Mr. Tipple's Jazz Club

39 Fell St, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA
website

Mr. Tipple’s Jazz Club sits in San Francisco’s Civic Center area, just off Market, on a block that feels quieter than the room inside. It is a compact, low-lit space with a small stage, tightly packed tables, and a long bar that runs along one side. Sightlines are generally good, but it is an intimate room, so expect to be close to other guests and to the band.

The sound is full and present, more like a listening room than background music in a bar.

Most nights center on straight-ahead and modern jazz, with lineups that mix Bay Area regulars and touring groups. A typical evening is structured around two or three separate sets with ticketed showtimes, like early sets from groups such as the Elizabeth Schenck Quartet followed by later shows from touring artists like Eugenie Jones and her quartet. The schedule often features small ensembles that lean into improvisation, and the club keeps things moving with relatively quick turnarounds between sets. Guests tend to stay seated during the music, with most conversation kept to a low murmur.

Service is oriented around cocktails and a focused menu of Asian-influenced small plates and dim sum. The bar program puts some effort into classic and house drinks, and staff are used to serving in a dark, crowded room mid-set. The club operates as a full bar rather than a theater, with table service at most seats and checks handled at the end of the night. Open since 2015, it runs as a dedicated jazz venue with a capacity of around 100 people, so popular shows can feel busy even when the room is technically seated.
