Cozy and intimate comedy club/bar and they have some pretty funny comedians on stage. A few of them are beginner comedians that went on after the main event. It was cool and it's nice to support the business! Security up front is friendly as well.

Our bartender (Nick) was fantastic. Skilled in his craft. Prices were fitting to the level of flavor that he was able to incorporate into each of the bar's very unique drink menu. I've added just a few photos for reference. I will return to this establishment the next time I am in San Francisco for the bar alone and I recommend that you do the same. That being said I had come to the function for a comedy show and at the end of the night had come to find that the overall experience here was lacking. Less than half of the comedians were actually funny. The majority of the comedians were a bust and instead of realizing it was their jokes that were bombing they chose to blame the audience. The amount of insecurity that was projected on to us not being a "lively enough" or "entertained enough" audience was cringe to say the least. Two very embarrassingly desperate comedians even went so far as to insult our facial expressions as if us not laughing was our fault. We drove over two hours with the intention of enjoying ourselves and having fun. It was very disappointing to say the least. If we weren't laughing it's because the comedians needed more practice in delivering and experience overall. We stayed through the night for both shows. The first show's presenter did a pretty good job keeping the audience involved and the energy alive, although only three of the comedians in the entire show made us laugh. The second show's presenter was a definite DOUBLE D. Desperate and dull. Our lack of response to her painfully self centered set and interaction with us was so that she decided to take it out on the audience in an almost tantrum like Manner. Audience response teaches you which jokes work. It's important to use that experience and information to better hone whatever skill you have rather than to attack your audience. We all start somewhere and it's nothing to be ashamed of but insulting people flat out without even the set up or follow up of a joke is an indication of where your "career" is headed. Confidence is key however talking down to your audience is not the way to win them over or gain support. The comedian who joked about never winning a fight with his girlfriend... You were very funny. Clearly the most experienced comedian of the night between both shows and your ease on the stage and engagement with all of us on top of the responses you were getting from the audience was a clear sign that you are going places my friend. "Doorman" who was also a comedian in the show, you were actually my favorite. I realize you are just starting out but if you're this funny in the very beginning I am confident in your future and I am looking forward to being in your audience again. The comedian who bragged about opening for John legend and then raged on everyone for bombing your set and stating that we "didn't matter because you performed for thousands at a time"... Go home. The only thing that was close to a joke during your presence on that stage was your grossly entitled confidence being that there was nothing noticable to back it. And lastly...koffman... Cough cough. 😐🥱🤫 A formal and extremely detailed review on the show will be published and available on all platforms soon but for now, this has been my quick and overall review.

Wow, what an incredible first-time experience at this comedy club! The talent here is top-notch. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was electric. The host kept the energy high and the laughs rolling, the bartender mixed fantastic drinks while throwing in some hilarious banter. This place truly offers a complete comedy package. Can't wait to come back for more laughs!
