    I love this bar! I found it about 2016. Cool vibe in quiet nites. In busy nights.... Anything goes! I have stopped by while their was a wedding after party going on. Their tables were decorated and had centerpieces with pictures of the couple. Another night, a BBQ truck was there with some kick ass bbq. I have seen birthdays parties, bachelorette too. The have karaoke, guest DJs (Funky Fellows) and a pool table. There were all kinds of board games, I'm didn't remember seeing them when I last visited. My friend and I loved playing Jenga with dirty things written on the pieces. Lol! Taqueria Colima is in the same at strip, but it closes at 10. McDonalds is on the corner and Weinersnitzel is across the street if you get hungry. The owner is named Bernard. He is very protective if his establishment. I like him, he is always friendly. This is my favorite Dive Bar.

    I have to say I found this place on a fluke. I ride for the American Legion Riders and stopped by this place to have a drink and honor our fallen. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. It's a great dive bar! I would recommend this place to all Motorcycle clubs and motorcycle chapters! Thank you for great service!

    Yummm. Whiskey.

    Had a great time!…read more From the greeter at the door to the bartender, we had an awesome time. Didn't get any food - we were stuffed - but the food sounded inviting. Nice atmosphere for talking and enjoying drinks.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

    First, the reason my son and I went there was because Debbie Watkins RIP worked there. I worked at…read moreSGWS when it was SWS for 15 years. There were several retirement parties at Sportsman's Lounge. It was my birthday so I thought it would be a comfortable place to go for a couple drinks and maybe play pool. I have a walker so when we came in we went to a table and waited and waited and waited for the bartender to come take our order. I told my son this guy obviously doesn't want a tip. I finally put my hands up like what the heck? The bartender put his hands up the same. He said we had to come to the bar to get drinks. So we went to the bar to get drinks and my son needed salt and lime for his shots so the bartender said I'll come to your table. I gave him my credit card and he said he'd keep it at the bar. I told him I probably couldn't outrun him. But he said there's cameras everywhere. I didn't realize it but he pointed them out. My son went to the bar and got our 2nd drinks and came back. We finished our drinks and the bartender came over and handed me the bill. I didn't have my glasses so I couldn't actually read it right then but I put it away. He didn't ask me to sign anything and I expected that because I used a credit card. When I got home I looked at the bill and that bartender added in $8.99 tip and an extra drink for me to the bill. I'm going to do whatever I have to but if I happen to walk in and see that bartender I will leave immediately. He's a liar and a thief with no class and I don't appreciate it.

The food was amazing, very flavorful, colorful, and served with grace. Our waiter was fantastic, and the owner was just amazing. He was extremely friendly and made sure everything was okay. The drinks were delicious, the Asada plate was wonderful, the meat was so tender and juicy, the chili relleno was different from what you think it would be, but also very delicious. They brought out the chips first, and they were great. The owner let us know everything was fresh and was flown in from Mexico, I believe he said Oaxaca.The guacamole is amazing! The vibe was very home like yet colorful and open. Fridays they have live music. Please if you havent tried Sol make a stop you won't regret it.

    Horchata was unmixed or bland because it was watered down…read more The Jamaica was the same. Carne asada, decent. Apps are ok but I was partial to the taquitos. Camarones come with the tail on. They look just like bagged Costco shrimp. Flavor is ok on the chips you get when you sit down. No salsa as this is a Oaxaca style spot. The mole drizzle on top is ok. The biggest issue is that the online web menu did not match what was available in the restaurant on a weekend. No tlayuda or huarache/sope or tacos even. Bizzare and not cool because when we arrived, we realized this and still decided to stay. So. Thats on us. Would not return. This place is cute inside and I could tell it wants to be trendy and cute. The music was loud and kinda clubbey but still not enough to make the food enjoyable. Alcohol drinks are very pretty, aesthetically. Waitresses also were not busy on a weekend at dinner time. I could see that they were chatting in the corner. There was only one other table there so I get it. However, when she got our order. It was wrong so that rubbed me the wrong way.
