The Tip Tap Room

Overall I think it's a good enough place to grab a bite if you're right in that area for a sit down but nothing special or that good. Cocktails were really bad, they have a great beer list though. Their apps are solid, had the chicken bao and the tikka Caesar. Chicken was dry in the bao but the sauce was solid, their "slaw" was literally just dry cilantro carrots and cucumbers. Chicken tikka caesar didnt taste at all like a caesar but again was good enough to finish the plate. The steak tips were cooked well, but tasted horrible. Tasted like dirty char, a bad smoky flavor not a good one and all the sides were awful too. No seasoning or good flavor. The Lamb burger was just fine. I'd go for beer and simple bites if I had to in that area.

Just had an excellent dinner here with B-Side (their supper club)! The tortellini was fantastic and I loved the bolognese. I enjoyed their cannolis as well, which had a hint of lemon but wasn’t over the top. It may have been a special menu, so the items we had might not be regularly offered, but I would definitely go back. The chef was super friendly and we all had a really great time!

🥘Had a great time tonight! I wasn’t hungry, so I just ordered a fried calamari and it was delicious—very fresh and chewy. Definitely give it a try! 🍺The beer selection is amazing there. I had two of the three fountain lambics from 2020 and a few others — they’re all excellent! 👩🏻‍🍳The service was fast and friendly.

Best place in Boston to try beers from local breweries! They have an amazing selection of IPAs, from classic West Coast styles to hazy New England favorites. Perfect spot for anyone who loves exploring the local craft beer scene!

Always wanted to come here to sit near the massive open windows and people watch. Glad I finally did it. The environment is electric. Food was standard American but well seasoned. Lamb burger and calamari were fantastic. Slight ding for the service. The waiter mixed up my order with another table. Fortunately, the mistake was corrected with no fuss.

Nice place to hang around and have a bite. Bit pricey but it’s beacon hill so it’s expected. Love the extended options on the drink list. Food is okay just standard bar food. The waitress is very nice. Overall nice experience.

We walked in and were promptly seated. The artwork on the walls and interior aesthetic was classy and contemporary. We sat at the bar. The bartender greeted us and served us with smile. It was an overall top notch experience visiting the tip top room this evening. We enjoyed some delicious food and a of couple coctails from the full bar. Whiskey lovers...theres a wide selection! Additionally the number of beers on tap is quite impressive. Very cool spot.

Had a great time at Tip Tap! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for a night out with friends. The beer selection was impressive, with a nice mix of local brews and unique options you don’t find everywhere. We ordered a few small plates to share—everything was tasty, especially the sliders and truffle fries. Service was solid overall, though it did take a little while to get our drinks at first. That said, our server was friendly and checked in often once things picked up. The vibe is definitely more on the energetic side, so maybe not the best for a quiet dinner, but ideal if you’re looking for a fun evening. Would definitely come back!

Phenomenal & will be back to try again! Parking is rough, if you don't catch something in front of the restaurant you might be searching for a while. Staff & service was friendly! Nothing out of the norm, average, quick, and attentive service. The food was phenomenal! I had the Beef tips & Chicken tips, and for dessert I had the "it's brownie time" ice cream & brownies combo, which I recommend highly. I love that the focus is around serving food in Tip as their highlight. I will say a lot of their food is cooked with alcohol, so slow down and read if that's something you're trying to avoid. Typically when restaurants charge higher in price the food is average in taste, but everything else we ate was a home run. I will be back to try more! For the scenery of the restaurant it was a mix of a Bar and fine dining. I like that, if you're there to watch sports and hangout you can easily do that. If you're there for a nice and simple date they've separated a space to do just that as well. It's been a while since I've been enthusiastic about a restaurant and I have to say the restaurant was a great experience, please try!

What happened to Tip Tap Room? I have been a few times and raved about the food and the vibe. I brought a friend last night and was so disappointed. They had run out of their once-excellent fries and replaced them with wet, soggy, flimsy "hand cut fries" alongside a chorizo/brisket burger that was a sloppy mess. The Tikka Caeser seemed hastily tossed together and was way under par. We wanted to order more food but didn't want to risk more mediocrity. My friend could not understand what I saw in this place. Whatever they had, they lost it.

I don't often leave Yelp reviews, but my husband and I so thoroughly enjoyed our visit here that I had to leave 5 stars for them. Excellent service--the host and staff were friendly and joked back with me and my husband. They also checked in on us just the right amount (not too often, but not too infrequently either). The food was killer. If I lived locally, I would be stopping by all. the. time. for that $1 toast with rosemary maple butter. Such a good deal!! And only advertised in tiny print at the top of the menu! It's such a hit, though! In addition to the toast w/rosemary maple butter, we got the fried chicken bao buns, chinois chicken salad, and shrimp risotto dishes--all of these blew us away beyond our expectations. Super flavorful, quality ingredients. I also love that they had vegan cheese + tofu options for their dishes :') The only downside was that the shrimp risotto only came with 4 shrimp on top which didn't seem like a lot considering the price, but they tasted super good and my husband was satisfied regardless. We didn't get any beers/cocktails but the draft list was pretty extensive; gotta respect the variety they had. I'd go out of my way to eat here again, highly recommend!!

The atmosphere here manages to be both sophisticated and relaxed, Nice view while dining. Great service too! I ordered the steak frites cooked to a perfect medium with a deep, salty crust. It was tender enough to melt but had that essential beefy bite. The sauce was silky and sharp, tying the whole plate together without overpowering the meat. Overall a cool nice place to come enjoy dinner or sit at the bar to have a drink.

Stopped in on a Sunday for a quick lunch. I was kind of bummed because when I saw the wings on the reviews, that was what I planned to order, but they had a separate brunch/lunch menu for that day. However, the bartender asked the cooks and they made me the wings! They were so good, they had such a unique flavor and I believe I tasted tarragon coming through. ! So 5 stars for service and hospitality. Also the espresso martini was delish! The spicy ranch is great with the fries.

This place was a mixed bag but ultimately disappointing. Starting with the good, the menu and drink list are very fun and a great mix. The draft list is also very extensive and great for pre-game or concerts at TD. Unfortunately, the actual food left a lot to be desired. I will give them props for bringing the dishes split in two after my partner expressed that we would be sharing everything. However, the portion of risotto was so sad that I'm hoping the actual size is larger. It had 4 pieces of shrimp and it was more so wet rice than risotto, there was no creaminess. Also, the tikka masala Cesar was just tikka masala over lettuce (with broccoli?) there was no Caesar aspect. In addition, the steak burger was mushy and flavorless. Even the cheese was strange and very hard. Alps charging extra to put cheese on a burger that comes with nothing but sauce is laughable. Service was also confusing with all servers parking at all tables so multiple servers came up to take our order and we had to keep sending the away as we had already ordered. Overall the menu is very experimental but not executed well and service needs some organization and communication between the team.

Fun spot to hang out at! Came here on New Years Eve (just walked by while strolling through looking for ice sculptures) and we were able to sit at the bar without a wait. Things were starting to pick up as it was a bit later (930/10pm) and we enjoyed a couple drinks here before making our way to one more spot for the final countdown. Our bartender was friendly and the drinks were great. We tried an old fashioned, mean eyed cat margarita, and an espresso martini. They were delicious and potent. They have an extensive beer and spirit menu too, and a lot of tempting food options that I would definitely like to try if I return next time I'm in town!

I really just dropped in and out for a drink right as they closed, so my rating is only for them as a bar. The bartenders were incredibly kind to let us sample beers less than 20 minutes before closing and even make us a nonalcoholic cocktail as they were closing up. Beers are a bit pricey, but nothing unusual for the area. $10 after tax and tip for a draft pour.

Great beer list ...just as good menu .Every chance I'm in Boston I'm here.can't wait to come back

Tried more of the menu and was pleased overall! Pork dumplings were savory, steak tips tender, and calamari was generously breaded and fried. We also had the beet salad which was probably the only thing that wasn't special. The drink menu is larger than the food menu so there are lots of options for everyone. I enjoyed my cocktails.

This place is absolutely awesome. I would definitely visit the Tip Tap room frequently if I lived in the area. We were the first ones there; we arrived shortly after they opened (no reservations). They have an awesome, diverse menu with a ton of great beer choices. I was planning on trying one of the brews, but someone started with a Bloody Mary and we all followed suit. My friends had a beer chaser and were happy with their choices. I had a veggie burger that was absolutely delicious. Rave reviews on everything else including our awesome, engaging server. It got very busy quickly with large parties that had reservations. Definitely go here.

Service and ambiance was great! The food however falls short. The bread and butter was great and worth it but the Bao were nothing special wouldn't get again. The steak tips for $30 was not worth it. Nothing special and a little under cooked. Friends turkey club was not worth $20. There was maybe 10g of protein and nothing special to note. Overall very nice place to drink and yap but to get food I wouldn't come back.

I was guided by the beer menu, but the food menu earned the extra star. They have a section of the menu entitled "Tips" and I went for the unique Turkey Tips offering and wow it was amazing. Cooked turkey on top of creamed corn mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce was just so good. Coworkers got steak tips and enjoyed theirs too. The beer menu super unique as well. We had baked Alaska for dessert to round out a great meal. Servers were super friendly and efficient

Absolutely lovely. So many selections of beers on tap, tasty specials, and fast service. This cozy spot was within walking distance from our hotel, and it was the first thing we ate in Boston; after our stay in Maine, it tasted full of flavor and the portions are oversized! We ordered the Chorizo and Brisket Burger and the Hash, and holy guacamole it was good! The green sauce on the hash was super tasty and delicious! When we went, there were a couple of sports games on and not many people in the restaurant (it was in between meal times).

This place can best be described as having upscale sports bar vibes. As in, there is a large bar on one side of the dining room and TV screens in each corner of the room playing the latests sports game, but full-service restaurant tables everywhere else. Everyone but one person in our group got steak tips, and we all thoroughly enjoyed how tender and flavorful the dish was. I tried a bite of the tofu tips as well and it was equally well-cooked, with a nice crispy texture on the outside while being tender on the inside. This was not my personal favorite type of dining environment, since it was dimly lit and loud from the large number of people in the dining room, but no complaints at all on the food or service. The price was okay at $30 for the steak tips and $22 for the tofu tips. Would gladly come again if friends wanted to, but not my personal favorite choice in terms of ambiance and audibility for talking.

Good food and great service. Had the cauliflower, Korean bbq wings, calamari, and steak tips, yum with baked Alaska. Nice pub environment with fun art.

I went on a very rainy day and think it would be great on a sunny day! They have these super cool garage doors and ambience is both bar and sit down restaurant on different sides of the place. Pretty cool spot, I was pleasantly surprised to see a blackberry caipirinha on the menu! It was very good. Sitting at the bar you can see into the kitchen which was also neat. Service was very quick for drinks!

I got the steak tips..... Damn. Perfectly cooked, loved the marinade. The horse radish mashed potatoes were unbelievable. I'll be back!

LOVE the vibe of this place! Met up with some old friends and grabbed dinner here before an event at TD Garden and the service was fast and efficient! We made reservations, but arrived 20mins early and the lovely host seated us right away while we waited for the rest of the party to arrive. We started out with the pork dumplings and were pleasantly surprised with how delicious they were! Great flavor and very authentic dumplings with a little kick to them (tiny bit spicy, but not too bad, as I'm very sensitive to spicy foods!). I ordered the Tofu Tips, which made me laugh at the name, but they were actually superb! Often when I order a vegetarian meal, there is very little flavor. This dish was the opposite. So much taste in every bite and served in a fairly large portion. Loved the sliced avocado on the side to mix with the sautéed baby spinach, squash and peppers. One of my friends ordered the lamb burger, which he states was phenomenal, with "a little kick to it"! I ate some of his fries...and they were cooked to perfection- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Big thumbs up for his dish! My other friend ordered the Chicken Tips and said it was absolutely delicious. We were all thoroughly impressed with our meals and the friendly and efficient service! We wrapped up in time to get to our event early without having to rush through our meal. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The cleanliness and vibe was top notch and the food and service were excellent. I will most definitely be back when I'm in Boston again! Yay!

Menu was tough but the food was overall good. The place was not busy and it looked pleasant inside.

The food was high quality and very flavorful! The service was friendly and attentive. The only thing I disliked was being sat SO closely to other diners. I hate that so many restaurants do that just to squeeze an extra table in.

This place is cozy, servers are nice and friendly. They really can give you recommendation of what their most frequently ordered dish if you are overwhelmed by their menu. Brunch and dinner menu are not that different IMO. They have nice arrays of cocktails, beer, wines. I ordered spicy fried chicken bao as appetizer. They are perfect!! My main dish was a brisket & chorizo burger. The burger is nice and juicy. I definitely recommend this place.

My friend and I stopped by here as we had time to kill before our reservation. Since it was the same night as a Celtics game, driving and parking was made more difficult. Nonetheless, we were still able to secure a parking spot in a nearby garage at a decent rate. Surprisingly, there was a table right near the door available for us to take. Since we were limited on time, we only could get one drink before having to hastily close our tab. I believe the drink I had was with lavender and I'm not sure what my friend got but we both enjoyed them. Overall, we had a good experience even though it was such a brief time. Staff were friendly and it was a casual, easy-going environment. Would come again to try more drinks and their yummy looking food.

Has the best experience! Victoria was an incredible waitress, even though it was one of her full shifts by herself. Attractive, friendly and made sure everything was perfect with my food allergy. Kalonny did an amazing job delivering food drinks and quickly with a smile. He was amazing Irenea the hostess was absolutely amazing Set the tone for a warm welcome. I can honestly say that I've never had such an outstanding experience before everything from start to finish was perfect. The food was phenomenal and I cannot wait to come back next time I visit.

I eat here frequently. The service is excellent and so is the food. The menu offerings are creative as well as delicious.

The Korean fried chicken is very declined! The sauce and flavor is on point! The lamb burger is surprising tasty! It's not gamey and is tender.

Been here a few times and it's been good every time! Great beer selection and food is unique but still tasty. I got the Korean wings which were tasty, the chorizo brisket burger was solid and the fries were super crispy. Parking nearby is a toss up. Be sure to bring your ID though as they check at the door

Really good food and really great beer! I had the pork dumplings and a great Imperial Stout. There's a great vibe and diverse menu. Service was great too! I've been looking for unique beer offerings in Boston CBD and this is the place!

SURPRISE! This place was great. Vibe was fun, service excellent, my steak tips were awesome. I thought this was a bar, but it's a super restaurant. Packed with people, fun time and great eats!

True to form, The Tip Tap Room offers both tips and, you guessed it, taps. The tips come in the form of various meats cut into small pieces ("tips") and served atop a bed of mashed potatoes and veggies. The taps, well: drink up. They have a pretty extensive beer list which includes some ciders but they also have a full bar, wines and any number of beverages sure to make an Uber a necessity. Although tempted by tips, I went rogue and got the Chicken Tikka Sandwich and it was delicious. Shredded chicken smothered in Masala sauce, paired with cheese and cilantro and served in a folded over naan bread wrap which was really sort of a taco but I digress. It was awesome and came with a heaping pile of seasoned fries. I washed all that goodness down with a tequila aged sour and I would absolutely do it again.

Came here as our last hoorah brunch before heading back to the airport and it was amazing! The presentation and taste of the food was delicious. Service was good, at first it was a little slow but then picked up a bit. The resturant is big and perfect for brunch, lunch, dinners. The area is close to Mass General and Beacon hill so close by to a lot of places. The ambiance was great and glad we got to check it out. We ordered the avocado toast, chorizo, corn beef hash and omelet. We also got the Bloody Mary and it had everything! A bit spicy but a nice tinge of spice not too overwhelming. The food though all had a tiny spice.

We stayed in Boston on the 23rd, December and visited the spot. The place is decent, can recommend due to the following experiences: The beer kart is good, any one can find what he/she wants w/o breaking the neck The burger was delicious The Desert was unexpectedly outstanding ( it might still sugar speaks for myself) The other fancy dish my wife ordered met her goal. Service is great, not annoying and friendly

All I can say is WOW! We had to come to MGH today and I walked up and down the street looking for a place to have lunch. It's a cold damp, drizzly day. Even though I had already walked by this place because I wanted to check out the other restaurants, I HAD to come back here and I'm so glad that I did. What intrigued me was the whole baked cauliflower. I have always wanted to try it, but what won me over was the daily special. Seared wild Icelandic cod. OMG. It was beautifully plated and presented. It had 3 amazingly, top-notch flavored, steamed clams with broccolini. The waitress served it and topped it off with a shrimp bisque right at the table. The bloody Mary's were almost too spice for me but didn't stop me from having a 2nd one!

great food, good selection of beer. busy location / sidewalk seating - loud but not terrible. close enough to train station

I'm flabbergasted that the average review is so low here. I have never been so impressed with a casual restaurant's food. Don't let the bar vibe fool you. The kitchen whips up some insane stuff. I had the wild game bolognese. My boyfriend had the burger. We split the bao buns and the side of bread (with some BOMB homemade butter). Every dish was perfectly cooked, portioned, and flavored. All the drinks were fantastic too. I liked the cocktail the bartender recommended me. 11/10! This place deserves much more notoriety.

Well, this place was a quick walk from the Wyndham hotel. We wanted a drink, grabbed seats at the bar, I was only looking for a drink, had some wine which was tasty! The three others got macaroni & cheese and the lamb burger. The lamb burger diner said it needed cheese or seasoning. She asked for feta. I skipped and went for dessert. It was blackberry bread pudding! So decadent. Warm and delicious. I could have gotten crème brûlée or a brownie sundae both looked great- but the bread pudding seemed to be a custom dessert for this establishment.

We were looking for a good place to get some different craft beers and actually found rather limited options in the downtown area. Thankfully the Tip Tap Room fit not just the craft beer push but had incredible food to boot. Amazing gastropub despite an industrial/modern vibe. The beer menu is huge. I had the Oro Negro from Jackie O's which was rich and delicious. There's multiple beers of every style and I love that it's not dozens of pale ales. We started with the fried calamari and this was one of the best fried calamari dishes I think I've had. It seemed so lightly fried and was therefore dry and crispy rather than oily. Would strongly recommend. My wife got the lobster bisque and she said it was incredible. She wasn't sure that's what she really wanted when she walked in, but was thrilled with her choice. I got the swordfish tips which were really well cooked and super flavorful. I was also concerned they wouldn't put much swordfish on the plate but actually the serving size was perfect. I really liked the citrus creme. The olive tapenade potatoes were just ok. Will 100% return next time I'm in Boston

We came here during lunch time and it was pretty empty. Host was nice and welcoming, accommodated our needs. Our waitress was attentive, overall the service was good. The only reason for the three stars is the food. We had pork dumplings as an appetizer, they were good but nothing extraordinary. The brisket and chorizo burger was SO SALTY and burnt. My friend had the steak burger and also said it was high on salt. Drinks were good.

Love this spot. Food is solid and the beer selection is great. Probably 30+ beers on tap. Food is tasty for bar food. On a nice day the garage doors are open which is nice. Not a destination but if you're in the area you will be happy.

Food is perfect staff is amazing Are here multiple times on a business trip. Every visit was great food, excellent drinks

Awesome beer. Steak frites is killer and priced fairly. Just a rock solid easy going spot.

Nice vibe, friendly staff and delicious chicken rigatoni. However, for what has the feel of a semi-casual week night neighborhood spot, this restaurant is overpriced. $23 for a plate of pasta and a whopping $17 for Brussels sprouts? I feel like it's unjustified given the kind of restaurant this is. While we're at it, may I recommend you do NOT order the "brownie", because it's got very little of a brownie. It's more of a hard, dark and bitter-chocolate bar covered in nuts and whipped cream, in other words NOT a brownie, and just not that great tasting, we left most of it on the plate.

Whole fish was great, fresh and good side beets. Tuna salad is ok. Calamari all the time best :)

This place was tip top! The turkey tips was one of the best meals I've had recently! The turkey was crispy on the outside and perfectly moist on the inside! I also loved how the fennel, and cranberry slaw complemented the flavor! The bed of creamed corn potatoes had a great texture and made the dish nice and filling! So good!!

Swung by for brunch and was surprised at the unique offerings on the menu. I tried the chicken tikka caesar salad, and it was a poor choice--the form factor alone was difficult to get around with the huge hunks of lettuce, and slow cooked chicken falling apart over everything, but beyond that there was really no cohesiveness to the dish. Definitely stick to the more conventional offerings here--my friends had a much better time with the Tip Tap Breakfast and an Omelet.

The food is SO delicious I will be back again! Service is quick, I sat at the bar. The ambiance is loud, busy, and crowded. I went around 7pm on a Thursday. I cannot say enough about how delicious the food is! I had a beet salad prior to a steak burger.

Great options for a variety of different tastes and all are great. Wild game options, best beer selection around. Great service.

The food was super tasty, and the service was wonderful. The baked Brie was amazing, apple pie was perfect. The stray frites was just ok, but all the other dishes were amazing.

Great beer selection but food poor. Tasteless bao buns, bizarre rabbit dish had about 2 ozs of rabbit and no flavor. Service really slow and very pricey for what you get. Very disappointing
