The service was great, I have been to this venue a few times for different things and they always do a good job accomodating people and with really good service. The show was well lit and the sound was well balanced, when you are at a comedy show that is very important to be able to hear and see the act you are there for. All in all i give this 5 stars would totally go there again to see comedy or a multitude of other things

Carmen Lynch was hilarious and totally not what we expected. It was a pretty light crowd for a Saturday night show probably because of multiple sporting events going on during the same time so we were able to get 2nd row seats, which was great! The Virgin Sex on the Beach drink I ordered was as good as I remembered it to be although at a much higher price (due to inflation over the years?) Highly recommend checking out ACME Comedy Club for some great laughs. Love that we get to have a nice variety of comics that visit Minnesota!

At first, most of the audience thought what was going on, was a bit. Then security came, then the headliner left the stage, then the audience member had to be ushered out. Props to Acme for deescalating the situation so well and props to the headliner, who had to continue her set. What a show! Pros: - Fun atmosphere - High caliber comedians Cons: - Random people coming on the stage

Seems a missed opportunity for revenue. I know we would have imbibed beyond the first round we bought ourselves on the way in. Then there was the show, "Hypocralypse Now", which was amusing in spots but never exceeded expectations. Good, not great. I would compare the place to Second City in Chicago, in terms of ambiance and atmosphere, and Second City doesn't always hit a home run either. This was fun, and we loved all the taunts of the current vile administration, but perhaps MAGA is too easy a target.

I've been to many shows over the years - the most recent was the original improv show written by…read morethe troupe: "The World is Burning, Let's Make S'Mores"! Oh, it felt good to laugh ... and laugh ... and laugh some more. The talented and creative actors made it easy, giving their all to the audience in song, dance, costume ... you name it and they brought it. The theater is on Hennepin Avenue, a black room with seats and tables surrounding the stage. There is an elevator, a large staircase bathrooms for men and women, and a small bar before you enter the theater. A lovely space for a show and relatively easy to navigate for food, parking, etc., even with a stroller (this is NOT a kids' show) or a person using a walker or wheelchair.

I took this post down as a part of a deal that was struck so if anyone was wondering why it was…read moretaken down and re posted. The deal did not work out as I thought so this is a review from last November. ‐------------- It was a rough night we purchased tickets for the event in saint paul at the double tree and we decided into turning it into an evening. We booked a room at the double tree hotel where the event was and upon arrival we were told they were overbooked and had no rooms available. There will be another bad review coming soon for that catastrophe. But sat Nov 5th we had 2 tickets for one of thier events and after the hotel catastrophe we were like its all good we will enjoy the show then get another non hilton hotel. We wait in line with our tickets in hand that we purchased on eventbrite and we go to check in they could not find record of us. Talk about bad luck we showed them the tickets and after 10 minutes of interrogation like we were thieves trying to sneak into their show they told us they can setup a small table basically isolating us like the black sheep of the event. We were then told there was no food available because it was all pre ordered but we can watch the shoe and basically watch others eat from a far like if we were in the Christmas Caroll movie. After a while they were like we can get you guys a chicken meal. They must of called the chefs to see what scraps were available to throw something together for us. We requested a manager and well none were magically available. We asked for a refund and well because it's via eventbrite we need to request it from there. Well on eventbrite because it specifies there are no refunds now we have to fill out some sort of form and hope that the message was relayed from management to eventbrite to refund us. It was a very uneventful evening and this will cause lots of back and forth and phone calls to resolve this issue even though we were told it be simple. I doubt that this was even brought up to management and we were told anything just to get us to leave. Lesson learned ..stay away from shady hokey establishments that sell snake oil.

The GM came out to address us not abiding to the 2 item limit - very unprofessional (PARKER - wrote his name so sloppy was probably drunk as well) very rude and condescending, he made several excuses for his under the influence employee ignoring us.. but stood on having to buy 2 items or leave. Mind you the kitchen was closed at this point. We are almost an hour into the show. I told him i'm not buying anything after being ignored for an hr and also asked if he wanted us to chug 2 drinks w/ less than an hr left of the show and having to drive home. He suggested we buy 2 bottles of water - each. ABSOLUTELY NOT SPENDING A DIME.. or penny here. After some back and forth about it he said he can offer comp tickets to any other show - WHY THE F would we come back again?! Definitely putting the wrong people in management. The point was we were ignored over an hour, there's nothing you can do for me at that point. I'd never sit at a restaurant over an hr with no service and still spend my money there. It did escalate to security coming to kick us out. Thats where the employees showed their true colors. Just trashed. Yelling despite a show going on. Going back and forth OVER the GM. Just disgusting behavior from GM to drunk servers to drunk host. Hard pass on any show being hosted here.

The Pillbox Tavern is an absolute MUST STOP if you're in downtown St. Paul!!! What a fantastic…read morebar/restaurant that has a little something for everyone. If Jenn and Chad are bartending, you're In for a treat. Fantastic customer service, bartenders that smile and seem to enjoy their craft as they work. I was in St. Paul for 5 days and spent 3 of my dinners there. N/A beer selection was a nice plus. They carry an impressive line of Tap beers from all over the country and their kitchen backs its reputation with great quality food! (Full bar, plenty of liquor and a great wine selection also) There's plenty of outdoor seating available also along the street, which is an open-air compliment to the restaurant. TV's cover every spot you could ask for, with a MONSTER main screen on the bar wall.... Not sure its size, but it would be calculated in feet, not inches! There is not a plethora of options in St. Paul for restaurants, especially in the downtown area. The Pillbox is walking distance to the Grand Casio Arena which is fantastic and most downtown hotels are only a 5-7 minute walk away. I spent 19 years in the restaurant business. From doorman, to buss boy, server, to bar tender, bar manager to general manager, I've managed restaurants similar to the Pillbox Tavern. I openly and publicly give them a huge shout out for their customer service, food quality and atmosphere....and additional kiddos for the upbeat environment their staff portrays. If Jen and Chad ever move to Chicago, they could write their own tickets In restaurant management or ownership. If you're looking for a place because your visiting, this is YOUR ONE STOP SHOP! If you are local and haven't tried it yet, you need to establish a new watering hole! If you're lucky enough to meet regulars like Tony and his wife at the bar, you Might just be rubbing elbows with some of the nicest people in St. Paul! Cheers to enjoying a smile on the rocks with new friends at The Pillbox Tavern. -Brad

It was a drizzly evening so we opted for inside but with garage doors were all open. Our waitress was great. She was helpful and nice. The food/drinks were quickly served to us. I ordered the margarita (comes with a buzz button) and the Big Bang Shrimp Tacos (gf). Everything was absolutely delicious! The tacos are served on corn tortillas (3). The sauce on the tacos is to die for. Marg was great and came with a buzz button which I've had before elsewhere but that was a fun addition to my cocktail. It kind of tingles the inside of your mouth when you chew on it. It lingers for a couple of minutes (the tingle sensation). I'm looking forward to coming back cause their menu looks ahhmazing. Cheers!
