I like dive bars. I like dive bars that are dark. I like dive bars with bad pool players because they make for a very entertaining show. And most of all, I like dive bars where the older white bartender belts the lyrics to Jay Z's "99 Problems" and the homeless guy checks for IDs. Yes, that pretty much sums up my first visit to Tiburon on a rainy Saturday night. I will be back for drunken karaoke next time!
Review Source:Okay, this isn't a bad place. If I was in my 40s-60s and a local I'd totally be down with Tiburon. But if you are young don't expect to get the crowd going with your rendition of Coolio's Gansta's Paradise- this place will not be having it. The people here are nice and probably come here every single weekend. It seems like they practice singing show tunes and country songs in their showers to prepare for their performances. One lady who appeared to be in her 60s was a little drunk and talked about "Golden Tonsils", which became our nickname for her that night. Old Goldentonsils loved singing show tunes in a sorta sexual manner. It was kind of fun to watch, but may lead to nightmares.
The drinks are reasonably priced and some people sang cool stuff like Johnny Cash, but honestly it was mostly current country stuff I can't stand. And the one guy who sung a Sum 41 song, well, he didn't quite fit in either. HAH.
Oh yeah, we met the "extremely elderly tommy bahama-wearing sugar daddy" mentioned in a review below. He tried to pick up my mother and little sister.. he offered to smoke pot with them in the parking lot. I'm not quite sure what he was hoping would happen but he got turned down pretty hardcore by my mom, even though he offered to "change her life." Did he expect some sort of mother/daughter thing? Maybe. GROSS.
My honey and I were in town for a wedding. Â I wanted to find a cool spot to hang out the first night that we were there. Â I texted two friends and asked them if they knew anywhere that had Friday night karaoke. Â They both responded suggesting this place. Â I then invited them to join us there. Â
Tiboron is in a nice spot away from the lower State Street bar extravaganza craziness. There was a diverse, friendly crowd and the environment was chill. This was a great spot for meeting up with some old friends and singing a few tunes.
I don't like internet jukeboxes, never have, never will. The wide selection is dangerous in the hands of people with dollar bills and bad music taste. This night at Tiburon only proved my feelings. A couple drunk guys come in and proceed to play Achy Breaky Heart, Pearl Jam and Primus and the worst part was we just got there. Bad taste combined with drinks is a scary thing. This is one instance where variety is bad.
My boyfriend got farted on by a drunk college girl but was also complimented on his youthful appearance by the bartender. Â
Despite the anecdotal this place seems like a bar we'd go to for people watching and laughs.
