It's walking distance from the schoolhouse garage, has street parking, or there are several other premium parking structures nearby. The bar is a little dingy, a little divey, but not sketchy at all. Bathrooms are nasty, though. And 2 pinball machines! There's a small outdoor patio area. The live music is a lot of fun and the cover price is very reasonable. As far as I could tell, they didn't offer any good but the bartender was able to make beer recommendations. They don't have a huge selection, but they do have decent quality beers and a cider on tap.

You can see some fun acts here, of course these change everytime the events held. There are several restauants in the square itself so you can dine there and get a good view of the whole thing if you're on the patios of the restaurants. You could also just mingle in the square with other people who will be dancing to the music. Since the square is closed off some of he restaurants had booths out that were serving small bites and drinks. Think spicy tuna handrolls and kirin beers from sushi roku. And there was also another vendor selling mexican food, like tacos as well. Prices were reasonable for these vendors. Like 3-4 dollars a handroll and 5 bucks for a beer or sangria. You cannot take alcohol out of the square. But you could take a flask in if thats how you roll.

KCRW? Never heard of it…read more Name an indie band? That's related to the race car, right? When it comes to indie music, I know virtually zero. I only discovered KCRW's Summer Nights music program after becoming enamored with the band Mr Little Jeans by accident maybe three weeks ago. Free performance in Pasadena? Duh, of course I'll be there! Here are my secrets to success for future shows at One Colorado: 1. One Colorado is a retail block which technically doesn't have an address apparently. Use this address for the iPic Theater instead: 42 Miller Alley, Pasadena, CA 91105. The entrance to the theater opens on the courtyard where everything is set up. 2. I usually park in one of the major structures in Old Town (which top out at $6) because it's easy and I'm lazy. Here's their info: http://www.oldpasadena.org/info.asp 3. It pays to go about an hour early to get a seat up front if that matters to you. Even if you're in the first row, it probably won't mean anything later though (see below). At least you can have some drinks and relax with your friends. 4. Il Fornaio sets up a cash bar in the courtyard. If you want to use a card, walk into the restaurant and order from the bar. Let them know you're at the event so they'll give you a plastic cup instead of glass. 5. Remember I said getting a good seat only kind of matters? For a long time, security was pushing crowds to the back where it was standing room only. At some point they just gave up and everybody rushed up front. You now have a choice to either leave your seat and join them or not. If you want to see the band, the decision has been made for you. Run forward quickly, even if it means you get separated from your friends; they were too slow and that's not your fault. I thought I saw a guy spinning with outstretched arms like Zangief to make a space for himself in the crowd. (You probably shouldn't do that though.) KCRW set up a really fun event and the crew had a blast. We'll definitely return for future performances. Cheers to summertime and beautiful Pasadena!

Had a really good time here the other night when I came to see Mikel Erentxun perform. It was my…read morefirst time coming to this venue and I enjoyed it greatly. Not only was this place fairly easy to find but I also really like to see that people attending the show were granted free parking! Just one block away there was a corner lot with workers directing people to parking spots. A big thank you to the venue for making this happen as it definitely saves you the headache of having to find a parking spot. Plus it felt really safe to be able to park somewhere where there is a lot of light and people. After entering the venue, I noticed it was not very big but there was still a really good crowd there. The show sold out and there was still a lot of room in there, which I really liked. Nothing is worse than having to be inside a venue where everyone is crammed in there like sardines. They also have a big bar as you enter the second floor where they do the shows. The stage was also very up and close to the audience. There is pretty much nothing separating the performers from the people watching which I also enjoyed because it allows us to get a better view of the stage and performers. Additionally, the sound was also very good and I could hear everything clearly, from the piano to the backup vocals. Not bad at all ! Also, I'm happy the first show I got to see here was Mikel Erentxun. He played an amazing show and he really shows how he loves what he is doing and takes great pride in his music and work. I hope to come back here soon and see more artists play.

I was expecting to make an appearance, stay the polite amount of time, then bounce. That is not how the night went. At all. Firstly, I was given a Paloma to drink which is very nice. So I was chit chatting and relaxing on the patio with some other folks from work. However, when the friends decided to roll through and we started dancing, that's when the magic happened I hail from the time of yore with folded notes in class and calling for the time on the house phone. I'm old, y'all. So when there's music at a bar, unless it's a flashback night with indie sleeze or other ancient songs, I'm at a loss. I don't know who was DJing that night, but holy shit did that person transcend time and space with the fucking jams. Ranging from 90s house to modern cumbias this dance floor was fucking lit (or whatever the kids are saying nowadays) and we were sweating and dancing our asses off. It wasn't too crowded, the vibes were immaculate and I cannot want to come back with other friends and try again.

Interesting little music venue. It's located by the clubhouse and is a part of the golf course. The…read morevenue isn't super fancy but gets the job done. We went to see their jazz night and the dark atmosphere fit perfectly with the music. The music was good and seems to feature local musicians which is inspiring in my opinion. I believe tickets were $15 a person for a table and $10 for general admission. They had a Yelp deal which was for $15 for $30. We went for the table and essentially got 50% off by using their Yelp deal. I wouldn't say sitting at the table is completely necessary unless you're ordering food. The venue is fairly small, and you'll get a good sound wherever you sit. They allow you to order food at the clubhouse which is a nice treat, dinner and a show, ya know. They'll give you a number to place at your table and will bring the food out when it's ready. However, don't expect a full-on server to be present. If you need something make sure you think of it before you're done placing your order. Once you get your food, chances are you won't see that server again. The food wasn't bad. My husband and I split a burger with fries and an order of jalapeno poppers. I don't think people go here for the food though. Overall, it was a nice and reasonable option if you're interested in local music and looking for a weekday night out. Tip They do allow you to bring in your own wine and pay a corkage fee if that's something you fancy.
