy acts. We say the NYE special with Greg Proops recently; a great show w/ great opening acts.
nancy t.January 6, 2016Great comedy shows, but the drinks are on the mediocre (and expensive) end (and it's usually a 2-drink minimum).
Live NationMarch 12, 2010Don't park in the garage underneath the club for late shows or on Sundays; it closes at 10pm and your car will get locked in! With some patience, you can find street parking! So worth it!
Jessica SantascoyApril 19, 2012This is the nicest comedy club in SF. If you don't drink alcohol, get Perrier and juice and mix them. Or try a root beer float!- Taylor LeeJuly 10, 2018There's a two-drink minimum, but it is worth it to see local comedians on Sunday nights.
Gordon CoreyAugust 29, 2013Had a great evening with a co-worker friend. Comedians were great! Food could use some work though.
David LeonJanuary 13, 2014Very cool venue in the heart of Downtown San Francisco. Came for the Sunday Comedy Showcase and was not disappointed!
Mimi SmithApril 22, 2013Awesome show on Sunday, but eat before you get to the show. Service may be a little slow.
Sunday night is amateur night, but it's not very amateur. For $12 (I think) you get to see about 10 of San Fran's young talent. Highly recommend it. Also pizza is decent.
Eve HamiltonDecember 11, 2013Tip your wait staff! Sarah is fast and sweet, no matter the circumstances!
St. Martin's PressMay 10, 2012Meet comedian Dave Hill on Monday, June 4, 2012 at 8:00 PM promoting his new book Tasteful Nudes. Also with Mike Drucker and Jesse Elias. Read more
- Live NationFebruary 25, 2010If you're having trouble finding the club, go into the Embarcadero Cinema, out the back door and over the footbridge!
Becky HendersonOctober 21, 2013Service is okay. They have one waiter or the whole place which is annoying. Hysterical comedians😄
Have the rare pleasure of watching Anyi Malik perform here- NanaJune 28, 2015Don't like the idea of minimum 2 drinks per person. What a rip off. 🍸#cheaptastingdrinks #notsocheap
Andrew ShatnyyNovember 4, 2012Beware of 2 drinks minimum policy! I think it's fucking ripoff. You pay cover then you get small and not cheap drinks
- Live NationFebruary 25, 2010Be sure to check out the SF Comedy Showcase every Sunday, featuring the best of the local comedy scene!
BluLabel DailyDealsDecember 8, 2010Remember: laughter is the best medicine. Well, after the bar, actually...
Anna TranMarch 3, 2012Non alcoholic drinks count toward the two drink minimum. Food... Does not. Bouncer makes you turn off your phone if you look at it- such bs
Ashley WilkinsJanuary 28, 2011Food sucks, eat before you go. Also it's a 2 drink minimum most drinks range from 8-11 dollars
- Live NationFebruary 25, 2010Comedians like Patton Oswalt, Arj Barker, Brian Posehn and Greg Behrendt all started here!
Lisa PetersonFebruary 15, 2010We were able to score FREE tickets on Goldstar.com, although paid a $5 processing fee.
Gabe RiveraFebruary 17, 2010Stop checking in or the bouncer will make you turn your phone off. Also, it smells here.

"Solid comedy lineup; excellent beer selection. Great night out overall, just mind the neighborhood."
Peter Berg - 8.3
"Fantastic improv. Don't be shy about volunteering when the actors ask, or grabbing a marshmallow. There's a small cafe with delicious snacks - highly recommend the cookies."
