Throwbacks Sanford

This is where you want to be to unwind, bring friends, and just enjoy a Thursday night out. The bartenders are absolutely cool, they prep Jell-O shots for the night, and the pizza is also really good, but that could also be the liquor plus American staple talking. Karaoke wise: I think this is my favorite place. You get up on stage, and if it's your first time it can be nerve wracking. But once you get started, you don't want to stop. Like the pantheons are hearing your battlecry. Anyway, shoutout to the Dj and Bartenders!

Stopped in for a quick cocktail before seeing a play and was not disappointed! It was $20 for the pictured cube and was made perfect for me and my girlfriend to get a buzz going. Well worth the money. The bartender was awesome as well interacting with us. The place did have a smell to it but not terrible and it was aired out with the door open, all in all we will be back!

Cute little place in downtown Sanford! Was not really liking the people singing in the karaoke, but I do appreciate the old school games and the bartender was amazing!

Throwbacks is a great little bar off Sanford Avenue in downtown Sanford. This bar has changed hands a couple of times over the years. It used to be called the Stranded Sailor Pub then after that the British pub (the owner was from somewhere in England). Back in those days the venue showcased a band almost every weekend. The Bands were mostly a local rock/punk style genre which we enjoyed although it could be LOUD at times. Regardless, we appreciated the great drink specials and the opportunity to see a local band performing original music right here in downtown Sanford. Now, Throwbacks has more of a sports/interactive gaming vibe which caters to more customers in my opinion. There are a variety of FREE games you can play with friends while enjoying a drink or some quality food from their limited menu. There are multiple TV monitors available for watching sports related entertainment and CHIVE TV. They have a decent sized liquor bar along with some of the best craft beers available for purchase. Robbie (the owner) and Drew have always been super nice and helpful on every visit. I never have to wait long for a drink, even on busy nights. Once you get to know the crew, they treat you like royalty. There are several large picnic style tables available for dining/drinking and a smaller raised platform that allows additional seating next to the window to view activity on Sanford Avenue. There is a small undeveloped seating area in the front of the venue. I look forward to seeing what Robbie decides to do with this portion of the building. Additionally, there is also a large fenced-in back patio area they will most likely dress up in the near future.All-n-all Throwbacks is one of my favorite pubs in downtown Sanford. They have a great thing going and I look forward to see where they will be in a few years to come.

Update on my review. I reached out to the owner, he promised to look into the situation and take care of it. Not sure whats going on because he has ignored me ever since that contact. As a business owner what he has done has so far has been unfortunate. I realize his employee may have lied to him about the event, as she obviously was mistaken the night it happened. I met the owner one evening at Busters, he was nice, I do not think he remembers me, either way he has not got back to me about my concerns, so I guess he just does not give a shit how his staff treats people.

First time visiting Sanford Downtown and found this arcade bar. My husband and I enjoyed some free games while having a beer. It wasn't really crowded so we actually got to try most of the games. Would definitely come back with friends.

Been in several times, even when it was slow and the service is spotty. For a get your drink and play video games place it's just fine. The crowd skews young, so be ready for a more meet-market vibe than other watering holes in Sanford. The food is where they really lost points. I understand supply chain issues, but we ordered chips that were supposed to have crumbled blue cheese and balsamic vinegar on them. What we got were chips with ranch dressing. The person in the kitchen claimed that the bottle wasn't even labeled, which is scary if that's true. Regardless, blue cheese dressing and crumbles are not the same. I would have rather been told they can't make something than be served something incorrect.

Christine, Jack, Tyler and Amanda go above and beyond for everyone. love this place. best staff.

Their was been plenty of times i've bought thesame drink(sugary vodka seltzer) during the day and it was a way lower price during than it was at night. when did the late night menu start ? is it because of tips? EITHER WAY i charged it to the game and accepted it's my last time purchasing a drink there. Had some good times there. Even some from this past visit. But it was super weird. made no sense. lowkey a regular, and was even shocked at the last comment talking about this. didn't know i'd be next!!

For everyone who uses cards either take pictures of your receipts or keep track on what you spend here they updated the cost of my drinks and extra $10 they charged me an extra $3 on 1 transaction and $8 on the other I didn't tip due to my budget for the night so why was I charged and extra $10. This is ridiculous.
