***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.

Cool vibe with live jazz music and great food. I have two people with Celiac in my family and they served GF entrees and desserts. We did not ask questions about cross-contamination in the kitchen, but it is the morning after and no one seems sick. The serving staff were warm and fun. Brought my two kids (10 and 15) and husband and they all loved it. Salmon dish exceeded my experience and another family member loved the seared tofu. Drinks were good.

Being in the intimate atmosphere of Mr. Tipple's Jazz Club listening to the stellar Richard Lowell was a treat. The servers were very helpful and the hostess was adept at handling all of the people during the turnover.

Chicken and mushroom bao was good and fluffy. Plant-based potstickers were ok. Cucumber salad is on the sweet side, very refreshing. Drinks were good, 3 out of 3 bangers.
