    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!

    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 is now our favorite local place to unwind with a few libations, some games and usually an enormous, delicious pretzel. The staff is next-level friendly, and it rubs off on the customers, most of which are regulars. They host so many events and always keep the menu exciting. Plus they have an awesome dog-friendly patio! Love this place. The only negative thing I'd say is that the roar of the customers against the hard-surfaced walls and ceiling can really get overwhelming at times, but whatever. Not usually a big deal. Just hit the patio if it's too noisy inside. Definitely check out the place if you haven't yet.

They make everything with SO much love and pride!! Everything is homemade. The onion rings were perfectly crispy without being greasy. The chicken wings put bdubs & wingstop to absolute shame: juicy, meaty, saucy, and flavorful. The spicy bbq definitely has a kick to it and is addictive. Lemon pepper has never been better. If you're not eating your wings to the bone, don't talk to me! The chicago deep dish pizza was amazing. The crust is like Pizza Hut pan on steroids, buttery deliciousness. And the portion size is incredibly cute, perfect for one. I'm so excited for my leftovers :) Vibes are immaculate: incredible food, good music, and wonderful staff.

The place has a laid-back vibe--clean with a standard pub look. They've got tons of beers on the menu, but I came specifically to try their fish and chips. The food came out pretty quickly, about 15 minutes, and everything was fresh and hot. The fish was a single, good-sized piece--crispy and perfectly fried. The chips were thicker and circular, kind of like potato rounds, which were a nice change from the usual fries. They served it with tartar sauce and, of course, malt vinegar (a must!). Honestly, the fish and chips were solid. What really stood out was the service. Toward the end of our meal, the chef came out to check on us, which was a nice touch. My friend vouched for their beer selection, and I heard the pizza here is good, too. Definitely a chill spot to hang out, grab a couple of drinks, and enjoy some good food.

My group of friends and I went during the World Cup craziness. We had just come from another bar after the game had concluded and with an hour left before closing the hospitality was still as great as ever! I can imagine how crazy busy they might have been before we arrived but I'm glad the quality of service we received was good. I didn't know what to try and the sweet lady at the register gave me some great recommendations. I went with a seltzer and it was amazing (especially coming from another bar I wanted something light haha & no I was not driving). I will definitely be returning and with a group of friends again because the space is very nice and the vibes were great! Perfect spot for game days or an outing with some buddies. As for parking, it's located in the busy area of Pasadena and centered around a residential area expect to park far or in a parking structure; that means walking!

For example, they have a Spanish Language Brewery Meet-up every 3rd Thursday from 7:30-9:30pm monthly. Parking is street only so be mindful of the neighbors. There is no food service at this location but they seem to partner with a couple food trucks serving tacos. Some inside open air seating but the main draw is the relaxing patio. I liked their hard seltzers with fun flavors as jicama, tamarindo and passionfruit. I didn't like so much their signature Yerba Mate Pale Ale, but thought it was an interesting concept. The happy hour special is Monday all day and Tuesday-Friday open until 6pm $2 off full pours. Very family friendly, I always see a couple tables with children and dogs at them. Maybe I'm getting to be an old fuddy duddy but I hate when parents let their kids go free range. Screaming and running around like the establishment is a park these kids becoming trip hazards. There needs to be a revamp of their board game collection. There three boxes of games that looked incomplete or used up, not good with such games as Scrabble and Pictionary. Free Wifi with log-in is a bonus!
