This Friday (May 11th) marks the long-awaited and much-anticipated opening of Tip Top Kitchen and Cocktails downtown on Gay Street. The kick-off starts at 5pm and will run until 2:30am. These will be the temporary hours of operation as only drinks will be served at this time. The kitchen will be opening very soon and the hours will shift to 11am to 2:30am, 7 days a week!

Awesome. Looking forward to trying it out.
ride your bike down and have some drinks… i am.
I’ll probably just walk. 8)
any clue if there will be any good deals on?
I haven’t heard anything about drink specials, but if it’s anything like Betty’s and Surly Girl, they’re not going to be too expensive…
Happy Hour pricing will be going until around 9.
Their all-the-time-special is the Bottoms Up! $3 Whiskey and RC
wonderful…i think i just drooled a little on my keyboard…
Would like to, but Adult. is coming tomorrow http://www.adultperiod.com/ . I’ll be sure to check it out soon though, since it’s not too far a walk, as long as it’s not too hot. Got to put my money where my mouth is and support more downtown establishments.
Just got home after a long walk back from Tip Top. LOVED IT!
I was never in the Grapevine before, but the place has a great feel that I’d compare to a combination of Surly Girl, Lotus, and Flat Iron. Lots of brick, and an old-school vibe mixed with a hip young friendly crowd.
Their drink menu consists of a lot of Whisky drinks, Beers, and specialty mixed drinks. The only one I tried was the “Commit to be Lit” which was great even I don’t recall what all went into it. Flavored Vodkas? Juices? Goodness?
Anyway, I have two thoughts for people who missed out tonight:
VIDEO PODCAST
CU MEETUP
coming soon…
great update! thanks for posting so quickly. i can’t wait to eat there once the kitchen opens. :D
based on the time of your post, i must’ve just missed you, walker, but the tip top ROCKS. busiest “soft” open i’ve ever seen. great bar, great booths — GREAT whiskey drinks.
obviously the internet’s changed the way events like this go down, but there’s no doubt in my mind it’s going to do well. especially once the food service starts. the exterior may be nondescript, yes, but it belies a very interesting inside.
drop in and take a look.
Yeah, supposedly they want to eventually rip the whole front of the building off and get some windows opening up to the patio. Either way, I’m sure it will do well to. When we left around 10:15ish the patio was still jumping. Looked busier than Due Amici’s patio which was still pretty crowded too.

The inside is a nice mix of brick and wood with many old photographs and antiques. They say the front will eventually be more open and are planning on opening the upstairs as well. The alcohol selection is similar to what they have at their other two locations, Surly Girl Saloon and Betty’s.

you had me at pinball :D

thank god for no touch tunes … those things suck.
nice video!
Parking is really awful in that area…any idea where to park if you’re not able to walk?
You can park at meters for free on weeknights all along Third, Fourth, Gay, and Long after 6PM. Parking immediately in front of the place is pretty much impossible. Due Amici takes up a lot of space with Valet, and the other spots go quick.
I was going to post up a little guide for this in the CU Meetup Post since indochick had a hard time parking for the last event. 8)
You can also just ride your bike! I understand that they will be offering a two wheel discount of some sort at some point. TTK&C is biker friendly.
It is nice to see good people doing well.
