We were invited by a member for lunch. It's such an amazing experience. The building itself is full of history. The lunch buffet has excellent food at such a reasonable price. The sale is fresh, the butternut squash soup, the flat iron steak, the grilled fish... I wish I could come here without club membership.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with The Athenaeum! From start to finish, their professionalism and ease to work with made planning our wedding truly stress-free. Every single person on their team was incredibly accommodating, always ready to answer questions, adjust details, and offer thoughtful suggestions to make sure our day was exactly what we envisioned.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning — a perfect blend of classic elegance and timeless beauty that made for the most breathtaking setting in the heart of Pasadena. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food and the exceptional bar service; every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the cocktails were crafted to perfection.
The attentiveness of the staff on our wedding day was top tier. They anticipated every need before we even had to ask, making sure we and our guests felt cared for and completely at ease throughout the entire celebration.
We are forever grateful to The Athenaeum for giving us the wedding of our dreams. If you are looking for a venue that is beautiful, professional, accommodating, and absolutely top-tier in every way, look no further! Thank you so much to Samantha, Selina, Chef Octavio, and the rest at The Athenaeum for making it all happen!

All'interno dell'Università si può pranzare o organizzare eventi di un certo livello.Visitabile negli orari in cui non si mangia. Personale molto gentile lo stile antico con quadri di tutti i personaggi importati all'interno dell'Università e altri. Bella esperienza per capire le tradizioni di una tipologia di americano. Visitarla è stata una bella esperienza.

They have weddings and events blasting music until 5am while students nearby are trying to sleep, and there’s nothing we can do about it. The moment we have interhouse or literally make the smallest noise possible, they call the cops on us for noise complaints. They’re such hypocrites and who even lives in the Ath? They ruin the experiences for all students here and are just a bunch of pretentious hypocrites. Would give 0 stars if possible.
