“You need to email The Speakeasy to get the password of the day. Jeremy, the manager, has created an amazing cocktail list with creative drinks. His friendly demeanor during the evening set the tone for his staff to provide top notch service and drinks. We will be coming back soon!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“The Raymond is one of our favorite places to enjoy a fabulous meal... Their signature “Old Fashion” drink is top notch... their wine selection is devine... the servers there are amazing... overall a true gem to have a fabulous elegant date night or a casual evening. I love that you can sit next to a celebrity chef, basketball player, actor etc and you don't have people storming them and annoying the guests, everyone is there to enjoy a meal.“

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

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

“Great place to come and hangout.“

“First and foremost! Ask for Justin to make you a drink! Let him do his thing! Amazing mixologist! I’m so happy we decided to stop here instead of the whiskey place next door! The food was like mouth porn! The atmosphere amazing! The only reason I’m taking a star off…. The bathroom was kinda cringe! You guys can’t have that amazing place and the bathroom be like a dive bar… dress it up and clean it up!“

“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“

“Raymond 1886 was a cute gem in Pasadena. The wait staff was excellent and even gave us free dessert for the birthday we were celebrating! The food was pretty good, but pricey. We ordered the ribeye and truffle pasta. The drinks were really delicious as well and they even make their own ice. The ambiance was nice, the patio had cute dim lighting which made us feel as if we were inside. It was fairly nosy outside, but we could all hear each other talk. Overall I recommend the Raymond for a nice date night“

“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!“

“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!"“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

We came here for karaoke and dinner. A fun time was had!!?“

“Great Place With A Complimenting Bartender Who Knows What He's Doing And Communicative. The Atmosphere Is Perfect With So Many Different Types Of People Who Go Here And All Are Very Friendly And Vibrant.

Good Sitting Areas But It Could Get Crowded Quick. Also Has A Jukebox & 2 Pool tables. This Is A Very Warming Cozy Chill Spot.“

“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.“

“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“

“I consider myself quite the Tea connoisseur, enthusiast, and steepster (insert cheeky laugh). We had made reservations through OpenTable to try this place out some time ago. Upon arrival, be prepared to valet your car. The lovely entrance welcomes you to a special day.. It's the perfect setting for your Afternoon Tea. Tables down in the (I call it) Solarium portion of the Lobby Lounge are made up of the traditional 2 or 4 tops - combining a couch with 2 chairs and your Afternoon Tea spread placed on a coffee table. Excellent scones - moist and never crumbled when we spread the lemon curd and clotted cream on them. I would say the sandwiches were perfect! The bread was so soft, and the fillings were plentiful. My favorite was, by far, the Chicken Salad. They prepare Tea Leaves (out of Canada) Tea OMG!!! The Vanilla Earl Grey and the Thunderbolt Darjeeling have always been my favorites from Tea Leaves, and I was thrilled to see them here. I'm excited to return! Respectfully Reviewed.“

“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“

“Just the right pace and the bar tender was beautiful, she treated us like old friends, with a great knowledge of the drinks.“

“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“

“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.“

“Cool dive bar hidden away from the trendy beaten path. Cheapest drinks in town. Strongest drinks in town. Don’t believe me, try it out. You’ll have found your new watering hole! 3 big TVs 2 diamond pool tables 2 dart boards. Open 365 7a-2a every day!

Wheelchair accessibility: They are wheelchair accessible. Has a lowered section of the bar just for handicapped. Bathrooms are also wheelchair accessible. I spent 8 months in a wheelchair and was accommodated excellently“

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