    This is a cool comedy club in a fun part of the North Loop. There is lots of street parking nearby. PRO TIP: you can stop by up to 2 hours before the show to claim your tickets - that is when you get your seat assignment, so the early bird gets the worm! I haven't heard great things about the food, so we went to dinner elsewhere and then came to Acme for comedy and drinks. We had a great time and really enjoyed the two opening acts and the headliner. All together, the show ran about 1.5 hours. Great value as well, so I really recommend Acme to anyone who wants a good laugh!

    My best friend invited me to a show for his birthday celebration on Wednesday, 5/21/25. I learned you get 4 free tickets.... Yes, I'll be taking advantage of this moving forward. We arrived at 7:30pm to pickup our tickets at the box office. The gal who helped us was very nice and pleasant. She allowed us to pick where we wanted to sit and carried on a small conversation. This was my first time to Acme Comedy Club, I noticed there was a restaurant to eat prior to the show and a bar area in another section. I laughed SO hard this evening. The comedians lined up were great and I cannot wait to return soon. There's a parking lot across the street and street parking is also offered. Wonderful first experience!

    Had a great time last week and laughed SO hard throughout the entire show. One of the best lineups on 5/21/25. I love how they offer 4 free tickets on your birthday month. You'd be silly not to take advantage of that. I believe Monday or Tuesdays are their open mic nights.

    Sticks at Acme Comedy Club was such a great restaurant with delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere. I had the shrimp linguine and white wine which was so delicious! Our server Neil was super awesome and accommodating and made our experience amazing by giving great recommendations! After dinner the comedy club was so great as the comedians and the entire family were laughing (the headliner was Tommy Ryman) 10/10 would recommend and will be returning!

    My friend and I recently went to a comedy show and decided to have dinner in their dining area before the show. When we arrived at dinner we were greeted by the host. I noticed that the decor feels the same as 20 years ago. Our waiter arrived at our table and he seemed like he was knew and didn't know the menu very well. We ordered a bottle of wine, dinner and added salads to our meals. When the wine arrived he didn't open it or pour the first glass. I feel like that is a normal practice when you buy a bottle of wine but I could be wrong. Our dinner arrived but our salads didn't. They should have arrived before dinner but the waiter must have forgotten. The dinner was good and overall tasted good. Once we were done with dinner, we were seated in the front row for the comedy show. We had a blast and the comedians were hilarious. The waitress came to check on us many times to see if we wanted more drinks. I will come back for a show but I might try out another dinner location in the area next time.

    I'm not sure what to expect as I've never been to a comedy show before but online there wasn't much guidelines on the website besides when to arrive to pick up the tickets. I did that and we had a drink at the main restaurant area, took a long time the server was very busy. Not his fault but we had to also wave him down to pay out so we could get seated. Irritating. Just bring the bill right away we just ordered drinks. The server inside was very nice and upon learning that it was my birthday did accommodate us with a free birthday shot, I requested a lemon drop. She helped us get another round when needed and also brought me a water when I asked. The seating was AWFUL unfortunately this is where things really went wrong. Apparently, they were understaffed, because we were waiting for an usher for about a minute and none came. My friends and I along with others waiting just walked in and we were confused by the seating. Went back out to view the ushers helping two drunk idiots who flailed their arms onto my friend earlier so I was like um hi we need help and they were like no I'm busy and I said "no you are going to help us first we were here first" after being told I did the wrong thing when THEY are understaffed (according to themselves) why wouldn't they have one usher stand at the podium and one usher people in. The chairs were pushed together and tables cramped with white mens arms (mandacity) 2 inches from pushing our drinks off the table. When my friend asked the man to be conscious of our drinks all he said was "do you want me to move my arm?" IDK GENIUS. YOU TELL ME. The ushers also told us to be quiet like this emoji and yet when we called them over to ask what we did wrong (engaging with the comedian when prompted) they ran away from my friend. Ushers were absolutely horse sh*t. Didn't even ask about seating preferences I have an unruly bladder and I would have rather sat somewhere easy to exit. Would literally never come back here the only good part was the comedy and the blonde waitress with big earrings big smile who helped us when we were in our seats. The tickets were free for my birthday but we spent about $100 on drinks including tips $14 carafes x 4, beers x 2, free lemon drops but we tipped $10 and $20 on the comedian's vinyl. Take with that information what you will. Parking for this location is also troublesome if you can't get a street spot. $10 evening rate for the lot across the street.

    Had such a fun time seeing comedian Sahib Singh! Haven't been here in prob over 12 years and it was so fun and intimate I can't wait to come back. It definitely could use some refurbishment and some of the seats etc look a bit old and worn but overall a great time was had. Really good value for money and all 3 comedians(openers) were really funny,audience was great nobody talked or played on their phones during the show. Staff were quirky but nice. They have a decent bar selection and wine was cheaper than most places,only had cheese curds for a quick bite before so can't comment on the food. Parking across the street in a lot ,good price for downtown Friday night

    Open mic  set list in July 2021. Sign up in bar two hours before show! Who knows who you'll catch?

When I go to new cities, I typically seek out food that is specific to the region and thus a little more interesting to me. You can get a burger anywhere, and a cheese filled patty, aka a "Juicy Lucy", didn't sound like something I needed to try. But my husband kept talking about it and really seemed bent on having one so we decided to come here to try it out. We showed up during their happy hour, from 4-5pm, and they had $5 draft beers. Score! It's a cute place with ample seating, nice natural light from the large windows, and a relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the Juicy Lucy, a burger patty stuffed with cheese and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and pub sauce. I chose the Impossible patty version, but you can also get it with their house made black bean burger. Hubby chose the Garlic Girl, a black bean cheeseburger topped with bacon (also made in-house), berbere aioli, lettuce, and pickled onion. Each burger came with fries. Both burgers were spectacular and delicious in their own way. The bacon on hubby's burger was incredible, and his burger was rich and satisfying. By my Juicy Lucy, oh my... Every bite was a flavor explosion and intensely delicious without being a gut bomb shockingly. To top it off, the fries were super crispy and just perfect. WOW is all I can say. Note that while the prices may seem a little higher than what you might expect, Francis Burger is a no tipping establishment, as stated on their menu. For the quality of the food and the great service, it was well worth the price! I'll be back if I'm ever in this area again.f

Before we even got there, we could smell this place, a GREAT sign! The hostess was lovely and guided us to our seats right away! The first thing I noticed was the decor is slightly dark and moody! Perfect for a romantic date! Plenty of candles flickering on each table! The kitchen is open, so it was fun to watch! Our only complaint is that the tables are fairly close together and a 2 person table is so small! It kept us from ordering more food, because there would be no place for it to go! Our server was nice. She originally forgot our drinks but admitted it and got them right away. We appreciated the honesty. Our water glasses were always full, we were given wet naps after our delicious wings and plates were taken promptly! Food: We each started with a drink. I got the banana bread old fashioned which may just be my favorite cocktail! My boyfriend got a beer and said it was "ok." We started with the truffle fries and smoked wings in the flavor rum chili. Holy moly! Both of those were spectacular!!! The ranch was just ok, I would probably get the blue cheese next time. Truly though, you don't need to dip these wings, the flavors are amazing on their own!! For our main course, we got the 14oz New York strip steak cooked to a perfect medium and the scallops! Both were out of this world! Very well done! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone! It is truly a gem in the cities!

Not sure where to go and tired from the flight, I headed down to the lobby and walked over. When I asked if I could get a table for 1, she asked me if I would be comfortable with eating at the bar. It was a Sunday night, so I think she wanted to reserve tables for parties of two or more. I was fine with it, but I noticed there were quite a few empty tables. A few days later, I had lunch with a Colleague here. We got seated at a table, and the service was really good. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we kept our lunch within our time requirements so we could get back to the conference without issue. The food was really good.
