***Best Jazz Club in the City, by San Francisco Magazine***
Mr. Tipple’s is a craft cocktail bar featuring live jazz.
-
Reservations have a 90min time limit from reservation time.
There is a $20/guest min for table service
Mr. Tipple’s heralds back to a 1950s NYC basement. Cozy. Dark. Boozy. The intimate setting features local jazz artists up close and personal. It’s a joint where you come as you are, hear great music, tap your toes, and sip a properly chilled cocktail.
-
My name is Mr. Tipple. Just a simple and laughable bloke hailing from London. I run a recording studio. My friends joke that you’ll oft find me spinning cocktails, not reeling tape. After a few too many, I usually just sit back and enjoy the music, having forgotten to hit record. Regardless, the band is always jiving, the whiskey is always cold, and we’re having a smashing good time.

Tonight was our first time at Mr. Tipples, but it certainly won’t be our last. Nick Rossi and his jazz ensemble, THE JAZZOPATERS: AND ELLINGTONIA UNIT are all first class jazz musicians, and their take on Duke Ellington’s music was spot on. The venue has the classic small nightclub ambiance, and delicious dim sum options and great cocktails are served by great wait staff.

Choose a band you like (Alpha Rhythm Kings this time) and you absolutely positively can't go wrong. Get a table by the wall or bar for ez dancing access or a low table by the stage if you're a sit-down type that likes sit-down type music...

What an incredible experience I had in Mr. Tipples. From the amazing host to the servers and the entire kitchen team, what an epic and delicious adventure. I was very excited to experience some delicious food while the food was so good! And the drinks were made to perfection. Thank you, everyone; you guys crushed it.

Loved and enjoyed it. Just did not like the 90mins at the table. I was just starting to enjoy the music and we had to move. The option was to sit at the bar but the bar was so crowded that we decided to leave.
