I got a chance to check out The Ice House in Pasadena with some colleagues last month. My first time here. I didn't know what to expect because I normally don't go to comedy clubs. I found out some shows are free with a minimum of two drinks purchase and other shows require tickets to be purchased. The front lobby has some fun customes and a spinning thing that you may stand on. It also has the huge white bear statue... nice photo op! As you walk in, there are framed photos of comedians who have performed at this comedy house. I recognized a handful of them... sweet! They have a bar with inside seating and also outside patio seating. The bartenders were friendly and very quick in making the drinks. I loved the spicy mango virgin margarita! It was so good... spicy and sweet at the same time! I may have to come back just to buy the drink times 2 LOL. They have a food menu with appetizers and snacks. There are two stage rooms. I only went into one of them. I don't remember which one, but I'm sure I took a photo of it. We had 3 comedians for the show. I really like the 3rd one. The first one was decent. However, the second one struggled a bit. Sorry, I don't remember their names. I got some good laughs. What I learned is that the comedians must leverage the audience's positive energy to really do well on stage. Otherwise, it may be tough and lack substance. I applaud all the comedians for trying because our crowd was small. There wasn't a lot of energy in the room at the time. Again, I may come back for my spicy mango virgin margarita and perhaps get some laughs while I'm taking down the drinks. Thank you Ice House for providing great comedy shows since the 1960's!

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.

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.

Since the 1960s, the Ice House has been providing entertainment with famous headliner Comedians and also has a comedy school for new and upcoming talent. I was so fortunate to attend a live taping of the Mas Locos Comedy TV Show. What a night, the MC was Jeff Garcia. We saw Abraham Boche, Ernesto Ortiz, Jose Velasquez, and Sebastian Cetina perform and showcase their talents. If do not recognize these names, it's alright, by this time next year you will know them. In Spring 2025 Mas Locos will release a new season. Our usher was Andrew, he was able to get our group of 8 seated in the same section. Even though a couple were late, they were able to join us. Buy tickets on their website, subscribe to receive updates and discounts to special shows. A two "item" purchase per person is required. Your two "items" does not have to be an alcoholic beverage. Choose specialty cocktails, beer, wine, soft drinks or food (pizza, sliders, tacos, chicken wings, garlic fries, etc.). Check the website, make plans for fun night with family and friends. Don't forget to tell'em that Rosemary sent ya!

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

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.

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!

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.
