Emeryville After Hours

The Experience, Emeryville: Tipsy Putt Fundraiser

The Experience:

Get your putters ready & take a swing at hunger!

Sip, putt, enjoy a taco and help fight hunger. Tipsy Putt, Emeryville’s popular mini golf bar & restaurant, has partnered with Move for Hunger and AVE to host a golf tournament for a good cause.

The tournament, with various levels of competition, begins at 2pm on Thursday, August 17, at Tipsy Putt at Bay St to benefit Move for Hunger, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing food waste and providing meals for those in need in our community.

 Tipsy Putt will also conduct a food drive throughout the month of August, naming Move for Hunger as its Sunday FundDay recipient. For every beer and game of golf, Tipsy Putt will donate $1 to Move for Hunger during August. Sponsors are still needed for this Par-tee with a purpose fundraiser.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5.  You’ll find Tipsy Putt at the north end of Bay St  across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.

Move for Hunger is a nonprofit that mobilizes delivery of  ‘rescued’ food to food banks and pantries. Their network of socially-responsible relocation companies provides their customers, clients, and residents with the opportunity to donate their food when they move.

The Experience, Emeryville: Bay St Openings

The Experience:

The Trophy Club @ Tipsy Putt!

It feels like a retro style bar that hints at the historical Speakeasy era, reminiscent of the old Townhouse in the days of old in Emeryville. Owners Brandon and Jennifer Robinson have created an adult ‘drinkertaiment’ concept with three brands – Tipsy Putt taproom, Mini-golf and the Trophy Club lounge hidden inside Tipsy Putt.

The Tipsy Putt bar serves up 40 taps of local craft beer including Emeryville’s own Wondrous Brewing beer, as well as tasty bites – tacos, nachos and more. Their mini golf course is challenging and great fun for groups, young ones until 5pm and 21+ after 5. Mayor John Bauters and vice mayor Courtney Welch celebrated their Grand Opening on Jan 31.

Fans gathered yesterday, February 8, for the opening of the Trophy Club, your new go-to place for cocktails.

“The beauty of the Trophy Club,” explained member and fan of the Sacramento Tipsy Putt’s Trophy Lounge, Shane Bharat, “is that it’s low key and chill. You have a purpose when you are here. At the very beginning of the Sacramento Trophy Club, I literally came for a Coca Cola that they made from scratch.  I have always felt very welcome and love what they do for members. Love their events.”

Memberships and events are now available in Emeryville! Visit soon, take a tour and learn about the benefits.

Valentine’s @ the Trophy Club means Chocolate Grenache on fresh long stemmed strawberries. Plus more delectable bites and drinks. Current Bites offered include Charcuterie Board, Cheese Board, Chef’s Board – both meat and cheese – and Baguette & Marinated Olives with House-Made Giardirniera. This menu will evolve!

What they’re serving is unique with house-made syrups (banana & simple syrups), house-dehydrated fruit garnishes, fresh juices, fresh herb infusions (rosemary infusion) and more. They even make their own grenadine in house. And Valentine drinks are on the bar menu until the end of the month!

Bitter Taste of Love – Gin, Campari, crème de mure and orange bitters. Strong, bitter, semi-fruity.

Love Me Tender – Ramazzotti Aperitivo, vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup (house-made) egg white and angostura bitters. Refreshing, floral, silky.

White Wedding – Blanco tequila, fresh squeezed lime juice,m kumquat liqueur, Licor 43, ginger beer and cream. Fruity, creamy, effervescent.

All cocktails are curated by their mixologists, Josh & Marqui. Get down there and meet them at the Trophy Club! And then try your hand at mini golf and check out their 40 beers on tap. You’ll find Tipsy Putt & Trophy Club at the north end of Bay St (5690) across from Hyatt Place. (510) 356-8222.
