“I am not a big fan of mariscos. This is one of the best mariscos spots I actually enjoy. I highly recommend the shrimp and fish tacos, the camarones dinamitas, camarones de cucarachas, Coctel de Camaron, the aguachiles is actually one of the best sauces I've actually tasted, not to mention there other Mexican dishes they have on the menu. I also rented the hall for events and the menu for their catering services are good as well and the hostility from dining in and renting the hall has been phenomenal. Anyone wanting to eat good mariscos I highly recommend this place“

“Apologies for not taking any photos but trust me when I say that the owner really cares about the dishes he puts out. As a sushi chef, he is a kind man who cares about the opinions of his customers. My sister and I decided to try the place out and we're pleasantly surprised by the kindness and the taste of the food.As for food, we ordered some sushi rolls, sashimi, and sashimi salad. The salad was my sister's favorite dish since the veggies paired well with the fatty taste of the fish. So fresh and lovely. A good balance of fish to salad. The dressing is what made it amazing for me. Gently drizzled with a sweet yet salty flavor made the dish really come together. As sushi goers we typically aren't fond of sashimi, usually when we go to sushi places, it has an odd aftertaste. But not this time. The sweet sauce made the tender fish melt into my mouth! I couldn't get enough of it. (I just kept eating and forgot to take pictures!) The sushi rolls were also delicious! Just enough to make you full and want to come back for more.What was best about this place really was the owner speaking with us. Initially when we walked in, there was no one to greet us and hardly anyone inside. So we thought the restaurant was closed. Although we saw an employee there so luckily we were able to be seated. After eating, the chef/owner came up to us to ask us a couple questions about the food and our experiences with Japanese dishes. We had a long discussion and ended up with more than just a happy meal, but with a good experience.The reason for this being 4 stars is because we did have to search for a host to seat us. And the selection menu didn't differentiate than many other sushi places. We did talk with the owner and gave him some ideas of how this could change so more clientele would stop by.(Also the name of this restaurant has changed. They only serve sushi and sashimi now, there's no BBQ anymore)“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Great neighborhood hangout, as the name implies. Inside there’s a cool cocktail bar, but my favorite is the dog-friendly outdoor patio, a chill spot to hang out with your friends, dog, and - yes - neighbors.

Outside is a map showing the destruction of the Eaton fire. It’s sobering and sad, but I’m glad it’s here. Thank you.“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

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

“Good enough for Richard Pryor, good enough for me!“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“The is my favorite place in Uptown the beer is always amazing but most of all it's the staff. Jess, Lee, Chantel and especially Amber always make my experience exceptional. Whittier wouldn't be the same without this crew. Cheers!“

“Altadena Ale & Wine House is easily one of the best spots in Altadena. The staff know their wine inside and out and love helping you discover something new. They’re welcoming, laid-back, and create an atmosphere that feels more like hanging out with friends than just grabbing a drink. With a great wine list, solid beer and food selection, and a classic old-school vibe, this place is a must-stop. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Cool place to hang in Old Town Pasadena. Live music and a chill atmosphere.“

“I dont know what you are looking for when you get the cheapest beers in town and the least expensive billiards game at the same time....but just in case those were the two things you sought out tonight....this would be the place. People come and go and the regulars are awesome welcoming and understanding. What else can I say about a place????“

“Their Old Fashion is delicious and paper plane as well. I love that it isn't extremely loud and the music is a great mix that always compliments the ambiance. You need a password to get in, but that shouldn't be a problem. Screw Flanders.“

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

“Very cool dive bar with good value pricing on food and drink!“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

“ITS A REALLY COOL, CHILL SPOT TO HAVE A FEW BEERS AT. THE BARTENDER LADY IS THE BEST. SHE IS ON TOP OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE HAS TO DO. MY BROTHER AND WILL GO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“Great Place With A Complimenting Bartender Who Knows What He's Doing And Communicative. The Atmosphere Is Perfect With So Many Different Types Of People Who Go Here And All Are Very Friendly And Vibrant.

Good Sitting Areas But It Could Get Crowded Quick. Also Has A Jukebox & 2 Pool tables. This Is A Very Warming Cozy Chill Spot.“

“Love neighborhood bars, and this one was no exception. I did not rate the food because we didn’t eat and I’m not sure if they have food or not. The drinks were great, the bar is lively and there was a DJ. Super fun vibes and great crowd. Reminds me of the pre Covid days. Everyone was friendly and talkative, buying drinks for each other with no drama. I went here on a whim with my friend after the Beyond the Grave pop up bar. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but places like this are my favorite. I will definitely be back! The bartender made a perfect Midori sour, which is actually one of those cocktails that seems easy to make, but can be easily unbalanced. Definitely some pool sharks which made for a good viewing“

“buen ambiente .tranquilo lugar .amables y limpio“

“We were able to catch the game!“

“Fun, Great drinks, friendly bartenders, and Friday Night Karaoke!“

“Love it! Happy hour house cocktails we're good and even after happy hour was over drink prices are very reasonable. The crowd was awesome the bartenders were super nice and fun. The karaoke guy and girl were superb at what they do. I learned they do karaoke 7 days a week. Yeah, I'll be there every Saturday for sure! ?“

“As a dive bar kinda guy, this place really resonates with me. Love that the pours are good (Sara at least) and cheap - $5 for a well whiskey sour or a full pour of wine, $7 for call whiskey rocks. Cash only which is OK, just know ahead of time. And went there last night with my daughter for a quick drink before dinner - loud, obnoxious drunk group of sketchy dudes in the booth beside us. Lots of cussing and vulgarity which is fine with me but it was loud enough to be distracting and the bartender didn't really do or say anything to them, which may have been uncomfortable and awkward so I get it.“

“We have dined here a couple of times when we come back to visit family. We are never disappointed. The food is quite good. Portions are on the larger size, so expect to have leftovers to bring home (or just go nuts and indulge).

However, the dinning room is comparatively small and not intimate. That isn't that big of a deal, but you should be aware of it going in. I would recommend a reservation if dining later in the evening. If you arrive earlier, they can usually seat you.

Parking is on the street (but that is par for the course in Sierra Madre), but be prepared to have to drive around a little to find a spot.

The only negative was on our last visit. The front of house was clearly understaffed. The one waiter was doing double duty as the bar tender. So, speed of service was not on the menu.

A solid choice for dining and will we will undoubtedly visit again.“

“This place has been my second home for 30 yrs the staff has been first rate the owner is the best owner ive had the experience of knowing. So get there and have a drimk you'll be glad.yooi did“

“This place is somewhat outdated, however even with that being said, it's a nice atmosphere. Our waitress Sylvia was extremely attentive. She always had a smile! We never had to wait very long for our drinks or dinner. Bathrooms were very clean?

We came here for karaoke and dinner. A fun time was had!!?“

“Just the right pace and the bar tender was beautiful, she treated us like old friends, with a great knowledge of the drinks.“

“Came hungry, came thirsty, and came in need of a good spot to let my creativity flow. This is it. This place has it all. The ambiance gets you set to sit, relax, and unwind. The drinks are on point, delicious and well served. The service and welcoming environment is just the beginning. Food is gourmet, lighting is perfect, service is amazing, and the rest; well, come and find out for yourself. Great experience. I'll definitely be a returning visitor.“

“I was there for a 30 yr old birthday with a friend and it was a nice atmosphere Kareoke was good lots of nice voices ( I can make a choir out of them) LOL. All in all it good. But I left early cause I don't like staying out to late so 10ish was a good time to go home.“

“It’s a safe and enjoyable place to relax and have a great time.“

“I can't begin to say enough Good Things about the La Habra Lodge, especially two outstanding Members and Good Friends of Mine, Steve Corning and Morris Hyatt these fine Gentle truly exemplify all the Fine Folks of the La Habra Lodge. Nick Randell Mira Mesa Lodge 2108.“

“I hadn't been to this location in about 10 years. Back then it was a total dive bar with "fichera" girls. This time I experienced a fairly nice bar while I watched both the Canelo vs. GGG Trilogy boxing match and the Dodgers vs. Giants baseball game simultaneously. The waitresses and bartenders were very nice. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for watching future sports events. Otherwise, parking for this location isn't easy to come by and it's not a pick up joint. The clientele was pretty much exclusively middle aged Mexican men.“

“Cute place, good food, great atmosphere. Dodgers fans and games!“

“Comedy night is a blast on Sundays. I’ve been here twice now and I think it’s a great little club/bar“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“One of the best healthy fun bars. They have it all, a variety of cold beers available to everyone, live DJ, shows, beautiful waitresses in an excellent location. Karaoke every night with no entrance fee. The owner, an excellent person who invites you to drink and enjoy a good party. Visit them and check it out.“

“Ricos y deliciosos pozoles Verdes ,Blanco y rojo.“

“lemme tell ya 'bout Kelly's Tavern. Shiiiit, them drinks was cold, that Bloody Mary was fire, and dem bartenders? Lawd have mercy, they was fine as hell.
I went in for a lil' somethin' somethin', and lemme tell ya, I almost forgot why I came in the first place. I was too busy watchin' them mix dem drinks. It was like a magic show, but instead of rabbits, they were pullin' out these incredible cocktails.
Let's just say I left there feelin' good, both inside and out.“

“Cool dive bar hidden away from the trendy beaten path. Cheapest drinks in town. Strongest drinks in town. Don’t believe me, try it out. You’ll have found your new watering hole! 3 big TVs 2 diamond pool tables 2 dart boards. Open 365 7a-2a every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible. Has a lowered section of the bar just for handicapped. Bathrooms are also wheelchair accessible. I spent 8 months in a wheelchair and was accommodated excellently“

“Traditional Taiwanese dishes served in a banquet setting. That’s a first - I have only seen Taiwanese food served in casual restaurants and cafes.

Menu is expansive and every dish we ordered tasted authentic. Best stinky tofu I’ve had outside of Taiwan.“

“Coldest beer in town , good looking bar tenders and good food. what's best of all, its in La Habra“

“GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT GOOD BARTENDERS GREAT PRICES $$ AND THE OWNER IS PART OF THE CREW MAKING YOU FEEL WELCOME STOP IN AND HAVE A COLD BEER FOR THE DODGER GAME“

“nice place to have a cold one“

“Best broasted chicken and large portions. Delicious Italian food“

“This den has reasonable estimating and clean environmental factors. My children significantly delighted in and wanted to play there. Additionally, the staff was extremely obliging, cautious to my children, and agreeable. In the long run, I loved everything out there. It was awesome and meriting to be appraised a 5-stars. We would visit again soon!“
