Honestly didn't know what we were getting into?! All I can say is freaking vibes!!!! From the host! To the bartender and the whole comedy show!!! I will definitely be back!!! 😌🤍
It was a great little comedy show with some well renowned comics and a famous headliner. For a first comedy club experience, it was very welcoming and the facilitator was personable and professional about the peanut gallery comments. The AI wound up getting wonky in the end, but other than that, the comedians/comediennes were feeding off of each other's bits and felt very balanced. The crowd work and rapport built with each selected comic had progression to them, and the atmosphere was definitely warmer than I anticipated for a cocktail bar in San Francisco. I highly recommend for couples and small groups of friends... It's quaint, with seating room in the far back towards the stage. It's built long, not wide. Not sure what's upstairs, but that's a topic for a future review. (In other words, I look forward to returning.)
Came for a comedy show on a Sunday night.. I had a great time, laughed my butt off for like 3 hours.. plus they have cool staff, friendly vibes... Definitely recommend coming and I would love to see another comedy show or bring a date here. Great time
