    Darts in the back!
    Cynthia W.

    We randomly searched on google two weekends ago for a local dive bar and found this place. We loved it so much, we went again last Saturday. Ciara is super friendly and a wonderful bartender! We love how there are darts in the back. Enjoyed playing that both times. Lots of variations of dart games available. They take quarters or bills. Pretty cheap to play! There is also a pool table too. Maybe next time, we will try that out. The fried cheese ravioli is to die for. So delicious. Also the fried chicken was nice and crispy. We ended up doing some karaoke too. Starts at 8pm on Saturdays. After a few drinks, its all fun! Such chill vibes. We are definitely adding this bar to our rotation of bars now. =)

    Let me just start off with saying I love this little place. Somewhat like a speakeasy honestly and it's in a good location! Location- right by the freeway and in n out. Usually do my grocery shopping before I come here since it's in such a good location and close by home. Been coming here consistently for the last 3 weeks and love it! Everything is near by! Atmosphere- the vibes here are warming and kind! All bartenders are lovely and very nice with helping me order my drinks. Even the people who stop by here are super cool and kind. Me and my friends love coming here. Parking- there's always parking and it free so could never go wrong. Plus the entry is right next to the lot. Overall I love this place and they deserve more business. Was hoping to gate keep but everyone should come check it out even on weekdays. Love having the pool table all to myself!

    So I should have done this a long time ago. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, this place is the sh*t. I love Friday nights for Karaoke. Usually it's R&B, oldies with a little light rock and country music. Singers are usually pretty good. It's a vibe. But what I love most is the service and the quality of the drinks. Alex Jr. Is a great bartender!!! He makes a killer Espresso Martini. So does the owner!! I also get a shot called a Pink P*ssy. So good. Ordering it is hard to do a first. I whisper. But after a couple of these, all shame goes out the window. They also have food, a pool.table and a nice patio. Bathroom is always really clean. There is security at the door and they are friendly. I always meet nice people here. It's just a good time.

    Just what you need with a few bourbons

    I can't believe I haven't left a review for the Tip Top yet! After moving from fremont and losing my local bar I moved to San Lorenzo and went to EVERY local watering hole I could to find a home. Then I found the tip top tavern. Such a cool laid back place. Strong drinks and amazing peolple. The owners are the best! Alex (jr) is the man, Trina is a sweetheart and Ciara... the woman has looked out for our crew like no one else. This team is amazing and I'm so glad I found a local bar that we're happy and comfortable at, as well as dog friendly when we bring big Ol' Cletus or Darnell with us on summer patio days. More than a bar more like a great family WITH an amazing kitchen!! Best bar food in the area hands down! If I don't feel like cooking best believe I am here!! Not a review more of a thank you to the whole crew. Keep up the good work. The Bay Area is losing its local bars. This is the best one.

    It's a Friday night. Decided to stop by here before picking up the stepsons from OAK airport. Their flight was delayed. We got here around 10:30 pm. We got parking right across the street. The place was still relatively empty except for folks at the bar. Apparently it's Karaoke night. Some guy was singing "My way" I kid you not (see the video below). The lady and I got a good table. The place filled up within 30 minutes. The clientele reflects the community around San Leandro. Quite diverse. Staff seemed to know the table of bikers that came in. Atmosphere is chill, despite the loud bangers between karaoke songs. DJ was cuttin' it up with Yay Area club classics. We had the lumpia and the lemon pepper strips. Lady had Diet Coke while I had a pint of Sierra Nevada. The staff is friendly and attentive.

    Fried zucchini sticks and chicken wings. On point

    This hole in the wall I found a couple yrs ago is a great spot to check out if you haven't been. Has a good size bar with bartenders that tend to your every need with knowledge how to make a good cocktail. There bar food was hot and made fresh. Great service, cool people,music, tv's all good also a pool table, and outdoor area to smoke or watch the game if you want

    Came for dinner and a Warriors game. We had the Club Sandwich, which was on the plain side and tasted dry, maybe because it had little to no mayonnaise. They probably should have included a little cuplette of mayo as an option. The Fish and Chips were just ok. The fish was flaky but the very thick and -salty batter was over-fried which made the fish also a bit dry. They do have a warm wait staff though. And it was either the owner or manager who surveyed the room often and conscientiously to ensure we had everything we needed. There's definitely a great community vibe there. A table full of locals were playing games and acting like family though how diverse they looked pretty much confirmed they were at best brothers and sisters from a different mother. There's a lot of screens to watch the games though a couple TVs toward the side facing the bar had strange dark spots, which I hope they will fix soon. A parking lot's on the premises, but it's small. Should be ample street parking though. And a pool room sits in the back if you get bored watching the game. The Soundprint app recorded the noise level on the moderately high side at 77.

    We wanted a dive bar to pass time on a buisness trip. We had a blast and the bartender was extremely accommodating. The juke box was banging and the drinks were flowing. We walked to our hotel. I bought a shirt I like it so much!

    Nice bar with outdoor patio to smoke at. The bar has a pool table, TVs, Jukebox, and space. There's locals and newbies. The bar serves food!

    A friendly place, drinks priced right, food is great. Parking is a challenge. But it is well worth it.

    Ask the Community - TipTop Tavern

    Do they put on NFL football games?

    Yes they do

    Is there a heavy rep of 49ers fans? Looking for a place to watch the game and it's more fun to me when the place is mostly my fan base.
