Walking round N killing time I stumbled upon this spot. Chill, unpretentious, clean, good vibe-e for sure. They serve something for everyone; including beer and cocktails. Yes, food too! Johanna is the best! The attitude alone is one to remember in the best way possible. That's what a bartender should be all about. Common Space is a nice hazy IIPA and bonus I got a free little water bottle as a souvenir; first ten customers of the day will get one. (Smart marketing!) Back ASAP. Happy Memorial Day Weekend yall! read more

Food has something for everyone. Brunch menu available on the weekends. Parking right next door at the School House Garage. Pet-friendly. Fish and chips properly beer battered. Haven't had anything bad here. read more

Made it to Kings for a quick catch up with a friend. Space is large where there's 2 inside rooms plus an outdoor patio space. We ordered drinks at the bar and then decided to sit outside for a little quieter setting. I got a whiskey sour and it tasted good! It's a lively place! read more

We stopped in during happy hour for a quick beer and a bite to eat. We ordered a local pint, the burger and onion strings. They have great priced happy hour food options. Lots of seating and televisions with sports on. There are no servers, you order at the bar and get a number to place on your table. The onion strings arrived hot & fresh and the burger was a good value for the money. read more

Really solid vibe to have a drink and watch a sports game. This place is big on soccer, so expect it to be packed if there's an important game going on. Great drink menu, from beer to cocktails. The food is decent, I really enjoy the breakfast burrito. There's not much customer service here because you order on your phone, but there do seem to be regulars, which means the staff is doing something right! read more

Arrived around 9:30 on a Saturday night. The music was bumpkin' and the place was pretty busy. We found seating at a high top table. There are QR codes on the table. You scan the code and you get a menu to pop up. You order drinks and food and pay, all in one transaction. After a 10 minute wait, the drinks arrive. I had the house made lemonade. It was so good. Super tart and refreshing. I thought about ordering a shot of vodka to go with it. There is no server and it seemed to be a hassle to order more items. The fried pickles were way over the top salty. My fish and chips were amazing. . The batter on the fish was super crunchy, the fish was flaky and moist. My daughter had the fried chicken sandwich, she said it was messy but good. My son had the fish sandwich, he thought it was okay. My wife was happy with her nachos. We didn't have a server, so I did have to go to the bar and get a to go boxes. read more

I've been here quite a few time and every single visit has always been great. Sunday afternoon, the weather is great which brought everyone out. We did a quick pop in for a drink before heading home. The place was pretty packed both inside as well as the patio outside. Groups of people gathering to watch the games inside while outside there was a group of sports family enjoying a meal and drinks after a game. Also a little party happening on the patio as well. Inside was quite busy which we thought that everyone was waiting in line to order. Well, they were all having fun. Some a little too much but hey, Sunday funday... lol... The drink options was quite impressive. Both with beer on tap as well as a full bar. The selection on beer was nice as they had loads to choose from. Not only drinks, they also served food. Well, from the looks of dishes on peoples tables, I should of grabbed something here instead of a prior place. Burgers, sandwiches, burritos, a few sides and tacos. It all looked quite nice. We got a table outside which was good since there was a group that was leaving. They're picnic style tables so sometimes it shared with other guest. Back patio connects to the alleyway that is next door to the parking structure. It's always busy with people walking by so it seems quite safe. Not the dingy kind. There's also a little arcade area downstairs on the way to the restroom. Of course all your classic machines, and pinball. Pretty good selections if I do say so. Inside has two sections both with a bar of its own. It a sports bar restaurant so it's family and pet friendly. read more

Excellent burger deal for happy hour! Because you order on the app we did accidentally order 3 beers and 3 burgers, but thats okay, a great time was had. Not a long wait for food, drinks were fast. EXCELLENT PICKLE CHIPS, very generous portion. read more

Kings Row Gastropub - burgers, pickle chips, beer, and the view from the upstairs bar window seating - Gastropubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

Well I do have a friend who gave this place negative reviews but considering it was over 10 years ago and many of the recent reviews are good we decided to give it a try. So this is like a sports bar type place. There is some outside seating. It's kinda hot inside but they do have a large portable ac unit which we sat right in front of. You order at the bar or through a QR code at your table which we chose to do. Soda is free refills but you have to go back up to the bar and there is a water station to get your own which is nice for a bar. I had the Cobb salad and the guys had burgers and fries. We also split the cheese naan. I enjoyed the salad, did add chicken breast and I think it would be quite plain and less substantial without it. I like that they tossed the salad but the chicken, avocado and egg was not part of that mix. Corn in a Cobb is a nice touch. I did want to order iced tea but the look of the bar told me they probably don't fresh brew and there was really no one to ask without getting up. My son liked his burger and fries a lot, my husband said both were just ok. The fries he got were supposed to be hot something. I thought they were pretty spicy but he considers it much more mild than described. Cheese naan was really good. I would have loved to have an order to myself but I really should't be eating that much bread. Probably won't ever be back just because we're not from the area and there are other options to try but I think it's worth trying for sure read more

Decided to stop here for lunch on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Plenty of open seating as well as outdoor patio seating which is where we sat to watch college football. Family friendly environment. We self-ordered via QR code at the table. The food came pretty quickly and the definite stand out was the wings! They have good choices on sauces or you can have them plain. We chose the chipotle honey and they were well cooked, well sauced and just all-around yummy! We also ordered the cheesesteak and onion strings and they were good but not memorable. I don't drink alcohol but the husband liked the Figueroa Hazy IPA. Parking in Old Town Pasadena is all metered or paid structures. Great bar to hang out with or without a crew but don't skip on those wings! read more

Kings Row Gastropub - Cheese Steak Sandwich, Wings, Onion Strings - Gastropubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

My loyalty belongs to the Chipotle Honey wings--I'm addicted. But on this visit, I skipped the average fries to try the apple turnover, which proved to be an unexpected showstopper. It was a phenomenal, elevated strudel with a remarkably flaky pastry and a perfectly minimal apple filling. Though the vanilla ice cream was a touch frostbitten, the overall decadence made it easy to forgive. This menu is a triumph, and the turnover is a must-try read more

As far as ambiance goes this place is 4 stars. I gave it a 3 star review because ordering our food wasn't as easy as it was supposed to be. We chose to mist outside since the weather was great and it was already dark so we wanted to enjoy the outdoor patio area. It's got plenty of seating and there are cute string lights and a huge tv out there. Like I said, the ambiance is great. You are supposed to scan the QR code on your table of choice and place your order, which we tried several times but the add credit card option was not there. So you could only pay if you had Apple Pay and obviously some people don't have Apple Pay. We finally got a hold of an employee who suggested trying to order at the bar inside. We finally got that done. The bar tender who rung us up was so kind and was aware of the QR code issue and said other guests have experienced that as well. Our food tasted great ! My boyfriend could have used a larger portion on his burger. I enjoyed my cheesesteak sandwich but wish there were more fries. Other than that the flavor was definitely there. I do wish the restaurant could tell smokers to stand farther away from the patio. The patio is up against a parking garage and the space in between had smokers standing around- not sure if something could be done about that though. I'm not a big drinker but it looked like a fun place to hang at the bar if you're into that scene :) Oh they played pretty good music too. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it ended up being pretty underwhelming. The setup is odd -- instead of having servers, you have to scan a QR code, or go up to the bar, and open a tab with the bartender. No table service at all. The drinks were okay, but nothing special, and with the lack of friendly interaction it just felt impersonal. The bartenders weren't rude, but they definitely weren't going out of their way either. The space itself looks nice -- dark brick walls give it a cool vibe -- and there's plenty of seating, especially for a Saturday afternoon. But it was hot inside with no air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable to hang out for long. Most people seemed to just be ordering drinks; hardly anyone was eating food, which probably says something. It's like taking your lunch to the mall food courts. Overall, not terrible, but definitely nothing to write home about. Pretty mediocre experience. read more

Delicious spot to be at before a game at the rose bowl. The food was so good specially the wings. Awesome spot to hang out before any game, perfect venue for people to chit chat about sports. The service was great. Our sever Diana was amazing. She kept on checking on us a if we needed anything. Kings Row is the spot to kick it before any event at the Rose Bowl. read more

It's been a little more than 7 years since I wrote my original review, so I figured I'd update it. Fantastic food, great craft beer list, and really good craft cocktails using fresh ingredients. The Dodger game is always on when they're playing. I went this past Wednesday for lunch and the Asian bartender was very helpful and made a great beer recommendation and a great cocktail. I'll definitely be back! read more

I was there for the first time last Friday. Nice place Bartender was very cool. Ordered a cheeseburger after all that's what were doing a cheeseburger Crawl bouncing around in Pasadena for Cheeseburger Week! Sadly our Blonde female waitress was very rude. My food order was incorrect. She was not helpful either fixing that. We would have stayed and ordered more food and drink but when friends arrived they felt the same we rather go to the next spot. I will admit the Burger was good only reason for 3 stars! read more

Sports bar with surprisingly good food! Seating can be difficult during games, but there's some standing space and tables clear up eventually. The spicy chicken sandwich was very juicy and not dry at all. The burritos were great but very hot. I would def go back just for the food. read more

Tried a few beers here from Kingsrow and Rogue, and they were quite tasty! Live DJ and lots of outdoor seating makes this place a great stop if you are on a night out in Pasadena. Their food menu is quite extensive with burgers, sandwiches, nachos, tacos, and more. Have not had the pleasure of dining in, but the food does smell great. Overall, seems like a decent place to hang out or catch the game. The outside patio is dog friendly, which is always a plus! read more

I met up with some work colleagues at Kings Row Gastropub for Happy Hour drinks and appetizers on a Thursday night. It was my first time here. I was never into the bar thing in my 20's or even later in my years. I don't drink alcohol much if at all. But most recently I've been entertaining a bad apple cider here and there. This place has good vibes. It has two entrances... one from Colorado Blvd and the other from the back alley. There are two sections to order your food and drinks from. Their menu is surprisingly quite huge for a bar. They have TVs near the bar and video games at a corner here and there plus in a special room located downstairs. They also have a water station to help those who need to flush down the booze later in the evening or those who just drink water. Btw, customer restrooms are downstairs. The restrooms near the front entrance is for employees only. Staff was fantatic. Service was excellent. Happy Hour options are fantastic. The chicken wings that had the sweet flavor was very good. I didn't try anything else as I was still stuff from my lunch. As for my drinks, one of my colleagues treated me a dry apple cider. Another colleague treated me a Mexican Lager. Thank you both. I drank all of my cider... it was very light and had a crisp taste. I only took one sip of the lager... this was okay... I'm not much of a beer drinker. However, I would like to try their blonde next time. At the end of the day, I do have to watch my alcohol consumption accordingly. Definitely a great place to hang out for food and drinks with work colleagues, friends, and family! read more

"10 out of 10" one of our guests said as we found this awesome spot for dinner, drinks, and celebration following the 1-1 draw between CF Monterrey v Milano Internationale. We arrived just as the Dodgers were pouring it on and pushing through a big win over San Diego Padres. Ordered the "table nachos" with beers & margaritas(house made and strong). For dinner we celebrated with tater tots, onion straws, fish&chips, fish tacos, fish sandwich and a burger. "Someone knows how to work the fryer". Everything was top drawer. The place was buzzing by the 8th inning of the Dodger's win and we left very satisfied. Service was excellent and friendly. We sat out on the picnic tables and had a great evening! No question, we will be back!! read more

I just want to say that Kings Road Gas Pub in Pasadena is hands down my favorite spot to stop by before any game or just to hang out with family and friends. The customer service is always top-notch--they really go out of their way to take great care of us every time. The food is consistently delicious, the drinks are always served just right, and the place is super clean, which I really appreciate. It has such a welcoming vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. I also love that they offer vegan options--I had the Impossible Burger and it was amazing! Whether you're grabbing a bite before an event or just looking for a chill place to unwind, I highly recommend it. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I think today was around 84F to 86F and this open-air fan use restaurant/pub is mostly a "big nawe" in the summer and warmer days. I could not imagine a 95F plus day sweating bullets here and as we know alcohol does not help with heat. There are umbrellas on the patio. You will probably end up sharing a picnic table with others unless you have a party of 3 or 4. We had a loud group next to us which was less than ideal. STAFF are friendly, polite and efficient. The basement with restrooms has an apparent old skool video game graveyard which is cool. MOTHER EARTH: "CALI SCREAMIN" beer: -- pumpkin, vanilla, cream ale -- color is orangish-yellow -- not really sweet -- nice spice on nose -- light body and moderate carbonation -- pumpkin is clearly there but subtle and more on the finish and stays on your tongue RATING = B+ MOTHER EARTH: "CALI CREAMIN" vanilla ale beer: -- lightly sweet -- moderate carbonation -- light body -- color is yellow-orangish -- we have had it before and still a fan RATING = A It is too bad they do not offer smaller 4-ounce flights versus 16 ounces so we could try more variety. We would possibly sniff again but not on any borderline hot days. read more

The sports bar vibes are solid, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus, especially on a nice day. The ambiance has a fun, laid-back energy that's great for casual hangs or catching a game. However, after way too many failed attempts to order through the QR code system, I gave up and went to the bar to order directly. When the food finally made it to the table, it was already cold. And it was only a portion of loaded fries, which might have been sitting waiting to be delivered for a bit. I was not a fan of getting disposable plastic cutlery in a sealed plastic set. So much unnecessary plastic. Parking's the same deal as most places around here, tricky street situation, but there's a nearby structure with the first 90 minutes free and a couple of dollars hourly after that. read more

Seriously good food maybe the best wings in LA and honestly the best I've ever had - giant and fried in beef tallow A+++ But you can't forget about fries 6 stars - the ketchup is homemade and delicious.

One the go to pubs in Old Town Pasadena. Great for post race brunch, happy hour, and live music. We've frequented Kings Row for many years. Our run crew (Pasadena Pub Run) meets next door and Kings Row juicy burgers are thee best after our run. Food, beer, cocktail, and service are always on point. We traditionally come through with a large group of runners after the Rose Bowl Half Marathon. There's nothing like a belly full of burgers and beer as a reward for a challenging race. But our all time greatest reason to party at Kings Row is to see/hear our ultimate favorite 80s cover band Past Action Heroes. IYKYK! read more

So I grabbed a Lyft to Rocco's Tavern; Roccos was so crowded that even cocktoaches would complain( I didn't see any either!)...so I bailed to the 35'er bar; the 35'er was butt to crotch tight! Left the 35'er fir Kings Row: no crowds breathing down my next, open tables inside and out ...just what I was looking fir this Saturday night!

My boyfriend and I stopped by Kings Row to catch up with a friend of ours after work. They have a great selection of beer and wine, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and a relaxed ambiance that's perfect for a casual night. While there is a parking structure next door, we lucked out on street parking. We ordered chips and guac to share and my boyfriend got the chicken sandwich. They were what you'd expect from a gastropub on a Tuesday night. The drinks were good but it took a bit to be served, although it wasn't too crowded. Might not be our first choice but could be worth giving it another go! read more
