According to mall ecology, if Auntie Anne's and Wetzel's exist in the same space that means the…read moremall is currently in a healthy state. Auntie Anne's may not be my go to, but this location is pretty solid. It's nice to see the workers use their magic to whip up the dough and form the pretzels and the times that I've ordered from here, the wait is never too long. Workers are friendly and quite efficient. With the location conveniently near the exit I use to get to my garage pit parking, it works out nicely for me if I want to grab a pizza pretzel to go (my usual go to). A bit oily, but a delicious fast food snack.

I stopped by this Wetzel's Pretzels located inside the Santa Anita Mall whatever they're calling it…read morenowadays. I've had Auntie Anne's and also had Wetzel's at other places as well. I have to say the pretzel that I got was amazing. I love the cinnamon option. It was very buttery at the base and also the cinnamon added a great churro like bite to eat, and it was great. I wasn't really sure how to line up and the line really isn't that intuitive but it all worked out in the team member there had to man in the tire booth by herself and she did a great job and she was coming out with orders fairly regularly. Be sure to join their rewards club. It is a little bit weird where on my android it wouldn't work, but then on the iPhone it worked fine and a lot of hiccups. If you're in the mall looking for some great pretzels make sure to come here to Wetzel's.

Had a very lovely experience yesterday at the Wild Parrot Brewing Company for the Pup Culture…read moreRescue event on the patio. The Brewery has a large parking lot however it gets full pretty quickly, if you get lucky you can also find some parking in the neighborhood street adjacent, or there is street parking for 2 hours on the main street. Yesterday was a pretty packed day, the main back patio with umbrellas was packed with people as there was an artist doing doggy portraits on that side. The back patio is disconnected from the brewery so you have to walk back and forth if you want to refill. I would say that side is more in the sun, so even with umbrellas it's a bit hotter on that side. The brewery is pretty cool inside, they have two separate bars to order from, one is the Beer bar, and one is the coffee/tea/ other things bar. I tried their Shibuya rice lager which was ice cold and very refreshing for a hot day. Our group also ordered the Really big pretzel, and Nachos which were pretty delicious. Finally, there is the front patio which faces the main street, and was fully in the shade. It is quite small with about 4 tables, but the sidewalk has quite a bit of foot traffic, and this is where we were able to set up camp with the fosters to mingle and meet with people who wanted to meet the doggies. When a breeze goes by, it is so refreshing and it's pretty nice on that front patio! I love that Wild Parrot Brewing company is dog friendly and the staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Thank you for hosting Pup Culture Rescue! A little shameless plug, my foster is Drew the Shar Pei, he is a bone faced Shar Pei, 42 lbs, very sweet, gentle, and very loving and as of this post he is still looking for a family to call his own!

I came in on a Saturday afternoon for a beer. They have a good selection; I chose a new hazy IPA…read more There is an adjacent coffee bar in case that is more your speed than a beer. There was a lot of seating inside and placards on most of the tables inside saying that these are laptop-free tables. They are trying to promote being social and having a conversation. I think the tables outside didn't have these placards so that's your option if you must be on your laptop. The beer was good and the service at the bar was just ok. They have bathrooms that are not obvious but one helpful employee helped me find one.

I found this spot when looking for breweries in the area…read more This spot looks like it's by the metro station. Theres ample parking in the back entrance. Which was the confusing part since there's another entrance. The gps sent me to the back of the brewery lol. Once we entered we realized that lol. The spot is decorated with lots of videogame merch which was aesthetic. The menu includes seltzers, lagers, & ipa. We tried the lager & seltzer which were both 10/10. There's also snacks such as chips/popcorn. What's pretty fun are the TV's mounted at tables where you can play some of the games. Smash bros to Mario cart. They also have sega games which was pretty cool to see. The staff was friendly and open to questions. The day we went was pretty quiet, I'm hoping to visit with a bigger group so we can play some of their game selection.

Came back here after a few years. Still a great little spot. Every table has a Nintendo or Sega so…read morethere's plenty to do. I do appreciate that you don't have to pay to play the games. It makes the place that much friendlier to be at. Jackie was especially nice. I like that they do the "buy your buddy a beer" and we cashed in on the veterans one. Thanks and cheers to the kind person that bought our drink. Sometimes I like to save it for another veteran but today I was thinking... no you know what.. this one's for me this time. So thank you. Last time I came here, I enjoyed their stout. Today, I enjoyed the El cachorro. Solid Mexican lager. Glad we found our way back here.

This spot wasn't exactly my cup of tea for just hanging out with friends, but I can definitely see…read morewhy people like it. It seems more geared toward bigger groups and parents who want to relax with a beer while their kids run around. They have a massive outdoor area and a food truck outside, which makes grabbing food really easy. Inside, there's plenty of seating and the pricing is reasonable for the area. There are quite a few kids around, so it really just depends on what kind of atmosphere you're looking for. That said, what I got from the food truck was good and the beers were brewed well with a nice variety to choose from.

A Friday evening with friends & some fun cocktails at the local BJ's…read more We ordered a flight of margaritas & rubber ducky tub with a pizza. It appears that Friday is one of their busier nights. Come prepared to wait approx 1 hr. Once we were sat the service was fast, we told our waitress her to come back for the food order but she seemed overwhelmed. She took her time to come back to get our order. At the end of our meal she let us know she was clocking out but we were unaware she wanted us to pay right away, she mentioned someone else was going to tend to us. I feel we had a miscommunication because she came back looking for the bill & we kept on chatting thinking another server was coming. Anyhow, I get it's a high pace environment & she might have been overwhelmed but she didn't directly tell us she needed us to pay. I like the food at this spot & variety of choices either way I'll come back but just not sure if it will be on a Friday night.

The ambiance was really nice, too comfortable and inviting, and the restaurant was very clean, even the restrooms, which is always a big plus.

This is a tough review to write. Congregation Ale House was THE place to go before Covid. Amazing…read morebeers, delicious food, a cool hybrid restaurant setup, attentive staff with cool uniforms. The place was the sh*t. I've come here several times over the past couple years and it's more and more dead at the restaurant every time. The waitresses are absolutely dreadful. Every request is forgotten or takes 20 mins to arrive at the table. When we arrived we waited 20 mins for a waitress. We asked for some sauce, they forgot. We ordered a pizza, which was delivered to the wrong table. When we wanted to leave, the check took 20 mins as well. Now I have a crying baby and I'm waiting for them to try and split the check two ways and I eventually give up knowing that the task is too much for them to handle and just pay it all on one card. We had to track down the waitresses multiple times. It's like they have NO ability to anticipate the needs of their customers. "They ordered, pizza, maybe I should bring some plates". Nope! "They'll probably want their sauce before the food item is ICE COLD". Nope! Anytime we went into the restaurant the girls were on their phones. There were five tables in the restaurant tonight so there really was no excuse. I think this will be the last time I ever go to this restaurant. Unfortunately, the reputation of the old Congregation Ale House kept me coming back even when time after time, the service was abysmal, however, now that Congregation's former glory is thoroughly tarnished I can honestly say that I will not be coming back and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Quality like this cannot be tolerated. Travis, the former owner, would be ashamed of this fall from grace. R.I.P. Congregation Ale House

We were in the area for the Wisteria Festival and we saw the sign for RT Rogers Brewing and decided…read moreto stop by for a beer. The brewery is quite spacious, there is outside seating on the sidewalk, but then also some outside seating inside the gate before you go inside to the bar. There were many crowds of happy and jolly people enjoying the weather with lots of laughter and smiles all around. The bar itself on the inside is pretty crowded and tight to order, but the bartender is friendly and does allow for samples so that you can decide what you want to order. I asked to sample the blonde which I really liked, and my friends sampled the Mystic Merrow Red which I liked as well, as well as the IPA which was delicious, however I decided I wanted to order the Blonde and one of my friends asked for the same. When we received our beers we noticed that instead of looking clear the way the sample looked, the beers we received were pretty hazy and we deduced that we got the Hefenweizen instead. Although this minor snaffoo, we ended up liking the Hefenweizen allot. I usually am not a fan of Hefenweizens but this was very refreshing and not too heavy for me so we kept the beers and we sat outside enjoying the weather. I really loved the vibe of this bar and I wish I lived closer so that I could come here more often. Now that I know about this little gem, if I'm ever in the area I will definitely stop by again!
