All the staff were friendly and helpful. Luckily, we were early enough that not too many people were there watching The World Cup. Service was a breeze! Prime rib was calling out my name. I decided upon the Tam O Shanter cut, medium rare. Even though it's Lawry's prime rib, they don't carve table side, but my prime rib was served to perfection! The meat was juicy, tender, and absolutely delicious Again, it wasn't Lawry's, so they don't serve their famous spinning salad but I love the creamed corn. I've never been too fond of Yorkshire pudding as I would much rather have a hearty roll. Unfortunately, because it wasn't dinner time, we couldn't order the chocolate soufflé and that's what bestie and I were looking forward to! Ha! Maybe next time!

They offer valet parking service so that was a nice touch. Had reservations and got seated within 10 minutes of checking in. Service was slow all night from beginning to end. There was a point in the night where literally looking for our server so we could get our bill and pay. After 15 minutes of waiting they finally came by our table. The food was good but nothing crazy worth the wait. Considering the prices you are paying here, I expected better. Stay safe folks!

The establishment is huge, and you'll find it below sidewalk level. In addition to the main bar area there are several other rooms to hang out in, have a good time, and play pool. I imagine it gets lively at night. On the menu you'll find standard pup fare. We just had lunch so we ordered drinks instead. The bartenders were friendly and the background music was a mixture of classic rock & country. There are also TVs for your viewing pleasure. On our way out I saw the cutest dog in the outdoor beer garden. His name was Guinness. How apropos.

This was one of our favorite places in pre-pandemic Pasadena. We had some "could have been better"…read moreexperiences during the awkward period of reopening several years ago, but since then it seems to have mostly hit its stride. Overall, our recent experiences have been solid. It's always great when an "old favorite" still feels like a good value. I miss some of the menu items like the lentil shepherd's pie, but we have very much enjoyed the hearty English breakfast. They also have a good selection of European beers on tap. Service has been friendly, but it is lightly staffed and pretty slow, so it's not a good place if you are in a hurry. They don't keep an eye on the patio, so if you sit out there, it's best to go inside and let them know. They also seem to have more rules than before - but I have to imagine these have come from experience. I don't think this is an ideal place to go with a large group. If it's a quiet night you might be able to pull tables together long-ways, but most tables seem ideal for 2-4. We come with our dog and sit on the patio when it isn't busy. The dog meals are massive (more food than ours eats in a whole day and she weighs 60 lbs). It's a good value, but beware if your dog is on a diet! Overall, my favorite thing is that genuinely feels like a pub, in that you can just come as you are and take your time without being rushed. A good fit for both locals and visitors in Pasadena.

Came in for a World Cup match and the place was completely packed! No seating available, so my…read moreparty and I ended up in a designated standing area. Everyone had to purchase something, which is a fair policy, but it wasn't posted or mentioned until we were already inside. Had I known, we probably wouldn't have come in, since I was only looking for food and there was nowhere to comfortably lay a dish. Vibes of the pub were generally good, but our server was unexpectedly rude. Everyone inside wore wristbands designating whether they were 21+ or under 21, checked by the bouncer at the door. I already had my 21+ wristband on when I walked in, but this server still accused me of lying about my age and demanded to see my ID in front of a crowd of people. It was needlessly humiliating, and she was also curt to my entire party when taking our orders; she just seemed annoyed and irritated. That said, it was insanely busy, and I'm sure it was a frustrating shift. Just left a bad taste in my mouth, being singled out and treated like a child in front of people for no apparent reason.

It's…read moreconsistently been a great spot, strong drinks, a solid beer and liquor selection, and food that always delivers (the burgers, fries, and pizza are all standouts). The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things, which is a big reason we've kept coming back. Over time, we've even met some of the owners, and the place has always felt welcoming and well-run, even through ownership changes. That's why this last visit stood out and not in a good way. The bar was packed for the basketball games, and the staff was clearly hustling. Honestly, they could've used more support behind the bar for a crowd like that. Instead, one of the partners seemed to take on the role of... social host. He made sure people knew who he was, but didn't actually step in to help where it mattered. We've seen other partners jump behind the bar or run food when things get busy, so the contrast here was hard to miss. At times, it felt less like leadership and more like a running announcement tour. Meanwhile, the team that was actually working kept pushing through a packed house. The vibe took another hit with the TVs. With so many screens already locked on basketball, it didn't seem like a big ask to change just one on baseball. One of the bartenders even put it on, but a few minutes later, after a guest played into Mr. Big Shot's ego, he went and changed it right back. Just unnecessary, and honestly felt a little performative. We still like this place and really appreciate the staff who show up and do the work. But that interaction definitely left a different impression than what we've come to expect here.

The one star is for our server alone -- she was very kind, attentive, and honest, even if some of…read moreher recommendations ended up being a little misguided. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. I ordered the chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy, my boyfriend got the Hungarian brat with spaetzle, and our friend ordered the Hungarian brat on a roll. Starting with the schnitzel: it wasn't completely terrible, but it definitely wasn't good. The breading was some what soggy and sliding off the chicken, and the chicken itself had almost no seasoning besides an odd lemony sourness. The mashed potatoes were honestly awful -- extremely sour, like they were overloaded with sour cream but missing butter, salt, or any real flavor. I LOVE mashed potatoes and only managed two bites before giving up. The red cabbage was overcooked, mushy, and had a slightly off taste. Overall, the schnitzel plate was maybe a 2/10, and those points go solely to the fact that the chicken itself was technically edible. My boyfriend's meal somehow managed to be worse. The bratwurst was fine, but tasted frozen and reheated rather than fresh. The sauerkraut, according to him, "tasted like dirty socks." The spaetzle was genuinely offensive -- mushy, overly bland, and tossed with what looked like hydrated diced mushrooms that literally tasted like dirt. I honestly questioned whether it had gone bad. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself felt dirty and had a strange smell throughout. It honestly seems like a place locals may still visit out of habit or convenience, but it no longer reflects what I imagine it once was. It's unfortunate, because there's something special about a restaurant that's been around for 65 years and still tries to maintain its old-school charm. Sadly, the food and cleanliness just don't live up to that legacy anymore. Save your money unless you're only stopping in for an overpriced German draft beer. We definitely won't be back.

Finding Hidden Gems: Art District Brewing in Little Tokyo, LA…read more One of my favorite rituals when traveling is hunting down the best local breweries -- and Los Angeles did not disappoint. Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Little Tokyo, Art District Brewing instantly caught my attention. The atmosphere alone made it worth the visit, with that perfect blend of industrial cool and neighborhood charm that only LA seems to pull off. The tap selection was impressive -- thoughtfully curated and clearly crafted with intention. But honestly? The food is what stole the show. I always love leaning on a server's recommendations, and this time it paid off beautifully. The chicken tenders arrived golden, perfectly crispy on the outside, and impossibly juicy within. These weren't your average bar bites -- they were the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-conversation just to appreciate the moment. Whether you're a craft beer obsessive or simply someone who appreciates great food in a great setting, Art District Brewing belongs on your LA itinerary. Next time you find yourself wandering Little Tokyo, do yourself a favor and walk through those doors. You can thank me later.

I was waiting in line for half an hour while I watched bartenders leave the bar to walk to friends, give them drinks, and drink with them. They continue to ignore me when I asked for help. Their friends however, stayed with filled drinks. Other employees that I thought were off the clock (they were in uniforms) continuously went behind the bar and also grabbed drinks. RIDICULOUS! The worst part was when I finally got help, IM GUESSING, the bartender poured too much in my shot then she decided to pour the excess into the cup of her friend/coworker's cup and still proceeded to charge me full price???? This is unacceptable and something or someone needs to be held accountable.
