    View from row W seats 17, 18

    My husband and I attended a fundraiser at The Ice House, and we had such a nice time with the great service, good food and drinks and ambiance that we'd happily return. We easily found street parking. When you enter there is a friendly hostess at the front who told us how to get back to the main stage. On entering you'll see a wall of comedians photos that is pretty impressive. We made our way down to the entrance to the Ice Box, a private room adjacent to the stage. We were served drinks in the Ice Box, which had plenty of comfortable seating, bottled water, and drink service. I had their watermelon cocktail here, which was $17, like all of their cocktails. It was delicious, made with fresh watermelon juice, tequila, lime juice and soda water, with a slice of fresh watermelon on top. It tasted really good, but I don't think it had much alcohol in it. Next we moved into the main stage area where we first sat in a 2seater with a small table in between the chairs in the pit, but decided to move back further to get a better view and not be right in the action. The hostess was kind enough to show us where the available seats were, and she let us choose which we wanted. We chose the last row of counter seats. I think it was row W seats 17 and 18 which were just perfect for us, as the counter had a place to put our food and drinks directly in front of us, and we could see the action, but not be in the action. The seats are very comfortable by the way. The first comedian was fantastic. I wish I caught her name. I think it was Jen. Another female comedian came on after Jen and she was fantastic as well. Then Jen came back for closing. The two comedians kept us laughing throughout with their clever jokes. We ordered the Brussels Sprouts, the hamburger sliders, and fries. The bowl of sprouts was enormous, and delicious. Highly recommend. I would absolutely order them again, and there is plenty of them in one order - you could probably serve 4 people. Fries came out hot, crispy, salty and delicious. I did not try the sliders but my husband said they were good. I tried the "rising sun" drink. It was vodka, ale, lime, soda I believe and a salted rim. It was delicious. My husband had a grey goose martini which was perfect. Our server was fantastic. She helped me choose my drinks based on the fact that I didn't like anything sweet. She was very attentive and just lovely. There are plenty of restrooms. Bring a sweater as they keep the room pretty cool.

    We went to the early show that started at 7pm on a Saturday night. The show was quick paced and most of the comedy was great! There was a two item minimum. Our first two drinks were delivered before the show started, but our last two drinks were delivered ten minutes right before the show ended. We didn't see our waitress at all during the show. Besides that all went well and we will definitely go again.

    Overall, a bit hit or miss--but still a venue I'm glad Pasadena has. The Ice House Comedy Club consistently brings in some solid comedians and offers a good variety of shows, so it's definitely worth checking the lineup to find something that fits your taste. We went to see Jason Cheney, and unfortunately it seemed like an off night. At one point he even called the crowd "lukewarm," but honestly the bigger issue was that the material just wasn't landing. It happens--even good comedians have off sets--but it did take away from the experience. On the positive side, the logistics are easy. Parking is straightforward, and ticket prices are pretty reasonable compared to other comedy clubs in the area. Like most places, they enforce a two-item minimum, which is expected--but that's where things start to feel a bit overpriced for what you get. The food and drinks were underwhelming. Cocktails tasted watered down, and the food was pretty mediocre overall--not terrible, but definitely not something you'd come for on its own. It feels more like you're paying for the convenience of having service during the show rather than for quality. That said, there's still something enjoyable about the experience. The club has a nostalgic feel that reminds me of going to comedy shows years ago, and there's value in having a local spot where you can catch live stand-up without heading into LA. All in all, it's a very middle-of-the-road experience. If the lineup is strong, it's worth going. Just don't go in expecting great food or drinks--and hope the comedian is on their game that night.

    My friend invited me for an early bday gift as I was telling her I wanted to see Jiaoying. This was a Tuesday night on st Patrick's, 2026. We arrived early, found street parking. Our seats were right smack in the middle. Great view, until a tall guy sat in front of me, There is a two item minimum. Which is sorta dumb, but service was excellent! Very well organized. Since soda did not count as an item and I don't drink, I'm glad that they had mocktails. I got the strawberry lemonade. Came in a tall skinny glass with lots of ice for $12. The garlic Parmesan fries and onion rings were ok. $10 each. All in all, I had a good time!

    Tacos

    I always have a great time here! Every time I'm there I say "why don't I come more often?" I came to watch a student show and it was really fun. Note that you will have to pay for parking, the lot is across the street. You will also have (2) item minimum of food or drinks INSIDE the venue, stuff at the bar before the show does not count. They take your order up front before the show starts and sneak it to you quietly while the show is happening. Service is great. All the staff is friendly and good at their job. It's a good oiled machine. The cons for me are the food and drinks but I expect very little from food and drinks at a place where you HAVE TO buy stuff...just being real The mixed drinks come pre mixed so you can't change things. My drink was super watery, tastes like cool aid. I order fries and tacos The tacos were highly recommended by the server and I knew better....i should have just ordered the fries-that never came. The tacos weren't bad, they were just not good. They are ground meat topped with cotija cheese-they were very dry. But again, I didn't expect a lot so it doesn't make a difference on whether I'd come back or not.

    Came to see Jason Cheny, one of my favorite comedians, performance. The venue is nice, clean and good seating inside. It was a full house for the show. They have a two item minimum that can be food or drinks. Soda and red bull do not count toward the minimum items. There is a parking structure across the street, or you can find street parking free after 6pm (I think). Had a great time and would be back to watch other comedians peform.

    Parking is a hassle. $15 across the street and all around there is a fee for parking. Lucky if you find street parking. They do not take cash. Debit/Credit or Apple Pay accepted. Small venue. Very clean. There is a bar inside. There is a two item minimum. Evian water is $10 bucks. Soda and Red Bull do not count towards the two item minimum The pepperoni pizza is good. It's not too big. More like a self serving. Restrooms are clean and staff is nice. Only ick is the pay for parking and that they only accept cash. We only had cash on us on Sunday. Thankfully we had someone Apple Pay us lol. This is my two reasons for the 4 stars.

    Such a fun experience, especially for my first time here. The comedians were hilarious and kept the energy up the whole night. I even ended up being a winner, which made it even better. Great atmosphere, good crowd, and overall just a really good time.

    Very intimate comedy club. Few seats. We sat on the stage for nurse John. Parking is hard, super small parking lot on the side, you can try to find some street parking if you're lucky. We had the drinks bc it was a two drink minimum per person, kinda pricey $17 for a mixed drink. Lots of clean bathrooms and overall clean venue.

    Came here for a 49ers football watch party and had an amazing time. Food and drinks were on point all night and the customer service was top tier. Staff was attentive, friendly, and kept the energy up even during the game rush. The atmosphere was a whole vibe. Great crowd, great music, and the setup made it feel like a real event, not just a game on TVs. The location is perfect too, easy to get to and worth pulling up early to soak it all in. If you're looking for a fun place to watch a game, especially with fellow fans, this spot delivers. Definitely coming back for future watch parties.

    This is what I took home for $12.00!!

    It's SO unfair to ask guest to buy two of something they DON'T want!!! 2 drink minimum!!! I order a glass of wine(girl brought the wrong request) a peach cobbler TO GO, because I didn't want more alcohol or a $10.00 bottle of water. The peach cobble was a tiny scoop of peaches... NO CRUST!!!!!!!! Horrible experience.

    Enjoyed everything at this venue! Even though I wasn't aware of the mandatory two item minimum in the showroom, I didn't have any problem with it because it's actually nice to enjoy the comedy with food and drinks. I just wish I had known beforehand, as I wouldn't have eaten earlier. For next time, I'll remember so I can actually get a real meal. Loved the venue. It was super clean, and all the staff were nice and efficient. I enjoyed the main comedy show so much and can't wait to come back. Came for the Jeffrey Keller show. Amazing, hilarious, and so much fun. What a night!

    Do I need to print out my tickets?

    No need to print, they always scan my ticket from the phone QR code.

    Is there free parking or inexpensive parking nearby on the weekends?

    Street parking is not hard to find north of Colorado on side streets. There are pay lots on Colorado

    Are all seats bar stools or are they fairly comfortable chairs too?

    There are tables with decently comfortable chairs in addition to the bar stools right up at the bar. We sat at a four-person table that I think was in a booth. Don't remember it being uncomfortable or anything like that

    Does the happy hour count for the two item minimum?

    NO.....................................

    When is happy hour?

    Happy Hour: 6:30p - 7:30p / 10p - close (Bar and Patio only).

    Is Ice House open for business now?

    Do they release tickets for sold out events at the last minute if there are some no-shows?

    We always take a walk up wait list in the event that anything opens up.

    Is there an open mic night?

    Our Open Mics are Wednesday’s 7pm sign up, 8pm show

    How's the food here?

    I enjoy their food and drinks. I have not been disappointed yet with any of my selections. My husband has been happy too

    How large is this venue? How many people does it hold for a comedy show?

    I've been told the main room seats 200, which sounds about right. The second stage is much smaller, probably half that, if not less. They're both small, intimate rooms. Perfect for comedy.

    What is the age minimum?

    I believe 18 for the early shows and 21 for the late shows.

    Does anyone know if there is a dress code regarding hats?

We had about 80 people (including kids) at the event, and though it felt tight, at least the kids were able to hang outside to enjoy the bouncer. I rented the afternoon time frame, so we were given the venue from 2:30-9PM. The only thing that I found weird was that there was absolutely no attendant available at the end of the night. Overall, a decent place to rent a venue if you wanna DIY things yourself.

The territory is incredibly well maintained, with huge mature trees, beautiful flowers, fountains, mini waterfalls, and small ponds where you can see fish and turtles. There is also a lovely grassy area in the center where you can sit, relax, or have a small picnic. Geese walk freely around the gardens, and colorful parrots fly overhead, adding even more charm to the atmosphere. In April, the garden looks especially stunning -- the pergola and trees are in full bloom (I wish I remembered the names of those gorgeous flowers!), and the whole place feels alive and magical. Honestly, this garden is beautiful in any season of the year. You can come here with dogs, which is a big plus, but it's important to respect the property rules: pets must be on a leash, owners are responsible for cleanup, professional photography requires a permit, and activities like skateboarding, drinking alcohol, or organized sports events are not allowed. These rules help preserve the calm and cleanliness of the space. There is also a secondary school located on the property, which adds to the unique character of the place. Parking-wise, we were able to find free street parking nearby without any issues. This is a perfect spot to slow down, enjoy nature, and escape the city noise for a while. Highly recommended for a peaceful walk or a quiet moment surrounded by beauty.
