Wow, such a cool bar. The 70’s theming is spot-on (from the decorations to the vinyl store in the back) the atmosphere is amazing (lots of deep couches and lounge seats for cozy vibes) and the drinks and music are great. Great spot.

Love the vibe here! Had a fun time with my spouse and her mother. Staff is friendly and gets you your drinks fast, the seating is plentiful but def get there early if you don’t want to stand for a while. The bar fills up fast!

Didn't try any food. Excellent Cocktail Lounge, though it seems to cater to a younger crowd. Most everyone we saw was asked for ID on their way in. Decent cocktail skills evident, and an impressive bar back. They seem to run towards a wood interior, though rum and Tiki culture in their cocktails. Whisky or Whiskey drinkers, be ready with your choices if needs be. Moderately noisy and busy. This place sports a vinyl peddler in the rear, and select tunes creating the mood and vibe. Several bar seating areas with 4 packs of comfy but clunky bar stools. Easy to perch upon, difficult to reorganize along the bar.

What a unique spot. Moderate line on the weekend. Probably perfect midweek date.

This is not a review of Part Time Lover, one of Lionel Richie's best songs. No matter how much I've wanted to review that song, I won't be doing it here. Instead I'll focus on something else entirely.

Pablo has taken the best care of me and my group. We came in 15 deep with no reservation and he accommodated every single one of us. Love this place, great service.
I am a full time fan of the Part Time Lover. From it’s diverse range of drink options, to its even MORE diverse selection of vinyl (either on rotation or available for purchase), this now extremely well known “hidden gem” proves to be an eternal staple of North Park bar life, the glitz and glam attracting a Wave of Mutilation (and the occasional normies) to the once hallowed remains of Bar Pink.

This place makes you feel like you’re being transported to a different place and time. I like that they play vinyls from the record store that’s inside too. This is a great date spot, can be a very intimate setting. However, unless you like being in a packed place where you can barely hear each other, then to go during the week or before 6pm on weekends.

Nice place to buy vinyls. However the bald guy with beard doesn’t have too much disposition to help.

Very aggressive and rude bartenders. We were super excited to go here but wow what a disappointment! The bartender was so rude. Irritated with us upon arrival. Took 10-15 minutes to get basic drinks that were incredibly weak. To top it off, my second drink had a plastic straw with a piece of chewed up bubblegum on it hidden behind a large amount of mint leaves.

The drinks and atmosphere were amazing. Music super vibey, I came for the Thee Sacred Souls event with my girlfriend. Everything was honestly perfect besides the fact that I was rudely sassed by one of the bartenders I believe she said her name was Karen. She acted exactly like a “Karen”. Rude as hell for no reason and gave me and my girlfriend the nastiest attitude for asking questions regarding the drinks. She kept side eyeing us while preparing our drinks like we were bothering her for being customers! Like what!!! I’m not sure if it was racially motivated or what but I seriously hope she fixes that attitude of hers because it honestly ruined my night. It’s so saddening finding a place I would call my new favorite bar but there’s one singular person who ruins it all for you. Also super unrelated to her unnecessary ugly attitude, but her breath was not pleasant either. Pungent.
Gorgeous and really good drinks
