When you walk in they have these mirrors on each side that you can take pics in or look at your outfit! They have seating at the bar and lounge area. I love the flower decor that's in the ceiling!! It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

It's so great having other bar options instead of driving to Los Angeles to drink nowadays. This is…read moresuch an amazing spot for girls night out and for people who just want to sit by the bar to order drinks all night. Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

They have a form you can request at the bar to fill out for a reservation. We ended up not making a formal reservation but we did inform them about our guest count. They let us bring flowers to decorate tables and they even let us hang up a banner. I had so much fun and am so glad we were able to have our party there. The manager was great and she even went out of her way to make is a custom drink menu. They were adorable! The bar is really spacious so we had plenty of room for our guests. The drinks are yummy and I heard many of my guests complimenting the drinks too. The bathrooms and general bar are always really clean, which is a huge plus. Also, there's a great patio out back. There's lots of convenient parking in this area too.

There's no floor service, and the bartenders won't even acknowledge you unless you walk right up to the bar. ​There is zero waitress service, and the bartenders completely ignore you until you approach them.

Yet, my boyfriend was served a Corona in a literal glass bottle... go figure. Food also comes on paper plates. ​To top it off, the male bartender was not welcoming at all!!

For the dudes, don't sweat about it being called bar blossom, it's still a great place to chill and catch the game, a hidden gem. On the plus note, they do allow food inside their area.

The cucumber lycheetini and the peach mojito were super refreshing and delicious. Both were super strong but you couldn't taste the alcohol in it which made it super dangerous. The drinks weren't super sweet either and had the perfect amount of sweetness. You can really taste the cucumber and lychee in the cocktail. Same for the peach mojito. The peach flavor was apparent. My partner enjoyed the New England IPA and said it was good! Service was excellent. The bartenders there were all kind and friendly. There is plenty of seating inside the food hall and the bar section is a dedicated 21+ section so there is some dedicated bar seating. They have last call at 9:30 since they close at 10 pm on Fridays so we made sure to get our last orders in. There is plenty of parking on the side and behind the food hall and on the street.

We were warmly welcomed by the husband and wife owners and they had excellent customer service! They answered all our questions about the food and drinks with great detail.

I was pleasantly surprised when I sent an email to the address on the website and received a reply with the password in a little over thirty minutes. After parking, we didn't have any problems finding the entrance even though it is not marked. Look for the big wood double doors and doorman standing in front. After giving him the password, he opened the doors and we walked in. We were surprised in several ways. The place is way bigger than I would expect for a place named "The Speakeasy". And at 6:30pm on a Sunday, we were the only guests inside. Only one other couple came in during the 30 minutes we were there. I would assume they are a lot busier on Friday and Saturday night. It is dimly lit, and very red inside. The bar is large with many bottles of liquor on display and many seats. The rest of the space is one large area that must have at least 20 tables, and the ceiling is high. It gives off more of a nightclub vibe than a speakeasy vibe. I tried the Naked & Famous cocktail which has two of my favorite spirits (Vida mezcal, aperol, yellow Chartreuse, lime, $18). It was nicely balanced with a good mix of smoke and herbal flavor. She had the Pablo's Poison (Altos reposado tequila, strawberry, lime, jalapeno, elderflower, $17). The jalapeno flavor really stood out with strawberry and elderflower in the background. They have a good cocktail menu with almost twenty cocktails, as well as a food menu with ten items. Walk up to the bar to order your drinks. Jeremy, the manager, and the female bartender whose name who I didn't get were nice. We aren't in Pasadena very often, and while they have a good cocktail menu, I don't know if we would return. We were expecting more.

You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16).

It's just off one of the Main Street. I haven't spent anytime in this city so everything was all new to me. We found street parking right out front but did noticed when we got inside that they had a parking lot out back. The place isn't that big. A dive bar of sort but was quite nice. One side is the bar and counter while the other side host three pool tables. There's also a couple of hi top table in the middle. They did offer happy hour everyday from 4-8 pm with free pool. And free pool Tuesday Thursday and Sunday all day. Drinks specials offered as well. We only popped in for a drink which was glad to know that happy hour was happening. The bartender behind was sweet. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. Bartender and a couple people utilizing the pool table. It was pretty chill but I'm sure it can get busy later on in the evening. Drinks specials offered were quite nice for the price. We also tried their spicy margaritas which was great. Bartender knows his skills. Also, a quick round of pool. The vibe was mellow and chill. Don't know if the music changes often but it was somewhat metal that was going on when we walked in. Crowd was great as they were all there for the same reason. Drinks and pool. Overall, it was a cool place for a pint and pool. Somewhere people meet up for drinks.
