The Vandalist

Cannot say enough great things about this place! Came by for happy hour on a weekday after work. Was pretty quiet around 5:30pm but got busy around 7pm. Love the vibes, very intimate environment with low lighting but upbeat music. Great staff, very considerate and constantly checked in on us. Cocktails were delish, great selection of drinks. Tacos and dumplings came out quickly, were super fresh and tasty! Pork belly was more on the sweet side with the yummy sauce they drizzled and shrimp taco was tangy and fresh. Dumplings were good, but nothing too crazy in terms of flavor and texture. They have free street parking or a parking structure behind the building. In a great neighborhood with other businesses and restaurants. Definitely a great spot to come with friends or for a date night!

I loved the vibe and loved the bartender, Ryn! Kind and personable, very knowledgeable. Drinks are fantastic! Coffee N Cig 10/10Amaretto Sour 10/10 *I wished it was a little more sour, but amazing! If you're looking for a cool place to call your spot or to show off to visiting friends and family, this is it!

This is a nice intimate spot for date night. I brought my fiancé here for his birthday and we both enjoyed the vibe and drinks. Our server, Steven, was very knowledgeable and suggested a few drinks to try! I really enjoyed the Coffee & Cigs drink - it reminded me of an espresso martini.

Really great drinks, fun Valentine's Drink Menu, and lovely decor. Went for Valentine's Day with my hubby.

Food - a variety of options for a crafty cocktail barService- very attentive friendly and welcoming Ambiance- dark, romantic, definitely a vibe

Great little spot for cocktails and apps.its super dark inside and the music is a little on the loud side - I felt like we were yelling at each other on a 4 top table to be able to have conversation. The ambience is fun and the waiters are also super nice. My old gripe was the sound level for music but only cuz I hate yelling and losing my voice to just have a conversation with friends we had stuffed olives and was hoping to order the charcuterie plate but they ran out of ingredients that evening. Next time!

I discovered this place by chance just walking down uptown Whittier. This area is known for having a younger crowd. It's a college area, so I wasn't expecting to find a place like this. It's super chill very dark and intimate. It's very upscale and perfect for a date nite.... Our waiter was very friendly, and super chatty with us, which I happen to love ...! She recommended some great drinks! Can't wait to bring my friends I recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere nice to have a drink and maybe a snack .! Their cocktails are very unique and it's a very relaxing environment. It's a must if you're in Whittier !!

I love this dark intimate space for drinks and light appetizers. It's great for date night or girl night, the drinks are very pretty and so are the appetizers.

This is probably the best bar in uptown Whittier. The drink menu changes, but their drinks are always so unique and perfectly flavored. The service is always good, whether you're sitting at the bar or have a table. The menu items seem to also change occasionally, but again you can't go wrong with anything you order here. I love the dimly lit lights and the music playing.

Alijah is an amazing bartender and always gives great suggestions on drinks. I love the ambiance and the drinks are consistently delicious.
