“Perfection. This tiny Monrovia brewery produces the world's premier beers. The sour crumble seasonals are world-class incredible. Their Starhazer IPA is immaculate. Help yourself to free, fresh popcorn. This place has it all! Go. See. Taste....N' don't forget to tip your tap professional.“

“What's going on everyone? I just wanted to say that the Pour House at Monrovia or Old Town Monrovia is one of my favorite spots. Especially when the business owner Jody and his lovely wife Kristen are there. I have been there four times and it's always a good time. I especially love going during Wednesday night Karaoke night or whenever Kristen hosts a meetup event. So look for me and my Clippers gear on Karaoke night or whenever Kristen hosts a meetup event. Going to try and invite some of my friends as well. Till next time. Take care, stay safe and healthy. Best, David“

“My Dad and I have gone there twice so far and will definitely be returning. The service was perfect. Food and drinks are brought to your bay in a timely manner. Help with the simulator was available throughout the entire reservation. I recommend this place for friends, family, or even individual practice.“

“Stop by here on a Saturday afternoon while scouting for the Kaiser Vision Essentials building that was supposedly located nearby and on top of that, was also an excuse to use the Metro Rail to gauge the walking distance between the station and both of these businesses. The address notes it as being located on Catalina Ave so I was under the impression that the business 'front' would be facing the street like how the other businesses that line up the corner closest to the Colorado Blvd but it's not. It's actually wedged between a take out American BBQ restaurant and an open air parking lot. On the side of the building that belongs to the same BBQ restaurant is a 12x12 tiny ass logo on the building with an arrow pointing you down this non-descript alleyway. This non-descript alleyway looks like any other industrial alleyway: grey concrete, surrounded by open-ring fences, telephone poles, and random ass vehicles parked on the side closest to the open air parking lot. Once you've walked down far enough, there's a small black signage to your left pointing to a non-descriptive black building where there's a small flight of stairs that you walk down and that's T Boyle Tavern. Once inside, you're greeted with this woodsy, rustic inn type of decor. Front of bar is quite literally directly in front of you as you walk down the flight of stairs. There are several wooden high top tables and chairs just before you reach the bar area. TV's line that entire wall plus to the two sides of the establishment that are tuned into sports. Men's restrooms are to the left 'corner' from the front entrance and women's restrooms are to the right 'corner' from the front entrance. There's a small flight of stairs on the women's restrooms side that leads up to presumably a part of the open air parking lot. Well gins are $6, while well whiskeys and well vodkas are $12. To the right of the bar area are some TV's that lists the beers that they have on tap for the week. They ranged between $6-10. They serve regular food, mostly finger foods like burgers, sandwiches, fries, amd chicken fingers. The menu will be given to you when you head up to the front of bar. I ordered a Bourbon Old Fashioned, a Vodka Soda and a Gin and Tonic. Then I ordered a beer whose name I forgot off the TV menu. I think they tasted fine. They can't make the 'fancier' cocktails because they don't have the ingredients for them so if that's your cup of tea, this is not your spot for that. This is more of a beers on tap with some basic cocktails and well drinks. Ambiance. This place feels like one of those spots that you'd take large groups of friends amd family to watch sports and knock back a few brewski's. It was quite dead in the afternoon save for a few elderly family groups present that were apparently relatives of the bartenders. They take credit cards. Enough said. Service. The male bartenders seemed friendly enough. Parking. I don't normally talk about parking but because this place is located in Pasadena, where there's more parking restrictions relative to other areas, you'd want to know where you can park cheaply or free, ideally. Street parking lining up and down Catalina Ave are two hours max between 9AM-6PM. Any time after that should be free. There's the open air parking lot that is not cheap but not DTLA expensive. I didn't catch a good glimpse of the rates unfortunately but I vaguely recall it being stupid expensive for just a few minutes of parking but if you pay the daily rate maximum, it's in the high single digits. All in all, I think it's better to just take the Metro Rail and take the scenic 20-minute walk over to the place than to drive here, at least during the day time. Not too sure how the area would look later at night. I came away with a pretty positive experience of this place and would probably stop by again to try out their food on my next visit.“

“Best seafood and micheladas around .. Must try it ...Yummmooo“

“They have multiple large screens around the dining room and in patio. Lots of fun to watch your favorite team with friends. Since they're owned by North Woods Inn, they serve some of the same foods, including red cabbage and Iceberg lettuce with blue cheese dressing salads and their incredible cheese bread (at a lower price).The price I'm quoting below, per person includes one or two drinks (alcohol).Parking: Never a problem getting a spot, even when they're busy.“

“Love this place. Nice tables. Good people.“

“We had a private party for 60 people booked on 9/17 at 2pm. We booked the restaurant on 9/1 and confirmed multiple times with the manager. The manager boomer was going to arrive at 140 to let us in so we could set up. My family arrived at 140 the day of and there was no one there. We began calling the manager and his phone was turned off. After 25 minutes the cook arrived and was just as confused as we were. He didn't have a key and we now had over 50 people waiting outside with no answers. The cook tried calling the manager, the owner, the bartender... but nothing. It was SO embarrassing and we had no idea what to do. After 55 minutes of waiting and nothing, I called a business right across the street and they were able to accommodate us. The manager didn't call me until 415 to tell me he was on his way to unlock the business. THE AUDACITY to call 2 hours and 35 minutes after he was supposed to SHOW UP. I was and still am mortified from having to tell a group of 60 people the party I planned was at an establishment that is so unprofessional they just didn't show up. Asking all of them to get in their vehicles and go across the street. Thankfully I didn't prepay anything, but they lost out on over $750 and I hope no one ever books a private party with them.“

“Last time I made a stop here was probably before the Covid Pandemic. A recent revisit was comforting: it was exactly like I remembered before . One of the same bartenders was there too and she remembered me . It's a laid back place . Plenty of people palying pool and the digital jukebox( Touchtunes APP) was in ation blaring out music . Patio in the back still relaxing and drin prices still reasonable . Glad to see it's still thriving !Parking: large free parking behind the uilding on the east side“

“Very clean, bright and stylish newly renovated banquet hall ideal for different types of parties and gatherings. Great attention to detail with ample parking across the street.“

“Let me start by saying this is one of my favorite bars the service is phenomenal Chris big Mike Joanna best friend and the new girl Chantel aka Alex is amazing the bar is extremely clean staff is friendly and know what you like for me it’s like a 4.5 out of 5 but 100% will be a 5 if they had twisted tea thank you 626 bar for a good time all the time“

“this is the place where the stars and planets align, in the most epic of ways! the cheapest drinks in SGV mixed with the most epic of company!“

“Super cool little spot! Not much people there when we went because there wasn't a game going on. However we still had fun. We played billiards and darts, and the owners were super friendly and helped us out with how to play. Everyone else there was friendly as well. When we are back in the area we'll be back again!“

“Friendly local bar…cold beer (I’m told) and great atmosphere!“

“We were looking for a dive bar and found this great bar! The name is just how I felt...Full of cheers. Service was great and also got to meet the owners, Raul and wife Carol. The bar had a dj rocking the crowd and people were dancing enjoying the great music and good drinks!“

“I live literally around the corner from this bar my first time stopping in like the atmosphere for the most part the people are very friendly I forget our bartender's name but she was pretty awesome I think I would make this my bar of choice“

“Absolutely love this place. The food was excellent! For appetizers we had the meatballs and bruschetta. For the main dishes we had the vongole, chicken Parmigiano, kids' spaghetti and meatballs and kids' chicken fettuccine Alfredo. For dessert we had the cheesecake. Everything was so delicious! In addition, the staff Ronie and Santos were so kind, professional, friendly and attentive. Thank you for making this experience phenomenal.“

“For just a dark bar with a pool table and two tv’s, this place is great. It’s the bartender that sets the perfect mood - she’s warm and attentive. The place is quiet and chill. Drinks are cheap. More women than men and I was comfortable being alone for a beer and baseball. Parking in back. Nice place!“

“$90 for 3 people for lunch and zero alcohol is pretty steep for a chain restaurant, but we all enjoyed our meals. The cheese fries were always a go-to there, and they've actually improved. The onion rings were surprisingly good. One of the servers coughed on us without covering her mouth, but I'm not going to judge a restaurant by one person's grossness. The worst thing though is how small the sides of condiments are. If you want extra mayonnaise for your burger you're probably going to have to ask three times for those little thimbles that they give you. Were talking 1 ketchup packet's worth of ranch per metal thingie. I'm sure some overpaid corporate employee pitched this as a way for them to save money, but they had to buy the little metal thingies, and they're just going to have to wash 8x as many of those as they normally would have. Annoying. But, the food was very good, the waitress was friendly and adorable, and the service was very very fast. We'll be going there again soon I'm sure.“

“I've been coming here for over 8yrs.... Unfortunately I went yesterday 12/11/23 and I ended up getting food poisoning, the service was terrible and you have nothing but a bunch of drunk idiots fighting at the bar. Even the owner got a bloody eye one time I was there. This place can be great just needs a lot, a lot of work with service food and the atmosphere plus security. I got the pasta with buffalo chicken. That's what got me sick.“

“Fun,chill atmosphere. Great DJ, drinks on point“

“Always great to come back and visit this place. Food was awesome and the staff was nice. Food came but the drinks never came out, and they never came back to ask if anything else was needed like to go box's or a quick greet making sure the food was how it's suppose to be. other then that everything was awesome.“

“First time to this Applebee's and really enjoyed the service and food there. Although having to wait for the long wait time to get inside overall still worth it! Manager and hostesses were awesome and able to accommodate us while waiting! Able to get delicious food at an affordable price! I recommend the adios drink and the 2 plates for $26 where you can start off with one app and 2 entrees for a reasonable price! Amado made our night a memorable experience! Props to him for his energy and service!“

“My kids and I love coming here, their boneless and bone in wings are so delicious! Their Buffalo sauce is just right!! I get my usual steak w/ parmesian cheese and shrimp dinner, so delicious, I order it all the time!! Always great service even if we just sit at the bar with the hubby, always a great atmosphere with kids or no kids! It's our Go to place for a very long time now! Thank you for the great service and great food!“

“service is Awsome! drinks are top notch!“

“Lisa and Larry Belleville are super friendly!“

“Fun bar. Great drinks and great prices. I read comments that some people think it’s a racist bar, believe me, it isn’t. All are welcome. No predujices here.“

“Their spicy margaritas and Micheladas here are bomb. Comes in huge mug and goblet glass. We also ordered carnitas tacos, Al pastor tacos, pozole, fish, cheese burger & fries sprinkle with tajin. All was so good! Their fries was cut in skinny pieces that gives that extra crunch. My son loved it. The fish was delicious, light and fresh. Chips and salsa also was delicious. All food came in big servings. Environment is good, however, the interior lighting could be brighter. Overall, good dining experience for me and my family.“

“Cool dive bar. They play banda and other Hispanic music. First time here and everyone was so welcoming and the staff gave great customer service. They have only beer but have a variety. Cash only, but they do have a ATM in bar.. Like I said cool bar to enjoy a few beers. I'd come back..“

“I LOVE, love this place. I started coming to look at the old signage and kept coming back because Kim (and most of the other bartenders) were so kind to me a few summers ago when I would come in for the AC, the wifi (RIP), and to pretend that I was the scientist version of Charles Bukowski :) It's so far from a normal bar because there are amazing patio chairs, an uninterrupted view of the mountains abutting Lake Ave, and a historical memory of the Altadena of yesterday. There is also a little lending library (but please don't take the good books home because I like looking at them). I've stopped in there every day at this point so I know which days I'm welcome and which ones still have old holdovers from a time when my kind wouldn't be welcomed in a place like this. I'm just glad that the owners Chis and his wife and the people they've hired don't behave like this. They want you to feel like this is your own little production of "Cheers" where everybody knows your name. As long as you are also respectful and pay your bill. Not sure how much longer I'll be coming here but I wanted to leave a glowing review at some point because I've made some lasting friendships here. Thanks! xx ash P.S. Don't go on Sunday or Wed afternoon (or on Monday if Kim isn't working - she's a protector) if you look and dress like a little skater punk or have loc'd hair, or if you're alone and female embodied, you're better off going next door to ACE (grab a nice seltzer or topo chico and chat with Jacob) or to Unincorporated Coffee Shop/Roasters at the corner of Lincoln & Altadena Drive, until the sun sets then you can head to the Rancho because the crown will change around 5:30/6pm in the Winter. Saturday's get busy but I rarely go on Friday or Sat because I'd rather hang with my actual friends. If you like pool or darts you can do that here. If you want to watch a big game, it's usually on. Most customers are respectful, but there are a lot who are not, so just keep your eyes and ears open if you're alone. Ladies (and some men), get some bear spray or an expandable self-defense baton if you're walking to your car alone after leaving the bar at night. I also have a carbon fibre cross-bow because you never know what people can get up to if they're gooonnne off the Titos. Anyway, I hope Chris lets me design a t-shirt or hoodie for the bar one day!“

“Drove from DTLA to Covina just for Taco Tuesday. Love the Club Theme Vibe the music was Amazing. The food and Drinks out of this World.“

“Very courteous staff. Willing to accommodate your request as much as possible.“

“Well Hello to the person that may be reading this review.! you might drive right past this place if you live in the area some may think it's just a Bar only but it's not it's also a Restaurant too and believe it or not the Food Is Amazing, might put you to shock. I had the Philly Cheese Steak with homemade Fries with that homemade Aioli Sauce to dip my fries with, oh! man so good also try out their Nachos and them Wings Mango Habanero bomb also Lemon Pepper much more food I need to try. The Staff is very friendly and welcoming haven't had any issues they do sell alcohol so if your not to big of a fan on beer they have liquor you can get your mix drinks on. They have TVs music and certain days they have a live Band playing. So maybe one day swing by and give it a shot, don't want to miss out.“
