Had so much fun here! Trivia night couldn’t have gone better, fun crowd and host. Live jazz before game time, with magical drinks. Cute venue too. Enjoyed the media wall.
This place is the most wonderful lounge/bar. They’ve got everything u could want when it comes to activities. Karaoke, open mic, comedy, trivia night you name it! Obviously on select dates tho. They are one of the only places I’ve been impressed by when it comes to the smoking area, you feel like ur inside and have the freedom because they have a cover over the pateo, very homey. Make a mean mimosa! And if you ever lose something u can trust they will work with u and help. No guarantee you’ll find it, but they will try their best. Kind staff, wonderful environment, couldn’t ask for more one bit. I’ve been here twice and both have been highlighted by wonderful actually caring customer service. You know this place is well loved by the staff and regulars. Thank you so much barrell proof! Will always be my first pick.
Great low key venue for comedy shows, music and karaoke. I've seen some fun cover bands play there and EDM DJs. They have a full bar and relatively famous comedians performing occasionally. Also, a weekly karaoke night and a nice outdoor area.
LOVE the Karaoke night! My friend Henry and his wife Yun come here often. My friend and I came to see him sing live. It was awesome! A Xmas theme to the songs. Sooo many talented singers! It was like a little concert for only $5!
There is no better place to go for live comedy and music. The bartender/owner Tommy, pours the best of wines and makes the best sangrias! We come every Sunday at 2 to enjoy the sangrias and comedy. It feels like home here.
Great local club, casually celebrating the performing arts via comedy and music. There is a performance area behind the beer/wine bar and a larger theatre in the back. Shows and events are frequent throughout the day and the week. Spend your money here to support local talent and one of the handful of places a stage is offered in Downtown Santa Rosa. Just watched a couple of artists representing the regional sound, Faethaura and Vaping By The Pool.
Support local comedy! This place has a mellow but professional vibe, and is way above what I expected in downtown Santa Rosa. I have laughed my ass off every time I've been to comedy here. The Tix have always been very reasonable. Plenty of selection of beer, hard seltzer and kombucha, I think some wine, and great selection of mocktails. One thing to note is that the bar does not have hard liquor, they make these soju cocktails but I personally avoid that kind of stuff (no disrespect towards the place, I don't like rice spirits).
