Takeout · Outdoor seating
Lively chain gastropub with huge beer list, broad American menu, good happy hour, and occasionally uneven service; best for groups and game nights.
This Pasadena outpost feels lively and high-energy, with TVs everywhere, a sprawling beer list, and staff that usually keep pace even when it is packed. One diner summed it up: "Perfect for a game, good food, and quick service," though another noted the room can be loud for conversation at peak times. In the kitchen, it is classic American bar fare with global accents: poke nachos that win fans, a gochujang-laced cheesesteak, solid burgers, and crowd-pleasing apps. Steaks draw mixed notes—one filet arrived spot-on while another was dry—so play to the strengths: happy hour bites, sandwiches, and anything from the appetizer board. Drinks are a draw, from mocktails to drafts, with service that is generally brisk. Families do fine here thanks to familiar comfort food like burgers, pizzas, tenders, and fries. Portions are generous, and staff typically accommodate simple tweaks. There is no dedicated kids menu mentioned in reviews, but the menu has plenty that children actually eat; just expect a busier, louder scene during games.
