About This Pub

Ah, Tipple – what a gem of a place in Lancaster for anyone who fancies a sophisticated yet approachable evening out. From what I've gathered from folks' experiences, the cocktails really steal the show; they're hand-crafted with such care and flavour that you might just discover your new favourite drink without even trying. The staff are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and happy to share tips or even a little extra treat, which makes you feel right at home. Then there are the events – think lively bottomless brunches on Saturdays or that Monday night quiz that's become a bit of a local legend, with prizes up for grabs and a fun, inclusive vibe. It's all wrapped up in a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for groups or a casual catch-up. On the flip side, though, it's not without its little niggles; I've heard a mention or two about the toilets not being as tidy as they'd like, and if you're more of a beer enthusiast or after some solid pub food, you might find it a tad limited. Overall, it's a solid choice for cocktail lovers looking for a good time, but worth keeping in mind those preferences to ensure it's the right fit for your night.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The cocktails are simply brilliant – hand-crafted with loads of delicious flavours, making it easy to find your perfect tipple.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always going the extra mile with chatty service and even offering advice or a cheeky free sample like homemade limoncello.
  • It has a lovely atmosphere, ideal for a relaxed night out or catching up with mates, enhanced by events like Saturday bottomless brunches and Monday night quizzes.
  • Table service is a nice touch, with clever ideas like turning over a card for another round, making it feel seamless and attentive.
  • Prices are spot on for what you get, with cocktails around £7.25 that offer great value without breaking the bank.
Cons
  • On occasion, the facilities like the toilets can be a bit unkempt, which might put a slight dampener on things.
  • It's very much a cocktail-focused spot, so if you're in the mood for traditional beers or hearty pub grub, it might not quite hit the mark.

Didn't eat but a late drink with our son visiting him at university. We have visited Tipple on many occasions when in Lancaster and certainly will again. Lovely place great service and atmosphere. Slight negative the toilets were unusually unkempt on this visit.

I visited with my friends yesterday and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was lovely, and the staff were incredibly friendly, even offering advice on other places to visit afterward. They gave us a shot of their homemade limoncello, which was absolutely delicious! Thank you for being so welcoming.

Best cocktails in Lancaster and super service. Very knowledgeable lady behind the bar that put great effort into making our drinks and was chatty at the same time which was nice. It's table service. We were given a card to turn over when we wanted another drink which is a great idea and we received super quick service. I'm not keen on the high metal stools that are hard to get on if you are a shorter or 'larger' person and they make a lot of noise as they scrape on the floor or bang into the table legs. I would love to give 5 stars but sadly I've been to nicer looking places and had cheaper cocktails as good in other cities. Would be nice to see some other offers on the menu such as buy 1 get one for 1/2 price as they are very expensive when buying individually.
