12 Best Sports Bars in Pasadena

“Been here a couple of Sundays in a row now. It's a really cool neighborhood style sports bar with good, well priced, cocktails and excellent bar food. Bar staff are friendly and helpful, and as I said mix a great cocktail. It's my new go-to place for football Sundays!“

“Great place! Good food and music!“

“I've been looking for a good pizza place for a while. I think the deep dish pizzas here are a step above most in the area. Pair that with a large selection of beer and friendly staff, and you have a place worth going back to. I'll definitely be back.“

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

“I visited Rocco's for some drinks before the IU-UCLA football game. The service was so good, I returned after the game for more! The owner did a collaboration with the IU-Bloomington bar Kilroy's and there was free swag being handed out. Definitely felt welcome as an out-of-town fan!“

“Absolutely love this place. The food was excellent! For appetizers we had the meatballs and bruschetta. For the main dishes we had the vongole, chicken Parmigiano, kids' spaghetti and meatballs and kids' chicken fettuccine Alfredo. For dessert we had the cheesecake. Everything was so delicious! In addition, the staff Ronie and Santos were so kind, professional, friendly and attentive. Thank you for making this experience phenomenal.“

“I've been in this area for years, and never thought to try Islands. My employment decided to have lunch there. The staff was very polite, I ordered the Big Wave burger. It was cooked to perfection. It was absolutely GREAT!. Sorry it took me so long to try it. But I will be back for sure.“

“Short-staffed, and I didn't have time to order food and wait. Establismebtbseemed like it wasn't ready for a big crowd on a Friday evening. The 2 bartenders were doing a great job considering the situation with some of the rude inpatient customers.“

“great vibe, good pool tables, cool crowd. good T.vs.“

“After 10 years, I finally revisited Hot Wings Café in Pasadena, and I was happily surprised by the experience. The place has been remodeled to a more modern look. Although I felt the previous look had more personality, the new vibe is still great.

My partner and I were warmly greeted by the staff. I'm not sure what other reviewers were referring to when they mentioned poor staff behavior, but our experience on a Sunday evening was the opposite. Our waitress was very friendly, and we noticed other staff members quickly cleaning tables and making sure they were spotless for the next guests. The floor was also clean, adding to the overall pleasant environment.

The wings were slightly smaller than I remembered, but that's expected nowadays in most restaurants. We also got fried zucchini and curly fries, and they were fantastic! Everything tasted amazing. They also provided plenty of napkins and a moist towelette to clean our hands after enjoying the wings.

Overall, Hot Wings Café remains a great spot for delicious wings. Even after a decade, I still enjoyed my time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Parking: Lots of parking garages around. Limited street parking out front.“
