22 Best Pubs near Pasadena

“This spot is pretty chill. I got the whiskey sour and it was only $13. The other drinks are good too. I came on a Thursday night and it was moderately filled up with people. They had karaoke and it seemed to be a popular spot in the area. It’s very dark in there which I like, and the ambiance Is good. I’d forsure come back on the weekend.“

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

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

“Great chill spot. Good Beers!!“

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

“The enfant terrible of the Congregation family, you won't find live music, stand-up, or other room-filling gimmicks at this location. Instead, you'll find impecable service, quality food, and craft drafts at reasonable prices.

Startlingly, you'll also find it's almost empty on a Friday night. Its proximity to horrible Colorado Blvd dive bars with DTLA rooftop bar prices should make this place a gem, but folks haven't made the trek across Central Park to discover it despite it being so rewarding to do so. No better nightcap destination with the homies in Old Town.“

“Good drink specials and a solid atmosphere.“

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

“The people, the service, and the whole experience has definitely changed my thoughts on what a "night at the bar" truly is! That being said the only warning I have is that you might have too much fun and trade whatever fine drinking establishment you currently attend, for this precious little jewel; hiding in Montrose. There is something for everybody. They are doing something right at Gilligan's. It truly checks all the boxes. Sports✓Pool✓Darts✓Karaoke✓ I Love this place and will continue coming back for the foreseeable future and I am making the trip from the West End of the Valley....Uber Loves my new found obsession with this bar that makes you feel like you're on the cast of Cheers or Coach or dare I say; Happy Days!(but not tacky or outdated) just this familar feeling of being apart of a family! Need I say more? Whether it's your birthday, that new promotion, or you just want to celebrate waking up another day; this is the spot to go! See ya there....I mean here!! Lmao“

“Very nice waiter Nick. Big menu and lots of choices. Nice pub and lots of drinks. My mom and I got two dinners. I got a pot roast sandwich on a French roll a jus with horseradish aoili. I also got garlic fries. Ot was delicious but so large I coul only eat about a third of it. I brought the rest home and am going to enjoy it tomorrow. Mom got the tomato bisque soup with sweet potato fries and enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere and for 21 and older. Several TVs playing the Dodgera and a few showing the news. Too full for dessert but they looked delicious. We will be back!“

“This is my local pub and you can never go wrong with the burgers, calamari and popcorn chicken. Their staff are the best there. Never a dull moment unless you're the dull one. I have seen it go through 3 different managements. They focus on quality.“

“great place for an evening date with the wifey... 😎👍“

“First time here and it’s awesome 😎“

“Food & Fun in a bustling yet relaxed atmosphere.“

“Favorite place to hang out when visiting LA. The vegan food menu is amazing and on par with their selection of craft beers. The staff is exceptionally friendly. Always feel at home and comfortable when I am there.“

“Always great service and a chill vibe. Great selection of beer to please all taste.“

“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.“

“This is our local pub; we don't order wine (of which they have a nice selection), but they have a few European beers on tap that are quite good (including Guinness). They also have bottled beer if you prefer. This is a family owned pub (also "1881" on Washington/ Allen in East Pasadena), & you can usually catch owners Gail (sorry if I misspelled!) & Judah "Ben Hur." Actually he looks more like Mick Fleetwood and you can sit at the bar and have a chat with him if you want. I just like to say"Judah Ben-Hur" from the movie BEN HUR (1960?). Great service & vibe. Not fancy, just a great neighborhood pub to have a beer or two (I recommend several, if you have a designated driver). There is actually 3 areas you can drink- at the bar, a room for a few parties, and a secluded outdoor area for smokers in the back. It's quite cool & we feel at home there. If you live in Altadena/Pasadena on the west side (on Fair Oaks North of Woodbury) this is the bar for you. They also have pizza which is quite good. Judah is English, Gail from Chicago, and they have family that help out. It's a great little ace! Check it out! I'll be there tonight- look for the good looking older gent with the Roy Orbison glasses. He can be quite entertaining!“

“First time and last. My wife didn’t like the burger. Tried for a resolution. Manager treated her like crap. We left right then. Total crap-show food-wise.“
