About The Rumor Reel

The Rumor Reel is a popular restaurant and watering hole in Pasadena that offers great food, service, and a lively atmosphere. The prices are reasonable, especially during happy hour, and the staff is attentive and friendly, often checking for dietary restrictions. The restaurant features a variety of options for kids and a well-stocked bar with unique drinks like "Pickle shots." It supports local bands and has a Tiki bar and music pavilion by the water, providing a scenic setting for a fun night out. The large outdoor deck is often bustling during warmer seasons, with plenty of parking and full accessibility. Visitors enjoy the view of the water while eating and talking, making it a mini getaway to the water. The location is quiet and overlooks the creek and marina. Recent guests praised the food, especially salmon & mac/cheese, French onion soup, cream of crab soup, salad, and fish & chips. The outdoor seating offers a good atmosphere, though some find the white tent lets through too much sun in the afternoon. Guests have also enjoyed the live music, with bands like The Marshall Morlock Band providing entertainment. During band nights, wait times outside can be about an hour, but many enjoy sitting inside or on the deck once seated. The restaurant's staff is patient and friendly, accommodating large groups and special events easily. Visitors especially appreciate the water view, the delicious food, and the variety of drinks available. The restaurant remains a favorite for both locals and visitors, whether alone, with friends, or in groups.
