The Commoner - Whittier

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!

The bartender was fabulous. She did such a great job with our drinks. The gimlet was the perfect amount of sweet and sour, and bonus it was on their happy hour menu. The Pauline Black is a must for any tea lovers out there. They infuse black tea with gin, and yes, the flavors come through. It was the perfect place for a night cap and a small bite. But they have a menu that is intriguing and want to come back to try more.

Great spot for a drink or two. Compliments for the great service and the kick a55 cooks hustling in the back.

Delicious $15 cocktails! The place was lively on a Thursday night, bustling until around 10 PM. The service was outstanding. This spot is a must-visit during your bar-hopping adventures in Whittier. They also offer food! The ceviche portions were larger than expected, perfect for sharing. The mixologist can whip up drinks that aren't on the menu, including classic favorites. I went with a group of women, and it was an ideal setting for catching up and chatting. The service provided was excellent; we received plenty of water refills without needing to ask.

Recommended dishes include the Olive Tapenade Bruschetta, Tri Tip Sandwich, Blueberry Morita Crostini, and Chipotle Hummus.
