Tupper & Reed

In 1925, architect William Yelland designed the Tupper & Reed building for the music store of John C. Tupper and Lawrence Reed. For the next 80 years, Tupper & Reed operated their store - which at times served as a restaurant, concert venue, and artistic community space - in the unique, gothic, storybook setting of their urban cathedral. Almost a century after its construction, we look to pay homage to this extraordinary space and recapture the magic of Tupper & Reed’s musical and artistic legacy. With every drink we cut or carve or chisel or guild, we look to express our passion for cocktails into a symphony befitting our historic home.

"Sure they've got all kinds of custom drinks. Sure they can make you the classics. And yes, they have a very impressive selection of spirits, both commercial and not-so-well known. And sure, the bartenders are your run o' the mill bartenders. But one of the things I really like about this place is how spacious it is. Bars like these tend to be on the cramped side. Often times, you've really got wait if you want a drink. Not so here. Plenty of room and drinks seem to go out as quickly as they're ordered. Chalk it up to the skilled bartenders here. I also love that they've got a pool table. Perfect for dates or meeting up with friends over a game of 8-ball." - Eric A.
