DC Comedy Loft and Bier Baron Tavern - Washington, District of Columbia

The only joke in this place is this seat. Completely blocked view. Could not see any person performing. Even more disrespectful to the fact we got there about an hour early and were told to go wait at bar downstairs. Spent a good chunk of money at bar, they never came and got us.

The prices here are egregious! $17 for some fries is insane. There is a two item minimum purchase per person per show. This on top of the cost of the show just feels horrible. It's price gouging and I doubt I will come back because of the incredibly poor value.

Came here for some great comedy and was not disappointed. We had purchased tickets very early for Leslie Liao - but did not know that what we bought got us front row seats!
Doors did not open until 6 PM for the 7 PM show which was a packed house. Several people were turned away that came early and most of us waited in the bar downstairs. Prices were pretty high for just a beer and do not count towards the two item minimum for the show.
After we were seated it appeared there were only 3 waiters for the entire area which made the wait time for food and drinks a bit excessive. Got served 20 minutes before the show started and the $20 burger was overdone, dry and and cold - and fries were cold - meaning they probably sat there waiting to go out but there weren’t enough wait staff to move all the food and drinks. Been there people. Onion rings and the crispy wings were 💯. House salad was smaller than expected for the price but was still good.

Show was fantastic. Leslie Liao was hilarious as was the warmup hostess. Will go back for sure - but management should open doors a bit earlier for bigger acts - or have more staff on hand to accommodate more people and more orders. Will be going back but might pregame dinner elsewhere.

Food was very expensive but particularly good and the atmosphere was very crowded and unpleasant at times. My first time I went to this comedy club was to get some food and see a show and obviously get some laughs, but…… The people were loud and obnoxious and what made it worse was a very argumentative and arrogant comedian named Natalie. She wasn’t funny at all and she got into a argument with a guy in the crowd, it angers me that I spent money to watch this woman and all I got was some overpriced food and beverages and a very bad show.. I won’t be going to this comedy club again….

I went there for the first time and last time Saturday night. They told us to be there 30 minutes before they didn't seat us until 9:45. It was very unorganized and people were just rude at times. They sit you with people you don't know and that's never a good thing. Then you have to have 2 item purchase. The food was ok. I had the house salad and it was a horrible salad, I don't know how but it was horrible. The fried mozzarella sticks were good. I did not get a drink too high and my guest said it was okay. The comedians were funny. This isn't enough to make me come back, not worth it.

Venue is over crowded. Purchased preferred seats that were just preferred in name. Everyone around me were general admin and when I addressed this with the staff and management I was told it’s just the way the club is set up. I decided to deal with my uncomfortable seats with my back to a small table shared by 6 people and told myself it could not get worse BUT IT DID I received the items I had to purchase due to the two item minimum. If the prices alone weren’t an insult, the quality was very poor no one in my party ate their food or cocktails. I love comedy but this was a nightmare and the joke was on us. Tips: keep the ordering simple if you go and be prepared to sit in a fire hazard.

I’ve been to two shows here, and had a great time both times. The staff are super nice and helpful, and the environment is comfortable for the show. You feel close to the comics, and the food is pretty good! Super excited to go back soon!

Went for a comedy show - was doing the "2 item minimum" rule with comedy shows so I ordered 2 items from the menu around 7... By 9 o'clock my table and the table behind us never got the stuff we ordered. We had mentioned it a few times and the server went to check but by the time it was figured out the show had ended. Not a great experience BUT we found out the mix up was with the kitchen, not the servers. The servers were all nice and kind and we could tell they felt sorry about the situation. The food was put in at the time we ordered it, we just didn't see that food until it was too late (2 hours later). They were able to refund the items that were forgotten. Would rate this one experience lower but I was here two other times and the time to get the food was not as long.
