14 Best Pubs near Sierra Madre

“purposely came due to the nostalgic aspect of it being in the movie Halloween III. super cool vintage vibe just like from the Tom Atkins scene in the movie. great beers on tap and clean bathroom. bartender had a very nice British accent and was very accommodating. a buddy of mine was with me and we got to hang out with some of the bar regulars. they shared stories about the area and gave us some real nice recommendations in regards to film locations. we took some pics with the bartender and regulars before making our way to the famous church from the movie THE FOG. definitely stop by and grab some drinks if you're in the area !!“

“This is the spot honestly. Kind of a mix of a dive bar and locals bar. The service was great though and the lady that served us (Lisa) was hilarious and really nice. Parking is kind of hard to find around Sierra Madre but there's a lot with plenty of parking around the corner. I had a triple ipa that was tasty and easily drinkable. Definitely want to come back when they have happy hour!“

“Hubby and I usually go to the Van Nuys location but we’ve been anxiously awaiting for this one to open. It didn’t disappoint. Hubby had the Murrieta Milkshake and I had the Orange Shandy. Their Caesar salad and Hot Italian Pizza was delicious. So happy this one’s in our neighborhood. Hope they rock it out of the park!“

“Had a late solo lunch at 38 Degrees last Monday! The long day I had and beautiful afternoon sunshine was practically yelling at me to go outside and skate haha, so I decided to mob down the street to 38 Degrees for a burger. I didn't get a burger though haha. I had the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich instead because the "habanero-orange reduction" caught my eye. The sandwich I got was HUGE. I had to press the sando down a bit. The sandwich was solid but to my surprise, not spicy at all. It was more sweet and savory. Flavor profile gave me Hawaiian vibes and I liked that! The fries were delicious, but I wish the sizes were longer and more consistent. A lot of my fries were short little nubs. I'm torn because I LOVE house-made fries... but I also love the consistency, shape, and crispiness of frozen fries. The true star of the show, was the side of aioli. MAN, this stuff was so good, I'm dedicating my Sunday morning to replicating that sauce. Their aioli is made in house and VERY garlicky (which I love). Overall, had a great experience at 38 Degrees last Monday. The servers were super friendly and attentive! We had a conversation about ADUs and I always appreciate Humans being Humans. Thanks for the talk fellas.“

“Some unique flavors and some familiar. Customer service at the bar is unparalleled, like the all-day happy hour pricing. I’m very happy when I come to this place, regardless of what I order.“

“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.“

“Great little place. I didn't eat here, but they do offer pizza, bagged chips, and specials. No hard liquor. Only beer, and wine. Cute patio outside for you smokers.Large selection of beverages. Gale, owner, is funny and hospitable. She is also very knowledgeable about the beverages she serves. ?“

“Always a good time with excellent staff and tasty food.“

“Great live music club and bar.“

“Good selection of beer. Tasty food and excellent service.“

“STEPH JUDGEMENT: A casual, comfortable bar with weekend happy hour FTW! We'd been to the Blind Donkey in downtown Long Beach a few times but had no idea there were other locations. We'd come out of an art show at the Armory nearby and wanted to grab a drink and a snack in the area before heading back. While wandering around, I happened to spot their sign down a side street and we decided to investigate. The ambiance was open and inviting, with many windows letting in the sunshine--very different from the Long Beach location, which is cool but underground. There were a bunch of fun and interesting signs and items on the walls, and they also had a parklet outside. It was fairly busy on a Sunday afternoon--the people perhaps drawn in by their weekend Happy Hour, but their prices seemed reasonable overall anyway. We decided to sit at the bar and I got an old fashioned and the hubby a whiskey sour, and we decided to share a grilled cheese sandwich. Everything was excellent, especially the sandwich, which was pressed panini-style and served with pickle chips that were an unexpected and awesome accompaniment--the little zing of acid really livened up the cheese and bread. The bartenders were cool, and it was a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We wouldn't hesitate to return the next time we're in the area.“

“the best service you'd ever get in a small bar. love them!“

“Yecxy was the BEST server she was so helpful and gave the best recommendations! the restaurant was amazing and i couldn't recommend more! the pineapple ale was amazing and they offer testers before you have a drink to make sure you like it! Go to this restaurant! Great vibe, amazing food, great music!“

“I am leaving this review mostly to respond to a previous review posted by Salma. I attended the Tottenham v Chelsea game too. It was my first time at the Greyhound. I sat at the bar as it was the only seat available. I witnessed everything she experienced and posted about. I, however, have a different perspective and would not tag the bar with a horrible review. The fact of the matter is this is a dedicated Tottenham bar. I am a regular at a dedicated Steeler bar where no one is allowed to enter wearing another team's colors when the Steelers are playing. You can wear neutral colors and cheer for the opposing team, but you will be vastly outnumbered and, people who cheer for other teams, do so quietly knowing the "rules." I can't imagine that anyone cheering for another team would experience the treatment Salma described at the Steeler bar I go to. But, who in their right mind would go to a dedicated Raider bar and loudly cheer for the Chiefs especially when the opposition is winning? The bar is loud. It is too crowded. Many of the fans are obnoxious, but the food is good, the team spirit is off the charts, and the staff do the best they can. I mean, what else do you expect at a premier league game? I will return tomorrow for the game against Nottingham.“
