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.

Being seated in front of a very loud group that talks and yells over the music can impact your experience if you want to come and vibe out to the music. Staff was unhelpful with the request to ask the group behind to maintain proper etiquette despite the artist explaining to the crowd that she does not like to yell over the crowd.

The club is small enough that every seat is a good one. The only issue for me is that the noise level from conversations interferes with the music. Each time, there has been considerable noise and at least a couple of tables having excessively loud conversations. This last time, the performer very politely asked patrons to lower the volume. That worked beautifully. I think patrons should be advised as they enter to keep conversation volume down. One would think that if you go to a jazz club, you are there to hear the music. Clearly some people are there to primarily socialize and less to hear the music.
