Nice experience. First of all every person we interacted with that worked there was professional and friendly. Second we had great seats right next to the stage for $23. Tables were $33. I dont see the advantage of the 33 dollar seats. The only reason for only rating 4 stars was food and drink prices and quality of the drinks. We paid $18 dollars for 2 orders of French fries (my wife for some reason had a carb craving). Also wasnt impressed with either the blood orange margarita or the spa treatment drink. Ordered a Sierra Nevada for $8.50 as my second drink just to be safe. Total cost for food and drink was $65. Overall enjoyed the evening. Also just thought about this but got the tickets discounted so basically it cost $100 for a night out with my wife. Pic is sight line from our seat.

Went here with some friends for a birthday. Ended up buying food and drinks. This location has a two-drink minimum so be prepared and bring some spending money (card or cash).The comics were all pretty funny, a little bit of something for everybody. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, comics call out to audience, employees are quick and respectful.Would not mind coming back here again, I think everyone should go here at least once.

Fantastic venue! Theyve made great improvements with a new entryway, box office, and added a lounge. Theres a good menu and drink selection. You can definitely hear the comics. If anything the sound was a little too loud.

Hopefully you guys will see me on stage there sometime this year! You have really great atmosphere as well as staff from the box office to the bars and waitresses!☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Really great venue with amazing headliners! Saw Joel Kim and awesome opening acts. The security, staff, waitstaff are very friendly, fast and accommodating. Very fun and relaxed venue to enjoy comedy! And the tickets were a great value! Only feedback is wish the night was longer - maybe even one more opening act - I wasn’t ready to go home from such a great experience.

There are a few pros - Parking is easy, wait staff is nice, it is small and intimate. The cons are the process they have when waiting for the show to start. It is 15 to 20 min before you enter the show and you aww standing in line with heels on. Then if you have a Will Call purchase you have to get out of line after security check point and then hope you can get back in line after getting your ticket. There should be a smoother process and if you have VIP tickets there should be a different line etc.

Great venue, but theres absolutely nothing on the website about a two drink minimum. Of course, its posted everywhere inside, and on the menus. What if youre in a tight budget and couldnt afford to buy food! Other than that, we really enjoyed our time seeing Michael Rapaport.

Went to see Bill Bellamy! Not only was he HILARIOUS, this is a great venue to laugh! Food and drinks were good and reasonably priced and parking is ample. It is on the second floor (beside a mattress store lol) but there is an elevator for those who may need it. Can’t wait to go back to see other comedians.

Had a good time at the New Years show. Pretty tightly packed. Security line was inefficient, would be pretty easy to tighten that up. Overall a good place to see a comedy show. Will be back.

We were made to feel like we were entering a jail rather than a comedy club. It was almost like they really didnt want us there. Your made to Empty your pockets. Purses and bags searched, magnetometer screening then your tickets are scrutinized. I felt like I was showing the Gestapo my papers. They make sure that you adhere to that two drink minimum as well. Seating is packed in like sardines. Very uncomfortable. I felt like the staff and servers were my handlers. Like a corrections officer/server. The only saving grace was the comedians. They were hilarious.

Had a good line up. My Daughter and I had a good time. Drink selection was good. Menu looked good but we ate before the show. No photos as they are not permitted. But good show. Shayna thank you for the tickets.

Review №16

I really like this place. My only chief complaint is the archaic 2 drink minimums at comedy clubs, not just this one. It would be nice (for non-drinkers) to have the option to buy a food item instead of a drink and more affordable drink options as well.

Review №17

Some friends and I decided to check out our local comedy club and we were not disappointed in the least. The venue and staff were amazing! There was a smooth and friendly transaction from the time we walked in to the time we walked out. Keep in mind this was the first time a couple of my friends had ever been to a comedy club and let’s just say we’ll be coming back very soon. We were able to watch Mark Normand and overall it was an amazing experience. Downside: They do have a two drink minimum (Yes, I said minimum) which really makes you spend more than you’d like but if you are all for having a good time out I would highly recommend the Punch Line!

Review №25

Drove down from out of town to Punch Line Sacramento to see a comedian that we have been wanting to see for years and we were NOT disappointed!! We scored tickets via Live Nation/Ticketmaster end of the summer sale for $20 bucks but would have paid full price for him wherever he was performing. Venue was easy to find in the strip mall, upstairs located next to a mattress store was easy breezy and literally across the street from our hotel. Walked right in to be greeted by security, went through a quick security check of the usual (ID check, ticket check, bag check, etc.) that then pointed us to their new bar area while we waited for the first showing to wrap up.The new bar area aka The Callback Bar was a perfect place for us to grab one of their specialty cocktails prior to our comedy extravaganza. We opted for Mules, I had the Drug Mule which had Humboldts hemp infused vodka in it and was exactly what I needed!! The hubby went with an Irish Mule with Jameson Irish Whiskey to start his night off. Our bartender was above and beyond as a matter of fact all of the staff here went above and beyond!! She made sure that we knew that whatever we order would not be counted for our two drink minimum not that we were counting, heck we would be walking back to our hotel across the street plus we had just had an amazing dinner a few moments before our arrival. We asked the bartender if there was anyway we could upgrade our seats to sit closer to the stage for the show so she worked her magic and boom chakalaka with the show not selling out we were able to move closer for next show - wooohoooo!!Upon inside the main show area, we were escorted to our new seats (thank you staff) the venue was intimate for holding 200, we like that no matter where you are inside it gives you a great view of the performers. Servers, staff and bartenders are kind, nice and service was great. Comedians had us holding our sides from start to finish. The MC was hilarious, the opener was cracking us up from the moment he came out and the headliner is insanely funny. We had the opportunity to have a Meet & Greet after to include pictures plus all of them visited for a few with the audience members that wanted to hang in The Callback Bar.Only downside to the evening was the two gender neutral bathroom so the lines can get rather hectic especially if its a full house, not too clean since everyone was in and out in a flurry with paper towels strewn about but I am sure the A-plus staff does their best to keep on top of that. Overall, cool venue for comedy acts and GREAT staff!!

I love the atmosphere of this place once you get inside. The seating is cramped and we had to sit at a table with people we didnt know but that could be a positive way to meet new people. Our server was friendly and the food is yummy.

Review №29

Nice place in a weird location. Being located in a strip mall has to give comics a free joke every time they come to the Sac Punch Line. But, the place is nice intimate comedy club and overall an enjoyable venue. Drinks and menu are decent, they were out of a number of menu items the night we were there, but wouldnt say it was a big deal. Chris Porter show was great and he continues to be one of the more under rated comics in the business.

It is weird to go out right now during this outbreak, but all of the workers were very cautious and the venue took everyones safety seriously. Not only was the lineup funny, but I will be returning just due to the thoughtfulness of the venue.

There are no bad seats in the house. I really enjoyed that the layout was built more around the stage to view the performer. Food options are meh but drink options are decent. This place has a 2 drink minimum. I really wish it were a 2 item minimum like some other comedy clubs have that way you dont feel obligated to get extra drinks for no reason and are promoted to get food items.

VERY poor customer service, went with a couple friends we were literally just laughing at some jokes the comedian made and the waitress came up to us clapping her hands and bobbing her head telling us to be quiet or else she’ll kick us out. We were talking amongst ourselves after that and got kicked out. You Pay for tickets but still want you to buy 2 drink minimum to stay!

A had a really good time here. Parking is good. They do have two drink min. This night theyvwere ahort staffed so the orders came slow but wasnt too much of an inconvenient. Bathroom only has two stalls so dont wait to go at the end like everyone else. I would not show up hungry...its a comedy joint not a restaurant. I would suggest to show up on time because on full nights certain seats are akward to seat at with a date. They have a lounge now outside the joint that you can order drinks and chill at but that is not part of the 2 drink min. at the show.

This was such a fun experience that Im definitely coming back for more! Registration was quick and easy through yelp or eventbrite. It was a spontaneous decision to come by the show and the only requirement is that you buy 2 drinks minimum, which is a must if you want to have a good time anyways! Come here for laughs and good memories with friends, dates, and whoever else!

Review №54

Had such a fun night. If you havent been before, theres a two drink minimum, and please remember to tip. Punchline consistently delivers shows that are worth more than the ticket price. Its located upstairs and down the long hall. They have a metal detector. I wear a couple of medical devices that cant go through them and they are always accommodating and use the wand so I dont have to risk malfunction of my devices. The staff is always friendly. Ive only had a couple food items but both were decent. No complaints. Definitely recommend.

Attended the Sac Town Comedy Jam and it was the most fun Ive had in a long time. The staff was friendly and on top of everything which was great because the show was sold out. All the comedians were great and the headliner, Wendy Lewis was hysterical. The Host, Morty The Mortician was super funny and kept the show moving right along. All the comedians delivered really funny sets and it was a great experience for all of us.

Review №68

Kind of cool. Kind of weird. If youre not a party of 4 youre sharing a table built for 2 with strangers. 2 drink minimum & tickets required is bogus. Wait staff is great, hosting staff needs extensive training.Hosting staff is terrible and poorly trained. We were seated, asked to move because the host didnt realize the table had been filled, no biggie! We move, there were 2 hosts now & once seated at the table they showed us we were asked to move again because the two chairs were reserved, again fine except1. This was a table for two with 4 chairs and now were going to share it with strangers, not a fan but ok I guess.2. You have a 2 drink minimum and I paid for tickets. Should be one or the other not both.3. The 2 drink minimum means theres 4 drinks on the table at all times, since we are now sharing with randoms food is out theres no room left to set anything.4. 2 menus on said table is not enough. Once I gave up custody of the menu to our table mates we never got it back.

Review №69

The show itself was amazing. But it’s way overly priced. And they have this 2 drink requirement. Which there cheapest drink is 5.00. For a soda was 5.00. The veggie platter we got like 4 slices of cucumber 5 carrots and 2 slices of celery and 1 tomato slice. For 11 dollars. And to top it off the menu said add on sides garlic fries for 4.00 but when we got our ticket it was 9. It was so busy in there that our server wasn’t very attentive, which wasn’t her fault. And to top it off, I was texting my daughter who is home by herself and a staff member told me not to use my phone. I said am not recording nor am I taking pictures and I had the phone down below the table cloth. Calm down it’s not that serious of a show to ask parents who have children at home to not use their phones. We ended up spending 50 and it was a total waste of money had it not been for the show. Plus a super Awkward location.

Kind staff that were accommodating to my friend in a wheelchair and myself. However, my front and center table 2 tickets were not accessible, and we were sat to the side in the back. I understood, but I wish I could’ve gotten some money refunded for cheaper seats or something. (Nothing on the site implied they were not handicap accessible.)But again, the staff and manager were super kind and accommodating! Great show from Eric Andre! Thank you all for everything! Fun atmosphere and I was thankful heckling was NOT tolerated. :)

Horrible place. Demanded I purchase 2 drinks or they would literally throw me out. Spoke with the manager and he said those are the rules, buy them or we throw you out. Made me pay $8 for 2 small bottles of water. Told him I would post bad reviews. He didn’t care at all. They truly have no concept of customer service. By the way, my brother was with and purchased 2 drinks and a pizza. Apparently they were hurting for money and really needed my $8.

Review №84

Felt kinda ghetto and low budget. I had to walk through a TSA type metal detector which made me feel a little uncomfortable at a place that is designed to laugh and to show you a good time. None of the employees acted like they cared or like they even wanted to be there. I probably would have ordered more drinks and food if I ever saw my server. As far as the acts, they were all mediocre with material that was not very clever or even that funny. One of the jokes used was copied from another comedian. I was very disappointed and will seek other venues next time. Felt more like an open mic and I did not feel like I was at a professional comedy club. On to the next one....

Review №86

So, I really loved the Punchline and only had one complaint that Ill get to at the end. First, its a cute little spot in kind of an odd location. You have to go the the second floor of a building and walk to the back of what feels kind of like the corridor of an office building where youll find an awning to the comedy club. Once there, it is a really cool and clean spot. The comedians were amazing, totally hilarious. Also, the staff is generally nice, the spot has speakers in the bathrooms so you dont miss anything when nature calls and everything is immaculately clean. My one complaint is kind of a two parter- 1. My opinion is that the food is meh, not great. 2. Food doesnt count towards the drink minimum. I dont drink, so I ordered a soda and a plate of food thinking that the food could cover the second drink... nope. So, I was told Id have to get a second drink which forced me to buy an expensive plastic bottle of water. I was not pumped on that. I guess I should have asked before assuming that another item would goes towards the drink minimum or I should take up drinking? Thanks for the laughs Punchline.

Have been many times to see Doug Bensons movie game show podcast (Doug Loves Movies). Great sound, great comedy, fanatic service.Its always a good idea to show up early because the seating is first come first serve. They always host very talented comedians. Their menu is good (nothing terribly unusual for a bar/comedy club but good drinks and beer/wine selection)Do your fellow attendees a favour and put away your phone, know your limit, and dont book your bachelorette party here. If youre going, be there you laugh and listen. We always have a great time.

I only clicked on one star because Google makes me select a star rating but I really want to give them Zero starsbecause when I enter punch line with only one beer in my system I was approached by punch line member and was told I was going to be started off with something to eat and a non alcoholic beverage because they thought I was drunkIts very Offensive to be approached by someone who thinks Im drunkI have Cerebral palsy And it just makes me feel like less of a person when I get approached because I look drunk and theres blatantly obviously other customers that are Belligerent And obnoxious in the crowd
