We had a wonderful large group celebration at Mr Tipples, and all of our guests loved the experience. Jay the owner was a fantastic partner, and was very helpful in helping us figure out the right logistics food etc. I also really liked the banquet order system they use since it made the entire transaction including all the fees gratuity etc very transparent and made it easier to plan.
The space is lovely and we were able to squeeze in 25 people into their lounge which is referred to as the opium den. The music was fantastic and the artists were amazing. The food and drinks were great as well. The restrooms are well maintained. The location is very easy to get to and is walking distance from the muni as well as bart, and easy enough to get Ubers as well. Good parking options also nearby and they even had a great list of suggestions on their website.
Some things that could have been improved was the service. We struggled to get service sometimes and place drink orders. Yes we were a large group but the fee is per person so we had hoped it would have been accounted for. We also had a bit of wasted food due to an extra order we did not place. Last thing which could be improved was adding food labels with even just the name of what’s being served. Many of our party didn’t eat meat and they some dishes were misidentified by the server as containing pork and so people missed out on some of the food.
Overall we loved our experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to host a special and memorable event. Thank you to the Mr Tipples team!

Had a great time at this very small intimate jazz club. It only had about 25 ish tables which lead to a cosy experience The table was only available for 90 minutes but we were able to move to the bar area after out time expired The music was great ..... obviously that depends on the band playing ! The food was delicious and my only criticism is, all the dishes were brought out together which meant they got cold

This is a special place. The vibe and energy is fantastic and the food and drinks were excellent and well priced. Steffens Khuen and his band were *phenomenal* and the joy they had in making music was evident and contagious. A wonderful night out indeed!

Amazing night of good food and great talent. We were lucky to see and meet Steffens Khuen, Christian Tumalan , and band. They were amazing. Great atmosphere, food and drinks. Would highly recommend.

The jazz group was super 😎, we enjoyed it, but the service was not good. They took a long time to take the order, the order arrived on time, we finished the drink and she never asked us if we wanted more drinks or food, we only had one drink in all the time.

Love the place! Been there multiple times and they always have great musicians. The drinks are great and the servers are nice.
I'm not a jazz fan so it's difficult for me to rate this venue. The seating was not great.

!!! WARNING: OWNER CANCELED MY PRIVATE EVENT BECAUSE ANOTHER PARTY OFFERED MORE MONEY !!!
I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at this venue and with the owner (Jay B). After investing a significant amount of time coordinating a corporate event - complete with RSVPs, logistics, and planning-the owner canceled on me just two weeks before the event.
From the beginning, communication was sparse and it was challenging to get details finalized. Despite this, I continued coordinating everything in good faith, assuming the reservation was secure.
Then, with little notice, the owner informed me he had received a booking worth significantly more (he told me 15x my amount) and chose to cancel my confirmed event because of it.
This wasn’t a simple scheduling conflict - it was a confirmed reservation where I had offered multiple dates for his flexibility and was dropped purely because someone else offered more money. It left me scrambling to find a new venue and created unnecessary stress for everyone involved.
Anyone considering this venue should know that your event may not be honored if a higher-paying customer comes along. Reliability and professionalism are essential in event planning, and unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

The music was world class...I was amazed that I had not visited Mr. Tipples before. Food and cocktails were also very good. My fav was the short ribs...fall off the bone tender.
