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.

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!

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!

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.

This was a cool little spot, I would come again. The first 2 comics that were opening weren't that funny but the main guy who was from Sacramento was pretty funny. It's a 2 drink minimum so you get charged either way so take advantage. Fun date night place.

SCAMMERS! I thought we didn't notice it and try to charge us this amount instead of our two drink minimum that was $22.

Ask the Community - Laughs Unlimited

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.

Hummmm, maybe…read morebecause I have a toddler at home haha but anyway I'm so glad that I was able to recently visit during a Galentine's Girls Night Out! GLL is located directly adjacent to Ace of Spaces. On this particular night Bone Thungs were performing which was super cool. Getting into GLL was easy, loved the no wait and the security guards outside were welcoming and I felt safe with how thorough they performed security checks on everyone coming in. The space is really fun, after walking up to the second floor the lounge is so open. With its warm, intimate lighting it really makes you wanna grab a drink, chill and listen to good music. Dj InkFat (who you should follow on IG, right now!) was spinning super fun throwbacks, the vibes were definitely vibing! Judy, the general manager who is super personable and sweet - was able to get my friends and I, a booth near the DJ so everything was perfect. I would recommend this spot for a potential date night spot, birthday or for your next GNO!

The vibe inside gives off a sophisticated elegance that is matched with quality drinks, a live DJ spinning beats and a friendly attentive staff ready to serve. This was my 2nd visit to Good Luck Lounge and I was with a large group with a table reserved where we pre-gamed for a concert we were attending next door. I really enjoyed the chatting with the bartender. I enjoyed the layout of the bar, there was plenty of space and I felt somewhat privacy with my group at the booth we were at. I really want to go back and try the food on the menu! Make a night of your entertainment outing by checking out the delicious cocktails and atmosphere at Good Luck Lounge

It almost feels like it should only be for people staying at the hotel but it is for anyone! When you enter, you are greeted by a hipster setting with swanky couches, vinyls on the walls, indie music, and a large bar area. The patio area is the main draw here as it is decently sized and has great views of the surrounding buildings. The pizza was pretty solid. I did not think it was going to be as spicy as it was but wow did it act like a flamethrower in my mouth. They had nice complimentary water that was easily accessible. The bar line can be long at times but the service is top notch. I'd say expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person for a drink and food. The views and ambience more than make up for its price tag. Also, the bathrooms are all gender so don't be freaked out if you see all sorts of people in the lavatory lol. Bottom line/TLDR: amazing bar!

I had been to Bawk before but little did I know about the hidden space behind it. You do need to make reservations, which I did not do. Instead I got on a list until there was a space, close to midnight and way past my bedtime, to discover this hidden gem. Once your reservation time comes up, you are escorted to a booth or bar area and given a menu. We had welcome drinks upon arrival and could choose from a cocktail list.

The space is small and intimate with serious speakeasy vibes that remind me of some of the cocktail bars in San Francisco. The drink presentations are gorgeous, and you can tell a lot of thought goes into both the flavor and how everything looks when it arrives at the table. They have a great selection of gin, rum, champagne, and whiskey, and I often lean on the staff for drink suggestions because they're really good at recommending something you might not normally order. A few times now they've pointed me toward a drink that ended up being a hidden gem. I've been here a few times and it's always a great time whether you're catching up with friends or doing a date night. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs well with the cocktails. It is definitely on the pricier side, but that's part of the experience. Also, because the space is small and intimate, reservations fill up quickly and they do require a deposit, which goes toward your final bill. Helpful tip: make a reservation ahead of time and don't be afraid to ask the staff for drink recommendations -- they're excellent at guiding you to something special. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.

Second, the dance area also doubles as the walkway to the bathrooms and service area for the bottle girls/staff so expect to be pushed and shoved the whole time you're there.
