I'm a non-smoker who doesn't mind being around smoke, but lately I've been bypassing the Tip Top for lunch because of the haze. A couple of commercial smoke extractors would help. In good weather there are two outdoor patios that ease the problem and get you out in the sunshine. Haven't been down there for any music in the evening, yet. Basically a good neighborhood bar, and those are in short supply.

Didnt think Tim would tolerate such a situation; probably wasnt aware right away.

I recommend this bar for an after work drink!!

At least parking isn't a problem. What I do mind is the lack of integrity of a few members of the wait staff. I do not go to the Tip Top Tavern any more because I was constantly being charged for more drinks than I had put on my tab for the occasion. There was also the case of the inconsistancy of drink prices depending on who was bartending. Better, honest service awaits at other downtown establishments!

It's bars located at 86th and Ditch or Greenwood that suck. The Northwest Quad will make a comeback at some point. That mahogany bar is enough reason to go "out of my way" to get a beer.

"The usual" it is called. An unbilled slice of cantalope made a cameo appearance.
