Full disclosure, we didn't come here for food. Landed around 1030pm and shut the place down on a Tuesday night during a conference week. We got so lucky by having the entire top floor to ourselves with a whole dance floor, DJ, and pool table with bathrooms too! Blonde bartender was so good putting up with ~50 - 70 corporate people and customers, apologies I didn't catch her name but I'm so grateful! She made solid drinks and we caught a pic with her! DJ was taking requests and playing music videos across all screens (MTV - the nostalgia!!). We had customers from all around the world and they all had a great time. Will be saving this place for future nights out.
Love this place! Great live music! Fabulous drinks! Loved the My Boo Sweet spicy concoction Service was perfect for divey place
A fun little bar with a dance floor both up and downstairs! Fiancé and I came here for funsies and we went downstairs and the DJ was playing a lot of older tunes. Def brought us back to our younger clubbing days and we had a great time. The drinks were really good too and it wasn't too crowded when we got there, but it started getting packed when we left. All in all we had a great time for a Saturday night!
Been having a great time celebrating a gf's bday at Tipsy each year. Options of multiple dance floors & we always have a great time. However, shady billing when ordering drinks. I ordered 7 shots & Tipsy added some interesting numbers. They hid charges in the Toast payment terminal vs showing you an itemized list of charges. $109.88 for 7 little shots. I showed friends my receipt & they all agreed this is BS charging. My other tab for $40 for 2 drinks didn't text to me either. Special Taxes? Why put the credit card surcharge on the tab too? This is on top of service charges. County & State Taxes... Put very clear signs up if you're going to add all these extra fees. Other places in Downtown don't add these crazy fees on a tab for drinks... I went to other local places & made sure to check the final bills.
One of the many places that you can find the most historical mens bar that durring the early years there were baras for men only. In the gaslamp there were many places that you could gp have dinner and there were places that were only for the high ckass busiiness men. The Tipsy Crow is one place that takes you back to the early years of the 1900s the times when you had speak easys and the hidden bars of San Diegp.. wgen you come to the tipsy you have the feel of the bar and the old wood work that gives the feel the way the bars serve and the old fashioned drinks thwy have with the food they serve. The ambiance of the Tipsy Crow the interior of the club bar you xan have the best in weztern and the best in classic cocktails the club and the cocktails gave the feel of the days of 1905 to the days of the 1940s. For obe of the oldest bar restaurants they have menues at the front door you can choose from the many dishes they can bribg your food to your table and the drinks they make. Customer servoce theu hacevis the best grets you at the front door checkibg your ID. The Tipsy Crow they are cery on top to make sure that a are of age they do ask for your driverz lisence or your ID to make sure that all are of ocer 21. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer the Tipsy Crow is obe of the oldest you xan relive the early years with the great food with such great Iralian flavors. A great place you can have some of the weztern and classix cocktails with friends and coworkers.
this review is specifically during halloween weekend. though we didn't have any trouble getting in and it wasn't as crowded (yet), we absolutely loved the drinks. however, the food service was weird. i only say this because my group ordered food and when it was delivered, our food was combined into one plate so i ended up accidentally eating my friends soup because it was on the same plate as my sandwich and chips.... the server didn't tell us anything or warn us about this. my friend had to reorder something else so that she could get soup this time - the soup was NOT in a bread bowl as advertised. this part was just super disappointing. again, i would only come here for the drinks as the food isn't the same since the last time we came (last year) for beetlejuice themed drinks. really liked walk on the beach AND dreamsicle!
We came here on a recommendation from our server at Werewolf, and I have to say the gin drink was one of our favorite cocktails. It was incredibly delicious--one of those drinks that tastes so good it can be dangerous. The bartender was awesome, and the service was great.
Okay so I don't have many photos, but I like this spot a lot. The basement is very club-dance energy which was a blast and the DJ was awesome. The mid level is much more chill, sit and talk, but good music and good service. The upstairs has another DJ & the bartenders give great service, and we enjoyed the pool table.
Stopped in when I heard some live music. Two guys playing groovy music acoustic. Ordered a couple beers then the lobster rolls. I'll be honest. I regretted ordering them the minute I did. It didn't feel like a lobster roll place. While waiting, I ordered my first Moscow Mule, which was not to my liking. I let the bartender know I'd prefer kettle rocks and I'd pay for the mule, but she was kind enough to not charge me for it. The lobster rolls held their own. You have to upsize to two and take the meat and stuff it on to one bun for max effect. But for $24c this passed the taste test!!! Overall, good music, good food, great atmosphere and great service. I will come back.
We decided to come here after dinner because the pictures made it look unique and we liked that it had a pool table. The first floor had a bar and different seating areas. The second floor also had a bar and had a cool room for the pool table that had bookshelves and big chairs. It had a great window space with a street view of gaslamp. The ceiling just outside that room was painted and had pink and purple lights on it. It was a bit speak easy feeling and had great decor throughout. The tables had big connect 4 on the tables as well. The music was mostly 80s music and the rooms were brighter until 9pm. At 9pm it turned into more club like music and the lights were dimmed. A server came to our table and took our drink orders. The bar was close to our table and it took quite some time to get our 3 drinks. The vodka triple sec drink was watery and not very good. The blackberry mojito had great flavor and chunks of blackberries that were tasty. The Paloma was good as well with fresh grapefruit juice. The service was slow and she didn't do much for us. Overall, it's a great vibe in there and I'm glad we stopped in.
The ambiance is definitely the highlight of the bar for me and the group i went with. We were helped by a lady on the second floor which was a godsend since she managed to keep up with all of the tables while maneuvering around crowded bar areas. The food was not tested as we already ate, but the drinks were as expected and not too too life changing. The decoration and vibe of the place was cool, but I think that I would have liked seeing the lower level but it was closed off. There weren't many games or activities to do and the dance floor was pretty small / less desired than expected. Might be fun with the right group, but I would recommend this place when they have decorations up.
Reviews are mixed. Many enjoy the lively multi-level atmosphere and strong, creative drinks. Some mention friendly and attentive staff, and several like the bar food.

We stopped into The Tipsy Crowd for a couple of drinks to beat the heat and had a great time! The staff was friendly, the live music was fantastic, and I loved the drink exchange it's like watching the stock market of what people are ordering. Such a unique concept! Great drinks, a fun atmosphere, and live music make this a spot worth checking out. read more
It's a very narrow building with multiple levels with each level feeling like a whole new place. The main floor is an ordinary bar to lounge, order drinks and listen to some music. It's sort of the least busy part of this location. Downstairs is more like a club! There's partying, the room is dimly lit and music is blasting. You're walking shoulder-to-shoulder with everyone. People are walking around carefully with drinks in their hands while grooving to the party music in the basement. It's very warm in here as you'd expect in any club. If you go upstairs, you have two options. There's another bar up here and on one side, it seems they've prepared a dance floor with a DJ. The other side of the upper floor has a pool table if you want a quieter environment. It's a cool experience and something I'd recommend people at least trying out if they're looking for a night life in Gaslamp. read more

Walked here from our hotel. The vibe was chill downstairs but upstairs had its own dj and he played great options. Didn't try to food but the drinks were good. By 11pm a younger crowd started coming in then the music changed so we left. I would recommend before 11pm read more

Looking for a joint for grub before a ball game, and this place was right around the corner. Started out with a caesar salad with chicken and finished with the meatballs. Both were good and arrived quickly. Ambiance is goth nightclub, service was prompt and friendly, and prices are in line with the area. read more

Not the best place but a good place to step into for a beverage. Staff caters to the locals and it did not have that welcoming feel for out of towners. More for locals which is unfortunate considering the location. Nice place, good drinks and food but if you are from out of town there are many other places around here that feel more welcoming. read more

The Tipsy Crow had great energy to it. I loved the whole stock-market style drink menu & my Crow Fashioned was good. Overall just a fun spot with a cool atmosphere. read more
Cute bar in the Gaslamp district in San Diego! Good beers, great cocktails! Live music and very friendly servers. I stopped by as I liked the interior and then liked the menu and so on. Very much worth a try. Cocktail to try is whiskey Merengue...delicious. Only downside is that the Tipsy Crow can get loud due to live music read more

I came here on a Sunday night around 11 PM, and I love that they stay open late. The bottom floor was pretty packed, but upstairs had a pool table, high tops, another bar, and even a DJ. I'm not sure how often they have a DJ, but it definitely added to the vibe. The playlist was fun, though I wish they played longer clips of the songs instead of switching so quickly. Still, everyone was dancing and having a good time. The bartender was awesome. She made me a pear martini that was delicious. All the staff were super friendly, and the crowd was fun, definitely on the younger side though. read more

This is a nice bar. The ambiance is great. The bar is well maintained. I would say I'm not crazy about how to drinks are served. The service normally overall is great. It's definitely in a busy area so parking can be a pain. They have 3 floors here. I am not quite sure how often the first floor is open or when, I've only ever been on the main floor and the second floor. Their is a pool table upstairs, which you have to put money in it or a card in order to use it. It's $2.00 a game. Overall entire staff is very polite and helpful. I am not sure of the days but they also have a DJ here in the later hours. Definitely a place to be it's a vibe. read more

This was my second time in Tipsy Crow and hands down this is my favorite spot in Gaslamp. The concept of having a three floor bar where each level has its own vibe is amazing and I wish more places did that. My group mostly stayed in the bottom club level and had a great time! 100% recommend this place if you're in the area read more

Coming inside was cute. I was disappointed because online it says you can explore all 3 floors that are decked out in Grinch. We were only allowed on the first floor so that was disappointing. The decorations were cute from the first floor and had lots of little details pertaining their bar which was cute. Our serve was nice she took our order fast and gave us our drinks fast. The drinks were good, but price was crazy! They don't have their prices on the menu. When I got the bill it was over $35 for just 2 drinks. It was good but not sure if I'd come back because of how expensive it was. read more

After being a San Diegan for 20+ years, I *FINALLY* made it to Tipsy Crow and I don't know why I waited so long!! The atmosphere upstairs is laid back and less noisy than downstairs. We played a few rounds of pool and enjoyed our food and drinks while people watching the streets below. The downstairs bar also had live music and I def see us making our way back! read more
