The 'tips' are steak, lamb, turkey, chicken or swordfish. The 'taps' are nearly 40 kinds of beer, ranging from local craft brews to international ales of some renown. The food is good (including a daily 'game special' such as braised antelope ribs), and the beer is even better. There's no other place on Beacon Hill with this trendy but friendly vibe.
