We got the nachos and the burger trio and the filet burger sandwich. It was all good esp the filet burger which had 2 big slices of steak! The trio sliders were so good and love the bun with a lot of French fries. The nachos was a big bowl too with all the fixins-guac, beans, cheese choice of chicken or ground beef! This is a neighborhood gem and I'd make it a destination place to go to too. The place has a nice bar area with tvs too Thank you Keith for the wonderful service.

The staff was friendly and very attentive. The wings and drinks themselves were super flavorful and I thought I would have more time to enjoy and come back to visit while in town. My partner also tried their burger and fries and decided to stop by the restaurant only to find out they closed a couple of months ago. It was worth the visit when we went there back in December.z The place was cute and it felt comfy.

There's tons of ways to make veganized versions of traditional items and even if there's no meat substitute, adding vegan butter/cheese would open up a lot of options for guests. But!

We came to the Tam O'Shanter recently to try the Lawry's experience without having to drive all the…read moreway down to Beverly Hills and get all dressed up for the experience and we left with some thoughts about the Tam O'Shanter. First off, the location was definitely aesthetically pleasing. It felt like a storybook cottage in the Scottish Highlands which upon entering felt like a Scottish pub that serves heaping portions of shepherd's pie and large pints of beer. If you're lucky enough and book early enough out you can also book Walt Disney's booth and have the Walt Disney experience, which we were told includes some more additions that normal reservations do not get. Secondly, the service at the Tam O'Shanter good albeit performative. it felt like we caught our server on a bad day, but he was doing his best to make it a great experience for us...so I give him a pass on this. His suggestions were right on, with the exception for the dessert that we'll touch on later. We ordered the Lawry's experience which if you don't know is Prime Rib with the Lawry's cut. Lawry's owns the Tam O'Shanter so you're essentially getting the same cut of beef here as you would at Lawry's prime with the only difference being it not carved tableside. That wasn't a problem for us. We ordered an appetizer which included the bread with different butters and I have to say that was simply divine. Unfortunately, the prime rib was a little disappointing. I guess our expectations were higher than expected but it felt like the prime rib came but was missing the jus, and also accompaniments which made it seem and feel weird asking for it. The meat was cooked right on temperature and the flavors were good but at least make the gesture to offer options for the customer. Then came the dessert. The ice cream sundae was made out to be something unique that you don't get anywhere else. Well, it felt just like any ice cream sundae so we weren't really sure why our waiter made it seem like it would be a special experience. Overall, I think approach the Tam O'Shanter with cautious optimism and you'll leave happy. It's a bar and a restaurant dressed up to be a fairytale, but strip away all that and it's a bar that serves a good cut of prime rib with valet parking or street parking and probably more expensive than it should be. If you know what you're getting yourself into, you'll leave happy.

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.

There was a friendly play working the bar she was half affable and charming. Partway into the shift a 30s something male came to join as the bartender. He was far more interested in the arsenal game than he was of taking care of clients. It was clearly lots to do and yet he just sat and watched the game, simple things like giving me my check as soon as I was done with my food were ignored so that he could watch arsenal. Never before in my 20 years of coming to this bar, have I ever noticed server or employee of lucky Baldwin's paying more attention to the TVs then to the guests this was very offputting and this guy should not be there if this is how he usually operates very bad experience. I hate so much to give this review because the fish and chips were absolutely ridiculously outstanding as normal I will be happy to remove this review if management will give me a call and explain to me why this happened and what I should expect going forward

The second you…read morewalk in you feel like you've been teleported straight to Bavaria - dark wood, old-world decor, the whole thing. It's a European vibe that you just don't find anywhere else in the city. Their beer selection is what really sets them apart. They've got an impressive rotating tap and bottle list loaded with German imports you won't see at your average bar. A few of the drafts include Spaten Lager, Bitburger Pils, and Gaffel Kölsch. If you're into beer, this is basically a pilgrimage spot. Food is good too. Generous portions, and there are even solid vegetarian options if you're not in a meat-and-beer mood. What really makes Red Lion special is the space itself, there's a cozy indoor chalet style room for when you want that intimate tavern feel, plus a huge multi level biergarten/ patio upstairs and out back for when you want to be outside under the lights with a beer in hand. It gives you options depending on the night. Always a great mix of people, good energy without being rowdy. It's the kind of place that feels like a neighborhood spot even though it transports you halfway across the world. If you love good beer, hearty German food, and a genuinely unique European atmosphere, Red Lion Tavern is a must. This place has my heart.

The most we have seen so far, it was more a "business plan" let's do what Americans may think a German beer garden looks like. Our friend, the LA promoter Vahe, took us yesterday. We found a little gem, grown over the years, with an actual German owner and a service that had more than basic knowledge of German food. Nice! The ambiance was what you would expect from a place like this, less stylish-designer but more owner look-what-we-brought-from-Germany over the many years. The food was actually good, reasonably priced and generously portioned - the sauce platter really deserved its name "platter"- Came with great German curry ketchup. It would be too much to brag about the food, it was decent better than just OK version of classic beer garden dishes. But one has to be fair: where in German beer gardens you find food really worth bragging about? So while I was really tempted to stop at 4 out of five stars, I give 5. After all, it matches my most key how-to-get-5 element: would I do a 30+ min detour just to go here. If someone asked me to show them decent German cuisine in a somewhat authentic ambiance, I would take them here. The Kiez may be closer to our home, the Wirtshaus more stylish, but here we found the hearty welcome we missed elsewhere.

Reasonable range of pub beers, including their own ale which I think was great. I like buffalo chicken with extra buffalo sauce at a place like this. Theirs had a great thick breading.

Not their fault but the Santa Monica PD were teaching 5 by constantly to do absolutely nothing, Santa Monica I found you a budget savings. Constant revving and sirens to just make another lap.
