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

Making a reservation through OpenTable was quick and easy, which set the tone for a smooth evening from the start. When we arrived, we were welcomed by warm, moody lighting and a friendly host who seated us right away. Our server, Rashad, introduced himself and helped us choose drinks based on our preferences, which we really appreciated. We started with the carpaccio platter and the black crispy rice--both were excellent and definitely worth ordering. We also shared three signature rolls, and every one of them was delicious. Throughout the evening, Rashad was attentive and personable, making thoughtful recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. The entire staff contributed to the experience--everyone who delivered our dishes was friendly, and a special shoutout to the busser who promptly cleared empty plates so our table never felt crowded. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. You can truly tell the staff works as a team to create a memorable experience for their guests. I highly recommend it for a special dinner date with friends or your significant other.

Loud, and crowded, but in a good way. It just wasn't the vibe we were looking for with my 91-year-old mother-in-law, so we looked around and then left. Here are my observations: * Seems to be more beer focused than wine. Large list of beers on tap, with about 10-15 bottles of wine in a dispensing machine. * The crowd was younger, with some scattered patrons closer to our age. * Very lively atmosphere, but not sure they have table service (seemed like everyone lined up at the bar to order drinks). * An entire wall of beers and wines available for purchase to go. * The restrooms were clean. * There's primarily on street parking, with lots nearby, but not sure they were public parking or private (no signage). Felt like this could be a fun place to hang out, so we'll definitely visit again and partake of their liquid refreshments.

This is a lounge, where you can linger and drink, but it looks more like a small restaurant to be. The bartender was quite friendly. We ordered the nachos, Margherita pizza and shrimp tacos. The bartender told us we were going to be full for days. The nachos was delicious. It uses a different type of cheese that was not the conventional yellow cheese, pepper jack. Because of this, i wanted to try it. It was something new and was shareable in size. It is a good choice with a group. The shrimp tacos were also good. Based on the previous reviews here, it is a must try as the flavor was impressive. The pizza was fair. It didn't blow me away and is above your regular fast food take out pizza. It is pretty decent in size to take room in your gut with the alcohol, but don't expect it to blow you away with flavors. Overall, nice hang out spot, great staff, and food pretty good if you're going to share. Give this spot a shot.

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.
