Had a great time listening to retro music and dancing. Seating space is limited. No food offered only drinks hence the 3 stars but we were able to have food delivered. Cocktails were decently priced and service was great. Cover charge was $30 at the door to listen to the bands.
Been here about 4 times and honestly the tribute bands have all been quite impressive & fun. We’ve seen tribute bands to The Smiths, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, De Peche Mode, Alice In Chains here. We also have noticed that the audience here are generally unusually friendly. We’ve seen a few regulars while here & folks are open to chat, vibe in the music, really fun which is a welcome change from some unwelcoming “ too cool” crowds in other joints. Parking was easy in the back, drink prices are reasonable, there are places to sit & chill and some cool video & pinball games too. When patio is open there’s been food trucks - this last visit they didn’t have any -but did allow us to DoorDash our own food. We had lots of Palomas & beers while listening to live music - great time!
I have been to retro junkie several times for the Super Bowl. It was one of the best experiences and all of Walnut creek with their massive Jumbotron and party and DJ. I’ve also been there for Halloween where they do really cool festive events and everyone dresses up. Richard junkie isn’t on the main strip of bars and restaurants, but it is a place to go to for more of a destination on events that they hold and it is always busy there on weekends.
So much fun! Venue has something for everyone. 2 stages, indoor and outdoor. Video games and pool tables. Plenty of bathrooms. Staff was very friendly. We were in a reserved booth which was great because we didn't need to arrive early to grab a seat. Once the main (indoor) stage show starts everyone floods in to the dance floor in front of the stage. This is GA, standing room only. However, then your view from the reserved booth becomes completely obstructed. So if you are in the reserved sections, you'll have plenty of room and seats but you really will only hear the music. Once the live music ends, the dj starts. DJ was really good the night we were there. Took a star off because the drinks were terrible. Everything we ordered was super sweet and contained very little alcohol. Stick to beer I guess. Also it is very hot inside. Dress appropriately. Light clothing.
I’ve visited this place years ago, but was so happy to see the updates since the pandemic. The beer garden is an open air haven! They show movies outdoors with a crisp & clear screen with a booming sound system. The bartender staff were friendly and made great 🍹 cocktails. The night I went they were serving street tacos, which were delicious. I’ll definitely go back.
