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.

    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.

    Fun ambiance, good drinks, decent snacks. But the service could absolutely be better, at least at the tables. Might be different at the bar.

    The drinks we ordered for the beetle juice special weren’t good and the presentation wasn’t appetizing unfortunately

    Dr Funks always have great drinks, nice outdoor table seating for events or a bit extra privacy, good food, and excellent service. A+ once again to the staff—thanks!

    Dr Funk is our favorite Bay Area tiki experience. The servers, bartenders, and staff are so friendly. The food is simple but great. And the happy hour value is outstanding
