Cool spot to hang out with friends. Pizza was good. Pretty dark inside lots of sports in the tv. Pool table is always fun

Came on a Sunday to watch football. Vibes were good, people watching games but everything else is a let down. The food is mediocre, we got nachos with stale chips and the cheese had no flavor. The server seemed like she had no help and was overwhelmed. We won’t likely be back.

Great atmosphere, and the service was top notch. Many TVs all playing different options, an indoor bus, pool tables, and some of the best chili cheese fries I've ever had. Absolutely will be coming back

Its okay. Its load and hectic, and they were understaffed and the staff had a hard time keeping it. The whole vibe is also a mess.

One of my absolute favorite spots! This place has so much to offer with three floors of fun, including a tiki room with karaoke and a full billiards room. The atmosphere is lively and unique, the food and drinks always hit the spot, and there’s never a dull moment here. Whether you’re hanging out with friends, shooting pool, or singing your heart out, Barney’s Beanery in Pasadena is the perfect place to kick back and have a great time.

The food is solid pub fare. A Great atmosphere for such, and sporting events
An absolute vibe. This location has 3 floors and something for everyone.
The basement is a tiki themed bar often featuring karaoke. The main floor is a typical Barney’s theme with plenty of vintage decor, a good selection of draft beers and a DJ on weekends. The upstairs has at least 10 pool tables, likely more and a hidden out door patio, perfect to grab some fresh air and chat with friends.
While there are a lot of seating options, I would suggest going early to snag a table for the night.
We waited in a short line, no more than 5 minutes at 11:30pm on a Friday night. There was a $5 cover charge (can be paid cash, card or tap)

After three years of loyal Thursdays at our usual bar and restaurant, a change in management left it lackluster, prompting our group of Gen Xers and Boomers to seek a new spot. We landed at Barney's Beanery, and here’s how it went.
The vibe hits you right at the door—friendly security welcomes you into a lively, hip bar area. The ceiling is decked out with license plates from across the U.S., string lights add a cozy glow, and tables are adorned with photos of 60s and 70s bands and singers. The crowd skews younger, mostly 20- and 30-somethings, but the music, a mix of 70s classics to current Top 40, bridges the gap nicely. On Thursdays, they offer karaoke downstairs and pool tables upstairs, which adds to the fun.
Seating was our first hurdle. Our group, typically 8 to 12 strong, struggled to find a table, as most are set for four. The wait staff, however, was fantastic—especially our server, Peter P., who went above and beyond to secure a table that worked for us. His friendliness and attentiveness set the tone for a great experience.
The menu impressed us. The beer selection is stellar, and the food options are surprisingly robust for a bar and the kitchen is open until midnight. They serve breakfast all day, so several in our group opted for eggs Benedict and bagel sandwiches, while another ordered fish and chips. I went for the Juicy Burger, stuffed with cheese, paired with crispy, well-seasoned fries. The food exceeded our expectations—the burger was phenomenal, and those fries alone are worth a return visit. The only menu letdown was the limited wine selection, which could use a bit more variety.
We hit one snag: the kitchen seemed to lose our fish and chips order. Peter was quick to sort it out, ensuring it arrived promptly, which we appreciated. The staff’s overall warmth and hustle, especially Peter’s, made the night feel special.
The only real downside is the seating. With tables mostly capped at four, it’s tough for a larger group like ours to settle in comfortably for our usual eat-drink-and-chat routine. Still, Barney’s Beanery delivered a great experience, and I’d highly recommend it for its atmosphere, food, and stellar service—just maybe not for big groups.

Groups of people in their 20s looking for a fun night out flock to this place after dark. It's strange. Lots of average music and average people
