50 Best Bars near Sierra Madre

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

“We were able to catch the game!“

“We had dinner at Wistaria last night and the food was delicious (we had the beet and goat cheese salad and the trout almondine and salmon dishes). We had such a positive experience that we decided to make this our go-to restaurant whenever we are in the area. I actually decided to write this review because of the kind service--after I left. I was convinced that I had left my cell phone at the restaurant (my phone had died and my apple watch indicated that the phone was there), and the staff person who answered the phone kindly looked for it and then patiently explained that if the phone had died, my apple watch may be indicating its last known location, but not its present location. She was right, and I soon found my phone--with a completely dead battery. Nevertheless, I appreciated her taking the time to reassure me--despite how busy I know that staff can be at that restaurant. We had planned to return for the wonderful food, but now we will definitely be returning for the delicious food, charming atmosphere, and more-than-helpful service!“

“Enjoyed our quiet outdoor meal last night. Everything was delicious 😋“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Excellent food with the cutest decor ❤️❤️❤️ not ganna lie, I first saw the store and thought I’m ganna go in and get some lemon ice cream of some sorts 🤣 and then I go inside and was like what’s this place?🤣I we end up getting a gyro and some fries, very yummy!“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

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

“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!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“Love this place, such a wonderful neighborhood gem. I'm so glad they're still here. Love the daily pop ups, especially my Triple Beam pizza! Cocktails are fantastic and love the wine selection. This place is on repeat for a reason. 🧡“

“Had the Texas prime beef brisket sandwich. I’m from Texas and tastes like home. Definitely check this place out. Will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Pretty good service.. you do have to provide a password to get in but the bouncer does give you a hints and was very friendly! Me and my boyfriend had a great time the reason we went was because of the Halloween decorations and they definitely did not disappoint. Yes the drinks are on the more expensive side but they’re not bad we got some drinks and each drink was under $20 which I didn’t think was bad as you’re paying for the experience and the drinks were also really good!“

“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!“

“Endroit hyper typique ! Bonne musique, cocktails d’un excellent niveau et à un prix tout à fait honnête, tous les classiques sont dispo et le barman tient la corde niveau cordes vocales !! Excellente carte de dîner ! Nous n’avons pas testé le grill … seul regret de la soirée. Il faut qu’on y retourne, absolument“

“*try victory golden monkey if you can*

Fun place to go with friends and play some retro cabinet games and other games I'm sure you haven't heard of. The pinball games are awesome. Would like to see more pinball games be added. More games and tables going to the back of the building. Restroom located in the middle(heading towards the back) Clean dining areas. Real Awesome Bartenders! Great beer/liquor/spirits/wine variety. Order at the bar, they'll give you a number and you can just choose a table. Super full when I went but the vibes were great. Awesome music and atmosphere. Good luck with Parking 🤞“

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

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“Been coming here for years love it !!!! They are always busy with something karaoke nights are the best !!!!!

Okay so sam !!!! She is a amazing bartender and she can poured a perfect Guinness!!!! And she makes a perfect mojito omfg its amazing!!!!“

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

“great staff vinyl turntables“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“Food is delicious great staff“

“My first time there today. It's my father's 71st birthday. For the past 13 years, every year on his birthday, I stop by a bar, order myself a beer, and order him a beer. All I have to say is Thank you, Jessica, and I'm sorry for your loss as well“

“ITS A REALLY COOL, CHILL SPOT TO HAVE A FEW BEERS AT. THE BARTENDER LADY IS THE BEST. SHE IS ON TOP OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT SHE HAS TO DO. MY BROTHER AND WILL GO EVERY OTHER WEEK. WE'LL HAVE A FEW BEERS AND PLAY ON THEIR DART MACHINES. IT'S A REALLY GREAT ENVIRONMENT IN THERE ALL THE TIME. ITS NOT TOO SPACIOUS, BUT THAT DOES NOT STOP IT FROM BEING A RELAXING SPOT TO GO CHILL WITH YOUR PEOPLE. I RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. WELL NOT EVERYONE, ONLY 21 YRS AND OLD“

“Hungry Bird is new in town, and I’m lucky enough to live just a few blocks away. This was my first visit, and I loved it! Everything looked and tasted delicious. They have chicken, beef, seafood, and pork skewers, plus noodles and sushi rolls. I came for the skewers, and I’d definitely come back to try more.

Thank you, Hungry Bird!

— One happy, hungry customer“

“Thursday Nights !! A+ Bartender Rosie goes above and beyond . I’m not only if she friendly and acknowledges any and every person who walks in she’s not like other bartenders I’ve seen other establishments who are on their phone more than they are working. She brings in a collective of different patrons all friendly Never once not felt safe when I am there It’s a shame the other Bartenders at this places sister establishment in Covina were as well Trained as Rosie. Or even new had to make a drink Tina’s Tavern Thursdays Hands down the place to be“

“This is a really neat historic spot, a craftsman home bulit in the 1800's in S. Pasadena repurposed into a restaurant. The vibe is cozy and welcoming. It's like your meeting with friends at someone's home but with professional service, where everyone can just relax and enjoy each other's company. My first visit was with a few girlfriends years ago for their happy hour which runs m-f, from 4-6pm. Since then I've come back for their brunch, and recently dinner. All visits have been memorable and exceptional all around.
They are known for their craft cocktails. My friend had to drink called Latina Medicina and substituted vodka for tequila. It was a citrusy, refreshing drink, beautifuly presented with a large square ice cube, which apparently takes 3 days to make. My husband had the Alien Pool Party cocktail, also refreshing and very fun! We had a lot of laughs with that one. So if you've never been here and are looking for something different, then I recommend you give him a try.“

“I was there for a 30 yr old birthday with a friend and it was a nice atmosphere Kareoke was good lots of nice voices ( I can make a choir out of them) LOL. All in all it good. But I left early cause I don't like staying out to late so 10ish was a good time to go home.“

“Perfect to have a good time with family and friends.“

“Love this place. Introduced me to spaghetts, and it’s basically all I drink now. The staff is so nice. I like the fries so much. Also last night 9/26/25, the playlist was awesome. Loved the music. I always meet the most random characters here too. It’s such a welcoming little place.“

“I hadn't been to this location in about 10 years. Back then it was a total dive bar with "fichera" girls. This time I experienced a fairly nice bar while I watched both the Canelo vs. GGG Trilogy boxing match and the Dodgers vs. Giants baseball game simultaneously. The waitresses and bartenders were very nice. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for watching future sports events. Otherwise, parking for this location isn't easy to come by and it's not a pick up joint. The clientele was pretty much exclusively middle aged Mexican men.“

“I dont know what you are looking for when you get the cheapest beers in town and the least expensive billiards game at the same time....but just in case those were the two things you sought out tonight....this would be the place. People come and go and the regulars are awesome welcoming and understanding. What else can I say about a place????“

“Unique & Friendly, for motorcycle lovers“

“nice place to have a cold one“

“It was a lovely afternoon tea. The weather was perfect for tea (rainy and overcast)! Our sever was so kind and gracious! And took very good care of our party. The host was also very accommodating wiith our requests too! The sandwiches and desserts were delicious but the scones really stood out! If you haven't had a chance, do treat yourself! The Langham itself is a beautiful place, Elegant and charming!“

“El lugar bueno y limpio buen ambiente“

“Incredible Chef The options when dining incredible Super Duper Service And if you ask nicely they will make something not on the menu… have visited 6 times“

“Love how you can buy food from Whole Foods salad bar and come in and enjoy it at Shuffle Bar. It's connected to Whole Foods, so it makes sense. It's never crowded, and there's a decent size t.v where you can watch sports games and get a cold adult beverage.
You can order food from the Shuffle Bar menu as well. It might be a better option, especially for hot items. It will be served warm and fresh.“

“Such a great addition to HLP!! Love the open-air seating up front for that indoor/outdoor feel and prime people watching. Feels a little Euro, a little neighborhood bar, and then later in the night you can head to the back when things get spicy and the dance floor starts going.

Cocktails are great — the Pera Martini is my favorite — music is top, and the bartenders are super friendly. I can see this spot being equally good for casual drinks during the week, a date, or a late night out!“

“This is place has the best events and open mics ! They also hold game nights with karaoke and food is delicious especially the popcorn chicken and dumplings 🥟! Place is only open during private events/parties or during big sports events! If you’re looking for a place to get a beer and hang out for live music this is the place in El Monte !!!“

“Pizza was fantastic!!! Rivaled Chicago!“

“What a hidden gem!! Behind Bars is a super fun little speakeasy tucked away in an excellent location in Mills Alley (Old Pasadena). Met the girls for happy hour and had a lovely time!! Our bartender, Lou, was such a delight - so attentive and helpful and even made me a delicious mocktail not found on the menu!

My mocktail didn’t have a name but it had grenadine, pineapple juicy, cherries, and I’m not sure what else but it was light, refreshing, and not too sweet - it’s like Lou read my mind! Flawless!

Our group also tried the Purple People Eater, Moon Rocks, and Don’t Be A Prick. Every drink is beautifully presented - and everyone loved them all except the Purple People Eater. It’s a vibrant ube-forward drink - but the “ube beer” made it kinda strange (according to my friend) - didn’t seem like a good choice for a carbonated drink (should be more creamy with the ube maybe?).

But they have a dizzying selection of liquor choices and plenty of beers on tap. No doubt something for everyone.

They also have a small food menu and share the quaint courtyard with the restaurant next door - so you can chill inside at the bar or tables or enjoy Al fresco seating out there.

They’re right in the thick of Mills Alley too so if you hit it right, the live music from the alley drifts in and adds to the chill vibes. Prices seem to be on par for the area (moderate). The entrance is very nondescript and almost easy to miss (there’s no sign on the building) but google maps takes you right to it.

There are several parking garages in the area - I parked at the DeLacey garage one block over for two hours for only $1. The area is very walkable with lots of restaurants and shops.

Excellent place to meet up with the crew…So great to see my gals - tysm to Lou for helping us have a blast!!“

“The course was in excellent condition“

“This our 2nd time here for dinner and it truly did not disappoint! The tender and craftfully seasoned steak & shrimp fajitas, plus the sweet corn esquite were delicious! We paired them with some drinks from the bar to round off our dinner meal! It was worth the stop 180 miles away from our home!“

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

“I love it here! Good atmosphere!“
