Drinks are the highlight here. Tried a few from the menu that I haven’t seen elsewhere and they were all on point. They also have the staples (like old fashions, etc,,) and their whiskey selection is pretty decent. Atmosphere is nice for like a relaxed date night, and the specialty shots were great too!

Love this low key, high end bar. Best of both worlds. Dark and warm atmosphere. Phenomenal happy hour and cocktails. We came for after dinner cocktails and ordered an espresso martini and a “Coffee and Cigarettes” and they were perfect! FYI It’s not closed. Try the door!

Only two places in Uptown Whittier can you find amazing crafted cocktails, the Vandalist and the Guildhall.
The Vandalist is a much cooler sophisticated place. The vibe with the soft red dim lights, pleasant music makes it ideal for date night.
Highly recommend the olive tapenade crostini paired with their flat iron toast and the Sazerac…..Yummy!!!

Unconventional. The bar clearly ignored legal obligations for checking IDs and preventing intoxication. Our IDs weren’t even checked. Their failure to conduct proper screening at the entrance and prevent outside alcoholic beverages is a clear indication of their operational negligence.

Nothing implied about not quite 5 stars. The place was great, cool setting and just chilled and checked out the scene. Thx Steve for being cool and chatting. Will most def be back.

I recently hosted a company happy hour event at The Vandalist and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and hospitality we received. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time, making our group feel welcome and attended to.
The drinks were of excellent quality and expertly prepared, while the food was simply delicious. The ambiance was perfect for our event, with great space for socializing and mingling. The music selection was also spot-on and contributed to the fun and lively atmosphere.
Overall, I can’t recommend this bar highly enough for anyone seeking a memorable happy hour experience. Thank you to the staff for helping make our event a resounding success. We will definitely be back!

First and foremost! Ask for Justin to make you a drink! Let him do his thing! Amazing mixologist! I’m so happy we decided to stop here instead of the whiskey place next door! The food was like mouth porn! The atmosphere amazing! The only reason I’m taking a star off…. The bathroom was kinda cringe! You guys can’t have that amazing place and the bathroom be like a dive bar… dress it up and clean it up!

This hands down the best bar in uptown. Every cocktail I’ve had was delicious! A little bit of darker aesthetic chill vibe. Staff are chill and diligent.
