The Punch Line is a San Francisco classic. It's a small cozy club that has great entertainment. There's a 2 drink minimum and drinks start at $6. The food is ok, not great, so don't come here to eat. But if you want to have a fun time watching comedy close up this is a great place to go.

The comedic material was not good, except for one comic. Server was super rude, beverages were obscenely expensive (water was $6!), service was slow, and the entrance isn’t easy to find either

The punchline was a very nice experience & the staff was nice too. I would go back to the Punch Line to see more shows. I got to meet and greet with Josh Blue and the other comedian and I got a picture and signature initials from Josh Blue, it was an honor to meet him.

The Punch Line is THE most prestigous and storied comedy club in all of northern california. The club is in the heart of san francisco near bart with ample parking nearby.

Inside of the venue it is very intimate for a space which has famous touring comedians from all over the country. Sundays are my favorite because they showcase some of the best up and coming local comedians in the bay area.

A historical establishment for comedy. I've seen the greats here. Robin Williams. Louis CK. Dave Chappelle. So many memories. I hope there will be more to come here. So intimate. So beloved. So needed. Please don't go away Punch Line.

Do you like to laugh? What about drink alcohol? Well attended he punchline you can do both at the same damn time.

It's a great venue that's a bit weird to get to. Once you climb the two flights of stairs you'll be aimlessly walking around the building trying to find the entrance. Men seem to find the exit first which is just so typical. Anyway, once you find the entrance you'll be seated with very strict rules.

Apparently if you move a chair 1', you're going to have problems. They are a bit weird about moving chairs which is ok by me, but why not bolt them to the floor if that's going to be an issue?

No heckling is allowed, so if you're British, you're not going to have a good time. So sit down, shut up, and drink.

Drinks are ok if you get anything but the cocktails. They pour a good beer straight from the tap - can't go wrong.

Lastly, you may want to order ice water because it can get super warm in there. So be warned to dress in layers.

Omg Dan Cummins was awesome! The opening act was great and the staff was friendly fast and phenomenal! I have no idea how they remember each tables orders without a fault. But they did it just made a fun experience that much better!

Great location that is small and very personal feeling. Service is good, but food and drink and a bit expensive. Definitely worth it though to see a performer you like.

Staff are rude, drinks are overpriced and there’s a two drink minimum. Asked to be move to a different seat after waiting in line and being one of first people in the venue - staff responded aggressively and seated us in the back.

Really nice up to date club. Perfect size. Decent selection of bar food and lots of cocktail choices. Tickets go through the evil empire live Nation so you will be hit with exorbitant fees to buy tickets online. We got them at the box office. There is a two drink minimum and the drinks were mostly $12 so keep that in mind. Overall we had an excellent time. The service was great! I would highly recommend it.

Well, it's a great comedy club but don't ever upgrade to reserved table seating. You will pay extra to sit further away than if you just arrived early. Waste of money!

I went for a free show it was stoner comedy night. They inforced the 2 drink minum, like the mafia. I did not notice the 2 drink minum rule on the menu as it was dark in venue. I ordered a root beer float (remember I said this was a stoner comedy night) the manager kept shining a bright light at my table. I did not want a second root beer float. The waiter came up and demanded I order another drink. I got a shot of Jameson to appease them. Now what if I was driving? Also I was sitting with other people who where drinking and would have drank more than 2 drinks if the waiter would have not made them wait forever for another round. Over all just a bad experience. Just charge me an entry fee instead of forcing me to drink. I will not be back and neither will the 6 other people I brought to the show.
