Bars near Rosemead

“Food, wine, service and vibes were exceptional! We made resys for a wine night and the outdoor seating was cozy, with a heated lamp keeping us warm. Our server was sweet and helped us sample some wines - we chose an orange wine and sparkling wine which both paired perfectly with the food.

For food, highly rec the mentaiko spaghetti, fries with yuzu aoili, chicken wings, and citrus salad! Dessert is a must - loveee the hojicha tres leches and black sesame rice krispy.

Portions are small, but perf for sharing with friends and wine selection is lovely.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“Great beer, great outdoor vibe with music on the weekend.“

“Great analog music and excellent drinks. The bartenders and dj's are top shelf.“

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place“

“Haven't been here for a couple of years, as the last time we didn't enjoy the company of rats. They didn't even offer to buy in. This last time we went to a different area and the brunch was great. Truly like the croissant style cinnamon rolls and breve. We also had both types of benedicts and they were great.“

“This place is always packed, even on weeknights. It’s a testament to the beverages and service. Drinks menu rotates so there’s always something new and interesting to try. You can also always get a classic cocktail as well. Beer and wine are also served here. There is a regular food menu with larger portions from opening until about 9 or 10 pm when they switch to their late-night menu which consists of small plates to pick at. Theres plenty of heat lamps outside for when it’s cold you can still sit comfortably during the winter.“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“The atmosphere is very good, it feels very domestic, and the band performance is also very exciting. The price of bartending is not expensive. I ordered a lot of food. My favorites were the mutton skewers and duck neck, which were delicious. Suitable for chatting and drinking with friends“

“Johnny's strikes the perfect balance of being an old school dive bar you know and love and an elevated cocktail lounge with DJs spinning an eclectic mix of tunes depending on the night. Fast service, delicious drinks and a jukebox to play when the DJ takes off? What's not to love? ???“

“It’s a chill place with medium sound levels, not loud enough to hurt, but loud enough to fill the space. It’s got a great seating arrangement with tables, booths, bar, patio, and outdoor seating.

On the menu is food (if you come early enough), great craft beers that are fresh with clean tap lines, wine, seltzers, and N/A options. Some of the beers can be a little on the flatter side (just a bit). The service is prompt and polite.

It’s good for groups of all sizes (I would call ahead just in case it’s busy) and solo people as solo patrons do visit also so you won’t feel too weird, although most are in groups“

“We had a fantastic experience!The food was delicious, and the drinks were spot on. What made the evening even better was our server, Jennifer. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for us. Her warm personality and excellent service really stood out. Definitely be coming back soon!“

“Absolutely loved macho nachos, Korean style wings, hot dogs with bacon excellent“

“The sour beer was delicious. I love the 80s feel to the bar and the fact they have old school video games. Go Ms. Paxman. The food was decent too. Service was pretty decent, they could have come around a little more to check on our drinks, but that's sor of nit picking. Overall, would definitely return in my 80s attire.“

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

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“whipped feta app was incredible, it's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about how good it was! the drinks were all memorable as well. was super busy when we went but worth the wait. can't wait to go back for dinner!“

“Grabbed a quick dinner and drinks here. You just walk in, open seating. Scan a QR code to see the menu and then order at the bar. You’ll get your drinks at the bar and then dinner is brought out to you. Then to close your tab you have to go back to the bar which can be a bit of a wait unfortunately. But not too bad. The tacos were great. We went right before happy hour was ending and got $5 tacos. They were really good.“

“Secrecy is the name of the game here, as gaining entry requires requesting the passcode on the day of your visit. And let me tell you, finding the entrance is an adventure in itself. Once inside, the atmosphere crackled with excitement and anticipation. The self-serve tables added to the laid-back vibe, allowing us to find a cozy spot to enjoy our drinks after placing our orders.However, I must admit that The Speakeasy didn't quite live up to its name on the night of our visit. The lively ambiance, perhaps fueled by the energy of a Friday night, was accompanied by music that bordered on deafening. While this detracted from the speakeasy mystique, it didn't dampen our spirits entirely. The drinks, on the other hand, were a highlight of the experience. Crafted with care and precision, they offered a delightful array of flavors to tantalize the taste buds.“

“How I love this neighborhood club! People are friendly and fun. I stopped by early on a Saturday night and was dazzled by Xmas decorations they just put up for the season and a great new band playing out for one of it's first gigs. As the band played to an enthusiastic audience, everyone in the room felt like we were sharing something special.
Drinks are delicious and affordable, they don't charge for water- even bubbly water! Drop in!“

“Always looking for a good bottle shop and this one had it all. The overall vibe was cool with plenty to choose from. Staff was nice and helpful giving recommendations. Would like to come back and check out their tap selection as I saw they had some great stuff. Beer heaven!“

“A cozy restaurant offering a variety of cuisines. Everything was prepared with care, and the food was delicious and had a homemade feel. The waitress was exceptionally kind, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place!"“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“We went in search of the @losdoradosla truck and found it parked in front of La Cuevita. We ventured in at around 6p and discovered that it was still Happy Hour. My husband ordered an Old Fashion and said it was one of the best he’s ever had. I ordered a specialty vodka drink and it was refreshing. We’re definitely going back soon with friends!“

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

“First time attending and love it. The people were so nice and the bartenders were exceptional. Drinks were amazing. I'm not a Michelada fan, but theirs is totally different. Tried and loved Open Beer. Mariachi and DJ made my 5 de Mayo fun. Will be back!!“

“I didn't even know this place existed until a neighbor took me here. Its very spacious it's super clean and it's definitely much better than most neighborhood bars. I actually thought this place was a liquor store in passing. Sally is a great bartender. Very personable and a joy to converse with. There's 3 pool tables and ample room for a crowd.“

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

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“My birthday Breakfast at Tiffany’s brunch! It was a incredible and amazing celebration. Everyone from the owner, manager and all the staffs were friendly and very attentive. I recommend this place with no doubt. 👍 My guest and I had a amazing time.“

“My husband and I went there tonight, for Valentine's Day. We had the Steak/Salmon special. This ribeye was the BEST steak I've had in my life. So tender and so tasty!!! The salmon was wonderful, so delicious! I totally recommend their food. Yes, their prices are high, but you're getting the best food possible. And, really, on a special occasion, it's worth it to enjoy delicious food and great service!! Thank you, Verdugos, for a great Valentine's dinner!! We pray you are the most successful restaurant in Downey!“

“Great place to unwind from a long day's work. Wide selection of delicious beers and coffee.The owner is a people person there's always someone walking by or walking in and greeting him. All in all great place thanks for all the delicious beers.“

“🙂👍 Lisa does a great job!“

“Fun, Great drinks, friendly bartenders, and Friday Night Karaoke!“

“It's become a yearly meeting place for my friends and I to meet here at this lovely and quaint establishment. I love coming into Sierra Madre, a tiny gorgeous little place that lets me forget the hustle and bustle of the city. The restaurant itself is cozy and the service awesome. The food is delicious and tastes fresh. I have had the mushroom risotto and the chicken dish that was fabulous. The salads are also fresh, light and tasty. The desserts were wonderful. Not heavy, not powerful sweet, just perfect. I had the creme burlee on one occasion and the brownie on another. We have tried other restaurants in the area, but for me this is my go-to when in Sierra Madre.“

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

“You looking for a good time with good music and and enjoy load talk and hard laugh with friend and my like to enjoy a pool table game well r,s place is the dive bar you want to dive head first in weather it's just stoping by for a beer after work or you group of friends want to go hard on the bottles this the spot to go and let out the work week or conversate on the crazy life you been having r's place is your place to let your freak flag fly.

Parking: In the ally way back of bar entrance is there too“

“I came here because of an event from Yelp (Y.E.S. event), but the catering was done by this Sports Bar. The vibes are great. The TVs are always displaying the sporting event of the night. The food is awesome. Everyone at the bar, and even the server/food runner Ryan were providing top-notch service. Highly recommended. The Sports Bar is inside a hotel lobby but they do parking validation at the bar with a purchase (also, parking is underground, but very spacious and good).“

“nice place to have a cold one“

“lemme tell ya 'bout Kelly's Tavern. Shiiiit, them drinks was cold, that Bloody Mary was fire, and dem bartenders? Lawd have mercy, they was fine as hell.
I went in for a lil' somethin' somethin', and lemme tell ya, I almost forgot why I came in the first place. I was too busy watchin' them mix dem drinks. It was like a magic show, but instead of rabbits, they were pullin' out these incredible cocktails.
Let's just say I left there feelin' good, both inside and out.“

“Oh my, I almost don't want to let people know about this place, but I hope we will always have a spot.

Everything on the menu is of great quality and made with expert culinary techniques.

The wine list does not have any California wines, which is refreshing.

This was our second time, and one of many more to come. We have tried: the mussels, the vegetable stew, taboule, calamari, steak frites, chicken tagine, and the apple tarte.

Matti is great at pairing wines with the food.

Lastly, the music is great 👍.“

“Nice spot, service very friendly, they jam on good music I got me a double up fruit cup it was so good you gotta try it“

“Me and my guy went here to play pool we didn't know this bar is competitive with pool so you have to earn your spot to play on the one pool table however they do have multiple dart boards to entertain yourself while you're waiting plus the patrons there are super cool.

Parking: They have a big parking lot in the back of the bar“

“Drinks are good and vibes are good. Gets packed on Fridays and Saturdays but still is a good bar for the area. Tee is a great bartender, very friendly and she makes good drinks and nice to talk to. The one thing I don’t like about this bar is that despite its cool heavy metal, goth Game of Thrones-esque design, there is not enough heavy metal playing. Still, pretty cool bar but please play more metal or at least classic Rock.“

“This place has been my second home for 30 yrs the staff has been first rate the owner is the best owner ive had the experience of knowing. So get there and have a drimk you'll be glad.yooi did“

“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!“

“My favorite dinner spot in Sierra Madre. Excellent pub grub, and by far the best beer selection in town. Excellent service both inside and on the large outdoor patio. It's a great place to catch a game in a relaxed atmosphere or to enjoy one of their many beer festivals. The kitchen also stays open longer than any of their neighbors, so they're the best place in town if you want to eat a bit later.

Vegetarian options: They have a good range of vegetarian dishes, including appetizers and main dishes.

Parking: There's no dedicated lot just for the restaurant, so you may need to walk a block or two from one of the big city lots.

Kid-friendliness: They're as family friendly as you can get from a place best known for its beer selection.“

“In the world of trendy venues chasing the latest trend, there is a lone hero - Colorado Bar. For over 50 years this place has seen generations of drinkers. Fair warning: you will not like this place if you are not local, so tourists beware! “

“It don't matter what day of the week you go.You can always find a good vibe...at the glen Plus they got Bomb Micheladas karaoke on Sunday monday and Tuesdays.... Especially when my boy alex is working He knows what I wanna drink... Don't get me wrong All the bartenders are good but my favorite bartender is my boy alex....“
