    I visited this bar this past weekend. It's a small bar located in beautiful sierra madre. The drinks are strong, good and cheap! And the bartender was super sweet (I didn't catch her name). I'd go back if I was in the area!

    Debbie is just the very best bartender! Please come visit her! Her drinks are delicious and she is so kind and great to talk with!

    From the history inside, or beautiful shaded patio, to the gorgeous town, or beautiful bartender & her delicious drinks, you should definitely head to The Buccaneer!

    Here for Hubby Birthday after a hike at 1030am . The bartender was great and made a delicious Bloody Mary

    Dive bar? Yup! You'll love it! Everyone is very friendly. Great assortment of beers and full bar. Large patio in rear. Plenty of parking on the street and behind the bar.

    Cheers!

    A real happy place to grab a drink, laugh with friends and sing your heart out with the live band. If I'm in town again for sure I'll be returning.

    In June to Aug, 2024 I travelled around the United States for 42 days and as part of my travels I attended at the legendary Bucaneer Lounge in Sierra Madre to check out where Halloween 3 was filmed and other John Carpenter movies were also filmed. The bartender Debbie was the most welcoming and friendliest bartender I have ever met - she volunteered to take the attached photos. The best ambience! Would of loved to have stayed all day ! Great place and I had bren wanting to come here since the 1980's

    Went there for the first time New Years Eve with my husband. We live in town and had a great time! Enjoyed a couple glasses of wine. Generous pour. Friendly crowd and Brenda was a great bartender.

    This is a local dive bar that has live music on the weekends. It does get busy, so if you like to sit and watch bands I would recommend coming in earlier on the weekends. There is also a place to dance if that is your thing. There is a pool table and darts if you want to play some games. I asked for a hot toddy one day and to my surprise the bartender was able to make it! This bar is located at the heart of Sierra Madre where you will meet great locals! No food is served here, but there are several restaurants you can choose from nearby.

It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate.

Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

You reach a phone booth, pick up the phone, and wait for someone to buzz you in. This bar is different from the other two bars as it's smaller, more intimate, and focused on craft cocktails. On nights and weekends though, it can still get busy. We ordered a variety of drinks and liked the menta milk punch ($18), last word ($18), and queen's park swizzle ($16). This was my first time here and I would be interested in coming back and also check out the tiki bar too. This is a cool place to go as part of your bar hopping in Old Town Pasadena.

Down below, the atmosphere shifts completely: darker, intimate, mysterious, and just theatrical enough to feel like you've stumbled onto something you weren't necessarily supposed to find. Unfortunately, the secret was clearly out. The place was absolutely packed, and we couldn't secure a table. So our investigation ended prematurely--but like any good mystery, it left us wanting more. We'll absolutely return next time and see where the rabbit hole leads.

    Came here to try the Dine LA deal, since they extended the dates. It lined up with Yakiniku Week,…read morewhere they were offering a complimentary course, so the timing worked out great! A5 Wagyu Tartelette with caviar 9/10: delicious tartare and truffle flavor paired well, it had a bit too much truffle where we couldn't appreciate the Wagyu flavor as much because of it Smoked ribeye tataki 10/10: delicious smoked flavor. Typically I'm skeptical that are as just extra fluff for visuals, but these micro greens actually paired so well with the smokey meat flavor. Chawanmushi 7/10: classic Chawanmushi, egg was cooked well, not particularly better than others I've had. The Dine LA menu says it is with uni and okra, but ours today was abalone and mushroom, which were still delicious. Prime ribeye 9/10: delicious soft and tender. They cook each piece for you Dry aged ribeye 10/10: not part of Dine LA deal. this was the complementary course for Yakiniku week. Had some extra flavor due to being dry aged 3-4 weeks. Wish it was part of the set menu! Wagyu short rib 10/10: favorite of the night! Melts in your mouth and delicious beef flavor Filet mignon 7/10: classic filet, soft. They serve it with the bone marrow rice. It was a bit bland so I'm glad they serve it with wasabi. If you haven't tried steak with wasabi, give it a shot. Bone marrow rice 10/10: prepared table side. The kimchi, mushroom, seaweed all pair well with the rice. Rice itself was cooked well. It wasn't overly salty or savory, it was a good balance of buttery flavor. Miso cappuccino ice cream 4/10: the vanilla bean ice cream was a bit icy rather than creamy. The miso cappuccino foam was too salty personally for me. There was a strong coffee flavor, but it was overpowered by the saltines. Imperial palace cocktail 9/10: not part of the set menu. It was a good balance of Yuzu and whiskey. Often times when you order a Yuzu cocktail it just has a generic citrus flavor, but this one was a true strong yuzu flavor. Refreshing and complimented the savory meat dishes Overall, it's pricey for the amount of food you get, but that's expected with a premium wagyu set dinner. Especially if we did not get the complimentary course, it is a small amount of food for the $78 set and you won't leave full. But the quality and taste were premium. Service: very kind and attentive staff. They even gave us a complementary palate cleanser dish, and a scallion sauce to try. Ambiance: spacious dining room, we did not leave smelling like smoke or barbecue. The bathrooms are clean and have fancy Japanese toilets. There's a big parking lot out front, which was easy to find parking.

I was disappointed of the value of the "original" set especially since they no longer offer the bone marrow fried rice (it's on the lower tier one though). For $128 set and you only get 5 pieces of grilled meat and they count the starter drink as a course is disappointing. Yes there's meat in the starter courses but when the restaurant is focused on grilled meats, it's kinda sad you only get 5 pieces (unless you order more). The food quality is good but the value isnt there like it used to be. The biggest disappointment was the service though. We were never asked if we wanted to order drinks and was not asked if we wanted to add anything else at any point of our meal. Could we have asked? Yes. But there's a level of expectation from the service with a restaurant like this where they're promoting an exceptional dining experience. The courses felt rushed at some points and then other times there was a longer wait in between. It wasn't consistent. Knowing how it is at the other location, the hospitality level was not on par. Also separate from the dining experience - one of the bidet toilets in the womens restroom wasn't working, but there was no out of order sign and BOTH stalls had no toilet paper for quite some time until we had to ask a worker to restock it.
