As expected, most comedy venues are extremely small, barely any elbow room. I liked the fact that the mandatory 2 item purchase was at least reasonably priced. Entry and exit is chaos and confusion, as there is only one entry and exit. I'd return if the comedian is a MUST see. Good luck with parking too. You're best option is to take Uber/Lyft to the venue.

We decided to check out Laughs Unlimited in Old Town Sac. Ticket prices were pretty reasonable at $25 per person, but there is a catch: once inside, there's a two-item minimum per person. Service was impressively quick--just two staff members were handling the entire room, and our food and drinks came out fast. The food itself was okay; we ordered the chicken ranch wrap and the chocolate cake. However, the two featured cocktails we tried were pretty disappointing--basically sugary syrup in a glass. The comedy, though, made up for it. The first comedian gave us some solid laughs. The second performer didn't really land with the crowd, and the room got pretty quiet. But Nancy Lee absolutely killed it--she had us cracking up the entire time. Overall, it was a fun night out in Old Town.

Wandering around Old Town and decided to give this place a try. Got the tickets right as we walked in, not too bad, then started drinking and hanging out. Be warned that there is a 2 item minimum AFTER you sit down for the show, and anything you get in the bar before that does not count. This would have been more ok to me if the food and cocktails weren't what I would call, absolutely awful. You gotta stick to beer/shots/wine if you go here, the cocktails are absolutely awful, just a bunch of sugar crap thrown together for the sake of making the cup a pretty color. You have been warned. We also got the chocolate cake and a ranch wrap. The chocolate cake tasted FULLY BURNT across the entire top, like it was sat right under a broiler. The Chicken Ranch Wrap was fine but it was quite strange to see olives falling out of it right off the bat. The hell do olives need to be in a crispy chicken wrap for. The comedy itself was fine, but the performer in the middle absolutely bombed, little to no laughs from the entire crowd, this doesn't reflect on the comedy club though, just happens. Nancy Lee on the other hand, pretty fun, we enjoyed that part.

Laughs unlimited has been a staple in Old Sacramento since 1980. It's a great place to have a fun time, the owner Jenny is amazing, the bartenders make the best tasting drinks!!! the staff is so wonderful pleasant and friendly, not to mention the kitchen staff goes above and beyond, I've had their quesadillas so good and when I ordered the nachos they give you so much loved how fresh everything was they even have a hummus wrap for a great vegan option everything is worth the price!!! The buffalo chicken dip is to die for, there are a good amount of different varieties of food available. Great natural lighting from the skylights during the day, and when it gets dark the lighting is just as amazing plenty of seating in the bar area and surrounding the bar very nostalgic. The bathrooms are clean and stocked with toiletries, in the show room lots of tables and seats to enjoy the show, the stage is nice and lit very well, they have shows quite often it depends on what days they have comedians, you can pre buy tickets online or pay when you get here it's reasonably priced at 25 dollars a person with a two item minimum but it can be soda or water or alcoholic beverages, non alcoholic cocktails or even food. On Saturdays and Fridays they have double shows one at 7pm and another at 9pm, during the week days it's one show at 7pm. I recommend this place Stop by and laugh your ass off!!!

-I received 2 free tickets for my birthday month to pick a comedy show of my choice. -2 drink and 1 food item minimum -Parking lots nearby as street parking in this area can be challenging -Sound and visibility is good What I wasn't a fan of: -Sticky tables, uncomfortable seats -Slow service, took about 20 min to get drink orders -I ordered coffee, they forgot cream/sugar. When I asked for it I was given a bowl or creamers (good), and a box containing some opened honey packets and used sugars. It's dark during the performance so my hand went into the sticky goo. I wasn't thrilled about that.

2 item minimum with your ticket purchase - items can be food or drink and do not have to be alcoholic. If the bar is open, you can sit and drink before the show but those drinks do not count toward your minimum. Their food and drink prices are better than other local comedy show venues. However, the nachos were weird. The cheese was warm but not melted, it was almost plastic. The quesadillas were good, but had quite a bit of crusty tortilla on the end where the cheese did not reach. The drinks tasted great. The service was quick and our server was kind. We saw 5 local-ish comedians and it was okay, but nothing special. Our tickets were only $10 so we didn't expect the best ever. We did laugh though throughout the night!! The chairs were SUPER uncomfortable. It didn't feel like they even had cushion on them. They also swayed and felt like if you leaned over it would break.

This place is great for date nights, friends gathering, birthday celebrations and anything you can think of to lift your spirits. You'll definitely enjoy your time here! Tonight I got to see our local comedian Carlos Rodriguez! I had the nachos with chicken and a beer! There's a two item minimum and the staff is great !

This is a fun night out if looking for something fun to do. We were lucky enough to catch Heath Harmison this past Saturday and the dude was hilarious. We laughed until our face hurt! Venue is pretty good but drinks are not that great, they were very sweet so I ended up choosing bottled water for my second required item. Chairs are not super comfy either but it was fine for a couple hours. A very fun night out!

Overall my experience here was a miss! The comedians were all great from start to finish but the venue was a mess from start to finish. My boyfriend and I arrived around 9:24p for the 10:30 show so we decided to sit at the bar and grab a light drink before the show. We weren't sure if the offered food at the bar however 1. I knew the two item minimum inside and 2. The reviews on the food seemed horrid at best so drinks it was. To start the bartender was efficient and attentive so 5 stars there. The drinks there were fine. - raw experience began to go downhill when there was no rhyme or reason to hold to enter for the show. When I say it was an unorganized mess it was chaos. For this to be an established business with a long history of hosting events *SIDE EYE* just NO! The "line" or lack of was just all the patrons attempting to gain admittance to the room we all we're collectively stating the line situation was a mess. -Cue the second thing that made the experience a miss. word of advice fire everyone in the kitchen because ABSOLUTELY NOT! My expectations were below the bottom after I read the minimal reviews on Yelp but decisions had to be made as we had 4 items to run the tab up. BOTTOM LUNE EVERY ITEM WE ORDERED WAS TRASH In no particular order, -Nachos there was maybe 6-10 small pieces of chicken for the additional $3 we paid and even without the chicken added the nachos were blah at best. Our entire table was talking about how disgusting they looked lol. The beans were on the bottom and barely accessible and the cheese was shredded and not warm and gooey at all. - ordered another vodka and cran and paid up for Tito's.. did not get Tito's even tho we paid for it - ordered one of their signature mocktails it wA nothing to write home about. -finally we tried the one thing I saw a good review of and that was the lava cake and scoop of ice cream. It's the next day and I am still mind blown at how you can mess that up. The lava cake tasted burnt and just NO. I don't even know how to explain the taste but it was pretty bad. To make matters worse the baby scoop of ice cream just made me mad -_- Overall i wouldn't suggest ordering any of the above mentioned items or the salad and hummus (the other party at the table was not impressed) Since you have to order two items per guest do yourself a favor and order basic drinks but not their signature cocktails/mocktails The two stars that were earned were the comedians were hilarious and the server did offer great service 5 stars for that. As for returning I'm bummed that this is the place comedians choose to come and have their audience send their hard earned coins. They have a few other comedians coming that looked interesting but we will be ordering fountain drinks and grabbing food somewhere else around the venue.

Came here for a local comedy show, purchased the ticket on their website. Located in Old town sac, there's street parking that's metered until 10pm and has a 2 hour max, and there's a parking garage nearby. I thought the front bar waiting area was the actual venue but there's a showcase area, it's pretty big, bright lights, forward facing chairs, the menu is via QR code and you order through the server. There usually is a 2 item minimum which includes bottled water and food. Their cocktails are ok, more on the sweeter side, I got the island train or something, one of my friends got an old fashioned and it was a fruity old fashioned. Their chicken strips looked good and their quesadilla and Buffalo chicken wrap was all right. Nice big venue With bathrooms.

Tonight was a great break from the quarantine of the 2020-2021 pandemic. The entertainment was perfect. The staff was friendly but not intrusive to your experience. The wait staff was all in masks to make you feel safe and comfortable. The lack of the fifth star is because of the food. However, you don't go for the food, and if you follow me, you know, I only reserve a 5-star rating for exceptional venues. This was an experience I will have to do again and again. The one 5-star thing was the drinks for me. I was the designated driver as always, and the none alcohol drinks were fire . I would go to order the Shirley something cheer drink.

My fiancé and I at Laughs Unlimited for date night!

We had an amazing time at laughs unlimited! It's kind of pricey to get in for show especially considering there is a two item minimum per person you have to buy during a show so that brings you to around $50 a person just for one comedy show. But it was totally worth it! My fiance and I had a great time and the comedians were hilarious!

Are all shows outside right now?

No, as of last Saturday 5/8/21, they were having shows inside and out.

Is the seating assigned for the comedy show?

Sort of. When they check you in they have a hostess that leads you to your seat/table. They basically fill in the place row by row instead of letting people pick their own seats

“We paid $20 per person for entrance and then there was an additional 2 drink min per person, so we ended up spending 60 bucks for an hour and half of entertainment.”

Came here for a birthday dinner and started at the bar. Love the cocktail menu here, had their take on a Moscow mule. For Tuesday night this place I had a surprisingly large amount of diners. There was a keyboardist/vocalist performing as well which added to the atmosphere. Started with the tartine with topped with triple cream brie, date compote, pistachios. Two pieces of bread were topped with the cheese and toppings, tasty but don't think I'll be ordering this again. Loved the beet salad except for the dressing which was a bit too tart for me. The chicken was interesting with the cucumber salad on top. The coldness of the salad combined with the warmth of the chicken was a bit odd. Beautiful presentation however, I will give them that. Finally the profiterole for dessert presented itself as more of a glorified cream puff rather than the profiteroles that I had in France - smaller puffs accompanied with ice cream. Perhaps my mistake was thinking this would be more traditional. Perhaps they were a bit short staffed this evening, but service was slower than I would have liked. It took quite a while to get someone to take our order and despite making the reservation stating that it was my birthday, nothing was done until this was brought to their attention. We were given two complimentary glasses of champagne however. Would totally return for the bar experience, but for dinner I would try somewhere else.

Fantastic Spot To "Pregame" Shows @ Goldfields Next Door…read more SITREP We descended upon the Tack Room an hour before our show for "Ally The Piper" (both the classical AND heavy metal bagpiper extraordinaire) began her show! THE SETUP Goldfields is a charming, rustic country-western stylized saloon that serves up beer at good prices. But we weren't interested in beer and wanted quality cocktails. Hence, our pivot next door to the Tack Room! QUALITY COCKTAILS & DRINKS! The Tack Room specializes an amazing array of martinis, bourbons, and other deLISH cocktail drinks at really really reasonable prices! So this was an excellent choice to chill, thus avoiding the tremendous *noise pollution* we were immediately subjected to upon entering Goldfields an hour later for our show. THE LOWDOWN This is a quality bar with plenty of comfortable seating to relax and have quiet, intimate conversations. So if you and your later friend(s) want some privacy, cocktails at a reasonable price, etc., this is a good way to go.

It's themed around horse racing, but not in an overbearing or... tacky way. The mixologist was delightful and had great recommendations, the lights were dim, and the drinks were all on point. The highlight was the espresso martini, which is among the best I've had. It was reminiscent of the one I had at the Starbucks Roastery in NYC, which is high praise. The other coffee drink that surprised me was the Revolver. I always forget about what a good pairing orange and coffee is, and I'll be taking this one back home with me to try! Every other drink we tried was delicious in some unique way. The Pho drink was savory and surprising, the New York Sour was rich and flavorful, and the Practical Move was refreshing. Will definitely return here after dinner to sip an espresso martini for dessert!
