Functions people still talk about

  • We hosted various Conference dinners at Tippler & Co. last week, and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The food was fantastic, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. Everything ran so smoothly, which made such a difference during a very busy week of events. The team were friendly, professional and incredibly accommodating throughout. We had lots of positive feedback from our guests, and we really appreciated how well looked after everyone was. A huge thank you to Gus and the whole Tippler & Co. team — we will definitely be back!

    Conference Dinner
  • Last Saturday we enjoyed a wonderful night with friends at The Tippler for a private function.
    They really go out of their way to accommodate their guests and special requests, making the whole experience feel effortless.
    The upstairs room has such a great vibe, with a gorgeous big window overlooking the street, completely covered in vines — just like Madeline’s house in Paris!
    Highly recommend The Tippler as a venue for birthdays, reunions and other special occasions.

    Private Function
  • Gus and the team at the Tippler were wonderful for hosting my 21st Birthday! We had around 75 people, and it fit the space perfectly. The team were so diligent and took care of everything in the lead up to and throughout the night. The Mural Room is absolutely beautiful, and all of my guests commented on how warm the space is. We had arancini, fries, beef sliders and sausage rolls, and everything was delicious. Thanks again to the team for a beautiful night.

    Birthday
  • If you are looking to host a party with canapes, Tippler & Co should most definitely be on your shortlist of venues! I booked Tippler & Co to host an engagement party and it was smooth from start to finish. It was extremely easy to work with Gus and Natasha to book the venue, work out food options, and order decorations for delivery there. I booked the mural room and it was very spacious for our crowd of 30-40 – it can definitely accommodate over double our size. The food was mostly a hit and the service from our bartender was incredible. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t change a thing about the party and would most definitely book Tippler & Co again.

    Engagement Party
  • What a gem of a venue! We held a corporate event that used the whole venue at Tippler & Co and it was a huge success. From planning and communication with Gus to the actual event I cannot fault a thing. Food and drinks were amazing and all the guests raved about the function. Highly recommend.
