One of my favorite spots downtown! Good service, love the loaded tots. Free games and fun!
Really fun bar in downtown Sanford. Great for games, with arcade games and board games, cornhole, skee ball etc all there. They show lots of sports including soccer and the NFL and they now serve food with a very good pizza on the menu. Theres a back yard with outdoor seating and it is very dog / pet friendly. Great drinks selection with craft beer, popular beer, cocktails, shots, wine and well drinks available. Good for parties, groups, karaoke, live music, limo cycle groups and even good for kids!
Throwbacks has always been my favorite go to bar since its opening. However, last night for the first time, my experience was less than satisfying. Their new bartender Jenica was so drunk she tried to fight my friend, fell behind the bar, and was completely sloppy. When I went to close, my tab was completely wrong and she was argumentative when I tried to explain it wasnt correct. I will no longer be going up there on nights she works. Hopefully they will find a replacement for her quickly because shes tarnishing their establishment.
We were picking up my son from the airport and decided to take a ride downtown Sanford and found this great place. Even though it was under construction, they were able to whip up some tasty treats for us. The pizza is yummy. We hope to get back again and again.
Fun place. Great service and prices. Definitely would recommend.
Outstanding as always. Excellent Irish pub for locals
The bartender was so nice the place was cool
Great retro bar with 80s / 90s music, retro video games, and the staff is awesome!
The food is much better than expected, have had three items and they have all been amazing. Staff is very welcoming and atmosphere is very relaxed and fun.
Throwbacks is a fun place with all kinds of games from the last several decades. The beer selection is solid and they have plenty of liquor and wine for other tastes. I didnt try it but the food coming out smelled great. Ill be making plans to visit again.
Fun place to hang out. Staff is super friendly!
Good classic arcade games...
Great bar. Totally loved all the 80s and 90s stuff. Bartenders rock and food was great. Queso was awesome.
Love this place! Bring the kids because there are a ton of FREE games for them to enjoy while you have a beer
Fun place. We love skeeball and the drinks are good to. Its like going back to the 70s with lots of games to entertain you
Nice atmosphere friendly bar tenders
Layed back
Super fun, low-key atmosphere. Fun games to play, fun bartender, and a fun time to be had. Its a great local place to chill and I will definitely be going again
Great staff! Lots of games to choose from. Good food. Outdoor patio for smokers. What more could you all for?
Great atmosphere, great drinks and food.
Our first time in we meet the best bartender that amazed us! He was fast and very friendly! Best bar ever! We highly recommend this bar and most of all Nick! Thanks Nick for the great drinks and fun night!
Mmm, the ladies! Lol
Fun times playing adult sized games! Awesome bartender!
Friendly place. Unique for all of the old video games- and new ones too. Great place to go if you want to do more than just sit there and drink. Havent tried the food, but they have a good selection of comfort food favorites.
Great atmosphere, amazing owners and some games I havent seen in years.....will be going more and more. Highly recommend!!!
Beer, beer...more beer please.
Best local bar, friendly staff, welcoming environment, and the BEST PIZZA IN SANFORD!!
Great place!You’ll love the atmosphere, food and drinks.I went with my wife for the Champions league final last month and had a great time. It felt like a big party at a friends house.It was great meeting the owners and their dog at bar!Again, you’ll love the atmosphere!Going tonight for the USA vs Mexico game.
A small bar with BIG 70s games to play!
Great bar, food tastes really good after midnight.... The music sometimes is good l and some times is not.
Great drinks! Paper straws are a classy touch.
Good atmosphere good wings
Throwbacks is a great bar with great video games, I never got to spend a couple hours at a bar its a fun way to spend a couple hours
Last night was the first time I was in this bar an the bartender jenika was drunk at 11 also very rude an disrespectful to my family will not be returning hopefully they can find some more professional bartenders an management can have a talk with the staff.
One of the best bars Ive ever been to. Marc is an icon and Davis and Robby are awesome tenders. Visit and start a convo with the staff. You wont regret it.
Throwbacks is an amazing establishment. That has some of the best food for any bar in town. Mark is the most caring and loving person you will ever meet. He takes his time with every person. Gives them the best service he possibly can. Mark will never let you down. David the main guy there makes sure that everyone is taken care of. So go to throwbacks and get a beer.
Love this place so much fun
Great dive bar
Excellent pizza that went well with pitchers of beer late in to the night
Fun ole time games. Great appetizers and cold drinks.
The bar itself is decent, but theres a couple of issues that made the place uninviting, but each issue could easily be addressed and gives the whole location a lot of potential.Pros:Centrally located in Sanfords bar districtFast serviceExcellent prices on foodFood portions are largePlenty of tabletop games to playOutdoor seating in back for smokersCons:First, the foot rest bar was loose from improper installation which made sitting at the bar for some offputting.Second, the 2x4 jumbo jenga game, while fun, is too big for the indoor tables. It makes a deafening crash when toppled, and the size occupies an entire bench table.Third, the music was loud, too loud, even for an active bar. The bartender kept turning the volume up to the point where bar patrons sitting next to each other had to scream to hear each other.Fourth, the bar staff only consisted of two people; The bartender, and the kitchen cook. While service was fast once helped, they could only attend to one person at a time.Fifth, the food was meh.Last, the skeeball lanes take up too much room and cause a major congestion point when trying to move about the back half of the bar.Suggested fixes:Hire extra staff to wait on patrons when busy.Move space consuming gamesLimit music volume to customer requestsImprove food quality control
Loved this place!! The Irish owners were awesome to talk to and they were down to earth!! Atmosphere was fun!
Love this place!
Fun time!! Great DJ and quesadillas!!!
Rob (owner) he is an amazing lovable person. Very pleasant person to speak to makes us feel comfortable all the time we go. The bartender Mark is a funny and always happy man. No matter what you maybe going through he will make you laugh while you are there. I highly recommend this place to everyone I know. Their menu is amazing as well mostly recommended would be their pizza, sweet corn nuggets, sweet rajili wings, loaded tater tots, and also the quesadilla. Its a wonderful place to have a couple of drinks, food and have fun playing all the games that we used to play as kids. Keep up the great work guys.
A great place to hang out with or without friends. Also great place for food
It was ok, staff were friendly selection not great stopped by as part of a pub crawl
Great place and great pizza
Great place for winding down
Came here at 1 PM on a Saturday and the door was locked. Their hours say theyre open both at the restaurant and on Google. This is the second time Ive gotten here at this time and the door was locked. Really should go about updating their hours.
Great bartender, and a very fun open mic on Thursday.
