I came across this bar after leaving a Halloween show in Burbank and wanted to grab a couple of drinks. I found this spot online and saw it had great reviews, so I decided to stop by and I’m glad I did! I ordered a drink called Whiskey Time, and it was amazing. We also had the carne asada fries, and honestly, they might be the best fries I’ve ever had. The place has a really cool, laid-back vibe, feels private, and the service was great. I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.
Meh bar. If you're looking for a loudish place with little atmosphere and okish cocktails for a fair price- this will do it. Better than the other two places we checked out but not a great spot by any means. Pasadena, what happened to you? I guess I grew up.

We had an amazing experience here! The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was absolutely fantastic, especially the burgers. We had some special dietary restrictions, and they handled everything perfectly without compromising on flavor or quality. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and even better service.

We stopped in over the weekend, late afternoon, to check it out. Great air conditioning, looks like a good place to hang out, but the music way too loud. No one is coming here to listen to music. We're hear to have a few drinks and talk with our friends. Music at this volume just comes off as desperate. It's not cool.
Chill place to come watch Dodgers games and enjoy an Old Fashioned.
Pretty chill spot and a nice staff. I’ve been here a couple of times and it’s been great both times 👌

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.
Yummy cocktails and a few televisions to watch the end of the Dodgers game!
I guess I forgot there aren't servers who come to you to take orders. Everyone congregates around the bar to order drinks and/or food items.
Very nice bartenders! Yummy food.
Only had drinks. Which were good not watered down.
Hands Down the best environment for a good 'ol Pre-Rose Bowl Game festivities. Got there around 9-30ish, the environment was starting to take on a Scarlet Red haze. Staff was perfect, rarely waited in line, great customer-drink recognition, The Blind Donkey had great food, service, environment, location - $65 bill w/a $35 tip & very much worth it - perfect way to lead into a winning day - Buckeyes!!!!
