It was pretty cool. I cant really say much about the bar. It is pretty hidden . Its on the third floor and the drinks are pretty expensive. 2 beers cost us 36 dollars. I probably wont attempt to come again unless someone I know wants to hear some jazz.

What an amazing bar this is! You can feel the incredible vibe from the moment you walk in. It’s so classy and comfortable, high tables with low light and a stage where the band plays.It’s so cozy that time will pass by without you noticing. This is definitely a must go place in SF if you wanna enjoy great music, relax and have a drink.

Super excited for date night! I came here for the very first time last night and it was an amazing experience. Our server was Samer, he was attentive, polite, and did very well with checking in.

I arrived at this place quite late so I was able to only listen to a few songs of the live jazz band and it was amazing.Got welcomed by the band walking into this place, which was quite funny.This is just a typical American classy jazz place, with long curtains all around, dark setting and low and high tables with a small light at it.Absolutely amazing atmosphere, would come back here for the full concert!

I feel as if I’m constantly giving my best kept secrets of the city - this one is too good not to share though. Mr Tipple’s is fantastic for a quieter less pretentious evening of Jazz listening. If you want fancy, go to Black Cat. Do note, during busier nights, there is a minimum of what you spend if you’re sitting at a table -well worth it if that happens. They have a small menu available or you can go through the velvet curtains to Hazels for more options.

My favorite jazz spot in the city. Theres no cover, and regardless of whos performing that night theres a great, lively atmosphere. There are small tables closer to the stage that provide a more intimate setting, and the area near the bar is quite lively and people are usually chatting and standing around. The drinks are great, the music beautiful. Highly recommend as a date spot or friend hangout.

Ordered through Caviar and really enjoyed the meal. We were unsure if their food would hold up for takeout but happy to report that this was probably the best takeout meal weve had since shelter-in-place began in SF a few months ago, and weve ordered from many places.

Love the vibes, music, and cocktails from Mr Tipples. From the moment you step foot into this place you feel like youve been taken back in time. The nights Ive gone they have a killer jazz band playing live. The low lighting, ambiance, and crowd make it all so magical. The tables are small and perfect for small groups or couples. They have a back area for a larger group with a few couches. The bar itself is so beautiful with lace and lighting on it. They have great cocktails and small bites. Ive tried 6 different cocktails and none of them disappoint.Definitely make a stop in here for some soul and spirits.Note they automatically add a 20% to your bill for tip so you dont have to worry about it and everyone gets the same service.

Mr. Tipples is connected to Hazel and you can order food from Hazel while you listen to live jazz if you can get a seat in Mr. Tipples! I didnt like how there are always reserved tables that are empty. They should hold them for 15 minutes and then allow other patrons to sit, as there is very limited seating.The cocktails are awesome, and the bartender made me some really cool cocktails the last time I went. Just let them know what you like and they can create something for you if you want to be a bit more adventurous!

This is a very cozy and chill spot. If you can try to get a spot on one of the couches. Especially the one facing the stage. Best seat in the house. The bathrooms are nice and clean too.

Great little jazz club and bar, live music every night. No cover. I hope they’re still there post covid!

Good music and good drinks make for a great experience.The lighting and mood in this bar is amazing. The atmosphere really feels like youre having a good time and its something I highly recommend you check out while in SF.There are a few things to be aware of, it is loud so dont go expecting to converse over the music. The drinks are also pretty pricey as well but the drinks themselves are pretty good and the cider itself is moderately cheap at $6 too.Overall its a great place and a must go to of youre in the city.

From the outside it seems like a glimpse of an eye. On the inside it reveals the gem of music and good drinks.Dropped by here after passing by it after a afternoon at the Symphony to come and find out that the music starts at 9PM. Live Jazz everyday in the city definitely makes the place quite appealing. Came here at roughly 9PM sharp and it wasn’t too hard to find a table. Ended up grabbing a old fashioned from here and It was made in a up glass. Definitely was made well, and had a good bitter while having just a little bit of sweetness.The live band was quite good. Definitely a good small bunch which were very entusiastic and do recommend checking the place out. Overall I do recommend the place as it doesn’t seem to be as packed as other places I have been to and have good drinks that don’t take too long to make.

This is a great place to visit for live jazz. They have great acts every night of the week but Im partial to Saturday nights. Like a true jazz club its a very intimate setting with the whole place holding less than 100 people so get there early.

Smooth jazz sounds in a sophisticated setting. Loved it here

This is my favorite bar in town, and I dont even like going to bars. Everything about it is so perfect. The live music is just the right volume, and so are the conversations; you can jam out to the jazz and talk to your date or friends without straining your ears or losing your voice. The spot is lit up in a warm, rosy color, and they serve delicious cocktails that makes you feel all tingly and giggly. I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a seat at a table, couch, or the bar. Such an amazing spot!

Intimate, comfortable lounge with great acoustics. High quality Jazz trio on night we visited. Table seating and bar. Light fare available. A special evening.

If you like live jazz, you MUST visit this place. Exquisite cocktails, brilliant sound, and quality artists playing the music. Monday nights are my favorite!! Gypsy Jazz! Friendly bar staff too!

$$$ but good music good drinks good service. Excellent restaurant week offerings. You get what you pay for.

Great music! Cocktails were pretty good, not as creative as I would have liked but still very tasty. Music was loud enough but not so much that you couldnt talk if you wanted. Ill definitely be returning with more friends.

I was able to walk in on a Monday night and watch some top tier acoustic, gypsy jazz for no cover. Bartender was slow but the place was packed and I understand thats just part of the SF experience. Cool bar.

Its a beautiful space with great music and cocktails. I loved the relaxed vibe. Lots of people were dancing on a Monday night, which definitely added to the vibe

Great place for a cocktail. Its a nice spot for a date or with some friends. Theres jazz every night so check the website to see whos playing.

Great cocktails, didnt try the food. The waitress who spoke to us about mezcal and tequila was very knowledgeable about drinks and recommended something for everyone. Really enjoyed our time here and there live music was great. Listen to your waitress on what to order!

Nice, quaint place with good music and performers. “Full bar” which seemed to have problems with making common drinks. If you asked for something not on their cocktail selection, the bartender didn’t know how to make it.

Mr Tipples is fun to hang out with friends and definitely great for parties! We celebrated my friends promotion. The fact that they are connected to a restaurant is awesome. But most importantly, they make yummy cocktails!

Classy drinks at a beautiful bar. Great performers in the far corner, there are tables to watch, but a quieter lounge area for conversation as well. I love the layout of this hideout.

Really cool place to go before you go to SFJAZZ. Nice cocktails and great MUSIC!

Cool, laid-back spot for live music drinks (and snacks). Drinks are much better than the food.

Nice live music venue. Good vibes. People were dancing, too! Good selection of drinks. Tasty food.

This is a unique find in San Francisco! The music is always wonderful, the drinks are perfect and the fried chicken is to die for!

Absolutely love this bar for the great cocktails and the live music! Get in early because it gets very busy after 8 pm.

Amazing music with great cocktails.No cover cost, different performers every night for an intimate performance.Highly recommended!

Great place! get there early. I personally love the fact that you cannot book a table - at least one good place that you dont have to plan ahead for weeks...

I have been dropping in to Mr. Tipples to hear Jazz whenever I am in town; Ive been maybe a dozen times. As many reviewers have noted, this is probably the only place in San Francisco where you can hear live Jazz, without a cover charge, seven days a week. All genres can be heard here: be-bop, Gypsy Jazz, ensemble swing. I love the variety. Drink prices are pretty standard for San Francisco. Service seems to have gotten a lot better. I love that the bartenders remember me and know what I drink.The big downside to Mr. Tipples is that, while its a great place to catch live Jazz, it can be a difficult space to actually enjoy the music. The acoustics are bad, perhaps too many hard surfaces. Very few people are there to appreciate the musicians; on Friday and Saturday nights, youll have a hard time hearing them over the din of the partying techies.

Good: The bartender was polite and kind. The music was not too loud. The atmosphere was comforting.Bad: Because the venue is small there is no formal dancefloor when tables are arranged close to the stage. There are some stains and cuts on the sofas. The bottom lit bar makes reading a menu difficult in the low light.

Low key, fun, not pretentious and there nightly jazz. Cocktails are simple and tasty.

A kickass spot for southern food with a good atmosphere even on a Wednesday night. Check out the jazz in the back.

Interesting layout inside. Makes you feel like youre in an old school jazz club from way back in the day. I dont remember the name of the band I saw, but they were great!

Full of people talking over otherwise great music

One of my favorite spots in the city. The staff is very friendly, the cocktail menu is strong, and there’s always great live music. Strong recommend for a chill date or casual night out with friends.

Great place for live music...wish the wine and beer selection was a bit more extensive.

Great live music. Good cocktail. Nice place to hangout with friends.

This is a great date spot with live jazz and eclectic decor and good food and cocktails too

Nice drinks and jazz atmosphere.

Great ambiance. Great place to enjoy Jazz with a cocktail and have a conversation.

Music was great, chill atmosphere, warm and pleasant. Drinks were good. Water!

Great gem for the area. Cocktails were well done, and they do have food options if you need to nibble. Can be a tight fit and they are quick to start metering the door. Private event area that is great to reserve well ahead of time. The music is always good.

Great music and nice cocktails. Staff were helpful and professional

Great spot tucked away around the corner from Twitter HQ. 9pm band on Saturday jammed out. Staff are friendly. Solid cocktails. No cover. Take a date here, or show up with friends, it doesn’t really matter with jazz like that

Great cocktails, good food, terrific atmosphere. Bartenders were less attentive than Id prefer, but who can blame them when the menu specifically states that patrons shouldnt tip due to the added gratuity; if you know people are told not to tip, then why do more than the bare minimum? Overall, though, Ill definitely be going back.

I liked the live jazz, beautiful atmosphere, but I did not like the shared men/women restroom. Whose idea was that anyway?

This place is amazing! They pianist are hilarious and involve the crowd. We spent about 3 hours there and they only played one of songs we requested. But the other songs they played were really good. Good mix.

So few places with good live jazz and no cover. Have to support places like this!

Beautiful space, excellent cocktails, and great music. Highly recommend reserving the lounge space for a birthday or group event!

Music just ok....ammeters at best BUT Great Food and Service!!

Excellent Jazz Bar in SF. Went here right after work for a quick drink and listen to music before dinner.

Very inviting and great food! Got the Gumbo, fried chicken, and Skrimps

The music and dark ambiance makes for an excellent evening with friends and that Special someone!!

Great place to drink, have a few laughs and get crazy. The Dueling pianists are great at making a fool of themselves and anyone brave enough to get on that stage. I also thought that food was respectable.

Music is so good....amazing vibe. Friendly atmosphere

Great place! Music, food, drinks, service, everything was perfect. I would anytime go back on monday and see Jazz hot.

Great experience! Fantastic music, decent drinks, mediocre service. Min 20$ per person at busy times, 20% tip will be added to the bill, no entry fee. Still 5/5, I would go back for the experience.

If I lived in the city this would be by #1 spot for live music!

Love this place! Came once and was so impressed, I returned less than a week later. Good live jazz lounge (without a cover!) with craft cocktails & limited menu with food provided by the Southern food restaurant attached in the back though a large hallway with shared co-ed restrooms. Inviting atmosphere, no complaints with the servers & bartenders. Great find!

Its just a place to take a friend whos from out of town to a great bar with great live music and great drinks theres nothing better than that with friends

Friends took us here and lets just say we dont have places as cool as this at home. The vibes are great, the crowd is eclectic and friendly. Its hip and elegant enough to have a great date night out but casual enough that you wouldnt feel out of place if you just randomly stopped in. We went for some cocktails and they were great and quite stiff. The live music was such a treat and the whole slightly speakeasy vibe was so appealing. Im so happy we had a chance to go and would recommend stopping in.

Great music, no cover, usually I can find a table. What more could one ask for? :)

A hidden gem that every visitor to SF who enjoys a special and unique evening out should visit. Truly great food, outstanding music and a cozy, sexy atmosphere. Just do yourself a favor, take your other, and GO.

Good little bar for live music. Its food is served by Hazel next door which is connected. The drinks be are good. This place can be a little loud if a band is playing.

Great live music! Good food. Two different atmospheres to pick from. Nice staff.

Great music and food! Try the fried chicken tenders.

Love this place. We always have a great time with good music and nice service!

Great vibe and stiff drinks. Really fun place to hang out and listen to live music. Try the Sazerac. Its on tap, and on point.

Fantastic jazz bar for food and cocktail. Great music, lovely crowd. SF is a weird city with poor fashion sense but suggest a little bit of effort if you are going with a company. Cocktails are must try.

Had a great time at Mr. Tipple’s with some good friends. Didn’t know what to expect going in and was pleasantly surprised. The only area of improvement for me would be that there was only 1 bartender for a packed bar, and a lot of people sit at the bar or stand in the way and hang out once they’ve received their drinks. It took us quite a while to get our first drink. But once we scored a table, service was great!Definitely check this place out if you want a fun vibe, chill jazz music and good drinks.

Live music!! Enjoyed more than a couple nights of cool jazz music and delicious cocktails!! HaPpY hour is cool with certain cocktails just $7 (the margarita and Sazerac were a great tasty deal!) They have some good food deals available at happy hour prices too. Staff is fun and friendly. Try the Money Kitty drink special, yum rum!This place is connected to Hazels, quite popular for good reason (the scene, the vibe, the southern food, the cocktails, happy hour deals pool tables and shuffleboard and great service!!)

Excellent music, drinks and vibe. It very unfortunate that a large part of the crowd could care less for the music which more often than not is masterfully conducted.

Mr. Tipples has a very casual, laid-back vibe. Music seven nights a week, with delicious food and a great selection of wines, beer, and craft cocktails. Its so rare to find a place where great music is available seven nights a week, generally without a cover. I cant wait to go back.

Went for nitecaps post Charo show at Herbst....what a great surprise, live Jazz band, really good, Beautifull room, lively crowd AND NO COVER!! Outstanding, would go back ANYTIME!!

Great place for live jazz and cutom cocktails! Yhe food is AMAZING!!!! i recommend trying the wings and their specials. So creative!

Great live music. The music played until 1230 or so. Interesting cocktails with a premium price. Great place for live jazz music

Good ambience, live music and yummy food

I found their new year event very disappointing ! They mentioned in the invitation that food will be served but by food they meant fried balls of mac and cheese!!! The ticket was $100!!

Possibly my favorite bar in SF. Not crowded but great vibe, live jazz and good drinks. Loved it!

Good music and cocktails. Beer and wine available. Has enough menu for bites or dinner but vibe is more bites.

Excellent, cozy with warm people, good food, drinks and good music.

Music was great ( no cover) service for us was not that great. When I asked why our server ignored us, they apologized and told us they would not charge us for the few drinks we had. 2 days later charge was on our card

I have never been disappointed by an evening spent at Mr. Tipples. The live music is fantastic and the cocktails are excellent.

Good Jazz and drinks. Didnt have diet colas of any kind, which was odd. Food was limited and just okay.

Im a big fan of this place. Ive been twice now and both times there have been amazing jazz bands playing. It is free to get in which makes it a good last minute spot but it can definitely get a little crowded some nights. Would definitely recommend!

It is a nice place with really good vibe. Perfect to have drinks with friends and talk, also nice date spot. They have live music which is really nice, it can be a lil loud but not deafening. Drinks are a bit pricey but the ambiance definitely make this place much better than your run-of-the-mill bar.

Very laid back bar with comfort food, and good cocktails. The music is usually top notch

One of my favorite places in the City. Live jazz music, no cover, good cocktails & food, and happy hour

Great ambiance! Music, paintings decor. Food was decent.

A hidden secret of the city. Love the music, friendly staff, nice drink and food selection. Only issues are that drinks occasionally take forever to make even if its not crowded, and they need to work on sound treatment. Too many hard surfaces, including the floor, make a harsh din from the otherwise killer music. Most jazz clubs have carpeting, which makes a huge difference. Im weird about these kinds of things though so you might not even notice. Definitely worth checking out.

Good music decent vibe although not much room for dancing.Beware they add 20% service charge and tax to your drink, so a $13 becomes $17 because the bartender wants to round up and not give the proper change (which is fine I dont want 36 cents but still).While I’d normally top $2-3 for a crafted cocktail, many of the drinks on the menu are pre-made and on tap. So you’re paying $17 for the bartender to pour a standard drink from the tap. The drinks are average for SF, certainly nothing amazing or noteworthy. It’s obnoxious pricing and indicative of the management not believing their clientele to be people who normally tip well. Even in SF, even with good musicians on stage, nearly $20 for a standard well drink is offensive. Take note management: this is why your club is half empty at midnight despite having hot jazz cooking in the stage. Nobody wants to sit for hours and pay $20 per well drink.

Nice cozy place with great live music.

Great place to come for a date night! Live music, decent drinks, and nice food.

Great music, cute Japanese influenced atmosphere, and the food is great!
