This is a great place to just chill with friends and talk or watch a game. Very cool authentic pub.

I am a fan of T. Boyle's and have been for many years. It's a no frills type of bar with a chill environment. Prices are quite reasonable($), food is as expected for a bar (average, nothing special), Beer selection is good, and wine selection limited. There is limited street parking but is a parking lot in front which is $2-3 to park. I really like the location of the place, it's in an alley behind regency academy theatre. On the other side of the alley is the ice house entrance. They have pool, shuffle board, and darts for a small fee. On my last visit they said the place had sold and was going under new ownership. I really like the place and hope it doesn't change too much. So far they mentioned some new tv and table changes that will occur. They occasionally have bands that play for a small cover fee and also host trivia nights. If you are looking to grab a casual drink locally in Pasadena I'd suggest giving this place a try! read more

I swear, I did not even know this place existed, and I know Pasadena pretty well. We found out about this place because of getting tickets at the Ice House. There is a large sign in the back alley, so we decided to grab a drink and a bite before our show. We went in through the alley/back entrance. The service was friendly at the bar; however, you do have to place all orders at the bar -- then go find your seat. The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was lively and there were plenty of tvs with all different types of games on the screens. Our party of four shared the loaded fries with chicken and the appetizer sampler platter and seemed to be more than satisfied afterwards. I would return here again, if I wanted a laid back place to hang out with friends and watch the game. read more

Finally! A good spot to catch the game! Last night I was disappointed that My local spot didn't have the sound on for the Monday night football game. But this place did! Hidden little gem tucked in behind the Academy Regency Theatre and Ice House. Place was spacious and clean. I enjoyed the MadeWest IPA. The beef nachos were dry and not very good. Next time I'll try the fries instead. The onion rings were ok. I'll definitely come back for the beer and the games. read more

Great bonhomie and beer selection. Consummate sports tavern. Guiness lyre and lies abound. I'd say somewhat legendary. Can't find this in LA and I live there. 10$ special for hot dog/pickled egg and IPA pint. Scrumptious and creative pub food -- say fried pickles for one! Veggie choices too. Impossible choices in a very probable comfortable locale. Brick building. Off alley. Warehouse ceiling with great wooden beams. Upstairs and downstairs with views of TVs. Foosball and pool. Perfect for local sports team hangouts, Trivia nights, local intellectuals and good ole working wisdom abound. WiFi is great and catch up on work if you need! Non ostentatious Rhino and Moose heads square off fifty feet apart twenty feet high, buck heads nodding down on them like the 7 pointed gods they are (no one here shot or stuffed them -- they came with the ancient owners of yore). Classily arranged varied sized TVs for array of sports watching. Main TV is massive. Bose sound system with f'n great jukebox. Beers (modern and wines finely chosen. Ben and Wes (newish owners) are there most days with wonderfully measured service and great memories of "the usual" ! My home away from home as a pub should be. I drive out from LA at least once a week Incredibly unique setting (these days) -- off alley next to famous Ice House comedy club. Not far from Old Town. Try it -- make a night of it -- see a movie down block for 6$ too after or before. Get fine chocolates at Carr's on corner. Southern BBQ on Catalina too. Before you die...! Shut me the F up. read more

This place is still at the top of my list as far as bars with the Sunday Ticket! It has that homely feel to it and it seems like all of the patrons know each other. The best thing is that it is not as obnoxiously loud as Buffalo Wild Wings and other bars. However, you will encounter some belligerent people, but that is just par for the course when you have good alcohol flowing and some competitive games going on! Michelle and the staff at the place are really friendly and cordial. They are able to keep the refills going and their food is still pretty good. I would recommend the Sampler. It already comes with fries and all you have to do is choose 3 items out of 4 or 5 to complete the bar foodie goodness! Although there is a parking lot adjacent to this place, only recently has there been an attendant taking parking fees. In that case, there is parking on both Mentor and Colorado. Trust me, watching the games here is worth a little extra walk! Another great thing is that they show Dodger games during the regular season (and playoffs, if you don't have cable). So for those important regular season affairs and you have cable/satellite services not named Spectrum and don't want to utilize Reddit (if you know what I mean), you might want to stop by here! Finally, they also host a live band and trivia nights, as well! read more

T. Boyles Tavern - Tri tip sammich and football. A winning combination! - Pubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

Jimmy the Red rolled up on @tboyletavern for date night with @AudreyRLWyatt and Reggae Music. Several hours, a salad, an order of fish & chips and about a gallon of brew later Jimmy the Red rolled away with some assistance. I'm told he provided entertainment value in compensation for the ride home. Once in awhile we add "Designated Driver Night" on to "Date Night" allowing one of us to cut loose a bit. I do recall that as the mugs emptied the Boston accent grew louder and at some point turned in to an Irish brogue. The next time it's my wife's turn and we will be touring wineries. Anyway, good music, great service and really good pub style fish & chips. The fish had a nice light batter that was not greasy and the cod was done just right...tender, flaky and delicious, not overdone and chewy as sometimes happens and should be criminalized. read more

T. Boyles Tavern - 25 oz. Dead Guy Ale by Rogue River Brewing. Bring it. - Pubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

I'm not a huge dive bar person, but this place was pretty cool. I have to admit I was a bit intimidated walking down the alleyway to get to this place and not really fitting in with the regulars. However, my buddy LOVES this place and we got a coupon. Our bartender was one of the nicest ladies and was smiling at everyone. Food here isn't great, but it's not too bad either. The guy next to us had some sad-looking nachos but he talked to them and they gave him more toppings the next time around. I don't know why the pickled egg is served with pretzels but it really wasn't my thing. My friend said I either liked it or didn't and I gladly gave the rest to him. Our burgers were pretty good and hefty. I liked the kick of the Jalapeno burger, but I still preferred the BBQ Bacon Burger. Fries were delicious and coleslaw was pretty good. A cheap place to grab a couple beers with some good Happy Hour prices. I might be back for a beer one day but I'm gonna pass on the pickled egg. read more

Came here with a friend a few days ago and it's a cool, chill bar. They only have beer ( from my understanding) so that's something to keep in mind! We had the kombucha, which was great alternative since we don't drink much beer. We also had food, the sliders are definitely a winner, and the nachos..eh I had better. Our bartender was also very attentive and came to check on us regularly. Overall very chill place to wind down (or turn up)! read more

This is a weird spot, because it is in an alley. That said it is a happening place. They have a good happy hour starting at 3:00. They have a full menuu with two chefs, one Mexican and one Anglo. On various nights they have trivia, or bands, and there are pool tables with soloid games, puls dart board upstairs with lighter games. Fun place... and it has picked eggs at the bar. read more

Okay, I guess the lack of a full bar an sign no one was eating when I would go at the same times every Monday and Wednesday after Ju-Jitsu made me question if ordering food was a good thing AND take this bar too lightly. My apologies and hence the new update! Yes, they only have beer and wine, but the prices are great and while any crazy unique beer seems to disappear within a week, I've had some stellar good stuff. And I've been to other more well known ale houses where their selections may even be bigger but not as intelligently chosen by their buyer. I had a coffee porter last week which was to die for. Today I had a blueberry tinged ale. Not drowned in flavoring delicately hinted at, which was remarkable. Whoever buys their beer selections is a beer sommelier! My son loves the chicken tenders with fries an cole slaw (I eat the slaw). They have a yelp check in offer for free fried mozzarella with marinara. I have never been a fan of these where I would pay to order them, but the ones here are some of the best if not the best I ever ate. Still not the first appetizer I'd pay for I there are choices and only so much stomach room, but is a personal preference and not indicative of the sticks themselves. They are excellent here. The first time I tried the happy hour soft tacos and reported they were so delicious that I ordered more. I finally had a 20 dollar groupon today and decided to try a new dish. I got the gumbo. Look, it's not the best gumbo I've had in my life, but... for all of Los Angeles, while not completely authentic (no shellfish like crab or crawfish), it might actually be the best gumbo besides my wife's in this entire town. So try it! Once again, I took this place lightly. Go during a Los Angeles playoff I finals game and you will see how crowded it gets at 5 pm. And with so many TV's I got to watch the Rangers score on the Kings at the precise time the Yankees homered off the Okland A's. How sweet is that for a New Yorker?! I don't know if they have a deal with the small parking lot in back, so call ahead and ask what their tips are for parking. Also remember you cannot see them from the street. You have to turn down the alley before the parking lot to find it in the alley. Go! read more

Ben and Wes are the BEST! Love supporting T Boyles. The crowd feels local and the games are always on. Loved the veggie Boca burger with onion rings. The frickles; deep fried pickles are bomb! Cheers!!! read more

OK. The engineer in me is scowling at a perfect review, but this place is just too cool for school. I love the red felt pool tables. Check out The Who's who of beers on tap. I just tasted THE BEST IPA I've ever had: The Just Outstanding from Kern made with that pristine water before it flows into Lake Isabella - the last bastion for the California Golden Trout. They also have 3 (THREE) non-alcoholic beer choices for you thirsty or non- drinkers. This is my new favorite sports bar. I like the way the TVs are situated. The bartenders are cool and friendly. I had to buy the 10th anniversary shirt they were all wearing. The open vaulted 2 story with loft layout works. read more

Made my first trip here last week. It's a classic neighborhood bar with mostly locals. It's in an alley in a mostly residential part of Pasadena... you seriously need to know where it is or you'd never find it. It's at the intersection of two alleys and you cannot see it from any street. The beer selection is quite well curated with good diversity. The bartender was super personable and let me taste several things before I made up my mind. He told me that the vast majority of their customers live within walking distance (as I do). Cool neighborhood/friendly vibe. Not a hipster joint whatsoever... which I love. read more

T-Boyles is a Pasadena gem with a rich history beyond the current location. This is the spot to get lost with friends, whether or not you arrive solo. Ben and Wes are dope and have done right by the places original vibes, but with a bit of a more modern touch while preserving all that makes this place a must stop no matter your style. It's just a dope spot on the low. Love the Boyle been coming here for years and can't say enough. Try there, Philly cheese steak egg rolls fire! read more

OMG. Hidden gem! The selection of draft beers is amazing and the fresh food that is servered. Amazing hidden gem in Pasadena. Great place to play pool, or sit back and watch sports on the multiple tv's, and have a beer or two. Shout out to Devin for the excellent customer service. read more

T. Boyles Tavern - Smoke pulled pork fries - Pubs Near Me - Pasadena, California

My only complaint about this establishment is that I wish I would have found it sooner! If you like watching sports, playing arcade games (they have a bunch on the 2nd floor!) drinking good beer, and eating delicious food, this is your place. This is our go-to for NFL Sundays and big college football games. It feels like a giant family. The service is always solid, the patrons are friendly (even when wearing enemy attire!) and seriously - the food is great. Not your average bar food in the slightest. The fried pickles and dipping sauce are to die for, and the buffalo chicken salad is my personal favorite. The chicken always tastes fresh and pretty grease-free for fried chicken. The prices are a smidge on the higher end for a sports bar, but absolutely worth it for the quality. Can't give enough compliments. Keep up the good work crew! read more

Great spot to get your sports on and mingle with new friends. I like the spicy smash burger with sweet potato fries!

The mecca and standard for bars not only in Pasadena but all of LA. One of the last places to carry Coors Light on draft in this age of craft beer. Has more TVs than sporting events on at any given time. Ben and Wes are chillers. If you are parking in the lot, be sure to tip the parking attendant as well--he's a good man. read more

Let me just say that Kristen is the best bartender! Very sweet. On point. We stopped here before AND after visiting the comedy club. We will definitely be back again because of her! read more

C'mon! Everybody knows this place is the best bar in Pasadena! With the best smash burgers youI'll ever have and slaw so good you'll pass on the great fries and order a double helping. Wes & Ben are keepers of a space so void of pretense that you could show up in your robe, order a drink and no one would bat an eye. Just go! You'll see. read more

Went to go see my friend perform at The Ice House and decided to grab a drink here first and so glad we did. Very cool Irish and sports bar that only serves beer and wine. We didn't eat but the food looked delicious from what we saw. Had live music, the sound system wasn't the best as the singers voices were cutting in and out but it was still great. Should have taken a picture of the moose head that had bras and ties hanging from the antlers lol. Yelp offer - a free mozz stick order but I chose to save it for another time because I am sure I will be back. Great beer selection, wine selection wasn't as selective but not surprising since it is an Irish bar. read more

Great little hidden gem that has a speakeasy vibe. Good bartenders and atmosphere. Lots of huge screens for sports at every seat in the house. A few pool tables and other game tables for some fun.

Came in last night on a date and had a great time. Drinks are cold, bathrooms clean and the staffs friendly. Will def come back again.

What a gem!!! Looked up sports bars in Pasadena, they were the only ones who opened at 10:00, super smart since games start that early in CA. Great selection of beer, they serve breakfast and regular bar food. Great atmosphere! Highly, highly recommend! read more

T. Boyles Tavern is a great time, especially if you want an amazingly curated list of craft beer to choose from in Pasadena. This is one of the best if not the best particularly with the fall of both Slaters 50/50 and Congregation Ale House locally. There are multiple screens to watch different sports on as well as arcade games in a relaxed environment with nice fellow patrons. The food selection includes fun bar choices that don't take themselves too seriously but give you good value for your money. The owners have done an incredible job of creating a great craft beer and sports bar environment or alternative to some of the larger franchise bar restaurants nearby where you invariably feel like a number not a patron. I was excited to hear they are expanding their drink options in the weeks and months ahead and look forward to coming here whenever visiting Pasadena! read more

Great food, great pub trivia nights! Everything we've tried on the menu is good. Like really really good. Highly recommended.

There are some things that you forget about and when someone brings it up, you remember how much you actually miss it. Like when Micky Deez had the breakfast bagel sandwiches on the menu or when yelp used to have the "Your account has been viewed xx amount of times", probably by the same perv. None of this "in the past 90 days" bs. This place almost made me miss getting drunk off wine coolers & hitting up the party line back in Jr. High. "Wait for your match"... "Say hello" No full bar. Just beer and wine coolers. No Zimas tho. Your homegirl, Violy read more

Cool little neighborhood sports bar...my friends favorite place to chill. The entrance is in the back alley off Catalina Avenue next to a parking lot. However, don't park there, there are plenty of free street parking. Happy hour deal, buffalo wings and nachos are 1/2 off. We ordered a dozen wings, nachos and 2 beers and it cost about $18. Cheap!! But, the food wasn't all that great. I usually enjoy bar food but not here. Lots of TV's, only 1 big screen. Pool Tables. The patrons are super chill. Staff was friendly. read more

Monday night. Yep, Dodgers are playing the third game of the NLCS and the Colts are playing the Chargers on MNF. Maybe 40-50 people in the bar. One female server for the two hours we were there. She spent over 75% of her time other than in the kitchen or the bar area. Can't sell food or brew when you understaff and current staff go MIA. Dear owners: you failed to maximize your opportunity to earn a living this night. You did maximize my "never to return". read more
