Great space for a more intimate comedy show. Food was decent. Had a good time! Con: I don't like that they have you close out your tab while the comedy show is still going on, 'cause then I'm missing parts of the show. But I understand that they want to clear things out as soon as it ends. read more

We watched a comedian in the main room and it was comfortable. The host sat us up front even with a general admission price. We were also very pleased that this venue does not require a food/drink minimum. We ordered nachos appetizer and added chx katsu. The serving wasn't huge, the price was high for what you get (to be expected at these type of venues though) but it was pretty good. We also ordered a chocolate martini for $18 and a Dr. Pepper for $9 which came with VIP admission for 2. The chocolate martini was not on the menu but the server checked with the bar and they were able to accommodate. It was pretty good. Overall, we were happy with the venue, the comedian line-up, the quality of the food/drinks, and ample free parking. Compared to other comedy places that have scarce food options that gave me tummy aches, and only served well drinks, Mic Drop was top notch and would definitely be back. read more

We had a great first time at Mic Drop last weekend. I personally love the layout of the place, and the service is on point. Next time we will have to try the food as well! Whenever the next comedian that we want to see is on the roster, we're there. P.S. - And we met Adam Ray too, which was awesome... read more

Honestly I'm here for a PSA. Don't sleep on the Carb-Tini. It's a Mac n cheese martini glass with the Katsu chicken AND fries. It's also three dollars cheaper than any other entree. Big enough to share. Joe Fenti's a funny guy. read more

Mic Drop Comedy - Carb-Tini - Comedy Clubs Near Me - San Diego, California

Mic Drop Comedy is hands down the best comedy venue in San Diego. The shows are consistently hilarious, the vibe is intimate and energetic, and there's honestly not a bad seat in the house. Staff is super friendly and on top of everything, and the food and drinks are way better than you'd expect at a comedy club. Huge bonus, no drink minimum, which makes the whole experience even better. Perfect spot for a fun night out, I'll definitely be back again and again! read more

I've been here multiple times in the past couple of years and one of the most impressive things to me has been their emcees. When I was there last week McKay hit it out of the park. They have a good bar with a solid selection of beers and hard stuff (they likely have wine too...just not my bag when I'm at a comedy club). No drink minimum, which is also appreciated. They have a good food selection as well; I don't normally order food at comedy clubs, but when I have ordered it at Mic Drop it was pretty good. They get nationally recognized talent; from my experience there will often be one of the openers who I don't find to be too funny, the rest generally range from solidly funny to ones that cause me to laugh so hard that I can't seem to stop. read more

Loved the show with Tony Rock April 4, 2026. We had a great fun night and lots of laughs. Can't wait to see him at the Apollo.

We had an awesome time seeing Dustin Nickerson. The staff was accomidating and helpful. The drinks were yummy, a little pricey but I expect that for a comedy club. But I was impressed with the drinks and my husband and I had a great time with our friends. We were able to sit together and laugh the night away. read more

Mic Drop comedy had tasty hearty eats if in the overpriced side. I think their model hinges partly on patrons coming to see comedic shows and being on the hook for dinner. additional 4% service charge on top of tip and high price of the meal, $20 for a large to medium sized pretzel with cheese sauce. pretzel was soft and tasty, cheese dipping sauce was delicious, only the price left a bad taste in my mouth. Booth style seating matches the vibe and purpose of watching a comedy show but cramped. read more

This was my 1st time here @Mic Drop Comedy thanks to Fred's Play land for the tickets. Parking wasn't bad, for a late night show.. I ended up parking near the courthouse. Show was at 9:30, doors to sit down opened up around 9:20 ish They have a bar to order drinks in the in the lobby while you wait. Let me just say this... drink and food prices are $$$$. The table set up is a little off compared to where the stage is.. but it worked. I'm so glad I was able to see one of the original Queens of comedy Adele Givens, she was funny. Her opening act... can't remember his name... he wasn't so funny... at all IMO. I do have to say it was a little distracting hearing loud crack up laughter I guess from another comedian performing same time in another room. I had no idea there were other stages. Overall we had a good time. read more

First time here. Had a great night here seeing a comic I've been following for some time - great to see her in person. We were in the smaller room. We came to the late show and only had drinks, but the drinks were great. The service was also very good, and it's a good venue for comedy. Can recommend and will return! read more

I've been coming to this comedy show for a long time and always had a great time, but lately the experience has gone downhill. Since a new staff member was hired, the energy has completely changed. Their attitude is negative, unwelcoming, and you feel it the moment you walk in. Unfortunately, this has now led to two bad experiences in a row. Most recently, a comedian asked me a question during their set. I responded, the comedian made a joke from it (which is normal at a comedy show), and then the manager came over to my guest to say we were "heckling." That made no sense -- I wasn't heckling, I was participating the way the comedian prompted me to. It's frustrating because I used to really enjoy this place, but the vibe and staff interactions have shifted so much that it's no longer enjoyable. read more

Visited 5/4 to see Adele Givens from Sef comedy jam, Queens of comedy & plenty of movies. So happy to get to see her & not watching her on TV or movie screen. She looks really well & hasn't hardly aged. Funny as ever! And her last show here in San Diego is tonight. Definitely check her out for some laughs. Also saw a comedian A.G from NYC. He was okay. Now they serve food & drinks during the show. Last time I wasn't too impressed with the Nachos. However all of us tried the fries & were blown away. You could roll us out the side door. The price was a bit high for them $14 but not bad we got a 3rd order. Good time & great company & we rolled with Fred's Playland. read more

SUNDAY FUNDAY! This place has come a long way since the old days of the former Greek Comedy Palace! The interior remodel must have cost a few $100Ks! It's elegant, yet modern and even glamourous. Even better is that I scored free tickets. The quality of shows will depend on the comedy and your personal sense of humor...the three black comedians I saw were all absolutely hilarious!!! Hostess and server were both friendly...though the server could've made more money had she come by our table a second time for more drinks. Beers are $9, and they offer a beer and shot combo for $14. Also FREE parking! Will be back! read more

Came to the 9:30 show to see Ms. Pat and it was VERY cold and we were in line past 10! DISRESPECTFUL! read more

I have been to other comedy shows and this one was by far one of my favorite venues. The seating area was intimate. If you come early enough to get a table or a booth it's so worth it cause the food is delicious. We ordered the nachos, salad and chicken strips with fries. Everything we had was good. Service was friendly. Too dark inside to take pics of the food when it arrived the comedian was on stage. Fun night out for group or date night. read more

1st time and ran out of katsu chicken & Hamburger fries and called them Philly cheese fries. Salty as ever. Horrible! Price for drinks too high. Service sucked. $50 for a comedian that was not comical. Just wasn't worth it. Show started 2 hours late. Drove down from Riverside County. Stood in line for 1.5hr in the COLD! No one should have 2 shows back 2 back if you're gonna have a meet n greet. Should have went to see Katt W. Won't happen again. read more

This place was great! They book some really great performers. Both of the opening acts as well as the main performer, Dulcé Sloan, were hilarious and had my sister and I laughing so much. I was also sober too lol. For food, we opted for only dessert and shared the Poison Apple, which is described as, a gooey brown butter cake w/ whipped cream, caramel, and spiced apple chutney. We also added ice cream, which came in a bowl on the side and was a generous portion. The dessert was sweet, rich, and extremely filling! Honestly, I would rate this place a 4.5. But that's not possible, so I gave them a 4 for three reasons, the first being, you are extremely packed in - if whatever event you are attending is a full house, then you are going to be sandwiched in. On the other hand, the venue space was really cute! So that's a plus! Secondly, upon arrival, when you are getting ID'd and sorted into your designated show, it feels a little unorganized because not much is getting explained. You just kind of go with the flow, but everyone is confused and a lot of information (correct and incorrect) are getting passed around lol. Lastly, parking is free and there are spots available, HOWEVER, we did have to circle around for 20 minutes to find a spot because this location shares parking with a few other businesses. read more

Mic Drop Comedy - I love all the details and decor! - Comedy Clubs Near Me - San Diego, California

What drew me to this place first was there was no drink minimum, which is great for people who don't drink. Plus the prices are very reasonable. The biggest downside of this place is that they really pack people in like sardines. I was seated to the very left of the stage and couldn't really see the performers at all. Jiaoying Summers, the headliner, was very entertaining. My date and I split the King of Hearts, which is just carne asada fries. They were really good and I enjoyed the type of potatoes they used. Overall, I would say this place is worth the price. Just gotta pray next time I get a better seat. read more

It's my favorite comedy spot in San Diego right now. First off, free parking! Centrally located and easy to get to. Make sure you purchase tickets online in advance. Don't arrive too early, or you'll be waiting awhile, and you can't really hang out at the bar or anything until your entrance time (which is an hour prior to show) When you arrive. It's pretty easy, you go to the check in line first (on your right if facing the building) then you wait in line to be seated (it's the line to the left if facing the building) they seat you in order or arrival, so depending if you want to be close or not will determine if where you are in line or if you have vip tickets. Overall, every seat is close, so don't worry too much about it. Once seated, the server will come around and take your drink and food orders. The food is so good and so are the drinks. They have some really cool picture worthy drinks on the menu. I'd say everything is pretty reasonably priced, which is really great. The only downfall is how packed they have everyone. I mean, if it's a sold-out show in the main room. You're definitely going to be right next to someone to where you can even put your jacket or purse anywhere, but your lap. We did see a couple tables open on top and asked about it but we were told it was in case a bigger group comes in and then no one ever did so no one sat at those tables and we stayed squished. But overall, the comedy was great. The host, opener, and headliner were all amazing. The food was delicious and everything was great. The service was good and everyone who worked there was nice. My husband and I went for our anniversary, and it was a great date night. I could see us coming back with a group of friends. read more

The worse service. We literally didn't get any waiter service to order food or drinks the whole time we were there. I had to go outside and call the waiter. The waiter came and then took another persons order and charged everyone their bill before taking our order. The comedy show was horrible and the comedian Shar is pretty racist. She was calling Mexican cock roaches because she was going to fight one the day before and she said how she hates Jewish people but referred to them as Jews. Definitely not worth your time or money. The waiter knew we were uphappy with service and gave us 2 free VIP tickets but that was pointless because I don't ever want to come back. We went on Saturday for my birthday and it was the worse way to spend my birthday to be honest read more

Came through to see Deray Davis tonight. The SHOW WAS EXCELLENT! He is super funny. The night opened up with Ray Lapinski, who was FREAKIN' FUNNY!! Ran into my fellow YELP ELITE SHAY M. tonight! It was so great to see a friendly face and know that another Yelp Elite was in THE HOUSE!! We did VIP which gives you a great booth seating and you are right dead center with the stage, well worth the price. Our party arrived early and seated early as VIP. For the whole night, we ordered two rounds of: A Paloma, A Dulce "Margtini", 2 Other Martini drinks, A Nachos with Skirt Steak, Veggie Tacos, and Chicken Tacos. Everything tasted great. The nachos with skirt steak had some black beans on it with no flavor, and there were chunks of fatty meat throughout, so that was not the movie. Next time I will try the tacos because everyone who ordered them said that they were good. Our server was Austin and he was very customer service oriented, even though he was super busy. You come for the drinks to a comedy show and they REALLY MAKE GOOD DRINKS here. I will definitely come back. read more

Always a great time! The comedians that perform here are really good! Also, I love the vibe and the food and drinks are really yum!

Thank goodness for county office parking lot, otherwise there would be NO parking close to this club during opening hours. Visited this spot to see comedienne LUNELL - you will be sandwiched in but wait staff is able to take orders and return in a timely manner. Everyone was accommodating, polite, apologetic and attentive. Enjoyed the evening - would revisit on a less congested night. read more

This keeps coming up on my feed to review although I reviewed before, but I guess I'll do it again. I would definitely go back to Mic Drop. It was our first time. The only challenging thing was parking other than that food was decent. Gary Owens was amazing. His opening act was amazing. We took advantage of the meet and greet and the signed T-shirt with the photograph. We would return in a heartbeat if our schedule allowed for it and if it was just a bit closer to North County. all in all great place great staff. Great customer service. The wait in line is not over the top. read more

Went to see Corey O'Brien-hilarious. I had seen one of the openers before and they are so funny even seeing them twice. I love this venue because it has big names but is still intimate! Also our waiter was the best. I asked for two different menu modifications and he was super nice and accommodating. And that was one of the best flatbreads I've ever had. I still think about it. read more

It was my first time here and I had a great experience with my friend. I found this place online after searching for comedy clubs close to my friends house. We purchased tickets to see Emma Willmann and got there about 10 minutes before the show. It was not necessarily packed but it was a good group of people. The place is decorated wonderfully with the Alice in wonderland theme. We had dinner earlier before the show so we ended up only each having a drink and shared an appetizer. I loved and appreciated that there was not a drink or purchase minimum. As far as drinks, my friend had a glass of wine and I was not in the mood to drink alcohol l so I ordered their "strawberry burlesque". It was extremely refreshing & delicious made with ginger beer, strawberry and I forget what else but I highly recommend it if you're not in the mood for alcohol. We later shared an appetizer of their fries known as " My girlfriend isn't hungry" lol and they are basically almost like potato wedges and so delicious. There were about three or four opening acts before the main headliner came out. All were great and we really enjoyed ourselves. Our server was great so we made sure that the tip reflected that. read more

Mic Drop Comedy - Inside - Comedy Clubs Near Me - San Diego, California

Very cute and hip location. There is a cute bar area in the front once you walk in and then in the back there are two different rooms for shows. The whole place is Alison wonderland themed and they did an amazing job with the decor. The music is bopping, but the noise level is a bit high. You do have to raise your voice to have a conversation. The waitstaff were very friendly and patient. They checked on you the perfect amount through out the show. I ended up ordering the chip and I was half disappointed. The salsas that it came with either tasted like ketchup or super watered down salsa. The guacamole was mid but queso and the chip consistency were very good! The signature mixed drinks were delicious. Also this place is fairly expensive so keep that in mind. Over all I would go back for the drinks and the comics, because the show was fantastic. I heard the other food was better so maybe I'll try something else next time. Side note: There is plenty of parking and it was a very accessible location. read more

Service 5 stars! Love the queer staff and the diversity of everyone who works there! Also they were very attentive. The only thing that was not great were the nachos. 0 stars on those- no cheese, mostly just chips, don't get them! Large mock-tail menu which is grey for a sober person like me! They did run out of their virgin espresso martini which was really sad. It was also a holiday and a sold out show, so weird that they weren't stocked up. I love the cleanliness & the decor. A lot of comedy spots are run down, but this place was super fancy feeling! read more

This comedy club had the best food and drink menu I've seen at a comedy club. I didn't taste the food bc we went out to eat before, thinking the food wouldn't be too good. It's still your typical foods with extra good ones like bulging i bowls and such. I did try their chocolate martini and it was so good! They do change the dessert martini flavor so check it out when you go. The service was top tier for a comedy club (clearly you can tell I had low expectations). I was asked if we were good about 3-4 times during show which was great. We also received water twice without having to ask for it. My only "complaint" was that the tables are a bit too close to each other and not enough space for the server to walk around so you do have to move side to side but it's not too big of a deal. We had a great time! As always when going to a comedy club I suggest the earlier show time (7pm) because the show afterwards (9pm) always starts late due to the place having to be cleaned up, meet and greets, etc. I would go again. read more

Decided to check this place out on a Friday night and it was cool. We arrived a couple minutes before the show began and got checked in. As you walk in there is a bar and a lobby like area for you to wait to be seated. They have two rooms, the night we went the main comedian was in the main room and the other room was open mic. The decor is really cool in the main room Alice in wonderland themed. Seating had tables and booths along the wall. It's a bit tight but it works. The service was a bit busy. One tip is to come early to order before the performer comes on stage and if you don't want to eat in the dark. We ordered drinks since we ate dinner beforehand. Drinks were good. The comedian was great. The openers were ok. I would recommend coming here, looking forward in seeing other comedians here. Parking was easy they have a huge lot. read more

All three comedians were excellent! Mic Drop management is miserable. We were there for the late show. Arrived at the venue at the recommended time and then stood outside for 45 minutes until the line finally started moving. Sat inside for another 45 minutes until showtime. Selected our drinks from the menu, but our table was never served. Not even a "hi, I'll be right with you". Totally ignored. Never did know who our server was supposed to be. Restroom was at their last few squares of toilet paper. I would return only if the comedian was someone I wanted to see. NOT for the business. read more

We been to Mic Drop Comedy many times. The shows are typical pretty good and pretty fun. We don't typical like all the stand up act but majority are funny. The one star removal is the service stinks. It took over 25 min for us to order another drink even when we asked. 3 waiters could not take our drink because he was not a waiter. One time we order food and drink and they never came. They were on the bill but we never got them. They need to work on the service portion more. read more

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, it did. I had another visit to the club and not only did this charge a 4% service fee on the food, there's a little note at the bottom that says unsigned checks will automatically incurred a 20% gratuity. I don't think I will be attending any more of their shows. I tried my best to help by bringing dozens of people in, and the way they thank you is by charging you extra for bringing in gas, adding extra service charges, and even adding a gratuity if you don't or forget to sign your check. It's just thievery and I'm done with you guys. All the hundreds of people that follow me and probably would have enjoyed the club, they won't be coming. I can't believe the business practices. read more
