About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Good for groups
  • Great for happy hour
We invite you to Dr. Funk where you, too, can escape.

Dr. Funk's offers a relaxed vibe that transports you into a 19th Samoa tiki venue with signature cocktails that include our Mai Tai and the Dr. Funk. Our Signature dishes include our Dr. Funk Burger and Hawaiian Ribs.

We are located near O'Flaherty's Irish Pub and the Old Spaghetti Factory in the heart of downtown San Jose.

Trader Vic and Donn Beach invented the tiki motif at their California restaurants of the 1930s that would entice generations for nearly a century. Our eclectic décor, too, draws influence from both Trader Vic and Donn Beach.

Both Trader Vic and Donn Beach sought not to create a fantasy world that was hinged on any single location; but rather one that encompassed the concept of escapism by incorporating and embracing elements from the Caribbean, to the South Pacific, China, Singapore and beyond!

In doing so, they created a backdrop that was thrilling, fascinating and alluring—one we wish to pay homage to.

    I like this place. Drinks are good and the decor is awesome. Service tends to be slow and bad unless you get lucky with your server or sit at the bar.

    Visited this awesome tiki bar with a small group and we got to sit in one of the tiki huts and it was awesome. They also were hosting a trivia night and it was awesome!

    Abby was great! She took care of our large party and multiple transactions great! The food was good and the drinks were fine. I am more of a tequila drinker and there weren’t many options but everyone else enjoyed the rum drinks.
