Dr. Funk

Dr. Funk is a tiki bar like no other, nestled in the heart of downtown San Jose. Inspired by the legendary pioneers of tiki culture, Trader Vic and Donn Beach, Dr. Funk blends the escapist spirit of the Caribbean, South Pacific, and beyond into a vibrant destination. Paying homage to its namesake, Dr. Bernhard Funk—a 19th-century German-born physician and mixologist practicing in Samoa—the bar embraces the rich history of tiki cocktails, including its signature drink, the Dr. Funk, alongside an inventive menu of tropical classics and original creations.

Dr. Funk keeps the fun alive throughout the week with Trivia Mondays featuring $8 Mai Tais and Traditional Tiki Tuesdays with all-vinyl DJs spinning classic tracks. Step through its porthole double doors, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a whimsical world of island-inspired adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned tiki aficionado or a first-time explorer, Dr. Funk offers an unforgettable escape with every visit. Sit back, sip a cocktail, and let the stories of tiki’s rich history unfold around you.
