Tupelo

Went there last night with two friends. It was crowded on a Saturday evening at 10 pm but really fun. Live music with singers and instrument players playing familiar Southern hits. Good place to dance and let loose. Large bar area. I recommend this place as a stop late in the night. Easy to meet new people. Would have to check back how it is earlier in the day.

This is not a place I would ever go to again or recommend anyone visiting. As soon as we get in, the whole bar is completely full, hot, and catered to a certain demographic. (If you're poc you will stand out)After reading several reviews to validate myown experience and to talk myself out of thinking I wasn't being dramatic, I noticed similar experiences. I noticed a man and a woman walking up to a group of friends. The woman groped my friend and the man continued speaking and pushing his way to whoever he was acquainted with. He spit on me when I asked him to be polite about where he was trying to go. He still tried to continue to push his way to the front right in front of the eyes of the bartender. I understand other people's behavior are not in the full control of workers, but I had to take this situation on by myself and by the help of my friends who were also being targeted by these two specific people.By the looks of other reviews, this is something that continuously occurs but also ignored by workers and management. The harassment and theft that occurs here seems to not be dealt with which is extremely disappointing. PS: Drinks weren't great, expensive, and music was not it. Would not recommend for women or specifically, woc.

This spot has live bands that play all genres of music by one band and I can appreciate that. Vibes are like a standing room concert during college days with no frills drinks and hh specials to boot.A good spot for a chill night and good music.

Fun live music vibe! Drinks were pretty small but not too expensive. I will say the crowd was a bit rowdy with 2 people getting kicked out, but overall it was fun and I'd go back!

Upon arriving at the bar with the intention of joining a gathering with my coworkers, I was denied entry by your security individual despite presenting my valid CA mobile driver's license (mDL) as proof of identification. Despite being of legal drinking age, I was informed by the security personnel that entry was denied due to the lack of a physical ID, citing a supposed legal requirement. As a resident of California, I am aware that mobile driver's licenses are legally recognized forms of identification in our state, and there is no requirement for a physical ID to enter a licensed establishment. This misinformation resulted in not only a disappointing experience for me but also caused me to miss out on a valuable opportunity to socialize and connect with my coworkers. Avoid!

Simple bar with great vibes - it's nothing fancy but it's dependable for a solid, fun time! The live music is always great and it's a fun place to spend your evening!

I had a lot of fun stopping by Tupelo on a Thursday night. It was pretty lively and they were playing live music. The food was classic bar food- I've definitely had better bar food but it was still nice that they were serving food. I recommend the tater tots, I couldn't stop munching on them. The Mac and cheese was decent too. Would love to come back here to spend a night!

Not the sf vibe....so sad to give a bad review when we want to support local businesses at these hard times. Don't step foot into this place that treat customers horribly, so sad. There are plenty of friendly sf vibe bars. Don't go here and ruin your evening....so sad.

Fun place to come with your friends to watch live bands and have a drink. They are limited on cocktails so a mojito isn't an option (or at least when I went). I ordered a vodka cranberry and that was available. They have a few beers on tap. This place can get very crowded on the weekends. It was chill on the weekdays. You can hang at the outside patio when you need fresh air.

This place is a glaring red flag. STAY AWAY.This bar, and especially the owner, has a neighborhood-wide reputation for being the scummiest and most blame-displacing place for blocks around. There are rings of thieves who operate there like they're paid employees, the bouncer is indiscriminately discriminate whenever he feels like it, and the owner is disingenuous when he says he will let people watch surveillance tapes to find their assaulters and pocket theives. He will tell you in public that he will you let watch the tapes, and then never get back to you or will tell you that "it's impossible to see anything" when you ask to see them. He says he has regular meetings with other bars about the assaults and theiving issues, yet this has been going on for years now with absolutely zero changes and no other bar on the strip has the level of problems his place has.My own experience - I went there with my friend. She got groped twice in the floor - while I was dancing with her. She realized her wallet was stolen while she tried to report it and point out the men to the bartender. The bartender could not have cared less, and the bouncer victim blamed her for not being more careful.Then they added a 20% gratiuty charge to a 2-person bill for already overpriced and mediocre cocktails. We filed a few separate police reports for the assault and the theft at central station a few blocks away and they told us that this happens a lot at Tupelo's, especially for the past few years. It sounds like they are looking for a smoking gun to go after the owner for, since as soon as they heard the name Tupelo's the officers seemed exasperated and told us that they get a lot of reports about this place and that they have been looking into it for a while. I won't go into details but they are watching this place.Avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid, avoid.
