Cap City is Austin's biggest, and most "traditional-style", comedy club. Bitch all you want about two-drink minimums, they allow the club to bring in first rate talent and pay acts some decent scratch. Sunday's open mics are held on the small stage in the barroom. That's a good thing as it better fits the usually modest-sized crowd.

This is a great place to polish what's in place. The audiences are attentive, and the more formal setting and cocktail service leave the crowds expecting a professional show. Experiments and bold, new material choices might be better suited to other venues. Do your good stuff. Plus, the club's manager is generally watching. Good shows = paying gigs. If you catch our drift.
