What People Are Saying
from Google"Great place to stop before tailgate on football Saturdays. Service is great. Chili is even better. It’s not a football Saturday with out stopping at the Tip Top ! Great bar music to get you in the vibe to have fun all day."
"I come here maybe a couple times a week for one specific drink and each time I’m here, it’s inconsistent pricing. I normally come the same days and times. But, the drink I get from one bartender is $7 then the yesterday it was $10 and now today it’s $15. I don’t mind paying for it. But, after I was told the price if I chose not to drink it I was told I can’t come back in. So, because of the greed they will lose a loyal person and I’m okay with that. Maybe this is Gods way of pushing me away from alcohol. THANK GOD!"
