Never really got this places 'shtick'…
Now, there are some positives for the Tippin Inn:
-It's connected to Bartolino's, so you can expect above average bar food if you go the food route
-It's located smack dab in the middle of Broadway
-A bunch of TV's if you're trying to catch a game
I guess that where the positive points end? Been here a number of times (weekend nights, week nights) and this place has always been bone empty. Even better, the times I've been there, the other 'person' (note, not "people") there is usually a old timer drinking a few and watching a game. Then the staff. The manager/owner is some loud guy running his mouth about whatever game is on or is shooting the shit with the bartenders. Haven't had a friendly bartender serve me in the handful of times I've been there…. Listen, if you want a out-dated looking bar, where you can just crawl into a whiskey bottle and hang out for a night by yourself or just watch a game by yourself, hey you're all set. But this place just has no vibe and is super generic. After a few visits now, think I'm all set….
Schlepped all the way to Queens for this? It was ok, but is it just me, When I go the other bureaus, I'm expecting a price break. But at $22 for a pitcher, you're not doing anyone any favors.
Somehow I managed to get BBQ wings, luckily after, we got buffalo wings, both were tasty, but we all know buffalo is the best.
Trivia on Thursdays is pretty legit & Brian's a friend. I just wish I was a bit more sober to answer some real questions. C'mon team sobriety-I've been prepping with Jeapordy!
I have been here a couple of times for "New York Free Poker" and Tippin Inn is a destination place for me. The bar is OK. It has the feel of a 60's or 70's style bar with formica bar top. Very sterile looking. I had the feeling "I walked on through the other side". Now I like these kind of places, but I just don't feel comfortable here. Hard to place my thumb on it. Is it the lighting? Music? Don't know????
Like I said, it is a destination place for me to play poker. Bartenders are nice. Pricing is average for the area. They give buybacks. I notice that any food ordered seems to come through a doorway in the middle of the room from the restaurant next door. Seems like same owners. No biggie. Food appeared to be tasty. Never had a meal here, just drinks.
Overall, if your here to play poker you will have a very good time. I guess if you're here with a group, you could make it happen, but solo????? With all the warm and comfortable bars in the area, Tippin Inn has some tough competition. I wish them well.
Pretty sweet bar. It's connected to Bartolino's next door. They have a few beers on tap, a pool table, jukebox, and plenty of seating. There are few LCD tv's that run along the top of the bar. The bartenders here are really sweet. They're nice, friendly, and very fast with their services. Throughout the night, I enjoyed a few bottles of Brooklyn Lager and then Shock Top on tap. It's a real cool place. It's not too far from the train station and parking isn't too difficult.
My friends and I decided to have a late-night Astoria adventure and check out a few places that we've never been to. I'm so glad we went here.
It was pretty empty, which was probably because the forecast said snow for last night. The upside of that was that we were able to get to know the super nice bartender and play pool for as long as we wanted (only $1 a game)! I can't speak on the food since we didn't order any, but the drinks were strong and we even got a free shot.
This place is bigger than it looks on the outside, so bring your friends and go hang out!
