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.

    Service was absolutely horrible. Waited over 20 minutes to place a drink order, waiter stated just FYI she was working inside, outside and side area so it was going to be a while. We never seen her again, food and drinks arrived an hour later, drink were filled with all ice. We had to ask twice to close us out. Never had a chance to order more drinks, since our waiter never came back.

    It was a pretty good experience. Lots of grinch decorations and tons of Christmas lights. They were very busy so our waitress was not seen much. Drinks were kind of expensive considering they were 75% crushed ice.

    Stopped by this bar while I was in San Jose, and they had a fun Grinch-themed holiday vibe going on. I tried three drinks, all of which were delicious! The ambiance was lively with a great crowd, good music, and a buzzing, social atmosphere. It’s definitely on the louder side, perfect for those looking to have a friends night out or just to go and be social. I didn’t get a chance to try the food, but the menu offered a nice variety. Service was solid, making for an overall enjoyable experience.

    When I say the food was outstanding, I mean the cocktails, as we didn't nosh. I've eaten here before, though, and the food, while not outstanding, compliments the drinks. Nice tiki vibe for a Friendsgiving gathering.

    Had a great time at Dr. Funk's. Food, service, and drinks really good. Rated a 4 instead of 5 due to not being told the Monday we were there was not happy hour due to a sharks game later that night.

    Had a passive aggressive experience with one of the hostess. The one that sat us, she refused to give us a booth. Then I found online they have a reservation available in 10 mins for a booth so I booked it and showed it to the waitress and she moved us. Then the hostess comes back asking us why we here and who moved us. And wanted to see the reservation herself. “Reallllyy” how’d you guys sit here? That’s crazy” ew, go somewhere else with that attitude

    Went to Dr Funk's first tiki market and finally MUG RELEASE. Great time, fun time, fantastic service and best exotic drinks. Shout out to Justin, Maddie, RJ, Juan, and Ming for making it another fun visit.

    Nice decor, slow service, good drinks but plastic cups are cheap for expensive tiki drinks and experience (needs improvement) $19 drink in a cheap plastic disposal cup - thats a miss.
