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.

This is the second time we have visited Dr. Funk. We love the tiki vibe and decorations. The food is good, but mostly "bar food." The tiki drinks are fabulous! But be sure to have a designated driver as we did as they are stronger than you think. It's a great place to go for a special event as it was our anniversary. Since it was also Easter Sunday, it was very quiet today (which was not the case last time we went!). Recommend for anyone who wants a fun and festive night out in San Jose.

Five stars might seem high but I can’t think of anything which would necessitate a lower rating. In a world of modern concept restaurants, this is OG. There is a bar area, two dining rooms and a beer garden, each with their own ambience. There is a good selection of German beers and menu items. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. The service was everything I expect. This is place to go if you are looking for something a little different.
