This floating tiki bar with sweeping water views, including the Braga Bridge and Borden Light also offers amazing sunsets. There's live entertainment almost every night and the staff wears colorful, tropical themed shirts. It's as close to Key West as you'll get north of the Mason Dixon Line! Besides the amazing location and view, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun. The food is pretty damned good, too. Most recently, I gathered with some colleagues for a weeknight cocktail and dinner. We sat on the upper deck, at the bar that has swings instead of traditional barstools. Everyone was happy with their drinks and their food, some of which was devoured before I could grab a photo. I had a pomegranate margarita, the crab cakes and the chicken quesadilla. It was all very good! A coworker ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip, causing the rest of the bar to experience food envy. It arrived in a bread bowl, surrounded by a generous serving of tortilla chips. Yum! Go for the view, enjoy the atmosphere, stay for the sunset. Eat, drink and be merry - there's no place quite like the Tipsy on a summer night. read more

Very disappointed. Went for drinks after dinner. But because of restrictions wouldn't let us in because it was after 9:30 pm.

Always a great time there also the staff are impeccable and kind and always friendly if you get a chance to go go!!! Just saying...

Billy Hawkins was an AMAZING server!! Went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! Definitely will be back again! Thank you Billy!! :) read more

Went here to meet some of my family members. Seriously? 25+? I'd understand if it was 21+ but 25 and over is ridiculous.

Not a bad place, literally ON the water. The service was average and their specialty mixed drinks were on point! We were disappointed in the small amount of buffalo chicken dip served in the bread bowl. It was really good but it was mostly bread and chips and very little dip. We were there mid-day on a Saturday so it was still quite, though things started to pick up as we we're leaving. I'd image it gets really busy at night and a fun place to party. Not really my cup of tea, but a draw for many! read more

This place has turned incredibly strict for the type of bar it is. Was waiting in line for a half hour to get in because they said there was 30 people over capacity, when it finally got to 2 people over cap, another person came forward and said nobody else was allowed in the bar for the night. Not to mention if you say you have a boat docked they let you right in past the line, without checking to see if you really do have a boat in. You now are not allowed to even get in not even one minute past 9pm regardless of how long you've been in line for, even though the bar closes at 11. Whomever is in charge of these rule changes should realize the negative effect it is having on their brand identity. read more

Waited in line for twenty minutes only to be told we were denied access because of my boyfriends brand new Boston hat (all black with letter B on the front). The door man wouldn't let us hold the hat. We were told to take it back to the car, parked a mile away. I looked at the crowd and I could see men wearing old, worn, bent rimmed hats. More dress codes- No cargo shorts/pants, at 7 pm age limit to get in is 25, no camo print and obviously no straight rimmed hats. I'm sure there are more. The positives about this place.. Live music, seafood oyster bar, fun crowd, panoramic views of the water and bridge because the bar is literally on a marina. read more

nice new spot in Fall River. right on the water great view an breeze on a summer day. drinks were average price. small plastic cup of draft coors light was $5...that's bit higher than most places. the music is good and vice is fun. all diff. ages the food menu isn't bad. we went just for drinks so I couldn't judge that. waiter was very slow with getting us another drink and draft wasnt as cold as it should have been. over all its a cool new spot to try but the service and drink quality arent that great. read more

Rock on, Tipsy. I am on a month long work trip to Fall River and reside in Tampa, Florida. In no way would I ever have imagined that I'd stumble into this establishment. My visit was on season opening day and weather was horrible but still had an amazing time. I went back for day two with absolutely perfect spring weather and had yet another memorable afternoon. Highly recommended if you're in search of a tiki bar on the water. Great music, strong drinks and a perfect water view. Arrive early if the weather is nice or plan on waiting to be get in as they will be at capacity. Cheers! read more

So I've been to the Tipsy Seagull before and everything was great! Food, drinks, service, ambiance were all good. Unfortunately when I went today I had a different experience. My friend and I came in today for a quick drink and sat out on one of the couches. We waited about 10 minutes and not a single server came to check on us. So we moved upstairs and there were no servers. We went back downstairs and sat at the bar and finally a bartender asked us if we wanted anything. While sitting at the bar there were several waiters at the end of the bar all just hanging out and talking. Very disappointed in the service today. read more

I've been here a few times. Nice location, overpriced but nothing special. I was here yesterday with a good friend enjoying a nice afternoon cocktail. I ordered some drinks and my friend and I took a seat on the Adirondack chairs on the dock. The bartender approached us (after having served me) and asked if I had any other shirt I could put on (I was wearing a basketball jersey). I said I didn't. She asked that I purchase a shirt to wear because they have a policy against men in sleeveless shirts. I politely declined and asked for our check. She brought it and said we needed to leave at that moment, rather than finish our drinks because her boss was about to come back and she was going to get fired for having served me in the first place. She was entirely unapologetic for having to enforce a stupid rule for a dockside bar. If she even pretended to be the slightest bit sympathetic, I would have bought a shirt, gotten one from my friend's house a few blocks away etc. The rule is one issue and questionable itself, but the way this woman enforced it was inexcusable. She made me feel as if I had done something wrong and had not only inconvenienced her, but put her job in jeopardy via my wardrobe choices. A lesson from someone who was in the restaurant business for a long time. If you inconvenience customers because of a policy whether you agree with it or not, pay for their drinks. It's not our fault that she has to enforce the stupid rule. But she could at least have tried to make it right. Additionally, making someone pound their drink and then get behind the wheel is illegal and unethical. I worked at a higher-end restaurant at a beach club in New York. Dress code there was that men had to wear jackets. Very silly for a beach club, But strictly enforced. I hated losing the business, so I was very apologetic to guests that I had to refuse to seat. Simple courtesy. We could also talk about how a men's sleveless shirt ban is likely an attempt to keep minority customers out, but that is a conversation for another time. I certainly will not be back. read more

The best thing is the location! The entertainment is good as well! The problem I have is the lack of alcohol options...minimal option specifically with vodka! Selfishly, that's what I like. This is primarily a bar and I was surprised with the lack of options! The food is way over priced and not of good quality!! Eat before! The bar doesn't itemized you bar tab! I suggest you ask because every time I visited, there has been extra drinks on my tab that my party did not order or drink! The Tipsy Seagull could do much better! read more

I have lived in Fall River for a year now and I've wanted to check this place out. We got there around 8:15 on a Saturday online it says that it closes after 9:30. The kitchen was running behind so they closed at 9 tonight. We waited to be seated for 45 minutes which would have been fine because we were assured that we would be served food because we were already in line. We sat up at the bar area for about 15 minutes were not given menus or even acknowledged by the server or bar tender. I finally had to ask for a menu and were were told to scan something and look at it on our phone. Then we were told no we couldn't order food after being told multiple times by the guy in the front that because we waited we could order. We finally left and went to Jillian's up the street. NEVER AGAIN!!! Don't bother with this place terrible service and staff clearly doesn't communicate. Also when we were in line a group of guys were put ahead of us because part of their group was "already there" I'm so disappointed read more

My wife and I went here based on a recommendation of a "local". We wanted to eat by the water. I have to say that it was a nice surprise. The decor is confusing. It has the look of a "local" place but it had some areas that look said they're trying to appeal to a wider audience. The food was very good. My wife is very picky when it comes to nachos and loved the ones here! She had a salad for lunch and I had a sandwich that was good. They use fresh, good quality bread. It was great. The service was also fantastic! My only issue is they were out of things. Hot summer day means cider for me. They were out. I was going to have their spicy chicken salad wrap...but they were out of chicken salad. My wife asked for guacamole but...they were out but making more and she was able to have some. I'd go back there. If you go, ask the server if they're out of anything first. read more

Never again. How do you get a fly in a Coors light? One sip and I almost threw up. Bartender was very pissed that I sent it back but wth... complained to the waitress that she can't help flys... unreal. read more

Went for the first time just for drinks and watch the beautiful sunset. Fun crowd. Decent drinks. I enjoyed myself and would return for another visit. read more

Tipsy Seagull - Sunset 2 - Restaurants Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Do you know that split second feeling you get when you wake up away from home and for a fleeting moment, you think you're still there? Well, the same phenomenon can be experienced at the Tipsy Seagull, only it works the other way around. Because if you're from Fall River, when you visit the Tipsy you don't at all feel like you're home. Key West, perhaps. But hardly Fall River. Wherever you think you are, it's probably more pleasant than where you came from. After all, what's not to love about a floating bar in Massachusetts that also permits smoking? And with the comfort of knowing there are Sam Adams Summer Ale, Blue Moon and Land Shark on tap, you can take in the great views of Mount Hope Bay without the gnawing frustration of having to endure cheap American light beer. Theoretically, strict enforcement of the dress code should help to keep the 50 Cent wannabes at bay, making this a great go-to spot for years to come. read more

I was very pleasantly surprised when I finally paid a visit to the Tipsy Seagull recently on a warm Friday night. We started with a couple of cheap beers, snagged a couch and enjoyed the view of the boats in the harbor as the sun set. Beautiful scenery + live music + comfy couches to lounge on the lower deck + a well-behaved crowd all help you forget for a bit that you're in the Dirty Riv. My only complaints would be the smokers everywhere (people still smoke? seriously? come on!) and way too much sour mix in the margarita (even after I requested NO sour mix, yuck!) Toss overboard, any expectations of what you think a dockside bar in Fall River will be like and give the Tipsy a try for yourself. read more

YEAH Tipsy Seagull!! We stopped at the Tipsy Seagull by chance around 3 on a Sunday afternoon... the weather had been iffy and overcast for the last few days and I had second thoughts of entering upon looking up at the sky, but as soon as we got out of the car the sound of the band ("Second Chance") playing surprisingly impressive covers of Kenny Chesney, Jack Johnson, the Beatles and the like -lured me in. I'm so glad we stayed - the weather cleared up, and it was such a nice change of pace from a routine visit to a stuffy bar to being able to collapse onto a comfy couch and kick my feet up with a glass of wine, wind blowing in my hair, sun on my face, staring out at the water (though not the most scenic of views, you're looking right at the Braga bridge and the water towers ----these days when it comes to being near the ocean, I'll take whatever i can get!!) A tiki-style bar complete with fake palm trees and cheesy lights. Great spot for people watching. For being such a dive, I was surprised at how clean the bathrooms appeared. I ordered the grilled fish tacos and hubs had the lobster roll which was generously stuffed with lobster meat - he said it was great! Fish tacos were standard to sub-par and I had to go up and ask for the guac and sour cream which they forgot about, but I was so happy to be outside on the water listening to great music, I really didn't care too much about the food! I would not plan on going here with the sole intention of having a delicious lunch or dinner. If you are looking for a change of scene for an afternoon booze-fest or night out for drinks, definitely check this place out! Tip -we noticed a sign upon leaving that noted no one under the age of 25 is allowed in on weekends after 7pm (to keep the college floozies from jumping in the bay??), and they also have dress code rules for guys - no tank tops, etc. - a guy wearing camo shorts was turned away. Make sure if you wear a hat that it is "appropriately curved", and "worn correctly". read more

The parking alone will set you off on a bad tone, but overall the food is not great. my buffalo dip was so salty I could not eat it Be prepared to get side eye'd by all the regulars Dress code is strict, and they will make you leave mid drink if they don't like what youre wearing (no tank tops for men) "25+ After 3pm on Saturday & Sunday. Children Welcome for Lunch & Dinner with Supervision" seems a little contridicting This place has the potential to be great and unfortunately lacks the fun atompshere you would expect it to have read more

Sweet spot for eats, drinks and brews. Fall Rivers' own floating restaurant makes me wish summer lasted for another 18 months (then again, that's a good idea no matter what). I do hope they bring in some of the local brew because sitting at the bar, sipping a cold brew at the Tipsy is close to heaven. read more

Tipsy Seagull - Welcome to summer - Restaurants Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

I recently ate at Tipsy Seagull and very much enjoyed the food and their drinks that were pleasant and not overpowering. I had the Paradise Burger for a quick bite with pasta salad which was fresh and tasty. The service staff was a bit slow, but it was due to how busy the place gets. I would definitely go back and try the different foods they have to offer and you cannot beat the ocean scenery despite the industrial look on the opposite side of the channel. The couch was comfortable and the company was awesome! The place had a Caribbean ambience not including the blow up palm tree. All in all was a relaxing environment with great wines and spirits. I very much plan to visit in the future. Thank you LMB for joining me. JF read more

Fun especially when the big waves come and get yeah! Hope they continue to have live music !

Last night my boyfriend, myself and my boyfriends best friend decided we were going to come here. First off parking was horrendous, had to park about 5 minutes walk away which was sort of expected since it was one of the first really nice summer like nights. There was a "bouncer" or ID checker waiting at the entrance to the restaurant, he checked our ID's and we were in. The place was packed but we found a table after two ladies gave it to us after we left. We ordered 2 of the dirty monkeys and a mudslide . Online it says they have wings, but my boyfriend asked and the waiter said no wings. The drinks came quickly. Throughout the night we ordered more drinks which were good, and when my boyfriends best friend's girlfriend arrived around 6-630(?) it was still busy. I had to ask for a water three times and waited about 20 mins for the waiter to bring it over which was really annoying. Buffalo chicken dip was delicious, boyfriend had black and blue burger which he thought was good, boyfriends best friend had quesadillas which were good, boyfriends best friends girlfriend had Buffalo chicken dip as well & I had a cheese pizza which was warm and melty and delicious. We were charged for an extra Buffalo dip we didn't order but the waiter took it off as soon as we pointed out the error. Overall it was a decent trip out, just the service could've improved as well as the noise level which was consistently loud through the night. ** also note as well there are bathrooms not at the restaurant that instead are near the front near the marina, and women can use all 4 of them but men can only use 2.. should all be made unisex. ** people were smoking at the restaurant, cigarettes and cigars which was nasty and the restaurant should have a policy against this if they don't already. read more

Great place to hang out in the summer. I can't comment on the food, since I only had beer during my visit. Regarding the atmosphere, this place provides a pleasant and unique drinking environment (as long as the weather cooperates). located on floating docks in the Taunton river, "tipsy" makes for an appropriate part of the name. Prices are average and they carry a good selection of beer. read more

Wife and I stopped by on a early weekend night. They say a key to a business is location location location. Well this place has a beautiful location. It's on the water in a very quite area. I forgot we were in Fall River. Found a seat very quickly, it's seat yourself. I have been told it gets very crowded late... There menu is small, so I got a turkey club and the wife got a chicken wrap. Decent club, would have been great with french fries, but they don't serve them. Really??? Service was quick. Had a few beers before leaving. Bar area look fun and inviting, lots of people hanging out enjoying the day. You can also dock you boat and stop by for a meal. Love it... If you live in the area and enjoy a water front view while drinking a few brewskies you will love this little place. I say stop by before the summer is over... read more

Tried going there on this gorgeous day after spending the day with my girl at the beach on this warm day just yo be refused from going in because i was wearing a tank top? I find it very discriminating when woman are allowed to wear tank tops and men cant. "Unless you own a boat" this is 2018 people get with it. Its just a tank top not nudism whats the damm preoblem? The damm place is on the water! Its not a high class place. Drinks are way overpriced and heard the food aint all that anyways. read more

It was okay. Not a really happening place but in a really cool location. I see the vision they were going for... read more

We just ate at the Tipsy Seagull for the first time !!! Great spot !!!! Nakia our waitress was fantastic !! We will be back soon before the weather changes !!!!! read more

Great place to share some time with friends good food and entertainment is great funhouses

I LOVE the Tipsy Seagull because it's a tropical Island in Fall River and they have live music and a sandy beach (OK it's on a barge but it's real sand) and a really cool spot with views of the harbor, is it crowded and a little hard to get a drink ? Well yes if you're there on a beautiful summer day at happy hour. Be patient and friendly like most of the people and you'll be OK. read more

It gets really busy sometimes and too crowded. Their buffalo dip is really good! The view is great too

We usually love coming to the Tipsy Seagull from Rhode Island but not last night! We chose to sit at the upstairs bar with bartender, Jay. HE was the worst bartender. HE was unpleasant and complained about being there the whole time to someone named, Jen. (also a worker) One member of our group arrived late and waited & waited for a drink. After 25 minutes, without a drink, we left the upstairs bar for a table downstairs. Billy was our waiter and he saved the night! Not only was he very pleasant, he was an excellent waiter. He was very attentive and remembered our orders without writing them down! Unfortunately, one of our burgers was raw in the middle and Billy made sure it was removed from the bill. BTW the place was moderately busy, with tables available and live music. We visited on a Thursday. read more

Worst experience of my life (and if you look at my other reviews, I'm usually pretty generous with compliments!) Took a couple hours to get served a draft beer (not exaggerating, literally took 2 hours for a bud light), the seating was uncomfortable, and there was food on the floor everywhere from previous customers. read more

This place is a great place to relax and have some overpriced cocktails. The atmosphere is amazing but the food is just awful. If you're planning on going there you're better off going to McDonald's first and eat, the food is better. I ordered nachos and they were burnt. The grill cheese wasn't melted and the pasta salad had no flavor other than butter. read more

The worst establishment I have ever been to in my life. A friend and I went because a local magazine was having a networking night there. I was drinking red wine, and after ordering one or two at $4.00 a piece, I wanted another. I tried to get the bartenders attention to no avail. I tried hard too but they kept ignoring us. I noticed that on the other end of the bar the other bartender was actually serving people, so I got my butt up went to the other end of the bar and ordered the same wine. "4.50" she said to me. What? I was just paying 4! She explained to me that the other register was ringing them up at that price. So of course, I told her to go to that register to ring up my wine. She didn't. No big deal, what was $.50? I get back to my seat, and my friend says 'watch them behind the bar, this place is so full of health code violations it's disgusting' I thought she was overreacting. She wasn't. This is what I saw (and I'm not making this up): 1. The three sink system was in place, but one sink was full of ice and beer. Because they didn't have a sink, they were rinsing the dishes directly into the sink that contained the beer bottles that they were serving customers. 2. The bus boy (or some young kid that worked in the kitchen) came out to empty the trash. The trash was too full to close up, so he proceeded to take one of the fry baskets that were stacked up, and push the trash down with it. Now, he rinses it in the sink with those same bottles I mentioned earlier (the basket was never scrubbed)and put it back in the pile of other baskets and put it in the kitchen. The view ain't worth the botulism. read more

If it's summer time and you're looking for a relaxing place to grab a drink, some good apps, and a waterfront view this is the place to be. The nightlife is great here with cheap drinks, typically well played live music, and beautiful people. I will say though there are better places to eat in the area for entrées but the apps are good. Specially the buffalo dip read more

This place has such an awesome atmosphere but the lowest quality food you can imagine and a slew of weird rules. I got a "bbq chicken pizza" that somehow tasted like scrambled eggs with ketchup. I don't even know how that happens. The salmon burger is awful, and the buffalo chicken dip is hit or miss. Heard great reviews on the hot dog from my mother though. FYI doesn't take discover card. It's 2019, why is this a thing? I can pay a merchant at a farmers market with discover on a square on their iPhone. "25+ after 7pm." I get where they're going with this rule but I've had my girlfriend turned away being 24 and me being 26 when we were going out to get food with my mother. A bit crazy. "No tank tops for men." Again I see a point to this but it's a tiki beach vibe it makes no sense and it's fine if you're female. I also had a friend not allowed in for a family dinner because he had camouflage shorts on. read more
