This establishment was quite interesting. There's a diner in section at the front towards the street and in the rear has a bar with two booths. This is a lounge, where you can linger and drink, but it looks more like a small restaurant to be. The bartender was quite friendly. We ordered the nachos, Margherita pizza and shrimp tacos. The bartender told us we were going to be full for days. The nachos was delicious. It uses a different type of cheese that was not the conventional yellow cheese, pepper jack. Because of this, i wanted to try it. It was something new and was shareable in size. It is a good choice with a group. The shrimp tacos were also good. Based on the previous reviews here, it is a must try as the flavor was impressive. The pizza was fair. It didn't blow me away and is above your regular fast food take out pizza. It is pretty decent in size to take room in your gut with the alcohol, but don't expect it to blow you away with flavors. Overall, nice hang out spot, great staff, and food pretty good if you're going to share. Give this spot a shot. read more

We were near by looking for a spot to eat and watch the Lakers game. My lady saw this spot while driving on Greenleaf which is the main street on downtown Whittier. Plenty self parking in the back, btw sneaky hidden the location. We walked and the bartender told us to take seat. The spot was small but very quiet one other couple they watching the game and drinking. They do have food limited, but had sliders and pizza with 2 sangrias which awesome. The food good, but best it was chill they play music while the game is on no sound, it was refreshing because we were able to awesome conversations with each other while eating and watching the game. Restrooms were. Lean but tiny again I am 6'2 it work for her she is 5'2. Later some regulars came in and that homie feeling definitely must stop and we are making plans to come again. read more

So I've been here twice in the last month. Came for the start of the Santa Pub crawl that happened in December and came back for New Years Eve. Both nights were fun. They have limited seating with tables. And about half a dozen seats at the bar. They had a DJ every time I went. The Santa Pub crawl was on the weekend. And NYE well it always has music. They have one waitress which was very nice and attentive. The manager helped us get a table on the Pub Crawl. It's more like a neighborhood bar. But in Uptown Whittier. The regulars there seem to know each other. But are very welcoming. They have food but mainly bar food. It takes a while to get food when the place is packed. So order as soon as possible. The place has security in the entrance. And you can wear casual clothes. But don't worry if you are dressed nice. Seems like a mixed crowd. I've been here before a while a go. The place looks the same still. They also have rotating beers on Tap and bottles. And a full bar. To wet your whistle. From mixed drinks to shots and specials. read more

I have been a customer of Spin Lounge on several occasions over the years. And yes it is very true customer service depends heavily on what bartender is working (Josh is amazing), who you come there with and/or the mood of the female bartender on that particular day. Last evening a couple of friends and I stopped by for a drink after spending the day in uptown bar hopping. It was about 7pm when we decided to make a stop at Spin. As we walked in the 2 high top tables as you enter had no one sitting at them, but did notice one had children toys and an iPad on it. The other was completely empty and had no reserved sign on it. I said hi to the owner Jesse and put my stuff down at the empty seat in order to use the restroom. As I'm about to enter the restroom the female bartender rudely comes over from mid restaurant stating "my kid is sitting there", mind you the toddler was running around playing/climbing on seats where other patrons were and no where near the empty table, and her caretaker was on her phone. I asked "is she seating on both tables?" And again got a rude sarcastic response "she's taking up all of it!" I am all for a family friendly establishment, but providing poor customer service because you have your child at work with you is unacceptable! Needless to say we left right after this incident and went on our way to one of the many other spots in uptown where all are welcomed and paying customers are treated with respect. read more

Solid spot. Food was excellent. Drink choices were good. Typical bar ambience and service; on the better than average side for both. I'll be back. read more

great spot . super og. whittier been coming here forever you should too get the wings

Awesome spot. Super friendly owners, great food, great drinks and great service. Always a great time, they've been around since forever. One time I saw a crazy lady walk in demanding free drinks saying she 'knew the owner'. Thing is, she didn't. The owner was actually on shift and even though she got belligerent the owner handled it like a champ. read more

I've been coming to Spin Lounge since I was 21 years old (I'm now 37). I've seen this bar go through many changes, but one thing that has remained consistent is the amazing food, music, ambiance, and vibes. The place is small, but it is so much fun to hear a dj and vibe out to music. Even when there is no music, it's worth it just to come for the delicious food and amazing drinks. My husband and I stopped in for an early dinner a few weeks ago. We love the hand crafted cocktails. They are seriously the best in whittier. We shared a cheeseburger. It was so flavorful, and the fries were salty and hot. We also split a side salad and mozzarella sticks. Both were fantastic. The mozzarella sticks are hand breaded. I'd definitely order all those things again. I've tried so many items throughout the years that it's hard to pinpoint a favorite. All I know is that even though I no longer live in Whittier, I still make an effort to come out and support this place because it holds a special spot in my heart. read more

Great food! Good drinks! Good music? Like the DJ booth concept. I think they were on a TV show too. Maybe that explains the curated food.

I went back for the lemon drops and convinced my partner to go but this time the owner not attentive or friendly or welcoming! We felt that we had to beg for the drinks not so nice and little standoffish yes had few guest but seems if your not a local the treatment is not the same honestly was excited to return but after this encounter felt I was not welcomed. Not other servers!!! felt we had to beg for our drinks.. owner too self centered I guess our business was not needed that day. Very disappointed! read more

I always have an amazing time here! They have quality food and FANTASTIC cocktails!! The owner takes the time to ensure quality is guaranteed and protects his regular customers from crazy customers. The weekly DJ is poppin!!! You all should come!! read more

Delicious finger foods! We ordered nachos, sliders and some fries. Drinks were also great! Waitress seemed a little irritated with our group, maybe because it was about 14 of us. Also, wasn't a fan of the music the dj was playing and when my friend requested a song he got pretty upset. read more

Great service friendly staff and the food very good. I had the homemade chicken mole which was excellent w/kick! My compliments to The Chef. And they are dog friendly. We had dinner outside in the patio, which could use a redo. all in all it was a very pleasant experience. I will be going back. read more

Been residing in Uptown Whittier for about 6 years now and finally decided to hit the bar scene in the area. I must say, this place is great. The staff is amazing, drinks are good and the place is nice! To add, the food is tasty as well. I have had a great few random nights just listening to the other patrons. Love this spot. Go you guys! read more

I used to like this place but the bartenders pick the music and don't care to please the customers. The waitress was rude as well. They played bob Marley all night which I like but when I'm drinking it's nice to have a variety I kindly asked JOSH for a song and he said this was the playlist he picked for his shift and he couldn't change it. That's fine they feel that way they lost some regulars. read more

We are new to town. Sat at the bar to watch the laker game. Great pre and post game music. Food was pretty good too. Definitely a spot we will frequent. Loved the quaint atmosphere but also it was just well done aesthetically. Bartender was attentive. Overall exceptional and I'm pretty hard core judgmental. read more

I've been coming to Spin Lounge for years for so many reasons. It has it's own kinda allure, different, from other uptown eateries. The food is always solid and has variety. Their drink selection is immaculate and flavorful. Constant rotating taps keep me happy. The MAIN reason I come back every time is for the ultra friendly service. Especially from Josh! His knowledge of the menu and drinks is outstanding! Best wings in Whittier! read more

We've now been to the Spin Lounge a couple of times. The food here is AMAZING. It's interesting and delicious. We've had the nachos, sliders, and took the waiter's recommendation and got the chicken burrito recently. Oh my mm mm mm good. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I think they need to invest in some printed menus already. Covid is over and when we were there last the QR code for their menu wasn't working so we had to ask what was on the menu. Highly recommend this place!! read more

My first time ever at a sports bar, and I had an amazing night! Our server was so attentive! I just wish they had more sports playing there, but other than that amazing first experience! Food was delicious and drinks were STRONG!!! After about 9pm the place comes TO LIFE, as music is played and the light are dimmed. I must say, I was not expecting to have such a fabulous night here because I don't normally drink but I'm glad I did! read more

Service was bad. It took 40 minutes to get 2 appetizers. The table next to us arrived after us and was served first. Waitress was rude when I asked her where our appetizers were. read more

This review reflects the weekend brunch with the guest cook JC. I have been following JC since he had his restaurant here in uptown. I have always felt his food has been underrated. It has an authentic Mexican flavor that reminds me of my moms cooking but with a modern twist. What stands out most is the consistency; every time we come the food is the same great quality. The food also reasonably priced, I spend less here than I would at other brunch's and I will get more food. The drinks here at spin lounge have been a nice addition, we often get the pomegranate margarita and its delicious. The bartender definitely knows what hes doing and has made it a great experience. read more

Well I already know this place is more geared to the younger crowd. Were in the new 30's age range - not; 40 & not exactly dead. Thinking if we came early afternoon it might not be too bad. I was wrong. The smell everyone talks about is there, I can't describe the smell, it hits you, but like the fog, you just can't figure out what it is? Didn't eat there, so can't comment on that part, although the smell would be a red flag not to want to eat there. Why did we go there again...oh yea they have Hangar 24, but only Columbus IPA (Orange Wheat - don't know if they ran out or don't carry it anymore...website shows they should). Now that tasted good, a little steep for a pint, but considering in Uptown everything there is a little on the "cha-chingy" side. The bartender was kinda a douche. Waitress was Ok. The clientele there were mostly 20-30 something year-olds so it's age appropriate. But thinking back to my youth the people in charge or servicing always did seem cold and mean to the younger generation, but have no problem taking their money. But why would one that age want to be treated like shit for patronizing a business just for being young? The only thing good about this place was the music. Pass on this one. read more

I've been a JC's customer for some time now, so I got super excited when I found out he was opening brunch at Spin Lounge. Now I've been here every single weekend supporting since they've opened for brunch. My ultimate favorite is the chicken and waffles, and you can tell why if you see the picture. It's mouth watering with all the fresh fruit, syrup, and that tangy, smoky, spicy secret sauce they all put over it. My other favorite is their beef Barbacoa chilaquiles. It's very unique, with different flavors pulling you in many directions. I have literally tried everything on the menu, and probably most of the specials and if you've never been here, you must come and try and I promise you will not regret it, if anything your taste buds and belly will thank you read more
