Customer Reviews
Tupper & Reed has a rating of 4.4 out of 5 based on over 583 reviews on Google
As a Black costumer who brought a Black guest to town, this was humiliating. This "artwork" is severely alienating and only humorous to those of you who aren’t offended by the racial epithet this word invokes. Extremely disappointing for a Berkeley establishment.
My friend and I were only in town for a couple days, but we ended up here both nights! What a quirky bar! The clientele was diverse, the music was good (and low so we could talk) and the drinks were phenomenal. They were so creative and well made that we had a terrible time deciding what to have. I wish this was my local, but I guess that means I’ll have to come back for a visit!
Excellent craft cocktails. Impressive balance in the drinks and the bartender is extremely knowledgeable.
Such a lovely spot with a warm fireplace and cozy dim lighting. We went on a Tuesday night, and since it wasn’t too busy, the staff even let us play pool for free! The cocktail menu is both extensive and creative—we had fun trying different options, and each one was well-balanced with a solid pour, not just sugary flavorings like at many other places. I also loved the complimentary popcorn bar, complete with unique toppings and flavor choices. For anyone who enjoys sweeter drinks, I’d recommend the "Everlasting Light", "Happy Idiot", and "Aztec Death Whistle". "Electric slide" and "Daytona Sand" were the strongest drinks. "How high" was the most sour.
Been here twice. In short, I get the impression that this is a "small fish in a tiny pond" kind of situation. Simply too moody bartenders and too average drinks to pay the same price as top cocktail bars in SF, New York, Tokyo, etc. (especially SF; if you're in the mood for cocktails and you're in Berkeley, no reason at all to go to this place when SF is just around the corner).
There is an upstairs with a bar, an eating area and a bathroom. There is a downstairs with a bar, a eating area and a bathroom. There also is a little area to sit outside. The drinks are not too strong or too watery. The bartender was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I would recommend a girls night out or a boys night out here.
Solid cocktail bar that has an old school feel. Giving low score in service as I asked the bartender some questions about drinks and he didn't seem very knowledgeable. Other than that a pretty good cocktail bar.
