There is a two item minimum at this place but they don't tell you that drinks under six dollars don't count, not on the menu, not on the show description when you buy tickets. So I couldn't get a Red Bull or a soda or anything without also buying a ton of food. Also, when I did ask for drink, I asked the waitress twice and she never brought it to us. read more

The Ice House - Pasadena - Two items minimum policy without disclosure that it has to be a six dollar drink. - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

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. read more

It had been a minute since coming out to the Ice House and back then it was still a bit dated. That said, I was pleasantly surprised to see the major facelift it underwent. To start there is a main entrance that features a giant polar bear (homage to the "Ice House) adorning the entryway. On either side are customer service counters. The walkway / hallway that leads you to the "old" part of the building is adorned with headshots of current and past, famous comedians which lands you in the cozy bar area. Back in the day this was the original waiting area and it didn't afford much space. Now, this leads to an open patio with seating and a two-sided bar that allows you to order from inside or outside, dramatically minimizing crowds. The patio added such a nice ambiance as the company did a great job of streamlining the decor with already existing brick and mortar. Nice! The show we saw was great. We were seated in one of the smaller - but newer rooms. It was an intimate setting -- there were no bad seats in the house! With all the new upgrades I would definitely come back - it was such a great experience overall. read more

Came here to watch Joe Wong and it was pretty nice. Parking was convenient and there wasn't a bad seat anywhere. Really enjoyed all the jokes and seeing the different comedians. The space is cozy and the service was good. read more

My first time at The Ice House after all these years!! I had soo much fun!!! Came for a comedy show and the food was bomb !! I ordered the crispy honey chicken sliders and chicken wings !!! That was the Bomb!!!! Order that when u come you will have no regrets!! The service was really good and our server was very attentive!! The Ambiance was perfect and modern! Great seats as well! Only issue was that the seats were very close together and tables are very small! However, it is very cute inside with nice decor and very clean! I will definitely come back here again for another comedy show!! I really enjoyed myself Parking is limited on street, but they have a parking structure for $15 read more

Love the seating and table situation. It makes sense! We didn't try their food but I got two of their frozen alcoholic beverages, perfect to cool me down from that hot night. It is a two items minimum per person. We weren't sure until they told us when the show was almost done and then we had to order. Don't forget to close out, they will charge extra 20%. read more

I use to go here every week when I was young. This was my first time going back to see a comedy show after so many years. I went to see Finesse Mitchell and Tisha Campbell and they were hilarious. I had so much fun. The comedy club was upgraded with trendy furniture and light fixtures. Very cozy ambiance. All the staff was nice and made great recommendations. The tickets were very reasonable I only paid 54.00 for two tickets. They have a nice decent menu for food and drinks and have happy hour prices before the show depending on the comedian show. Note: It's two drinks minimum. read more

Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and Michael Yo had the house laughing so loudly! The lineup was also pretty good too. I thought it was so cool that all comedians were free to take a photo with audience members. There's a 2 item minimum and I ordered the Brussels sprouts (don't bother) and the short ribs sliders were excellent- but hold the bbq sauce and have it on the side so it won't be too saucy. The watermelon highball was weak. The Japanese sour was good if you like sour. Fries were super thin. The salad was lackluster. The house was sold out so get tickets in advance! Happy hour prices are not available in the showroom and only in the bar area. Overall a nice venue and I enjoyed the laughs! read more

I had not been to The Ice House in Pasadena since the late 90's... We got tickets this time around to see Tumua, a comedian from Oahu. He was great, the venue and the changes/updates to it were great and the staff we came across all were helpful & friendly. His show was inside the Legendary Room and it was nice. I booked a table for 2 along the back wall. My lady & I had lots of laughs on an enjoyable evening. There is a 2 item minimum you have to meet but we easily met that with ordering fries (thin, crispy & delicious) and sliders (no cheese) were tasty plus 2 drinks & bottled waters. The only thing that can be improved is the speed at which our orders were taken because us being the last group along the back wall of tables to have their order taken meant we were late in getting our drinks & food. Tumua was well into his act by then. He had an opener too... So maybe more servers? That would help. Tumua was great. I hope they have him again in the future... I like how The Ice House had Luau Night for him that weekend. He had 5 shows in 3 nights. There was tahitian dancers, leis for everyone, a Hawaiian band & tropical drink specials. That was a nice touch. We had drinks at the bar prior to the show and that was a nice precursor to the evening. Parking across the street at the nearest garage is $15. A little steep... My best friend had an office there and I still had validation stickers to park there but it was not accepted. read more

Decent venue, came here for a comedy show. The show itself was great but taking a few stars off just for the overall price and visibility. Tickets itself were a reasonable price but there were a few add ons that made it more expensive. There isn't street parking nearby (maybe other blocks, I'm not sure). So if you decide to park in the lot across the street, it is $10. There is also a 2 item minimum per person, plus tip. Most items were $15 each. The food was pretty small and mediocre. We got the sliders, pizza, and fries. You could get a drink which of course is about the same but I was thrown off that a mocktail was the same price as a cocktail...only found out after the fact as it is not written on the menu. I also found issue with the seating - since most of the room is at the same level, the person in front of me was large and tall which blocked most of my view. Not shown in my photo. read more

Great place to watch comedy shows. Lots of big names have performed here and some of the openers can be hit or miss depending. Plenty of street parking if you know where to look. The menu is pretty reasonably priced so you won't break the bank with the two item requirement. The bar prices are pretty pricy but are consistent with Pasadena prices. But the bar area is where you can typically meet and greet some of the comics. The waiters are pretty quick and discreet. read more

Ice House is still the top notch place to watch comedy. The staff ; the quality comedians will always keep me coming back!

I have produces three shows at the Ice House and their service, professionalism and food had been consistant and top notch. I'm looking forward not only as a comdiean to perform but also attend as a patron due to the true ambiance club seating. Great line ups, good food and good service is what makes this place work. Thank you for the opportunity. @thetyroneg read more

Very good set, although the pricing for all the seats are the same, and they have pricey drinks you can opt for some cheap eats around $5 a pop so you only spend Additonal $10. Also beer will be about $10 or so, and two is mandatory of any item. Great set, good vibes, good setting read more

There is something up with the wait staff here. It took 35 minutes for anyone to greet us and get our order. I was getting anxious and hungry which mentally took me out of the show for the first 4 comics. So I had to get up from the show and mention this to a waitress. We ordered two drinks and two mozzarella cheese sticks, of which we received our 2 drinks in the middle of comic number 5 of 9. At comic number 7 we get the bill. I told the waitress that we never received our mozzarella cheese sticks. At this point the kitchen was closed so there was nothing they could do about it. Guess the two item minimum per person is just a suggestion??? I also heard from my fiancee who was a comic performing that night that a waitress was rude to the comic who was hosting the show. Love the comedy here but the wait staff leaves MUCH to be desired. read more

This is a fun place and a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday evening! Since the change in management and remodel, the venue looks much nicer and seems to attract plenty of newcomers and regulars. Prices are a bit higher now than I remember, plus there's a two-item minimum. Still, there's happy hour at the bar. Restrooms are decent... cleaner than some other places. Food is okay, dessert was good but not great. Cocktails aren't strong. Parking in the garage out front, which is advertised as being the Ice House parking, is $15 upfront for self-parking. That was not my favorite part of the night, and I'll remember to look for street parking next time. read more

I noticed that Tom Green was on a lot of the comedy podcasts based in LA for like 5 days so i immediately thought he'd be doing spots while he was in town. Some googling and I saw that he was performing with Bobby and Esther at the Ice House!!!!! Ive been to maybe 50-60 comedy shows over the years and this was my favorite so far just surpassing Uncle Joey. The Ice House is so intimate and small, and some HUGE stars perform there at times. Absolutely an incredible evening with amazing comedians. Thank you Ice House! read more

Came here recently for a friend's 40th. Ended up reserving their VIP room. First time here though I've passed by this place a couple of times. If you're into comedy shows, this is the place to be. When you first walk in, the gallery wall definitely stands out as you see all the past comedians who have graced the Ice House in the past. There's a hangout area before you get to the rooms. VIP room was pretty nice. Get a whole room to yourself with the audio coming through the speakers. No lag on the speakers which is good. We got 3 tickets and you can use it towards food and/or drinks. I ordered their pulled pork slider which wasn't too bad. Then ordered two other drinks which I enjoyed. Tasted pretty good and plenty of alcohol to it. With VIP, you're also reserved the small tables in the back in the main room so I was able to check out the floor as well. Great service and great entertainment. Would definitely come again to enjoy the laughs. read more

I love to laugh and truly appreciate an evening so enjoyable that you are still smiling days later. This the 2nd time I have been to DL Hughley's residency show. It is on Wednesdays which is the perfect mid week "humpday" refresher. You can choose your seats when you buy your tickets online and i rarely pick the front row as I would rather someone else be the show.... i usually pick the 1st bar row as it is close enough with direct line of sight above the front section.... although DL did make it back to engage with our row. The value is unbelievable as not only do you get over a 1/2 dozen wonderful diverse comedians but the fantastic "King of Comedy " headliner /host with his current intellectual humor sets between each. The best is his quick-witted audience interaction. BUT...Just when you think it couldn't be better.... DL brings up his friend JOHNNY GIL to serenade us a cappella... although the whole audience had to sing along with a little "MY MY MY" The food & service was a nice compliment to the show. We arrived and had wings with pizza for dinner and our friends had sliders with fries. The portions were generous and food good as well as the drinks. The venue is very nice with comfortable seats ...(better than worn out clubs in Hollywood or overpriced Vegas)....which is important because I want to be there for every laugh! I am looking forward to going again and hope to see you there! read more

My son took me on cinco de Mayo to the ice house and I had a great time! I haven't been there in many years and was pleasantly surprised to see all the renovations that they have done to the place! It's looking very nice! Plenty of seating and the stage was nice and great comedians! They had a wonderful Mariachi band performing and I had a lovely time! We got to see Paul Rodriguez and he had me laughing the whole time! Parking was easy to find and we only paid $3.00. Carry cash for the parking. They have a 2 drink minimum and they also offer food. We did not eat there but the food smelled good! read more

I read they opened in the 1960s and featured many notable comedians, and they're one of the oldest comedy clubs on the West Coast. I don't usually go to comedy shows unless invited, but I visited The Ice House in Pasadena a few times. The comedians were funny, both the headliners and the others I saw for the first time. It's a nice venue with two showrooms, and it's pretty spacious before the show, so you could have a drink at the bar. The venue staff are very nice, attentive, and organized when going into the showroom, taking your orders, and bringing them out. read more

I just went to a show at the Ice House for the first time! It was so fun & the staff were great. The space offers chill open areas, and each of the comedy shows happen in more private spaces. But there are a few of them so it's cool that multiple shows can happen per night! I didn't get any food, but the drinks were solid, good selection! read more

Everything went well!! The show was great. The servers were pleasant and attentive. Seats were perfect.

It's not about what you do but how you do it... Ice House did it terribly. Service was rude, food was meh. If I see a comedian I like working a different stage I'll see them there rather than Ice House. I had a concern and it was met with the worst attitude, so why would I bring my family and spend a few hundred dollars on drinks and food. The only shining light was the bartender prior to the show- she was great. Be more like her. read more

Went to this venue for the very first time to see preacher Lawson. The show was great but there were a couple of things that didn't impress me much about the venue. They didn't start on time. Felt like I waited forever just to be seated. The venue doesn't let you purchase a solo ticket to sit in the front. You have to buy ticket in pairs. However, the service was great and the food was ok. I liked how intimate the venue felt so I may come back again. read more
