Retro Junkie

First time visiting Retro Junkie since it was WPLJs back when I still drank alcohol, now over ten years. My buddy and gym partner told me about the emo cover band and I had to check it out. Brought my fiance and we had a fun evening. We played pool for a few games. People started showing up. And then the band started to play. They played so many great songs and were truly putting on a performance. There were tacos outside and wouldn't you know it they didn't charge for water. I'm going to have to keep my eye on this place to see about future shows.

place used to be really fun... now theyre charging $20 cover fees when the Bar is filled with 40+ crowds..... no hate to our older folks. just not the place to charge a $20 cover fee when everywhere else in the area is free entry. especially for ladies! not getting my attendance again thats for sure lol.

Visiting my sister to celebrate her husband's birthday and the performance was a Prince cover band that was Great, We danced & Drinks were good, security, door host & Waitress so Sweet (Natalie) who checked on us all night in reserved seating. I didn't eat but heard the taco truck in the back is pretty good, will try nxt time. I had a ball!!!

Retro Junkie is a blast on a Thursday night. Live music, great energy, and a fun retro vibe that keeps the crowd going. Drinks are solid and the atmosphere is exactly what you’re looking for. Definitely coming back.’

I think their recent reviews speak for themselves. We were denied entry by Vinny the head of security who has clearly let the title get to his bald head. We arrived with a seltzer in hand and he told us we could not have it on their property so we took it back to our car 2 blocks down. We came back and he denied us entry because we didn’t follow his "order" to throw it away. He never told us that. He then proceeded to say we were going to cost him his liquor license, at the time there was plenty of other men drinking in their actual lot out of their trunks with beer cans. My friends and I were all brown and didn’t look like the demographic that was in the building. Even his mate was questioning why he was doing this. Absolutely horrible establishment, but what more can you expect from a location in Walnut Creek. Anyways, check out Albany, ca for better, more welcoming environments.

All those people and one toilet. Plus $25 cover charge, if you like very loud retro music and you like to stand, have at it. Limited parking on busy nights.

Have seen a few shows here (pharcyde was killer) and think its a solid spot. Ive only been for shows, buts always been friendly with a nice atmosphere. All the staff have been good people and good at thier jobs.
