Where do young people (20s) hang out???
I recently moved to Little Rock as a 22 year old and I don't know anybody here, it's been lonely so far. I tried going out and finding people at public places to talk to but everywhere I go I never see people my own age. I get the impression that most young adults from around…

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Joint Theater and Coffeehouse is widely praised for its intimate atmosphere, excellent acoustics for live music, and hilarious comedy shows that rival those in larger cities. Patrons love the attentive service and affordable drinks, making it a great value. However, some find the seating uncomfortable, and a few reviewers have had negative experiences with the humor or perceived audience engagement.
"We laughed so hard we felt it the next day. (The Uncle Dan character alone is worth the price of admission.) The acoustics are amazing. If you get a chance to see live music here, your ears will not be ringing the next day as is the case with most other venues. A multi- instrument band is always nicely balanced and solo artists are so articulate. It's quite common to hear a musician say between songs, "This room sounds awesome!" What's most impressive about this place is the service. From the moment you set foot on the property, someone is taking care of you. The performers often greet you at the door, you are ushered to a seat, and drink service quickly follows. This tiny venue is a well-tuned machine run by professionals with surgical precision. I've only had the best experiences here."

"My girlfriend and I went here on a trip through Little Rock on stand-up night and it was AWESOME. I literally was laughing the whole time (and I only had a few drinks). There were comics there that were as funny as what you’d see in some really big city venues and it’s a good atmosphere with great beer and coffee choices. This was the highlight of our time in Little Rock!"
William Huff
"The acoustics are horrible and the seats are so uncomfortable that I was forced to leave multiple times during the two different shows I tried. It wasn't funny. I would have felt embarrassed for the people but they seemed so proud of their work. I'm not sure how they get as many people to watch them as they do. Are those people getting paid to attend? I don't think I would even accept money to go ever again. I've given it three chances over the years and it is ridiculously stupid. I'd rather watch sesame Street and I don't like sesame Street. I even think maybe the purple dinosaur would be better."
