Amazing drinks and superb service. Well priced venue with a good feel. Very accomodating staff.
Not an accessible venue.
I will definitely be back for more drinks and dog watching!

Quaint little tapas bar in the heart of port Melbourne, food was delicious, staff were friendly and provided good service and the drinks were tasty too, definitely an easy recommend

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. The food was delicious and the staff knowledgeable and entertaining. The vibe was fun and entertaining and I would definitely recommend a visit.

I used to love the Tipsy Cow and would go there often. It is a great venue, with tasty food and cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere.

Unfortunately the last few times I've been the service has been terrible. Last time it took 15 mins to take our order, then 15 mins to make two cocktails. Fair enough if it was busy but it wasn't at all. When we wanted a second drink we had to go up and ask because we got sick of waiting and the employee was just facebooking We only stayed for two drinks and I dont think I'll go back which is a shame because it used to be fab.

Love the food and cocktails, the lounge is also really nice, the chairs/couches are super comfortable. Great for relaxing, having a nice chat.

Fantastic cocktails, great selection of whiskey, awesome food and great place for dog owners who don't want to leave their furry friends at home.

If we could give more stars we most definitely would!
From the moment of booking, then follow up reminders, to a "very dog friendly" greeting upon arrival, followed by great/friendly service & THE BEST cocktails and devine tapas menu food EVER - you can't fault this place
Decor is just the icing on the cake for our new favourite haunt.
Take a bow tipsy cow.

For my birthday I got two free cocktails from this great place so, I planned a first date over there. We ended up eating some calamari and tacos which it was very delicious. Cocktails were fantastic (not because they were free) and the staff was very kind and helpful. The backyard was the spot I picked for the night. It is important to have both exits within arm’s reach.

Great dog friendly bar, decent cocktail offering, food was a bit slow but they had a function upstairs so at least they were upfront about the delay. Fun night out

Phenomenal service and completely true to what they set out to be, a chilled out, dog friendly, cocktail oriented local hang.

BEST BAR EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD! Holy cow ;) where do i even start? !
We were able to bring our beautiful dog bubbles, and she had such an amazing time! She was able to meet lots of people, get lots of pats, and she was so comfortable that she fell asleep on the couch for most of the night!
The staff were talented, warm, friendly, kind, professional, hard-working and passionate! I cannot sing their praises enough. Amber was our server, she went above and beyond to make our night special! She was so accommodating, positive and we had some great conversations! She did her job perfectly with a smile, and really made an effort to accommodate my intolerance to dairy. Amazing job Amber!
Outstanding drinks, i had the softails "mule-less" and a virgin mojito. They were perfectly made, in big glasses, both presented so beautifully, and they tasted divine! The flavours were delicious, and the drinks themselves were clearly made with love!
The food! Oh my gosh, the food was EXPLOSIVELY DELICIOUS! Wow, it is rare to have perfectly sized portions, impressively presented in beautiful plating, taste so incredibly divine! The food smelt incredible, and the texture of the calamari was soft and fresh. We could also see from the extra breading in the bowl that the food was made in small batches, which is always a marker of a fantastic kitchen! The grazing board was so so yummy, i was snacking all night on the fresh ingredients and yummy bread! The chef changed the turkish garlic bread into a dairy-free substitute at my request, and he absolutely nailed it! Even without butter, the garlic bread was so delicious. He put the exact right amount of oil on to give it flavour, without drowning the bread. Very impressive!
Also: the mango salad is a must-try! The blend of the sweet with the fresh crispy lettuce, thinly sliced chorizo, and succulent chicken? ! I felt like the chef understood food, flavour and freshness. Incredible!
The Bar is immaculately clean, without ever feeling sterile or cold. The temperature was perfect, lighting was perfect, music was jazzy and relaxing. The decor is charming, fun and comfortable! The couches are beautiful, and there are ample cushions for really kicking back. The people were all so friendly and kind, and even all of the customers were so happy to be there! This place has the BEST atmosphere i have EVER experienced. I found myself at times so relaxed that i had forgotten where i was, and was lost in the moment!
My girlfriend Lily and i came here to celebrate our first year as a couple, and we exchanged some promise rings as a sentimental milestone. The staff gave us enough time to relax and do our thing, without us ever feeling like we needed to find them and ask for something. They checked on us at such a perfect pace. I will never forget this night, i will remember it so fondly. We walked the 4km home to our apartment in the warm night air laughing and smiling about how amazing we felt. Bubbles had an incredible time, and we will be returning as regulars.
Fair warning: the stairs to the upstairs level are very steep, but they have sturdy railing and it is difficult to fall with sturdy walls on either side. Take your time, people will be patient with you!
The bathrooms were immaculate, very clean, with all the amenities one could ever need! I even spent some time enjoying the dyson airblade hand-dryer which dried and warmed my hands perfectly. Menus: beautiful, simple, clean, perfect!
Branding and signage: extremely pleasting to the eye and very well designed.
We are not in a great financial situation, so we were only able to tip $10 but if we could, we would have tipped $50. Please read this review to your staff, and say thankyou to them for such an incredible night. You all deserve raises, and i will be raving to all my friends! New favourite bar: The tipsy cow.

I went here first time with my friends on the new year eve and also for my birthday. Everything is perfect. Food was so good, the cocktails were unbelievable. Plus the staff and customer service is amazing. They are so friendly and look after us very very well. This is my favorite cocktail bar ever. Definitely come back and highly recommended. Thank you for making our new year and my birthday is so special and can't forget.

This is the most dog friendly bar /place we’ve been too - very welcoming and relaxing environment to take dogs and very friendly staff. Hamish and Imelda Jane loved it!

Spectacular cocktails, puppy friendly place in luxurious furnishings. Don't be thrown by the small front room, there's plenty going on out back and upstairs.

Good environment, good drinks, good food, and dogs are allowed. What more could you want? Thank you Amber for your help in organising an event here!

What an excellent bar with excellent cocktails. We have been here on many occasions to dine in or takeaway and both have been excellent. The addition of food was a great idea and they are super dog friendly!
