We came here on a Wednesday night for a women only comedian lineup and really had pretty good time! This is the third or fourth comedy bar that we've been to around the country and I feel like they all have a similar vibe. Generally packed, generally decorated with pipe and drape and generally pretty overpriced for food and drink so it was OK! The outside walking up to it looks pretty legit as opposed to other establishments that were down an alley or in a basement - it's definitely a very welcoming front facade. All around... A-OK! read more

My wife and I went in January to see David Arnold and had a great time. I highly recommend paying a little extra and getting reserved seats as the wait for general admission is very long. Having said that I don't think there is a bad seat in the house and you feel very close to the stage. There is a two drink minimum and the prices are fair. They have a decent craft beer selection and there are several breweries in the area. read more

I went to the punchline tonight for the elite show for Dolce Sloan and as my first time at a comedy show I can not say enough. The bar: me and my friends arrived a little early to pick up our tickets from willcall. We had some time to kill so we sat at the bar. I had previously looked up the menu online and didn't see my drink on the menu (sad) but the bartender knew exactly what I was talking about and made it up for me. Super exciting. He also served us our food and made incredible drinks. He was excellent and attentive and was the first of many incredible experiences. I got spring rolls with my comp app cause of the sauce and the Thai chili sauce was awesome. The venue: small but not clustered. Perfect size for a comedy show where the comedian can connect with everyone in the audience. There are tables throughout the venue so everyone is seated. It's comfortable. There is a two drink (or food) minimum per person once inside. They offer ways to make that easy. Think a drink with a carafe. The show goes on a while so the drinks are easy to go down in that course of time without being too much The show: I wish I could do this every weekend. Genuine laughter from everyone in our group. The two openers connected with the audience and found a way to meet each persons needs. dolce was the same. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time Overall, I will without a doubt be back. Most likely sooner rather than later. read more

I love visiting Punchline. I have been here for numerous comedy shows, trivia nights and pre-concert (at the Fillmore) happy hours. It's always a fun time and with great drink specials read more

I've been here twice for comedy shows and had a great time each time. Both times I didn't have an issue getting into the venue-there was no line to get in or pick up our tickets and security quickly wanded us. Maybe it depends on the show you're seeing but we were in in just a few minutes. Punchline has a 2 item minimum which food and non-alcoholic drinks count towards. We ended up ordering just 3 items and they didn't give us a hard time which was very nice. The pricing for drinks and food is normal. We split a margherita flatbread which was good for bar food. I would stick to drinks here though. Before buying tickets, I suggest checking goldstar or Groupon first. There's usually heavily discounted tickets. read more

Definitely cannot recommend the big wig brunch anymore it was phenomenal. The drinks were great, food was great, and the laughs were original read more

We actually came here for a Yelp Elite event and it was ok. The show was pretty good with lots humorous jokes about sex and relationships. My 3 stars come into play because the food wasn't too good for the price. The drinks, which were mandatory weren't strong enough for what they cost either. They definitely make sure that you do the 2 drink minimum thing by hovering around until you order a drink. Out waitress was pretty cool about it though. She told us that food could be counted as part of the 2 drink minimum. Overall I just wasn't satisfied with what $65 got us. I didn't care too much for the seating arrangements either. It's was really tight and cramped with 4 of us at a tiny round table. It was barely enough room for all of our little plates and glasses. Maybe next time will be different. Next time? Yup, a second chance will come! read more

I came here for the first time as we received free tickets from the Yelp Elite Squad. For the comedy itself, I would give 4 stars. It was our first time here and we enjoyed it and I would come back. Some of the comedians were not very funny at all. The host and the last two comedians, including the headliner, Erica were fantastic. For the food, I would give it 2 stars. The food is expensive and it was not good. It did not taste fresh and it was not hot when it came out. If they are going to require a minimum purchase of two items per person, then the quality should be much better especially for the cost. I ordered the margherita pizza and it was not hot and tasted like it was frozen and not fresh. We ordered the hummus as an appetizer and paid extra for vegetables with it rather than just pita. The vegetables included a couple pieces of the ends of celery stalks and raw zucchini...very odd and not good. Can't say I ever had raw zucchini with hummus. I would have rather had cucumber, carrots, peppers etc...basically anything else. Overall, I would come back for another comedy show. I will probably just stick to drinks for the two item minimum next time. read more

The plus side... - The sight lines were amazing. Great room for performers I'm sure. - It was surprisingly comfortable for a big guy like me. - The popcorn shrimp wasn't bad. - The level of performers they attract are top notch. Vir Das last night was amazing. The negative... - It was confusing going in. We would up standing in the box office line for 10 minutes even though we already had tickets. It looked like it was the line to go into the showroom. The people at the front door don't tell you anything. - When we got to the seating area, no one bothered to check our ticket. Seriously I could have walked in off the street for free. - I'm ok with a two drink minimum. I just wonder why ordering food doesn't seem to count toward it. If I'm paying $10 for popcorn shrimp, that should count. I'd come back if there was a performer I wanted to see. I wouldn't go there on a whim. read more

I went to PunchLine's drag brunch the other week for my friend's birthday. I have never been to a drag show before, and was excited for the new experience. One of my friends who was there said that he had been there before and that the food was mediocre. He did, however, say that the biscuits and gravy were pretty good, so I ordered that. I am somebody who gets really disappointed when I waste calories on a bad meal, so I was pleased that I enjoyed my brunch. It had good flavor and did not leave me feeling overstuffed or hungry. The show, however, was a disappointment. For the most part all the drag queens did was walk around the room lip-synching and collecting money. There was not much of a performance, except from the one black drag queen. She was phenomenal. If everyone had performed like her, this would be a much higher rated review. read more

I like this place, laid back came here recently to see a comedy show the staff is Amazing, thanks guys!! You all rock, HOWEVER YOUR DRINKS where the worst and I and not even a drinker!

So, I'm big on comedy. Life is too hard not to find time to laugh. When my favorite comedians come into town they are usually at The Punchline I recently went to see Ali Sadiq and had a great time. The seating was a lil ugh. But in all fairness I was late as ever. Sometimes the service can leave a little to be desired but all in all its a good time. I gave them 5 stars because of the quality of comedians they have visiting. read more

Do Not Go To Drag Diva Brunch. I never got served and this is certainly not worth the $35 ticket. The performances are great but I'm starving while everyone around me is eating and drinking merrily but no server will help me. Eventually Was able to go to the bar to get the mimosa included in the package. I repeat: Do Not Go To Drag Diva Brunch Update: staff will look at you when you need help, and turn the other way. Service is horrendous for those who did get to order food. I can't even get water. read more

Punch Line Philly - This is the mimosa that comes with the $35 ticket. - Bars Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have not gone out to many comedy events post covid, but my first experience to Punch Line was pleasant, albeit very strange as I've never ventured into these venues. Parking is a challenging as the paid lots are often full and transportation in and out can be a hassle. As for the venue itself, it's clean, well lit, and the service is on the ball to make sure you order your drinks as part of the show. We ended up staying a bit longer towards the end since our checks got lost in the shuffle, but at the end of the day, $3 for water x2 is a low price to pay for a date night. read more

We had a terrific time last night at Punch Line. It was for one of their Comedy Allstar line-ups, 4 local comedians & we really enjoyed each one! My experience may differ from yours because I hosted a group of 13 people there, but I must say that everyone was laughing & having a good time. I love the set-up with tables & waitstaff service. And the room is large but has a very intimate feel, no bad seats. Punch Line does require a two item minimum (must buy 2 drinks or 2 food items or combination of both). We go to a lot of places, and I think the food & drink prices are in line. The menu is pretty mainstream which makes sense, but remarkably good! Many in my group were surprised, thinking Punch Line might be over-priced or not care about the food since its a requirement, but honestly its just the opposite. Looking for a night out & want some laughs? Punch Line is a terrific option! I'll definitely bring my group back again (and again!). note: if you're looking to get out, explore Philly, and meet new people, take a look at my profile for info about joining one of my Network of MeetUp Groups. The link in my profile is for "Adventurous Foodies - Philadelphia" MeetUp group (free to join) -- hope to meet you soon! read more

Came to Punch Line Philly in the beginning of July for a meet and greet / drag show. When we arrived we got our bracelets and were told to sit at the bar until a crowd or line formed. Punch Line has a two drink minimum. It's required once you are in the showroom. -- Although I knew about the minimum, I didn't realize it was only in the showroom. So I ordered a beer out by the bar thinking it would contribute to that. My fault. We also decided to order an app because we were starving. We ordered the margherita pizza. It was pretty good! The crust was so flakey making a mess everywhere though. Once it was time to form for the meet and greet, they had a line literally wrapping around the outside of the building. Things went pretty fast which was nice. The staff was definitely efficient in getting everyone in and out. When entering the showroom someone will guide you to your seats. Our table was directly, front row and center of the stage. What luck! Once I was informed that our outdoor drink didn't contribute we were talked into ordering the larger margarita because it would count as two drinks and we would be hitting our minimum. It was $48 for two margaritas (ridiculous) -- not to mention it tasted like juice. Made our stomachs hurt quite a bit after too. Three stars for the staff / out door bartender / pizza. I definitely would come back for another show, but Punch Line is just your typical comedy club. Nothing out of this world. read more

Tonight my husband and I drove to Philly from Baltimore for my hubby's 55th birthday. As we looked at the shows that were going on we decided on David Lucas vs D.L. Hughley bc DL only roast his guest... well Lucas was worse! I was extremely embarrassed! He used the N word 150 percent of his joke. Although his audience was 149 percent white! He had no prepared jokes and blamed everything on his allergies! Worst comedy show ever!! Those tickets wasn't worth $5! read more

I have been to the Punch Line a few times now (Annie Lederman, Sommore, Ms Pat) and every time has been a good time. The venue is very intimate, nice, and there is not a bad seat in the house. However every time I've been I've had a problem with the drinks. Way over priced, weak, and overall not good. I understand it's the normal city price, but these are just not worth the price. Another thing I have an issue with is the seating. Sometimes there are high top tables for 2, but generally a group of 2 will share a table with another group of 2. Not only is this awkward but the tables are very small and packed together. The service has always been good, and if you arrive early you always get the best seat. The 2 drink minimum is normal for comedy clubs, but I'd recommend sticking to a beer, soda, or water. Don't waste your money on the cocktails. I will continue to come to the Philly Punch Line. read more

The show was great. Our waitress, however, wasn't. She definitely stole 20 dollars from me (she actually tryed to take all 74). I paid 74 dollars in cash, then someone paid 70 on their card, and then the rest on another card. The waitress came back with the credit charges, with no 74 cash deducted. Said she got 74 dollars in cash and that it was a "mistake". My friend went over to make sure she did it right and then she claimed she only got 54 dollars (ah, she confirmed prior she got 74 dollars so wtf happened). Obviously pocketed my 20, I gave her another 20 to just get the hell away from us. Wanted to ask for a manager but didn't. Check your checks and credit cards. Idk if we'll be back, ashame that one waitress ruined it for us ( I brought a specific amount so I know she lifted (stole) the 20 from us, it was so fun otherwise. read more

They pull you in with free or cheaply priced tickets. The food lacks taste or flare. The drinks( a double shot) of scotch was over priced and not measured properly, I was with a Bartender who immediately made note of it. The up side the comedian Tourae(sp) was funny as hell!!! read more

Pros--Great comedians & not a bad seat in the house. Had a great time saw Jay Pharoah & good price for tickets.. Cons-the 2 drink/food minimum is crazy. Had a 945 show we had already ate & we are non drinkers so orders 2 drinks & chicken wings. Food was blehh.. wouldn't have ordered any food had we not had too. read more

Fun trivia game, but the venue/waiters were kind of unfriendly, unforgiving and slow. Although this is a comedy club, the speakers weren't working for the first 30 minutes. The cheesesteak egg rolls weren't filled with cheese, just dried meat and it came with a weird semi-jalapeno dipping sauce for 8 dollars, not a great deal. Buy tickets at the door if you can, you'll save a bunch on fees! read more

Never went to punch line philly to have a drink or sit at the bar but I have seen 2 comedy shows here and it's a 2 drink minimum which isn't too bad. It's an excellent place to go to if you are looking for in door activities. There are usually 2 shows a night on the weekends and multiple acts for each "headliner". The seating is table seating so if you have a big group you should arrive somewhat early to get a table where you can sit together. The shows that I have seen have been great but I am giving the establishment a 3 stars because the staff interrupt your enjoyment of the show so you can place your orders. The way it is set up is very nice, and it is a great comedy venue, but there should also be times when staff are allowed to grab your attention away from the performance. read more

Poor customer service, lots of weird rules for a comedy place. Helium is a much better experience. This place has potential if they just had better service. They say seats are first come first serve but also don't let you pick your seats. Even more, they won't let you hold a seat with a paid ticket. They sat us off to the side and refused to let us change with half of an empty room. Bathroom is also sticky before the show even starts! Good location and good price ruined with poor service. read more

What a good night with good friends. The venue is intimate. however the room can be expanded and also has VIP tables in the back. Our waiter was present all evening going table to table. All tabs were closed out prior to the end of the show so we were all able to exit when the lights came up. We saw Dulce Sloan. Her opening act was funny as she was too. The tables sit either 2, 4 or 6-8 from what I could see. General Admission is sat based on your party. I liked that they sit your party so people aren't just roaming around. I only had a water ($5), but my girls said the French fries and egg rolls were good. That pretzel roll, while I didn't get any feedback smelled amazing! There is a two drink minimum for alcoholic beverages. It seems they are currently transitioning from two item to two drink minimum so just check with your waiter if necessary. read more

Well, what can I say? I attended a show here with my dear friends to see my "Bubbe" Natalie Levant dazzle the masses with her schtick with several other female comics. I traveled over an hour by train to get here. I was cranky with post-SEPTA stress syndrome. Not for long. The very moment that I stepped on the door, I was impressed. I was greeted by a surprisingly polite and friendly security team at the metal detector . They were all smiles and warmth. The club itself was very clean, modern, and the antithesis of the seedy comedy joints that I've grown used to. The bartender greeted my as if I'd been coming for years (it was my first time) and made a lovely vodka and 7 for only $7. I fully expected the prices to be higher. So I was happy about that because, I was kinda broke but, couldn't let my Bubbe down and miss this show. Again, the bar was super clean and the ladies behind the bar were all sharp (even in just tee-shirts and jeans) and looked professional and lovely. Again, all smiles. My gal pal and I were escorted to our stage-side table and the room itself was fantastic. There didn't appear to be a bad seat anywhere. The crowd was still coming in and it filled up pretty quickly. Great stage! Our server, Tim, was an absolute Doll. We didn't order much because we already had eaten. Next time, I'll go hungry because the menu was terrific. She had the caesar salad and finished the entire thing without ANY complaints (totally unlike her). She loved it. I had more fabulous V & 7s and enjoyed the experience and great service. My night was complete with a truly talented cast of comediennes, professionals each and every one. I loved the show. My Bubbe killed. She was a hit! But, we knew this already. Lol. I highly recommend the Punch Line, I applaud the crew that helped make my night so memorable, and take my hat off to the managers that make the wheels turn. I will be back very soon! read more

It's located right across the street from Sugarhouse Casino on a small side street that also has a restaurant, rock-n-bowl bowling alley and the The Filmore. The layout of the street reminds me of the city streets you see on a back lot movie studio tour. Very cool. Inside Punchline, it's warehouse-esque with a large bar and patio seating. In the comedy room most of the seating is not private unless you're with a large party. If you're a party of 2 you'll sit with other people. They have table service for drinks and food. The menu is small but adequate. Chicken fingers, fries and grilled chicken Caesar salad were fair though we really had no expectations for fine cuisine. The 3 comedians were excellent. Service was pretty good although our server visibly showed his dismay when we ordered diet sodas and not alcohol. I really can't understand why since they're $5 each, so we spent $30 on sodas instead of booze and we also ordered food. Overall it was a great night. Parking can be difficult. We parked at Sugarhouse and walked over which turned out to be very easy and convenient. read more

Punchline is a fairly large comedy club in an up and coming part of Philly. The venue itself is pretty nice. It looked like there was an outside patio area (that was likely closed due to the cold weather. When you first walk into the venue, you'll walk into a room with a bar and box office. There seemed to be ample seating in that area. After picking up our tickets, we were escorted to our table in the main room. Seating is on a first come first serve basis so make sure you arrive early if you want to be close to the stage. There were some VIP tables along the back of the room and a small bar on the side. There is no flash photography allowed once the show starts. Keep in mind that there is a 2 drink minimum that does not include food. I ordered the "sucker punch" which I absolutely loved! The presentation was great (and unexpected) - the drink came with a cherry and cute cocktail drink umbrella on top. Totally picture worthy! Our waiter wasn't too attentive but he was nice enough. I asked for a couple glasses of water at one point... which he forgot to bring out. We finally received them after asking a second time. I had an enjoyable experience at Punchline. It's a cool venue and its an added bonus that it is close to a bunch of bars. I would recommend and definitely come back again. PRO TIP: check out Groupon for cheap tickets. I purchase a voucher for two tickets for $12. You can't beat that price! Also, don't forget to take advantage of the $5 off $20 check in offer for Yelpers! read more

The food here is overpriced and TERRIBLE. Even the most basic thing like wings and fries weren't great. Like most comedy places, your forced to order two items a person on the menu so only come here if you really have to. Spare yourself the mediocre food and drinks. The comedy talent is pretty good though. read more

I came for a Yelp Elite event with Mike Vecchione. This was my first time here and as such I was very excited to get the invitation for this event. The venue is right next to the patio area for Goose Island. Upon entering your ID is checked and you are given a stamp on your hand. There is a 2 drink minimum per person. But that can be fulfilled with soda not just alcohol. A hostess will walk you to your table. Most tables seat 4-8 people, so you will be sitting with other parties. The venue is small so there is no such thing as a bad seat. A waitress comes around to take everyone's order before and during the show. There were 2 opening acts and then Mike came out. All three comedians were very good and I was really entertained. The churros were delicious. All in all I had a lot of fun. And will definitely be returning here. read more

The interior of this new venue looked clean and the security people at the door were nice. But my first experience here was super weird and uneasy. First, some tickets to see two relatively unknown comedians at this venue showed up mysteriously in the common area of my office. I took them because I thought they were extras from someone in my office who had purchased them, and I know that my office is filled with people of good taste. They were labeled as $15 tickets and I didn't want them to go to waste. Turns out, many people in the 400-person line I stood in had the same strange experience, and that the tickets were actually free "crowd filler" tickets. Marketing folks who came up with this idea, you may have influenced my behavior this time, but mark my words, this trick is not going to work on me again! As some reviewers from the same night pointed out, the line did wrap around the block, but only 2 or 3 people within my hearing range in line had actually purchased tickets with the intent of seeing the performers. (I mainly heard crickets when a staff member called out to see if anyone in line was holding a "paid" ticket.) Apparently, they had given away way more free tickets than they had the space to accommodate, which resulted in a large chunk of the line being turned away after waiting over an hour to get in. Many people were understandably disgruntled - both for the wait, then subsequently, for being turned away. I personally would have preferred it if they had let us know that they would only let in "X" number of people with free tickets before or as we were lining up, rather than after we had been standing outside at night on a desolate/run-down/warehouse-y block below the highway for almost an hour. It seems like the reason why it took so long was because they did not have a procedure in place to keep track of how many people entered the venue, so they couldn't tell how many seats were left until everyone inside sat down, and only then did they let in more people from the line. We were lucky(?) enough to be the very last people they let into the building, over an hour after we had arrived. Entry is pretty standard - they check your ID and your bags, and then give you one of those neon Tyvek wristbands. The ticket check-in station was not clearly labeled and no instructions were given upon entry, such that when I was walking along trying to figure out where I was going, a hangry girl in a line to my right barked agitatedly in my direction, "Hey!! You need to get back here!" Although there is a 2-drink minimum, I got away with not drinking anything (not even water) because no server ever got to me. A server brought a burger to our table, even though nobody ordered one. The show was all right - I felt bad for one of the performers at times when jokes were met with silence or the sound of people getting up from their seats. The thing that bothered me the most about this experience is that I was influenced, without my knowledge, to participate in making a performance seem well-attended (over-booked in this case), when in reality it wasn't. It's a form of deception and doesn't sit well with someone who is always willing to help struggling artists, and all one needs to do is be direct and ask. read more

This review is only for the food/bar area; we did not see a show. So, why the heck were we there? Punch Line has a deal with the Fillmore to essentially get you a fast pass ahead of the general admission line. I couldn't find great information online ahead of the show, but figured I'd try my luck anyway. The bar was very busy, loud, and pretty much a hot mess. Our server was trying hard, but seemed to have way too many people to take care of. We ordered dinner, which was grossly overpriced. I literally spent a week at Disney the week before going to Punch Line and this was still horridly overpriced. The partner had fish and chips, which was a basket of fries with two very small pieces of fish ($16; he said he would have wanted/needed two more). I got a cobb salad, which was served to me the first time without any meat (sorry, for $14, I'm going to complain when you don't include the meat). It was incredibly small and, like the fish, priced at least double what would have been just generally overpriced. It was also served with a vinaigrette, which was pretty weird and gross for a cobb salad. So, I doubt anyone cares too much about my complaints about the food; does anyone actually go here expecting something that isn't overpriced and not great? Let me tell you how the Fillmore passes worked. At the end of the meal, they stamp your receipt and indicate the number of people in your party. Then, you go across the street and the Fillmore staff will direct you to a "Contenders" line for Punch Line customers, which is separate from the fast pass line (and also separate from the general admission line). For our show, they started the Contender line and the Fast Pass lines at the same time once they opened the doors, which was a great surprise (I had been assuming we'd be like Southwest B group). So, the stars on this review are for getting into the venue early. read more

I have to say Punch Line is a pretty cool venue for a comedy show and the variety and quality of the talent they're bringing to town is great! Inside the venue itself it's a first come first seat situation unless you pay more, so line up early if you're there as a mega fan. There are more columns here about midway back so there could be line of sight issues, but it did look like they took pains to avoid issues with table angles etc. towards the rear. We were seated halfway back and felt we had excellent seats. They also have a great outdoor seating area and the bar area just outside the venue is pretty chill for getting there early to kill some time. Bathrooms were kept clean, the servers quick and unobtrusive-- my order had to be asked after but I didn't even care because the fries arrived soon after, were tasty as heck and I was enjoying the show! Also, parking over at the casino is super easy if you want a hassle free experience! read more

This is my second visit to Punch Line Philly, as I was very pleased with my first experience. I saw Annie Lederman back in November and really enjoyed the show, so I got my boyfriend tickets for Christmas. We went last night to see Chris Porter. The venue radiates warm vibes, from the dim lighting to the close set up of tables to encourage conversation. There was colorful stage lighting illuminating the pipes on the wall in the shape of the Philly skyline. We were seated at the end of a table next to two couples who did not seem to know each other. This set up can be awkward for some, but with this welcoming environment it was very casual. The openers were funny, specifically enjoyed Chip Chantry. The main act (Chris Porter) is hilarious! I had not previously heard of him but I thought to give it a go. He had an awkward sense of humor and played on his quirks perfectly. The wait staff was great and very attentive, refilling drinks and placing orders for several tables in a timely fashion. We went with the Yards IPAs and a margarita pizza, which was delicious. It had a garlicky crust and a pesto sauce with cheese and tomatoes. Very good, would recommend as a snack for two. I previously had the fries and soft pretzels on my last visit and those were also yummy snacks to share with one or a few others. Very reasonable prices and the perfect place for a good laugh. Will most definitely be back for some drinks, snacks, and fun with friends! read more

I purchased tickets for a date night for our 4 year anniversary and let me tell you that the comedians did not disappoint! The atmosphere is great and it was such a great time that I'd love to do this again. However, I have to give this venue 3 stars for the simple fact that not a single person stopped by our table during the first hour of the show. Mind you, we were seated directly in the front centered by two empty tables, so we could've been spotted easily. By the time someone had finally stopped by to take our order, it was basically the server's attempt to get a few more drinks in before the bar closes. I was so disappointed as I was beyond excited to try a few items on their menu. Hopefully during my second visit my table doesn't get left out again. read more

came here for the spice girls drag queen brunch and had so much fun! i personally came for the show and it was great... they definitely could have played more spice girls songs but for the price of the ticket it was worth it. the ticket includes a brunch dish and a free drink. the drink was decent but the brunch was pretty awful BUT for the price of the ticket, i think it levels out. i got a cinnamon bun burger, my burger was way overcooked, my cinnamon buns were falling apart and my potatoes were ice cold but i didn't really expect punch line to be a 5 star restaurant so that's fair all in all, i'd definitely come back here for a show but not for the food read more
