Met up here for a birthday dinner with my girls and we had such a nice experience! Drinks were beautiful, food and service were excellent, and the vibes were relaxed and fun, especially with the live music outside - a really great meetup spot in Old Pasadena! For drinks our party had The Empress (gin cocktail), Lavish Hibiscus (tequila cocktail), Lola Fairy Berry (vodka cocktail), and a Pineapple Coconut Mojito. Their drink presentation was definitely gram-worthy - and our party loved all of them except the Lavish Hibiscus (too bitter). But they happily exchanged it for another choice (no charge for the untouched drink) - so definitely high quality customer service here! For food we shared a bunch of their appetizers - the Mac ‘N Cheese, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Breaded Zucchini, and some fries. Everything was plated beautifully and utterly delicious- especially the Brussel sprouts - they were my fave! Our server was fantastic as well - very attentive, helpful, and friendly - my water glass was never less than half full haha! The vibes are so cute too - sort of rustic, shabby-chic style with some really beautiful paintings hanging all over the walls and splashes of color to break up the wood theme - very Old Pasadena - loved it! Truly a place to take your time and have a relaxed catch-up sesh with the gals (even on a busy weekend evening)! Prices are mid range and comparable to the surrounding area. Parking is nearby in one of the numerous public lots or on the street but that’s difficult to find in Old Pasadena. I usually use the De Lacey garage - always find a spot there and it’s super affordable!

Love the live music by Ken Song! My husband is a pro trumpet player, and I love live music. The hamburger with the secret sauce was delicious. Had the Prisoner Cabernet Sauvignon and an Old Fashioned, both were great…

This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The waitress looked drunk and was completely inattentive, the food was disgusting and barely edible, and the prices were outrageous for what they served. The calamari was hard like elastic and are you kidding me what restaurant serves calamari with out cocktail or marinara sauce!!!!! The potato skins were microwaved potato skins!!! Burger was the only decent thing. I came here because of the positive reviews. DONT BELIEVE THEM! Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values customers and food is edible.

Bottomless brunch bliss thanks to Bianca! She was absolutely amazing, so attentive and always made sure my drinks were topped off with a smile. Her energy was just what you want on a weekend outing, and the food was delicious from start to finish. The whole experience felt easy, relaxed, and super well taken care of. Shoutout to Bianca for making it such a memorable visit!

Super adorable bar with outdoor seating in a side street! They have promotions on Tuesday and Thursday for happy hour- 3$ martinis and other deals. Live music outside, we loved it! Will definitely come back again soon.

Bianca was amazing! They had a wonderful selections of white wines!

This place is an all-around great find, tucked away down an awesome little side street in Old Town Pasadena. The wine list and spirit menu are truly exceptional, with a thoughtful and impressive selection. The food is consistently delicious, especially for meat lovers—it is definitely a meat eater’s heaven. There are not too many options for vegans or vegetarians, but their fries are really good if you need a simple snack. There is often live music, which adds to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, and they have some great happy hour deals too. The staff is super friendly, and the venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, making it easy to find the perfect spot to relax. The space itself feels really original and was clearly created with a lot of love and care. Whether you are coming by for drinks, a meal, or just to enjoy the music, it is definitely worth a visit.
