29 Best Cocktail Bars in Pasadena

“Great music!!!! Great hang!!!!“

“This is a cocktail bar but don't be fooled. My favorite drink is the duck fat hibiki, it's absolutely amazing. It blew every other cocktail out of the water. It might cost more and it might not look the prettiest but trust me it is delicious. They are going to discontinue it due to lack of people ordering but don't just go for the trendy or Instagram worthy drinks, it might just be a regular looking old fashion but it might just be the best old fashion I've ever had.“

“Our waitress Genevieve was extremely nice and knowledgeable!! Great ambiance! Food n drinks! Definitely coming back !“

“Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be coming back. We got Citrus Salad, Carne en su Jugo & Carnitas Wow, just Wow!!!!!“

“We drive 35 miles at least three times a month to eat here. We love Home State and as a Native Texan, I can attest that their queso is the real deal!!! I just wish they'd open one in Claremont, CA!!! The Don't Mess With Texas is my favorite taco and my husband loves the brisket taco. Everything is amazing though!!!“

“Spicy jalapeño cocktail 🍸💕“

“Valentine’s Day dinner is typically one of the busiest and most chaotic nights for any restaurant but I was genuinely impressed by how hard the staff worked to accommodate everyone. I’ll definitely be returning on a less hectic night to fully enjoy the experience.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“I came here on a packed Sat night. The place was dim and spacious. I loved the setup; ordering on the electronic pad reminded me of Korea!
I tried the chicken gizzards with soju. The gizzards were so good! I loved how they were prepared. The service was good, too.“

“I’ve been 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Service and food is fantastic! Highly recommend Smitty’s Grill.“

“Dog, burgers, drinks and a Tuesday run club, what more do you need!“

“Honestly it's nice. The bar itself is a little dim. They have corndogs! Lol small menu but good bar food. Bartenders are nice and friendly. I would probably put another TV at the bar but thats just me. Its a hidden gem that didn't even know existed. Cheers 🍻“

“This is my second time at Pez Coastal Kitchen and it was absolutely delicious! The quality of ingredients is incredibly fresh and each dish I've ordered has left me pleasantly surprised by the unique combination of flavors. All of the staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and gave great recommendations. Brett is a phenomenal chef and owner! Will be returning, I'm happy I live so close to this place!“

“Probably the best porterhouse steak I have had in a very long time.“

“Hostess and waiters are friendly and very attentive.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“We’ve always been big Dog Haus fans. This location was always a bummer though with one infamous staff member who consistently had zero customer service skills. I left some poor feedback after a particularly awful experience earlier this year. Months later, I got a message that that individual was no longer with DH, taking accountability for the situation, and offering us a free meal for our trouble. And they came through on the promise! Really impressive customer service and appreciated by our family. The Hill location is officially back in the rotation!“

“Cool atmosphere, great music, best bottomless mimosas, & Felix makes the best espresso martinis 🥰“

“I'm a regular here at Der Wolf. The bartender, Ricky, made me a very nice tropical drink that definitely hit the spot. And let's not forget Taco Tuesday - the tacos are amazing, very delicious. I highly recommend. The dungeon is also nice; it's a little bit more intimate.“

“Super delicious amazing food and service is great“

“Comfortable and easy to get to, The Mixx has great folks taking care of you - the best bartender in all of SoCal, Carlos, who will mix you any concoction (the drinks menu is quite extensive and Carlos does not disappoint). Owner Ed is always around to make sure you have a great time, too. Food is quite good (sweet potato fries is a personal favorite). And there is always some entertainment going on: comedy wednesdays (free!), tuesday salsa, live music on weekends. It’s a great place to hang and watch the game (we were there for Super Bowl) or just cill and enjoy music and the vibes.“

“Very quiet and accomodating spot located inside the Westin Hotel. Wonderful for a few nibbles, drinks or a quiet lunch. Would be great for a business meeting or to catch up with a friend as its generally fairly quiet. Thank you for the wonderful service, nibbles, drinks, and peaceful time.“

“My husband and I were visiting the LA area last week. We walked into Mi Piace - it was Monday, they were open when so many places weren’t. So glad we did. It was fabulous-great food, fair prices and a wonderful server. Try the minestrone. Amazing. Salad was great, too.“

“Pretty good food and service.“
