The Tipsy Crow occupies arguably downtown’s most historic building, dating back to 1874, exuding all the stimulation and excitement of a multi-level, vibrant venue. The Main Bar has been serving customized cocktails since before the days of prohibition. The Lounge, also known as “The Nest” originated as a house for firecrackers with an inevitable explosive ending and was then whispered to have become a risque gentlemen’s club. It still retains such charm as it watches over one of the busiest corner’s in the Gaslamp. Finally as you descend into The Underground you will notice the authentic German slogans inscribed on the original brick wall and envision Mick Jagger performing on stage and even Joe Namath sipping on some champagne in the corner booth.
Great bar in Gaslamp. There are three floors, all with different vibes. The basement floor reminds me of a club with upbeat music and a party-like atmosphere. The main floor is great for dining since there’s more seating and a calmer vibe. The top floor was my favorite since there was a room with a pool table and the crowd was just so friendly and fun. Went to a bunch of different bars that night but this was my personal favorite if you’re looking for great drinks and good vibes.
