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 continue to pay homage to this extraordinary space and celebrate the magic of Tupper & Reed’s musical and artistic legacy. Each cocktail is an expression of our passion and a piece of the symphony resounding through our historic home.
We pride ourselves in the ability to offer a wide range of flavors in both cocktails and spirits. Both familiar and off the beaten path classics interspersed with modern and progressive offerings.
We’re bound only by the spirits and ingredients on the shelves and our collective imagination… and we’re pretty imaginative.
Welcome to Tupper & Reed.
Join us in something fantastic.
