I walked into That 80's Bar fully aware of its mixed reviews. A lot of 1-star complaints about strict rules, bad service, and the overall experience had me wondering if we were making a mistake. But our friends and my wife and I wanted to catch up somewhere with live music, so we gave it a shot. At its core, this place is exactly what it claims to be--a loud, divey 80's-themed bar with a dance floor, a DJ, and a live band. Drinks were basic but fine--no craft cocktails here, but that's not what this place is about. The crowd was mostly in the 30-50 range, with some younger and older. The vibe was definitely high energy, and for a lot of people there, it seemed like a fun, let-loose kind of night. The Experience: Crazy loud. Between the DJ and the band, it was LOUD--like, can't-hear-your-own-thoughts loud. Maybe we're just getting old, but we left when our ears couldn't take any more. Past Action Heroes were a wild ride. The band was high-energy and kept the crowd going, but for us, the constant sex jokes got old fast. Funny once, maybe twice... but after every song, it felt like overkill. The dancing crowd didn't seem to mind, so maybe that's just us. The atmosphere is what you'd expect. A dive bar with neon, a packed dance floor, and a crowd that's mostly there to party. If you're looking for a chill spot to sip drinks and chat, this isn't it. The Not-So-Great: No food + no re-entry is a bad combo. If you won't let people back in, at least offer some bar snacks. Rules matter, but so does customer experience. The no re-entry thing makes sense from a security perspective, but it doesn't make sense for customer satisfaction. They bent the rule for us, and that made a difference. They've been beaten up in reviews, but some complaints are valid. I can see why people either love or hate this place. The energy is great, but the policies and volume level might not be for everyone. Final Take: Honestly, this is a 3-star place for me, but I'm giving it 5 stars because they broke their own rule to accommodate us--which tells me they actually do care about the customer experience. Plus, I think some of the 1-star reviews are overly harsh. That said, management should take consistent feedback seriously. Would I go back? Maybe, with earplugs. Would I recommend it? Depends. If you love loud music, high-energy bands, and don't mind some over-the-top humor, this might be your spot. If you're looking for a more balanced, relaxed experience, this probably isn't it. Either way, if you go--eat first.

speakeasy Tron
Jo O.

The speakeasy of Tron in 2024! I am missing this lay out so much! The drinks were amazing!!! I really hope they re do this set up!!! Especially with the new movie coming out!!!

Deadites!

I haven't been to That 80s bar itself. Only twice for The Tron Speakeasy and the Evil dead speakeasy. Tickets are limited online and reserved timed so come early so you have enough time to enjoy your stay at the speakeasy. You're ticket comes with one drink token. Parking is either street or a swamp meet parking lot across the way. The Evil dead speakeasy had to be one of my favorites. The characters they hired and the whole theme. I love horror so I would definitely do it again according to a theme I enjoy.

Tribute shows coming up
Devianna C.

I don't recommend coming here. If you go to the speakeasy next door, they will literally watch you if you come next door to the 80s bar, and then cut you off in drinks. They told my friend she's cut off because she's intoxicated. I didn't realize we had a drink limit if we do both. Apparently we don't but they're cutting us off regardless. It's her birthday and they're ruining it. They said she's intoxicated yet she is in heels, has not fallen, hasn't even tripped, hasn't done anything sloppy. Hasnt dropped a drink. This is incredibly unfair. Aside from the mistreatment of my friend, the drinks are still wack. 4 drinks here, two at the speakeasy and I'm sober lol this is ridiculous. $120 later not including two entrance fees you would think I would have a buzz. If you want good music and bad drinks this is the place for you

Naughty and Nice cocktails
Leeann M.

The bar isn't in the best area. The parking lot is across the street and didn't feel safe. A woman approached me trying to give me a "med spa goody bag" and there was a voice recording that kept blasting nearby with a warning of being too close to their building and a recording in progress. *THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE ROTATING SPEAKEASY IN THE BACK, SPECIFICALLY THE MATTERHORN LODGE* Overall opinion: fun theme, expensive drinks, long wait, small space, unique experience. Made reservations for the pop-up speakeasy (that seems to have a rotating theme) and there were plenty time slots to choose from the later half of the evening. When we got there they let us know they were 25 minutes behind but by the time we got in it was 35 mins past our reserved time. As they escorted us to the bar they let us know there was a two-drink minimum which came as a surprise. We're told that drinks ordered at the bar with cash got a discount so we headed there first. The discount for paying cash was $.88 lol. The drinks were pretty, and strong, taste was OK. We then tried to find a place to stand because it was so packed. I was under the impression the reservation meant we got seats but you have to try to snag the limited spots when people leave. We stood awkwardly smashed in the back taking in the scene. The decor was perfectly Matterhorn and yeti themed. Lots of fun details including screens playing snow themes that made you feel like you were in the mountains. We were lucky to get a seat about 20 mins in since it seemed like they kept letting more people in while only a few people left. We decided we weren't going to stay much longer and didn't want to get in a long line to order more $20(!!) drinks. You could use a QR code to order by table but the wait would've probably also been long. We waited until we saw the yeti who makes an appearance I think every hour or so, which was fun since the actor in the suit made it a point to go up to all guests and interact/take pics, then left within an hour of getting in. Despite the wait, crowd, and expensive drinks, I'm glad we went. Was worth checking out and made for a one-of-a-kind night.

Is this 18 and over my daughter just turned 19?

sorry, 21 & over only

When is karaoke?

Every Wednesday night

What time is good time to be there to get a table?

I'd say 8ish

Are people able to reserve for a group for birthdays?

I went there for my friends birthday and we were told they don't take reservations :( sucks I know. Just get there early enough to save tables and seats.

Does it Normally get packed for a Saturday night around 9 or 10?

No joke and I had to experience it for myself.. on a Saturday you have to get there as soon as they open. It gets so packed that as people leave they let the same number of people in. The security will even tell you to get there early. Really fun… 

Is it only 80's music? Are there hip hop nights?

It is only 80s music however they will have the occasional rock en espanol vs 80s night or Selena tribute nights.

Is there a cover for Saturday nights?

There is a cover charge on fridays and Saturday's that range from $10-$20 depending of VIP is offered or not but usually $10 and cash only for cover.

Is it just English music?

Depends on the dj but usually yes

Is it casual?

Yes, it is very causal. Some people dress up in 80's wear too!… 

What is the entrance fee?

$10

I did not add any seasoning as I truly enjoyed the natural flavoring of the young vegetables. The carrots were mildly sweet, roasted pine nuts were earthy, cherry tomatoes, and sautéed in extra virgin olive oil. It was drizzled with vegan pesto, topped with fresh basil, and as mentioned earlier the pasta was gluten free. Overall, I truly enjoyed the experience and my meal. The city of Claremont is charming and every turn a surprise. I stand by my statement that this city has a way of collecting individuals-- as people who stop by end up staying. I warmly recommend this place and sit outside when the weather is nice. We only part to meet again! Cheerio Tips: Street parking "What you're not changing you're choosing."

In fact, it was thinner than I expected but no complaints here. Anyway, it was absolutely bangin'. Big bold flavors that jump out and is very rich. This pizza satisfied my craving for SURE. The 6x6 sounded a lot bigger on paper, but it was actually pretty small when it came out. It's a good snack for 2 people, but for 1 person it would definitely be filling. Their onion rings were FIRE. Seriously. Some of the best onion rings I've had in a long time. Very well seasoned breading and perfectly cooked. The breading was crispy, but not crunchy. I love craggly, thick onion rings, but sometimes those do a number on the roof of your mouth. These? I could eat 'em all day. Service was great although it did kinda take a little too long for the food to come out, but I guess it was worth the wait. I love the inside of the space too. It's an old building with some character to it. I will definitely be back!
