You Have to come early . There's parking across across the street but it gets filled up fast . There's some street parking and other parking lots around the area .

Convenient but expensive parking is just across the street.

Sorry Improv , but your cocktails are TERRIBLE. My $12.00 Cosmopolitan tasted like watered down Kool Aid. I actually sent it back and ordered a beer on tap which was fine. Stick to beer or maybe wine. My chicken Quesidilla was tasty and generous
If you are going to attend the San Jose Improv, there is a parking lot across the street that you can utilize for $6/hour or you can park a few blocks down Santa Clara street towards Ninth street and ride an electric scooter (Bird or lime, they’re all over downtown) to the venue.
The weather was Windy. I wore Leather suit.
The Loft right next door has a really good beef short rib , and an elevator to help those who can't manage the stairs
2 item policy not strictly enforced which is great. Seating arrangement is well thought out so the stage view is good from any angle.
Park in the garage next to San Pedro Square for $6 flat all-night & walk to the Improv.
The weather was chill. I wore light clothing.
two item minimum, but do not have to buy alcohol.
The weather was Night, warm. I wore Jeans, heals and a nice shirt.
Try to be there at least 1 hr earlier to:
1. Nab good parking across the street ($6/hr, they take CC & cash)
2. Be one of the first ones in line to get in, so you can get good seats.
Even though the event said this was from 9:45 to 10:45. Plan on being there until midnight :)
There are several parking lots near the San Jose Improv. Street parking is available if you can find it. The Improv does not validate for parking.
The Improv has a 2 item min. Either be food or drink.
Parking cost us $25.00 across the street it was $5.00 per hr. better to park around the corner in the other parking lot. or take public transportation. arrive early ...
Arrive early to get the best seat (1 hour in advance)
Get there early for best seats and a bite to eat... they have dinner entrees too...
The weather was cold. I wore clothes. LOL. SJ Improv is cool so dress in layers..

There are lots of places to eat within walking distance. It is pretty busy in the evening, especially when there are other events/shows and sports events on the same night as an Improv show. Plan ahead for long waits to dine and packed parking lots. In other words, get there early.
