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.

We absolutely love Dr. Funk. The drinks are so good and the vibes are so fun. However, our last several visits we have found the service to be painfully slow. We were seated for about 20 minutes before anyone came to our table. And then it was about 30 minutes between each table visit. This has been the regular pattern regardless of the crowds or if there is an event. They need to figure out the pacing of their service because it is starting to minimize the frequency of our visits and the amount we could be spending while we are there.
