If you haven't been to Barney's, you're missing out! I've been coming here for years for drinks and good times in the evening. My first time enjoying it at lunch time. Angie behind the bar is hilarious and pleasant, knows her way around a great drink, the Cobb wrap and sweet potato fries put me over the top! Gonna have to wheel me out of here! They were so good I couldn't stop eating them! Definitely worth the try! Such a cool vibe and great group of different people always at the bar! read more

This review is for new years. $35 cover charge at 11 pm, no problem, understandable, they said they close at 2pm. BUT they turned the lights on at the music off at 1:10 am.. What a waste and scam of $70 (2 cover chargers) + $118 on drinks. Won't ever be back here on a new year. Besides New years, the place is chill, it's more of a social bar than a dance bar. Food is good for bar food. Music depends on the day. Parking in the lots behind. Servers and bartenders are kind. read more

Love this Barney's. Think it's the best one in LA. Has 3 levels with different vibes. Basement is a tikibar that has trivia and karaoke. Ground floor is a sports bar that has a fun little double decker bus you can sit in along with a couple classic bar games like pool. Top floor is a pool lounge and has a fun patio. They have a ton of beers on draft and an insane amount of TVs. A lot of the tables on the ground floor even have small ones in the booth you can adjust the channel yourself on. Great place to watch a game read more

Needed a place to watch the Colts play while on vacation. This place was perfect. Multiple screen and all the games on Sunday. They have a good beer selection and mimosa buckets on Sunday. It was great. Service was OK. They seemed a little short staffed but they were good. read more

Love Barney's Beanery. We had the Rueben Sandwich and Taco salad along with Boo Bear and Dogtown drinks. Unfortunately, while sitting on the side patio, staff from restaurant, the Kebob Restaurant, Lav Shash, decided to stand outside the patio and smoke. Ruining it for 4 tables. He was within 20 feet, which is against Pasadena Smoking ordinance. Don't recommend Lav Shash as the waitstaff does not follow city ordinances. But don't miss Barney's. This is a historical restaurant with Hollywood roots. Great food, great drinks, and a cool vibe. read more

This place is really busy on big game days. They have TVs everywhere and one at each booth. They have Ms PacMan & regular PacMan game. They also have a pool table. Today was not a big game day, so we stopped by. I alsondiscovered They have a bus, which the kids thought was awesome! I had a delivery Ruben & my husband has one of their versions of a juicy lucy. They do not have a kids meal, but the plate of chicken tenders with fries was the right size to share. They also have a great selection of beers on tap. read more

Old favorite LA eatery. They have a extensive menu. Had reuben sandwich with salad. Nothing cheap - $20 plus for a burger. Make it yourself to save money. Staff dress like homeless- servers should at least dress appropriately. I remember original Barneys in Hollywood - saw Brian Setzer - mid 1980s. We are both old coots now. read more

1st of all we asked one of the bartenders to put on soccer nd he knew what channel so we are watching next thing you know they changes it to the dodger game very RUDE of them out of all the TVs they have they cant show one soccer game so now im sitting and have to watch something i didnt wanna watch, plus the food is VERY EXPENSIVE way OVER PRICE like chilaquiles $16.50 WTF!!!

I stay obsessed with Barney's! They brought back their pre covid menus and Leme tell you... the braised chicken nachos.. WOW!!! Every time we go, it's always the BEST experience. We also ordered the pizza, you'd think it would be a whatever pizza, but it was soooo delicious. There's nothing I love more than great service. We had the best server who accommodated us with our toddler the whole time. Even got him a smiley face strawberry topped pancake for dinner! Pasadenas best kept secret if you ask me! read more

Overall good vibes. Music is good and people are great. More of a dive bar on the main floor and a tiki bar on the bottom floor. 3 stars because I ordered 2 AMFs that came out to $27 each. Usually an AMF is around $17, so I was a bit surprised at the price. I would double check prices before ordering a drink. read more

karaoke in the tiki bar downstairs! best surprise ever wandering in on a friday night! they do it friday and sat 9:30pm - 12:30pm!

Came with my boyfriend and friends to watch the Bills vs Chiefs game, and this place was LIT. The crowd was definitively going. My first time coming & I can see why people go here for any sporting events. It's so much fun. The food is good, your typical bar food & some other specialties. Large portions per plate. enough for two people. Despite being busy, our server was very attentive of us and took good care of our table. read more

I've been coming here for dinner about 2-3 times a month for decades. Back to the Q's days. Last 2 times we've been here we've been completely ignored by the server assigned to our table. The very last time we changed from a bar area table to the bar. (Bartender was great!) Tonight we just walked out. This server works the tables across from the bar. She is relatively new. Unless management hired her for OTHER reasons she should not be working in the restaurant business or ANY business involving customers. I realize it's hard to find good help these days. But bad help is worse than no help at all. I'd rather wait. Send me a message when she's fired - just the sight of her makes me cringe knowing all the other hard working people working at Barney's Pasadena. read more

Came here for first time with friends. There are three levels. The top level has billiard tables, mid level is more restaurant style, and the bottom level is the bar. Had a lot of fun. read more

A staple in Los Angeles culture for decades has become a Christmas Day tradition for my family and me. We walked in as they opened. No one checked our vaccine card. The family that entered behind us weren't even wearing masks! We had a friendly server. We ordered wings and fried pickles for starters. And the obligatory Bloody Mary. So far so good. When the lunch order arrives the burgers that had been ordered medium came crispy black. The impossible burger was perfect. The fish and chips were good as well. So the take away is stay away from the burgers. We will continue our annual tradition of Christmas Day food and drinks. Next year no burgers. It's a fun place with lots to look at. read more

Great sports bar with a wide range of channels. There is a personal TV per table and the staff is very accommodating about changing the channel so that your preferred game is in your sight line. Great atmosphere, great food/drink selection - we ordered carne asada fries and Mac and Cheese sliders. The staff is very polite and since there are a lot of TVs around it's easy to support your favorite sports team. The ambiance is upbeat, casual, and overall extremely personable. I usually go during game season and it's always a good time. read more

The food was pretty bad. Ordered the "special" which was three fish tacos. The fish was frozen, breaded filets, fried and put in a tortilla with a little shredded cabbage on top. The "salsa" looked like it came from a jar. Very disappointing. The service was okay, but we ended up having to get our own straws and at the end of the meal getting up and looking for someone to get a check from. The ambiance is great, love the decor. The only good thing about having to wait so long for everything was the chance to look at all the sports and music posters on the wall. With all the great restaurants in Pasadena I'm surprised this place is still in business. read more

Came here on a Thursday night so it was not entirely busy but there was somewhat of a crowd. My friend and I got a spot on the bar top and we were helped instantly. All of the bartenders were friendly and attentive. The drinks were good, a little strong but that should be more of a good thing than bad. The music was good and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. I would like to come back here on its busier days I am sure it would be a fun time. read more

I was at Barney's on 2/22/2023 for an association event I belong to. Barney's let us use their new Tiki room downstairs and it was a perfect spot for us. We had about 22 people and the room was quite large. There was plenty of room for us to walk around and talk with one another. When we ordered appetizers, it took around 15 to minutes from order to food on the table. Very quick. All in all, a good experience and venue for us. I believe we would have had more attendees and I'm certain the rain affected us. That had nothing to do with Barney's though. read more

Dinner time in Old Town Pasadena can be a hassle. There's a lot of traffic and having a reservation is ideal at any restaurant in the area. My friends and I had a reservation that fell through and decided to walk-in at Barney's. While it was busy inside, we got a table right away. There are TVs everywhere so you can watch your favorite game and the place has a cool, chaotic vibe. Our waitress gave us time to look over the menu and we placed our drink orders first, then when we received our drinks we ordered food. I ended up ordering the Mish-Mosh scramble (they serve breakfast all day). We waited about 30 minutes for our food. Luckily we were having a great time talking and catching up, and when we made eye contact with the waitress she informed us the kitchen was backed up. However when we got our food, it was hot and my scramble was delicious! The hash browns were perfectly crisp and I thought it was a great meal for $14. While the service was lacking and the waitresses weren't very attentive, I thought the food and ambiance made up for it. read more

This is another review written during the aftermath of the worst of the pandemic and its impact on hospitality. We don't go to Barney's for a gourmet meal. We go for the atmosphere and for Old Town Pasadena, the best open secret in greater Los Angeles. First of all, it's casual and festive. A wonderful vintage rock mix blares overhead, just loud enough to make you want to get up and dance, but not so much so as to kill conversation. I wish I could clone their playlist. The menu has always been diner-level overdone and fun. They have understandably had to cut back but it is still ample and has my favorite things on it like Huevos Rancheros and a vegetarian option for Eggs Benedict. I chose an avocado melt and mozzarella sticks with dipping sauce instead. Others at our table had gigantic omelets served with toast and hash browns. The portions are large but not obscene and the quality is good, sometimes very good. I was happy that my sandwich came with a sourdough rye-pumpernickel combo, my favorite. The table was spotless, the utensils wrapped in napkins and we were given their usual stack of extras. The plates were immaculate too, but since Covid is still lurking around, I wiped everything down again. All the wait staff wore masks. We were able to snag a seat on the indoor/outdoor corridor that has a fresh breeze all the time, due to its being between two open doors. The poolroom/bar atmosphere was intact and people were cheering a hockey game that was displayed on the overhead screens throughout. The waitress was very friendly --all smiles-- and attentive. We never had to wait for service or extras even one minute, she was always nearby without hovering. Given what she and the other staff have been through this year, we gave her a generous thankyou tip. What can I say? Barney's reminds me of the upbeat "joints" we frequented in college. And, it is on the busiest and most inviting street in Pasadena where we were heartened to see the almost-usual crowd, most wearing masks. The weather, as it usually is in Pasadena, was gorgeous, i.e., in the low 80's, sunny and gently breezy. We came for the best bookstore on the West Coast, Vromans, and amped up the day by having a late lunch here. What more can we ask? read more

Food is good for pub grub. A bit pricey. Service is the BEST! Nice ambience for a sports bar.

I was having an interesting night when it came to choosing drinks and Aleah recommended this one and reassured me it would be good and it really was! The service she provided was just outstanding, so welcoming we loved her! She is definitely the best bartender ever! I would 100% come back. read more

Its cool but a bit weird there was a lot of weird stuff and graffiti in the bathrooms.

Food was average and waited 30 minutes to get a waitress to finally ask what I wanted to order but that was only because I approached her first. read more

Overpriced. Cool vibe but in no world to do the prices justify its existence. They are charging roughly 40% more than their local competitors. I have to imagine the owners also own the building or they would be out of business. read more

Getting there: Located on the main street of Colorado in downtown Pasadena; street parking can be hard to find on a busy night, but you might be able to find some a few blocks down then walk over. Experience: This was the only place open for a late night snack and hangs so we decided to stop by. Originally, we wanted to see if the tiki bar was open, but it was not so we sat at the normal bar when you walk in. We ordered a drink and some mozzarella sticks. It was pretty dead, but it was a Monday so that was expected. They have a cool outdoor patio with TVs as well. They also have a separate bar upstairs, but it was closed also when we went. This place seems like a good time during peak hours. read more

The worst part of my experience at this bar? The Dallas Cowboys winning their game. Outside of that, waiter was phenomenal. Even after we requested to change seats to a spot with better view of the game. Even in an area that wasn't his. He continued to serve us throughout. read more

Love downtown Pasadena. Fun place to go, nice atmosphere, good tvs for sporting events. Food is typical bar food, but good.

It's a fun chill spot to hang out at I just feel that Pasadena has really died down and it's boring now read more

I used to love this place! The staff and bartenders have always been fun and friendly but recently the management has been very rude. Not sure why you have to repeatedly beg to put the game on and then beg again to get the volume on. Customer service is certainly not her specialty. That kind of attitude makes everyone else miserable. Please consider addressing the issue and improving her people skills. read more

Great atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. The food was great. Great little spot for a casual night out.

Great service all around. Nice place to have lunch or catch a game. Food was fine A little over priced but quality was good. Bartender was super helpful. Good music to vibe with read more

Went to Barney's last night for trivia in Old Town. It was not happening. Tall blond gave me a bit of attitude when I asked about trivia. My friends and I decided to stay and eat. BIG MISTAKE! Not only did we wait almost half an hour for our food, the service was bad. Very kind waitress, but very bad service. My friend and I got the chili. His chips were borderline stale and his chili lukewarm. His food was so bad, he couldn't finish his beer. I have never known this guy to leave a full glass of beer. My other friend only finished his burger that he said was barely okay, because he was drunk when he arrived. I ordered the 3 bean chili with beyond meat. The meat was burnt in some places, overcooked in others. I'm sure Barney's could care less that they lost us as customers. read more

Came here on a sat night and was able to get a seat at the bar around 930pm. I love coming here and appreciate the draft beer selection they carry. It's loud, music playing, people laughing and everyone's having a good time is my kind of place. read more

Although I'm a repeat customer, I always appreciate the polite and attentive service. Starting from the entrance/host desk, Vivian was an excellent listener regarding my seating request. Once seated, the server, Gena, was frequently checking up on us for beverage refresh, food, napkins, etc. Going back this week to watch US v Iran... GO USA!! read more

Ordered food and drinks. Took 30 plus minutes. Food came first we ordered draft beers

Came here with a friend last Sunday. We weren't expecting much, just two girls trying to find a good drink to have while we catched up. We stayed there for about 3-4 hours, we had so much fun talking. The bartenders were super sweet and fun. The crowd was a little more rowdy toward the end of the night but that's expected as the night carries on. The French fries with Parmesan were delicious and the drinks were *chefs kiss* I wish I knew the bartenders name but she was great. I ordered a paloma twice, my friend has two lemon drops, we had cosmopolitan shots and Mexican candy shot both on the sweet side but they were still good the paloma was a winner for me and was just perfect. The other bartender recommended these spicy nuggets and they were also so good. We had ranch, blue cheese, ketchup and Buffalo sauce. So delicious we were so happy we stopped in. I think maybe on a busy busy night you probably wouldn't have the same experience but we weee so surprised because Barney's Can be a hit or miss. read more
