I have been here several times for drinks and this is the first time I try the food. I ordered the sliders with fries and it was delicious. I can't wait to come by and order wings. The service was fast for both food and drinks. Everyone was super attentive and paid attention to our drinks. read more

Came here this past Saturday night to celebrate my birthday, and it was really fun. The vibe was incredible. The DJ kept the energy up all night, playing an awesome mix of 80s freestyle and a little bit of rock en español. He even gave me a birthday shoutout, which made the night extra special! The food was also really good. If you come here, you definitely need to order the jalapeño poppers, they were delicious. Great music, good food, and a perfect place to celebrate. I will definitely be back! read more

Found this place through TikTok Instagram feeds, looked exciting so wanted to check this place out on a Sunday. This place opened up precisely at 4pm. Had a good vibe to it, you can see a painting of Prince and Selena which was pretty cool. We seated ourselves for a party of 2. There was an NFL game that starts at 5:15pm between the Niners and Bears. In the mean time, we ordered through the happy hour menu. Ordered Carne Asada Nachos, beer and cocktails. Received our drinks first, all tasted fresh. Received our Nachos which was exceptionally delicious. One of the best I had tasted This place turns into a dance floor after 8pmsh. Pretty cool place, they played 80s and 90s hip hop and freestyle music! It was a good vibe and feel. The restaurant is clean and their rules for entry is firm. No gang bang attire or thughish attitude. I find this very important to have a good time. Great place to chill and vibe. This is a Latin type of party vibe that brings you back to the 80s and 90s. Big Kudos to Samantha for taking care of us. We pointed out an issue of pricing for a bloody mary drink. It stated $12 but got charged for $13.50. She corrected our bill. We were good to go! I recommend this location. There are similar bars like this in Lakewood, fullerton, Costa Mesa, etc.. this is probably the best place to have that Latin Environment with beautiful people. The city of Whittier! read more

The ambiance was nice and the music is great. This place is 80s-90s vibes and I like it. The only thing is I had a lil event there, the staff unfortunately were taking tables from my area while we were still sitting there. It was kind of rude and unprofessional. It was a bit embarrassed for me as well because I invited my friends here. The staff is a little bit unfriendly especially the manager read more

First time but not the last, was looking for a place to se the Mexico World Cup game live...was at another restaurant but the ambiance at Flashbackz was so much better if not the best in uptown Whittier. I was by myself but felt welcomed!!!! Thank you!!! Music, raffles and a free shot after the game .. read more

Stopped in early evening for a drink. First the security patted my hubby down which was crazy being that it was only 5 pm which says a lot, I didn't see him pat anyone else out that came in after us.. And he had to check my purse. That's a definite no return for me. This is my first time here so it makes me wonder what kind of establishment this is. Ambience is a mix of everything a bunch of single girls waiting to get picked up lol a few couples having a meal.. great 80s music playing. Our server Sam was great, she honestly was a highlight of this visit! The anything for Selena drink my daughter ordered was a little too sweet. read more

George is the owner & manager!? He's the "owner" when clapping back on a review, but states he's also the manager on-site!? Why play games? All while he watches security cameras, talks to staff/bartenders, checks in with waiters & security, final food & drink quality control, and reads reviews to call you a liar for any negative feedback. Kinda suspicious. Maybe people are right and maybe you're stretched too thin!? Get some help brother. At least hire someone who will unstack your patio furniture, not an inviting look when passing by. Patrons aren't hurting your business, you are! read more

this place is great amazing atmosphere amazing owners the people that come here are great the food is amazing the drinks are so creative and good, the only issue that i would say is there waitresses and waiters and bartenders they are not very friendly the waitresses and waiter fight over tables and then never check on them and the bartenders are so unfriendly they don't have barstool because they told me they don't like to talk to customers if they would get a more mature staff this place would be amazing and do very well read more

Came here for my cousins bday party. No food was ordered just drinks and. Great time with the music. Came on a Sat night... dj played a mixture of everything.

The music here was honestly great they played a lot of oldies (old funk, rock, spanish rock etc.. , which we really enjoyed and it set a fun vibe for the night. That was definitely the highlight. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. They made us open several tabs (as we were at the same table for a couple hrs) just to push separate tips on each tab. It felt really unnecessary and honestly kind of scammy. There was no clear reason for it when we would ask, and it left a bad impression. It's a shame because we came for a good time and loved the music, but the way they handled the billing made us not want to come back. read more

Where do I begin... they consolidate Top Shelf Vodka ... with cheap vodka and you can taste the difference. The manager AKA The owners son ...GEO... literally told me " you shouldn't have return the drink till I saw the video and now you have to pay for it ."! Wtf - CROOKS . Come next door to TURNBULLS TAVERN - Bad ass Mixologist Our waitress was a sweetheart - Blonde lady. She's needs to leave that place and go elsewhere! To George's comment : I promote good businesses that have integrity and can stand behind what they serve. Immature and defensive comments about being drunk and free drinks is the typical clap back of a business who has no moral ethics and got called out. The food was mediocre, hence why we barely touched it. When liquor is stale and or it's been mixed with other low grade liquor it's noticeable. We called it out respectfully in person Just because the grey goose bottle was present in the video doesn't mean it's 100% Grey Goose, I've seen the tricks of the trade. We are new to this area and not locals. We came to your establishment to celebrate a birthday. Despite negative comments we had heard about this place, we still decided to come out and experience it for ourselves. We came, we saw and never again. We liked the music and expected it to be a great night. All the best to you and I wish you well in your business. Work on your liquor integrity and customer service attitude. read more

Well, sometimes it's good to try again. This place has a great happy hour, 6-8 Thursday -Sunday. I'm attaching pics for all to see. There are great drink and food prices with food that's actually good. At 7:55 on a Friday this place is just getting started. Seating can be difficult later so keep that in mind. Mariah provided us with good and friendly service. There's plenty of room for dancing and socializing in a welcoming atmosphere. See you there...And then I spent more time and heard the amazing DJ...OMG, 5 STARS !!!! read more

See all

If I could leave zero stars I would. Save your money and do not come to this place. The only good thing here was the music. This place will over charge you for drinks and won't give you any alcohol in your alcoholic drink. They will charge you three dollars for water after 1030pm. When prior to that it's free. Based on my knowledge every place restaurant/establishment that sells drinks and or food they have to provide water for free. I will look into this more a call a professional on this business. All the bartenders suck. They wait for you to have a drink or two more in you and charge you for drinks you didn't buy. DON'T COME HERE. read more

Music was great , the band playing 9/21 was awesome. Unfortunately management there needs to be retrained on customer service. I saw this guy George get in to 3 arguments with different people there. He went as far as to physically threatened a lady saying he knew people he can call to take care of her. At the end not even security wanted to help this guy, his own staff had to come out and try to deescalate the situations he kept getting himself into. Please if anyone knows the owner, please ask him or her to send this man George to some type of management retreat before he ends up doing something that will get him into serious trouble. Other than that, great place to go read more

We came here on a Saturday night to celebrate our classmate's birthdays. The ambiance was definitely lively and bustling with a DJ that played great music all night long. Our server Kevin was excellent, very attentive, polite, and friendly. He did a great job serving our large party that was over 10 people. The only complaint I would have is about the front door security woman, she wanted me to open a small gift bag that was tied with a bow to see what was inside. I explained that it was just lotions no alcohol and told her to feel the bag. I walked away from her since she was giving me a hard time because she wanted to dismantle the gift bag. The male security saw this, let me in and escorted me to our party. Now for the food, it was surprisingly good, I had the lollipop wings that came with carrots and celery and ordered them buffalo style. They were pretty good and very tasty. We also ordered chips and guacamole, very fresh and flavorful. Overall we had a great time, they even had a Michael Jackson impersonator which just added to the enjoyment of the evening. We'll definitely be back but hopefully next time won't have to deal with such a rude and aggressive security person that went over board. read more

Came last weekend to party it up with my cousin for her birthday. We got there pretty early on a Saturday evening and was seated right away. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and drinks for our table of 10. I was famished (and buzzed) by the time the food came so I ate as soon as the food came out. I tried the buffalo chicken drumsticks and some carne asada fries. Both items were pretty tasty! We had asked for ranch and they gave us a bunch. Ranch was good too. I was too drunk to know if it was house made or store bought. The waitress came by often to check on us. They were pretty attentive. I did have to use the bathroom twice that night. The second time I used the bathroom, the place was already poppin' so I had to wait at least 15 minutes in line. The vibe that night was pretty fun. There were people of all ages having fun that night, including me. I loved the painting of Prince and Biggie on the walls. I'd totally come back next time I'm in town! read more

Came here for the 80s music, which they didn't play until after midnight. He went next-door to dance over there, the 80s more started playing the 80s music so we went back and they would not allow us back in even though it was 40min till closing. 20min to get a drink. Get four stars because I know this place can be great, unfortunately, this is the second time they don't play the 80s music on a weekend until right before closing Needed to add this part, the music they played was a lot of Spanish music, they didn't play any 90s either, one of the managers messaged me so I just wanna go ahead and respond to that saying that there was no 90s music either until after we had already left. But no worries hopefully next time there will be some 80s and 90s and less of todays rachet music because that is the point of this place or at least I thought it was. Also, I never said that I tried to go back at 12:45, the place closes at 1 PM. That's not the time I tried to go back I tried to go back at midnight. Shortly after midnight. There was still 40 minutes before the place was even going to close so I just wanted to be clear on that as well. I appreciate the responses from the management, and I'm looking forward to hopefully coming back. I do hope they add more bartenders to the bar as well because just two people is not enough. read more

Love this place super chill and clean. The staff was super nice and attentive. The buffalo cauliflower wings were so good! Had me wanting more , but the kitchen closes after a certain time. The drinks were good and well proportions . When the bill came, I was surprised in a good way. I expected the bill to be more for the amount of drinks that I ordered. The music was good.

I'd been here once before for karaoke and I do remember the security there patting me down and giving me a hard time with my insulin pump and having my blood sugar meter in my jacket with some syringes, but after that it was okay. It's sort of a weird clientele because you have cholos, adults that look like they're teenagers with those weird haircuts, the table with the tias that still think they're in their twenties, your metalhead and alt crew, and the average looking people not trying to play into anything. But it was PACKED. The restrooms were gross that first evening and when I went a few nights ago, still in bad shape. It wasn't busy at all when I went for karaoke but it just felt a little...I don't know, like an after hours train station. My server was kind and attentive, which I'd really appreciated, and the couple running the karaoke were kind. I really think that the place just needs an overhaul and regular cleaning. read more

The vibe, the drinks and the ambience was amazing!!!! Definitely going back more dancing!!!

Good music, drinks were weak, watered down, had to order shots on the side to put some alcohol in my drink. After my party stopped drinking i needed to wait until 10:30 for the bar to "open" so i could step up without my waiter to order a drink so I could get separate checks. Prices change after 10:30, ordered a bucket of beer and a shot of jack and it was $53. Menu says 35 for a bucket so the shot was $18? Make it make sense. Well I'm glad my friends brought the good times cause without them this place sucked more than it did that night. read more

We had an amazing time! My wife and her sassss went to hang at the bar for girls night. I was just the Uber who arrived a few hours later so they could enjoy their time LOL. I must say the waiter we had was very attentive, came back often to ensure we had everything we needed. We ordered the jalapeno poppers, the chicken, the nachos and plenty of drinks to go around like 10 times... Needless to say we spent about 300+ on a great time. The Mexican lollypop shot was the bonus and the best by far. My wife and I had an amazing time. The music was chill and they played lots of different genes. I just wished there was more dance room LOL because you know, it gets elbow to elbow when your having a great time!! Thanks for having us!! read more

I know bro you want to compete with the other bars, but you're just dive bar quality. A talented artist painting beautiful murals doesn't qualify you. Loved how I was brought the same napkins I buy at the market, I was impressed. Cheap quality in everything you do and it shows. Mismatched glassware, cheap silverware, unbalanced drinks, subpar service. YES, definitely overprice. Try harder read more

Tried coming here last night with my friends after visiting the brewery across the street and was turned away by security because I was wearing sweats and one of my friends was wearing shorts. I did check the website this morning, and it did have a dress code posted. It's January, and uptown Whittier is not an upscale neighborhood (I grew up in Whittier and don't mean that as an insult, just saying it's not Beverly Hills). This is why businesses in uptown struggle to stay open. read more

I only had drinks. They were decent. The only issue I had was that the music was too loud. They had a good band but it was too loud I couldn't hear my friends . Literally had to put my ear next to their face to hear what they were saying. read more

My husband and I have passed this place so many times and always looked like a cool vibe so decided to check it out on Valentine's Day. We requested a couple songs that were never played, so I went back up and ask another DJ he told me that's an old song, and never played it. On top of that somehow 4 drinks came out to $96. And I was never given a receipt never signed anything so I could leave our server a tip. So I asked for the receipt, and they never came with my receipt. This place is weird, seemed like it was aimed towards older crowd. And the music isn't what you would expect. Don't waste your time here. read more

I tried Flashbackz Lounge for the first time on Friday, January 12th. My friends and I had a good time. We arrived around 10pm. We had to wait in line to get in for about 10 minutes. Not too bad. The music was a fun variety. We heard 80s freestyle, funk, and R&B which are my favorite genres. All the stuff I grew up with. They threw in some '90s hip hop like Montel Jordan's "This is How We Do It" and 2000s hip hop like Lil Jon and Nelly. The playlist was awesome. The reason for 4 stars is the dance floor is a bit small. We had to really squeeze in. I get it. It's a popular place, but expanding the dance floor just a little would be nice. The bar gets a bit too busy too. It may take a while to get a drink at peak busy times (10:30-11:30). Remember where you are. You're in Whittier. We witnessed some Cholos fighting, but security quickly escorted them out. I overall felt safe, though. The crowd was chill. The dudes came on a little strong and kept hitting on us. Not a big deal, but it's nicer when they read the room a bit better. The crowd here is between mid 20s to mid 50s. It was the younger guys who kept trying to dance with us and hit on us. If you don't mind that, then you're in for a good time. I haven't tried the food here yet, but think I will next time. My friends and I plan on coming back. It was a lot of fun-great music and vibes. It's nice to have a spot like this without having to drive all the way to LA. read more

Flashbackz Lounge & Grill - Outside - Lounges Near Me - Whittier, California

Tried to go last night (Saturday, 1/27) and it was a bust. We were a party of 12 and arrived a little before 8 PM, and the line was stretching down the block. I was confused as to the reason for the line since there wasn't a special event. We chose to stand and wait as our friends were arriving. We asked what the wait time would be and were told until 10:30 pm...WHAT??!! We eventually left because that's ridiculous. We did get to go inside to use the restroom. This place is small and cramped with a bunch of tables in the middle of what could be a bigger dance floor. They don't allow reservations for any size party and I honestly don't understand. Take a deposit, put a time limit...make it work because it's not working right now. I saw a man sitting at a 4 top by himself while there's 100 people waiting outside. This would have been my first time but based on the experience just trying to get in...no thank you. read more

Will never go back. 1. Not enough seating and metal barstools suck. 2. Marketed as 80s - 90s music. Virtually no 90s music and when DJ was asked about some 90s music, his reply was how much do you want to pay for it? 3. Overcharged. Why was one Double Vodka Soda (well) $13 but ordering two of them at once was $36??? The second drink was $23!!! 4. For a party of 4 with 2 checks they added an automatic 20% gratuity. To each check! Thankful our honest server told me as I was about to add a tip because I didn't notice, (you know it's dark, late, and we have had a few) . When I asked why and is it posted somewhere, because we aren't a large party, she wasn't quite sure and said i think sometimes it depends on how busy it is? What in the world does that mean? Not busy enough so we add to get more, or super busy so let's take advantage. 4. Clientele a little rough... and rude. read more
