Tipsy Cow

I came here for a company happy hour and had a great time! The drinks are very good. I had the Tipsy Mule, which is their version of a Moscow Mule. Light and refreshing. I also had an Aperol Spritz, which I also enjoyed. We sampled the chicken wings and cauliflower as well, which were nice accompaniments to our beverages. The staff were on top of everything and very nice. The vibe is casual. A small thought - not even a critique - I heard that this place made really good milkshakes. I would’ve thought that they’d have some boozy milkshakes. I mean… “Tipsy Cow?” Kinda seems like a missed opportunity. Oh well. I still had a great time.

So I was blown away by how good the actual food and kitchen operated. Like WAY better than your normal bar food, I had the Big Texan and it was really delicious. Thick cut pieces of bacon and pork belly on an already substantial burger with fried onions, it really was a delightful burger. Service is pretty bad here…my only gripe is that coming there just for the food is not streamlined very well. You go up to the bar to order, which is fine, but the place is not set up very well for people dining it. I would have to wait in line to get someones attention for a small box or to get a refill on a soda, not very user friendly. Also the lady working the register was kind of snarky, I ordered an old fashion and she was like “go wait over there until its done” and pointed at this awkward spot in between peoples tables because the bar was filled up. Also dirty tables that are left like that for hours and generally just a dinky bar vibe, which is fine for what you’re getting into to. But if im spending $60 for burgers, I’d rather it be a cleaner place where the servers arent jerks.

We came here with a group of 6 for some drinks and bites. We had called in the day before to make reservations, however it was pretty wide open when we arrived at 5pm on a Saturday. LOCATION: Located on Ventura, right at the corner of Lemona. There is neighborhood and street parking nearby, and a lot in the back with specifically designated spots. Make sure to read the signs—some spots reserved for other businesses. There are entrances both in front and in the back. INSIDE: The inside is relatively small, with a bar area and maybe a dozen or so tables. There are TVs behind the bar and all around the room showing (mostly) sports. The vibe definitely felt like that of a nicer sports bar given that the sound of the game seemed to exceed that of a standard restaurant showing sports. It’s also dog friendly! We saw several super cute dogs, and it was apparent that there are some locals who come in and know the staff, and the staff know the dogs. ORDERING: They do not offer table service, this is an order-at-the-counter type of place. After placing your order, they give you a number and bring your items out when they're ready. We came with a group, so this actually worked out well. Everyone was able to order and pay on their own without having to deal with splitting checks. You can leave a tab open if you plan to order in waves or have more than one drink. DRINKS: This place has all the options you'd expect to find at a bar, including beer (draft, bottle, cans), wine, and cocktails. There are 13 different cocktail options on the menu that are reasonably priced ($14). They have around 16 beers listed on draft, and 10+ cans / bottles, and even a couple NA options. For wine, they have a couple whites, a rose, prosecco, and 4 reds. We ordered mostly cocktails, including the Basil & Bubbles, Angry Ginger, Cucumber Gin Spritz, and a margarita. We really enjoyed all the drinks, and the Basil & Bubbles was definitely a favorite… so much so that I got a second. There are different size options for both the wine and the draft beers. FOOD: The menu is pretty solid for such a small spot. They have around a dozen-and-a-half options in their “Nibbles” section, which are essentially appetizers. There are 5 salad options, 7 burgers, and even a few choices for sliders. They have a “Moo-Less” section with a turkey burger, fish & chips, ahi banh mi, and a couple chicken sandwiches. This place is kid-friendly, as they even have a dedicated kid’s menu with standard options such as chicken fingers, mac & cheese, and sliders. Don't forget about dessert! They have beignets and a soft baked cookie, as well as a whole dedicated shake menu with some next level sounding shakes. We ordered a few things amongst the group, including the short rib poutine, cheeseburger sliders, buffalo cauliflower, tacos, and ahi poke boats. We all enjoyed our food, and there were definitely some additional items we had our eyes on. HAPPY HOUR: They actually have a really good HH here. It’s from 2p-6p, and 9p til close, every day… plus all day on Wednesdays! Select cocktails are $12 (-$2), all wine & frose is $12, well drinks are $8, and select beers are $6. There’s also a list of 11 different options of food items you can get for $12, which includes a lot of bangers! OVERALL: This is definitely a cool spot. Fun place for a date night, to meet up with friends for a drink, watch a game, and grab some tasty grub. The HH is almost worth the trip, with some good deals and great options. It’s also kid and pet friendly! I will say the one negative thing was that when I had got up to grab another drink, somebody had taken my plate away, which had the last couple bites of my short rib poutine that I was strategically saving for the end and very much looking forward to finishing… heartbreaking. The staff was friendly and the vibes were fun. It filled up quite a bit by the time we left around 8:30pm. I’d definitely come back to try some more of the food items, and get anothe

Such a great stop right off the interstate. Jade and Jose were super nice. We have an 8 month old with us and she enjoyed some carrots, celery and a banana. We had the wings, traditional buffalo and buffalo garlic which were both good. We also enjoyed and highly recommend the poke boats, comparabel to yard house poke nachos. We didnt have a high chair which was fine, and there wasnt a changing table so if you have an infant plan on changing them else where. There is always opportunity, but there was no expectation as this is a gastro pub. 5 stars acrosd the board.

After a crazy day on set, wanted to link up with my sister and just have some comfort food, and was pleasantly surprised. The drink menu had some next level cocktails (try the Basil and Bubbles or a Frose) so we got creative; yes we created a Frose 2.0 (video included :-). Had some Basil Hummus, Salmon Tacos, Fish Tacos, and some more Basil Hummus (Whomever made that is a genius, it's amazing). Happy Hour is all day on Wednesday so we will definitely be back.

Jade and Joseph are so well. This gastropub has a great happy hour and after not coming to this bar for two years the staff still remembered my dogs name . I have come here on and off for over three years, even after moving further away from the bar. I really do love the drinks and joseph and jade are great at running this establishment. The food is 9/10, and often have outdoor seating as well.

Tipsy Cow - Use to love this place a few years ago when I came. FREE parking located on the side streets or metered parking on Ventura blvd. Food selections tried this visit via HAPPY HOUR - Smash burger (it was good, rating average) - Basil hummus (okay) - Buffalo cauliflower (too much batter on it) - Salmon tacos (not bad wish their was more fish inside) Service: Server till not come to you when you sit at the table you need to order at the bar and they'll bring it to you. DISAPPOINTED in the service from staff members. Actually felt scared to ask them for help or any questions. Friendly = Nope | Busy = Restaurant wasn't that pack | Major turnoff Note: 3% service charge is added on all tabs

This place is the real deal. From the moment you walk in, the staff is so welcoming and friendly, you'll feel like you're hanging out with your best buds. And let's talk about the food, because that's what really matters, right? We started off with the Buffalo Cauliflower and Buffalo Tots and holy cow, they were amazing! The perfect combination of crispy and spicy, I could have eaten those all day. And then came the main event, the Big Texan burger. Let me just say, if you're a meat lover, you need this burger in your life. With cheddar cheese, bbq sauce, bacon, pork belly, onion straws, and a sunny-side-up egg, it's a flavor explosion in your mouth. But wait, there's more! We also tried the Smash burger, which was equally delicious. Double beef patty, American cheese, spicy 1000 dressing, dill pickles, and grilled onions, all on a perfectly toasted bun. And don't even get me started on the fries - crispy, salty, and just the right amount of greasy. Overall, I can't recommend Tipsy Cow enough. The staff is fantastic, the atmosphere is lively and fun, and the food is out of this world. If you're in Sherman Oaks, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't regret it!
