    Saw Kristina Kuzmic at a 4:30 pm showing. Had a fantastic time! Staff was friendly and the drinks and snacks we ordered were tasty. Happy that patrons were asked for proof of vaccination upon entry and all the staff wore masks. There were also hand sanitizer stations placed around and extra masks Available. Definitely recommend!

    Man be prepared, whatever you paid for tickets also requires a 2 drink purchase. And they are charging 14-16 for a 16oz beer and around the same for cocktails. Venue is nice but prepared for an extra 30 or 10 for two sodas.

    This place is iconic for the many great comedians that have performed here like Dave Chappell, Jo Koy, George Lopez, Chris Rock, and many more… Been coming to Punchline for years but stopped during the pandemic. It was a nice surprise to see the new updated look that only adds to the vibrant energy throughout the night. No matter where you are seated, thanks to the remodel, the seating is staggered so you have a clear view of the stage. Headliner, Adam Ray’s energy was invigorating and I laughed the entire time. Both openers were funny too. Can’t wait to watch and laugh again!!

    The show was great and the performers were excellent, but it was my first time at this venue and I wasn’t impressed. Extremely high prices on drinks with a required 2 drink minimum. I paid for the refill option and my refill order definitely was not a double like the menu claims. I could tell the difference in strength when comparing my first drink to my second. My thing is, you already force everyone to buy $30+ of drinks, so why not make the drinks the way you advertise? The show only cost us about $40, but almost $100 on 4 basic drinks is ridiculous. This is a main factor in why I most likely won’t return to this venue

    I didn't realize there were two places at the Punchline. Today I went to a little smaller club The Callback Bar . Here was a little nicer, more quaint location on the side of the bigger space. The bigger space has a bigger name, this place had four you and coming comedians that a casual attendant wouldn't know. However, I can see why it's called the Call back. These were funny comedians, just not completely polished, or in the case of the MC, and the final two comics, just not yet discovered by a mass audience.

    The club is small and they pack you in. Some drinks top 22.00 dollars. This is Sacramento not Las Vegas or Los Angeles. They require 2 drinks per person. We were VIP and sat in the corner and looked at the backs of the performers through most of the show. The manager was in unapologetic and appeared to not care about his job. We go to a lot of comedy shows in various locations and prefer better venues. Not impressed with this place at all. If I could give it 0 start I would.

    A great venue to see any stand up comic. Just big enough that you have a little breathing room but still small enough to feel you're among friends. We saw Chad Daniels & it was one of the funniest stand up shows we've attended this winter. We ordered a Gummy Bear Beer, a signature Sacramento drink znd 2 sodas. We also got the loaded fries. Both drinks & food were good but nothing outstanding. Prices were pretty comparable to other clubs in more densely populated areas such as Sacramento. My friend & I both agree we would not hesitate to go see stand up there again.

    Saw Erica Rhodes there on Sunday night. What a great show!!! Staff needs to smile a little more, though. Long wait for drinks. Seems like they might have been understaffed, though. Great venue. They'll get another chance to impress me on the 17th.

  • 5/5 Bill 2 years ago on Google
    The place looks clean. Food and drink is on the expensive side but in the normal club price ranges. The wait staff has been good and the bar tenders have poured decent drinks. We've come to see several shows in the last few months. We have no complaints.

  • 5/5 Max S. 6 months ago on Google
    Punch line brings in some really funny folks. Myles Weber was hilarious. It’s exactly what I’d expect for ambiance and service as in the photos. A great spot to catch some funny (and occasionally less so) people. Been satisfied every time we’ve gone so far

  • 5/5 Eva M. 5 months ago on Google
    Just watched Carlos Mencía for the first time in person and my cheeks still sore from laughing the whole time and the prelim guys were hilarious too had a awesome night no hate no fear thanks for a great night

  • 1/5 Tom T. 5 months ago on Google
    The host seated us right at the stage, and we knew there's always a chance of getting pulled in to the show, but normally, at good venues, that's ok. It's balanced and ends up being respectful. But at this venue, it quickly became clear that we were white bait. You think you're so clever, but Shame on you, and hope you're suitably embarrassed. You lost sight of the fact that we are your customers. We paid a lot of money that you need to run your business. Time to grow up.

    Went here to check it out after an appointment earlier in the day. My date and I really enjoyed the comedians. We have been to the punchline in SF and this venue is nice, very small and intimate so you get to really experience the show and the space. 2 drink minimum as usual, a little pricey but part of the set up. Wait staff was very fast and friendly. We will totally go back again when we are in the area.

    The show was good, but I ordered a flatbread pizza before the show at 7, and it never arrived. The rest of my table got their orders. I checked with the waitress twice and she said she thought it was still coming, but it would be taken off the bill either way. It wasn't. Left hangry.

  • 4/5 Christine S. 1 year ago on Google
    Crowded, too many people crammed together at one tiny table. Food wasn't great considering the price so I might not order food there but the show was great! The guys at the door were hilarious as well!

  • 4/5 Dawana G. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this little gem. Good view of stage no matter where you sit. Food is decent...pleasant staff. Please have your ticket already downloaded on your phone or in Google wallet..it annoys both the staff and the long line behind to wait while you log into ticketmaster. Lastly...be prepared for 2 drink minimum and $15 beers...I didn't say it was cheap...

  • 3/5 Marvin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun show to watch, nice staff and people. Good atmosphere. Downside is; Prices on drinks and food is just over the top. 2 drink minimum forces me to drink more than id like. 4 people total, 3 beers, 4 mix drinks and some easy bar food was 150 dollars. Also, im from out of state and not used to California prices so it might just be on me and it's normal to pay 15 dollars for a beer. Thanks for good evening

  • 4/5 Rachel R. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great night! The show was absolutely hilarious! The only reason my review is a 4 not a 5 because the drinks are incredibly expensive!

  • 5/5 Beatriz S. 1 year ago on Google
    The security guy almost ruin my night, minus10 stars for him but thanks to Julia we ended up having a great time. What a sweet and professional server. Great job, you rock Julia!!!!!

    I mean, what can I say the place is a landmark in Sacramento the overall atmosphere is great. The comedians that are booked bring their a game and the service is good. My only issue and it’s not a huge one. Is you have to go to get your ticket and show your ID and then you literally turn around to have your ID scanned with your ticket so they have to check your ID again after they just checked your ID five seconds ago makes no sense. They can do all of that at one quick swoop but other than that great place great ambience I will always go weather for a well-known comic or a newer sort of amateur night you can find diamond in the rough at this location. Look at the great Lance woods has gone on to do huge things on Amazon prime and also for the Sacramento queens I mean kings.

    Intimate venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Staff was super friendly and hospitable. Show was amazing. Saw Jay Mohr and the man's still got it. Openers were great. A hilarious evening. 2 drink minimum. Lots of great NA options too. Enjoyed the Liquid Death Mango Chainsaw. Will be back and highly recommend Punchline for a fun night out.

  • 4/5 Rebekah A. 1 year ago on Google
    A really decent place. The food was good and the drinks were solid. The two drink minimum doesn't start till you're seated so be warned if you're lurking in the bar before the show. The staff was really rad too. Hope to go to more shows here in the future.

  • 5/5 Caitlin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and drinks! We've always had good table service and the comedians are super funny! Love this place!

  • 4/5 Timothy O. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty cramped seating at tables but still an fun venue. My biggest complaint is not being told there's no take home cup for the double strength and signature cocktails. Couldn't taste any hint of ginger in the vodka strawberry lemonade. The garlic fries were pretty dang good though.

  • 4/5 Robynne R. 1 year ago on Google
    The comedian and warm up was funny, the food was good (for what it was, bar food), but we were jam-packed in there. Still a bit unexpected/odd to go in places with no vaccination or testing requirements. Overall the staff were friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 Katie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Been here 3 times so far and every time has been nothing short of excellent. The shows are always hilarious and the staff at the club are awesome! Everyone is super friendly and really makes the whole experience extra special. The food and drinks are tasty as well!
