I would recommend Mandala to my friends and family and will absolutely be back! I ordered the sierra norte mezcal drink and it was perfect.

My favorite nights are Thursday and Sunday for karaoke but lately they've been having actual karaoke contest on Saturday night. Last contest was $500 in prizes. Next week, $1000 in prizes. If you're secretly a rockstar now, is your chance to shine! This is not only for perfect singers. Karaoke is for everybody that has the balls to grab that microphone and sing your life. Epic is a safe place that wants you to have a good time. I absolutely love everybody that works here. The place is a total vibe! Great place to have a midweek birthday party who doesn't love a karaoke birthday party! The space is also available for private events. #5StarsEveryTime.

This review is about Karaoke night on Saturday 9/21. The staff is amazing. Except for one dude…read more I've been to a myriad of different karaoke bars throughout LA and SoCal in general and never have I been treated as poorly as I was by the dude running karaoke tonight. Let me preface by saying I believe the point of karaoke is to simply have fun and enjoy singing. But, you should also be treated with RESPECT. Whoever this dude was when I asked him if he could pitch my song up or down said he didn't have time for this and proceeded to just pick a random video off his youtube app. Honestly, singer or not, I find this to be incredibly disrespectful. You should be trying to make your clients have a good time and make them feel special. Otherwise, you're just a dude playing youtube videos off your phone. If you want good Karaoke, go to Same Ol Saloon. They'll treat you with respect.

From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

The only thing I remember from that last visit was that it was loud and packed. Not so much this time around. Walked in, right up to the bar and grabbed a few seats. I'll mention that there was street parking available but I had arrived earlier and parked in the structure a block away. Not the one for Porto's but the free multi-level garage. You can see it from the Porto's garage. Service was friendly when present. He was busy prepping which wasn't an issue as he was behind the bar so when needed, it was easy to get his attention. Not a big deal as we were busy talking shop. Food was ok. Drinks were better. Sometimes I like boozy and the drinks I ordered that night delivered. Imagine balanced so there's flavor but with a kick. Kind of like when you're home and drinking - and then instead of making a fresh new one, you just splash more into the already existing mix. Like I said, hit the spot. Not a place I'd go back to, to eat. But definitely for an adult beverage. Or ten.

I wasn't being disruptive or disrespectful , I simply wasn't vibing with the set. From what I could see, I wasn't the only one who wasn't feeling the music either. Instead of handling things professionally, the situation escalated for no reason. The manager ended up asking me to leave, even though I had done absolutely nothing wrong. I wasn't causing a scene, bothering anyone, or breaking any rules. It felt personal and unnecessary. Guests should be able to enjoy (or not enjoy) music without being targeted or removed. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning

We had brunch at Mandala and accidentally discovered Beso when we followed the music through the hallway. Suddenly we were in a full R&B dance floor situation and it was so much fun. The transition from brunch vibes to day-party energy was seamless and honestly the perfect way to keep the celebration going. Apparently you can also reserve tables inside Beso as part of the R&B brunch experience, which we didn't realize at the time but now that we know, that might be the move next time. The vibes were great, the crowd was fun, and people were definitely ready to dance. My only small note: I wish they had leaned a little harder into classic R&B. Whenever the DJ dropped the throwbacks, the dance floor lit up immediately which makes sense since most of the crowd looked very millennial. Give us the classics! Overall, we had an absolute blast and loved the combo of brunch at Mandala followed by dancing at Beso. It turned a regular brunch into a full Sunday day-party experience. Can't wait to come back and do it again.
