25 Best Dive Bars near Pasadena

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

“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????“

“Lisa and Larry Belleville are super friendly!“

“This bar is pretty chill. I've come in a couple of times with my man-friend to play pool. We usually stop by the bar to grab a couple beers first and the bartenders are always quick to greet us and take our order. Drinks are reasonably priced. There are 2 pool tables in the back of the bar where you can add yourself to a list and get in on some games. One of the times we went there was live music playing. The atmosphere is pretty chill and inviting and for the most part the bar was clean overall. We definitely plan to come back!“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“New in town, so I drop by on a weekday to check out the scene but to my dismay I lost my driver's license/id and tried to use my expired id. The security guard follows the rules but still made me feel welcome so I respect that. She allowed me to come in but I couldn't buy alcohol.Bartenter was polite. Overall this looks like a good place to have fun on weekends. I'll be back when I fix my ID issue thanks.“

“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“

“It is a dive bar that's cash only.
No judgement for morning or midday drinking. You can disappear for an hour or two before you face the world. Not a family place and not a restaurant. Dimly lit and cozy.
Id definantly go back again if I get down this way.“

“Martinis have hair in the vodka. Not good for business. Bartender is rude“

“I don’t know much about LA and I was somewhat worried if The Echo would be located in a good part of town. To my pleasant surprise, The Echo was located in an area that felt like a small town. It was bustling with concert goers who seem to be conscious of everyone’s happiness and safety. The feeling of community was strong. The venue was small but comfortable. The staff were helpful. Venue doesn’t have a full bar so don’t expect to order specialty cocktails. Paid $500+ for this particular concert.“

“met the owner. nice guy!! loves the steelers...nuff said!“

“The Thai food is on point“

“Great local hangout! The regulars are fun and the bartenders are entertaining! Great service too!🥰😍😘“

“A toda madre un des madre“

“Low key unpretentious bar. Good bang for your $$ buck !!“

“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.“

“get it. putos!!!!This place is lit.“

“Great djs. Fun night events“

“I came here on a whim after wanting to avoid the crowds at Zebulon. Honestly this bar is a hidden gem, and thank god it hasn’t been flipped upside down and turned into condos. The outside is a neon lit heaven from the 1960s. You enter and the staff are warm from the get go. There is a left and a right side to the bar: The right side is a sizable dance floor complete with a gigantic disco ball, Dj booth, a couple leather booths, and panther sculptures. They played disco and funk this very day and the crowd was diverse and cool. The left side is the bar where there a probably 5 or six extremely comfortable retro leather booths. They have a great tequila selection but you can also order a $4 Tecate. My kind of joint full of vibe that i can’t wait to try again!“

“Very good place, friendly bartender very good cocktails 🍹“

“OK. The staff are awesome. If I’m in Echo Park, OBVIOUSLY, I am gonna stop by Little Joy. Sometimes Tina DJs and she plays stuff like China by Red Rockers and that is just amazing. But what keeps me coming back is Wednesday night karaoke with KJ Jonathan. Every Wednesday from 10:30pm to 1:30am, KJ Jonathan brings his awesome, sweet, hilarious sensibilities to Little Joy and makes all your karaoke dreams come true. Like karaoke? You owe it to yourself to call in sick on Thursdays and make it happen. DO IT.“

“Fun place to go after a game. No cover charge. Fun atmosphere. DJ kept it fun. Has a pool table in the back. Also dodger and LA significant/historical photos. There was a bartender that wasn’t as friendly. But not gonna ding the place. Just get helped by the other bartender“
