Overall I think it’s a good enough place to grab a bite if you’re right in that area for a sit down but nothing special or that good. Cocktails were really bad, they have a great beer list though. Their apps are solid, had the chicken bao and the tikka Caesar. Chicken was dry in the bao but the sauce was solid, their “slaw” was literally just dry cilantro carrots and cucumbers. Chicken tikka caesar didnt taste at all like a caesar but again was good enough to finish the plate. The steak tips were cooked well, but tasted horrible. Tasted like dirty char, a bad smoky flavor not a good one and all the sides were awful too. No seasoning or good flavor. The Lamb burger was just fine. I’d go for beer and simple bites if I had to in that area.

Just had an excellent dinner here with B-Side (their supper club)! The tortellini was fantastic and I loved the bolognese. I enjoyed their cannolis as well, which had a hint of lemon but wasn’t over the top. It may have been a special menu, so the items we had might not be regularly offered, but I would definitely go back. The chef was super friendly and we all had a really great time!

Had a great time tonight! I wasn’t hungry, so I just ordered a fried calamari and it was delicious—very fresh and chewy. Definitely give it a try!
The beer selection is amazing there. I had two of the three fountain lambics from 2020 and a few others — they’re all excellent!
The service was fast and friendly.

Best place in Boston to try beers from local breweries! They have an amazing selection of IPAs, from classic West Coast styles to hazy New England favorites. Perfect spot for anyone who loves exploring the local craft beer scene!

Always wanted to come here to sit near the massive open windows and people watch. Glad I finally did it. The environment is electric.
Food was standard American but well seasoned. Lamb burger and calamari were fantastic.
Slight ding for the service. The waiter mixed up my order with another table. Fortunately, the mistake was corrected with no fuss.

Nice place to hang around and have a bite. Bit pricey but it’s beacon hill so it’s expected. Love the extended options on the drink list. Food is okay just standard bar food. The waitress is very nice. Overall nice experience.

We walked in and were promptly seated. The artwork on the walls and interior aesthetic was classy and contemporary. We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and served us with smile. It was an overall top notch experience visiting the tip top room this evening. We enjoyed some delicious food and a of couple coctails from the full bar. Whiskey lovers…theres a wide selection! Additionally the number of beers on tap is quite impressive. Very cool spot.

Had a great time at Tip Tap! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends. The beer selection was impressive, with a nice mix of local brews and unique options you don’t find everywhere. We ordered a few small plates to share—everything was tasty, especially the sliders and truffle fries.
Service was solid overall, though it did take a little while to get our drinks at first. That said, our server was friendly and checked in often once things picked up. The vibe is definitely more on the energetic side, so maybe not the best for a quiet dinner, but ideal if you’re looking for a fun evening.
Would definitely come back!
