If you are black and come here prepare to be racially profiled. I came here to support my friend, and of all the 70 people in the room he was on my coattails. The “security”(with tattoos everywhere mentionable) here the guy with many tattoos is bias. I was accompanying my friend, but as I was trying to assist my friend to the bathroom he was immediately on my heels. And throughout the night he was staring me down, me one of two only black guys on the Latin. This place is not exclusive, and the POC here uphold the racism of WC.

Went here a few years back for my birthday. I’ve been to plenty of bars, but I’ve never experienced security as unprofessional and rude as I did here. they were dismissive, aggressive, and spoke down to us for no reason. Also seeing the way they’re responding to other bad reviews just speaks for them as a company. Plenty of other great places to go in Walnut Creek.

Went to Retro Junkies and had one of the worst, most unprofessional experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. The staff illegally confiscated my fiancée’s valid ID, claiming it was fake. I’m 26 and she’s 28 why on earth would we need fake IDs?
When we called back the next day to speak with management, they told us the ID would be ready for pickup. But when we arrived, it had mysteriously disappeared. They offered no explanation, no replacement, nothing — just “a table for the night” as if that made up for them taking and losing a government-issued ID.
This place is sketchy, careless, and completely unprofessional. If you value your time, money, and personal property, stay far away.

Great vibes, terrible cocktails. It's all just crappy pre-made or horrific ratios with monstrosities of ingredient quality. Stick with anything canned or be around tap unless you want to just do shots. I would be happy to pay a couple more bucks for an actual craft cocktail made with quality made by a mixologist. Besides that, the customer service is awesome, the rules and regs are more than understandable, and when they bring in live music you're into, it's a really good time. Overall it's a great place, just stay away from the cocktails... Unless you're a Jack and Coke kind of person, then I will not be having cocktails with you regardless lol. Glad to have this place in the creek, been here a few times and it's always good times.

This place I’ve been coming to for a long time has gone downhill. They have taken seats away for their reserved seats.no sight lines inother words you can’t seem the bands at all. The cocktail’s suck waterdowned. They need to raise the stage . As a person with disabilities they suck.

Cool place, we watched a Selina cover band. They were very good
This is the place to see and be seen. Especially if you like GenX music. It's totally gnarly.

Went there with my husband and it was a great place but he got a little hungry and decided to get some food they had in a fenced off area that they provided. He was told that if we exited to get food we would have to walk all the way back around to the front when we were both paying customers with the cover charge at $20 per person. My husband is a disabled veteran with one leg and it didn’t make sense to provide an area to get food and be told to walk all the way back around to get in the building. My husband recorded all interactions with security and will upload to show how people from this country that served and defended for our freedom are really treated.

Great place to go but stupid rules when the have a fence off area to get food thats 10 feet from the door and if you step outside to get food you have to walk all the way around to go back inside after being in a fence off area they have provided.
