I LOVE THIS PLACE. Me and bestie wanted to go out for a girls night, we decided we wanted to go see a movie at the Paseo and potentially grab some drinks beforehand. After looking up places nearby, I found this place, and the reviews looked amazing. Keep in mind that my best friend has social anxiety, so she was set on leaving if the vibes were not here. Nevertheless, as soon as we got into the place, the vibes were completely there!! Let me start with Carlos. BEST BARTENDER EVER!!! His hospitality is unmatchable, he really made us feel comfortable and gave us the exact experience we were looking for. I have never witnessed such a dedicated bartender! He really has a passion for his job, it's so fun to watch him make the drinks. He was suuuuper sweet! The drinks were AMAZING! Even though the happy hour price is $5, the drinks were definitely not watered down whatsoever. They had that liquorrrr!!!! I ended up drinking more than I had planned because of how good the drinks were. I also LOVE the drink menu!! Sometimes it can be kinda hard to decide on basic drinks, but this place has their special recipes!! Some of the notable ones that I REALLY enjoyed were the Gummy Bear (literally tastes like a gummy bear, got more than one), the jolly rancher, and the blue Hawaiian (obv). Soooooo yum!!!! Also, while I did not get food, I did notice that everyone around us was eating food, and it smelled amazing! I will have to check that out next time. I also want to mention something that I really appreciate about this place. Whenever I was starting to really feel the liquor, Carlos was constantly giving me water to make sure that I was balancing it out. It seriously helped so that I wasn't hungover the next morning! Anyways, Carlos and the Mixx really topped off our girls night!! Totally recommend for a night out with your pookie or even a night to yourself!!! read more

Great vibe! However if you order food, I feel it is good service to provide water. That's all.

Went in bc they had a sign outside that said "Rock en Español" turns out it was a Beatles tribute night Like the Beatles so it's all good but went downhill from there. The waitress was NOT attentive. Switched to bar bc we were never gonna get our order in. Bar tender didn't fill it up to the top gave us more foam (ordered beer) and gave the wrong drink to each of us so we can tell when u drink an IPA vs another drink! Tacos were trash (cold and flavorless) order was wrong asked for 2 meat not 3 chicken! They all seem new avoid this place at least until it improves read more

Had an amazing time watching live entertainment for Drew's Crew and Pattys comedy night! Highly recommend!

Came in for comedy club and super glad we go to enjoy tonight. Thank you patty for producing a super fun show . 2 for 1 drink are super delicious and overall a fun date local date night read more

Dropped by around 10PM on Wed night after flying in. Nothing nearby was open except The Mixx so we dropped by to get some food since we were starving. They had music blasting and people dancing on the dance floor at the back - fun vibes! Unfortunately, not the vibes my middle aged Asian parents were looking for, so we asked if we could order to-go, and the bartender/waiter said yes! He let us sit down at a table while we waited. He was VERY nice and brought us drinks and even apologized for the loud music (it's not your fault at all! It should be expected at a restaurant bar at night, don't worry about it). After 15ish minutes we got our food and brought it back to eat at our hotel. I got the Lobster BLT - which was a BLT with some lobster bits and pieces in it, dribbling with a delicious creamy sauce + fries (there's an option of sweet potato fries too). Honestly, it was pretty good. The bacon was nice and the lobster pieces honestly fit well with the burger. The sauce was super yummy, whatever it was. It came with a LOT of fries, though mostly unsalted. Overall, pretty good food and a decently sized menu. Super great service, even at 10PM (and their kitchen is open late!). Serving sizes are definitely big so they WILL fill you up for sure. Recommended for anyone trying to get a nice bite late at night, though I suspect they're also great during the day too! Could be fun to dance on their dance floor too! read more

Great bar. With Paddy's show. incredible time Extremely funny comedy show, would recommend the bar and club to anyon. read more

My friend saw this @ yelp and decided to give it a try. It's a spot at the corner where you can easily see it. We were here in time for happy hour and drinks were $5/pc which was awesome. Tasted a bit watered down but for the price, its all good. I'm a bit off on the service part because the staff are awesome from server, bartender, to security but they charged us cover even though we were already inside the resto and ordered several drinks & food. Place is cozy, it was just right for what it is. Came at an 80's night jam but it didn't feel like it. The crowd was amazing though. I don't think we'll be back. read more

We went here for a Mingle and Plei event and the space and bar is nice! We had a table of 10 and ordered plenty of drinks and food. The food was mediocre and when we complained about 1 item (calamari) the owner's response was "30 other people ordered it and didn't have a problem." Unacceptable response to a complaint, especially when we're spending plenty of money. The live music and band was amazing and is the reason we stayed because we had fun singing and dancing! read more

Came for pattys Wednesday comedy night. The comics were hilarious and the staff was friendly. Got the chicken sandwhich which was very tasty and the mai tai came out perfect. Damon Monday killed it as the host. read more

This place is a lot of fun! My wife and I celebrated our birthdays here with a small group of friends. We wanted to go dancing so we thought we'd give this place a try. We were not disappointed!! The ambiance is cool. Nice long bar and comfortable seating area. Dance floor is just the right size. Spanish rock band was lit!! And the DJ was good too!! Food and drinks were good and at a relatively reasonable price! Service was great. We called ahead and told them about our birthdays and they were very accommodating to us and our group! My wife got a birthday shoutout from the band and a free t-shirt! We'll be back! read more

The food is delicious and love that the kitchen is able to make adjustments. Carlos is the best behind the bar and he remembers your drinks the next time you come in. The music is always fun and the dance floor is very welcoming!!! read more

CARLOS IS THE JEFE!!!!!! I went here after a concert and the live band was playing and it was cool but honestly only 15 of us in there. It was a week night. But CARLOS was entertaining and had good conversation. I'm coming back just for Carlos! I wish he was my padrino! read more

Was here for a show. beautiful venue, with an impressive stage. Also 2-for-1 drink special (on Wednesday night at least). Gotta love it.

Came in on musician night. Exciting to see rotating and interesting performances. Great pace. Super friendly servers and bar man! Many specialty drinks served here. Like that they never charged an entertainment fee for this night. The drinks were actually reasonable and contained a lot of ooomph! The salads were huge bowls of beautifully mixed salads. A really enjoyable night! read more

I had the nachos: bomb af. Service: awesome. We came to see Past Action Heroes, and they were amazing and funny!! Please stop letting that emo man with long hair dj. So bad. It felt like an ironic joke playing Pitbull to "it's Friday then Saturday Sunday" to Rihana... like what And then he would repeat songs too. Again, thank goodness most of it was Past Action Heroes! Great band, great presence. read more

We came here at 7pm. No problem, we came in. And around 8:30 pm the started to kick us out saying we needed tickets for a cover band. We weren't even done with our food and drinks. Worst experience ever. read more

My friends and I came here on a friday night for dinner and to listen to some jazz. The restaurant/bar was just beautiful and had a very relaxing atmosphere. The lighting is very dim which makes it very romantic if you come here on a date. The service was great , friendly and timely. There is a parking structure near by and they also have valet for $10 but you can also just park in the street for free after 6 pm without a time limit. We had a few drinks, and old fashioned and scooby snacks which were delicious. For food i had the ribeye steak with spinach and red potatoes , the steak was good but i didn't like that it had a barbecue type of sauce on it but i just wiped it off. We really enjoyed the live music and would come back again. read more

Love coming here. Great live entertainment, Refreshing Drinks, cool vibes and great DJs with a giant LED Wall. Their happy hours are the best $5 on weekends and 2x1 Drinks during the week. Parking was easy too. FREE! read more

This was a pretty nice place to go on a Friday night. I am not the biggest fan of music while I dine but they're were 2 bands warming up for a show and it was pretty cool. While we were sat though the hostess came and shook us down for money to stay. We saw online it said $10 at the door and she was asking for $15. My husband and I handed her $30 but our friends only had $27 so she took that. The music we got to experience was a Paramore cover band and an Interpol Cover band. It would have been really awesome if the Interpol cover band had played first but it is what it is. We ordered the coconut shrimp, nachos, risotto meatballs, gummy bear drinks, beers, and a Scooby snack. The food was pretty good and we were pleasantly happy with our choices. The server was friendly and kept checking on us to make sure we were pleased. This was a fun and nice experience. We would absolutely come back! The restrooms have only two stalls and there were somewhat long lines since it got crowded. Also parking was down the street but it is to be expected for Pasadena. read more

I have lived in Pasadena for 7 years now and this is by far the best place I have found. I would come here just to have a drink and I would come here just for food! The service is amazing! Carlos is the best bartender from tim buck two to Portland Maine or Portland Oregon for that matter! The owner is also a stand up gentleman that makes you feel right at home and will take care of you. The ambiance is amazing with several TVs and giant projector. Great bar seating and lots of club like lounge chairs. The food is spectacular as well. Great prices and diverse. If you want to have some lobster tacos and a beer, you can't go wrong here. Generous portions and taste to match. Can't say enough good things about this place. Locals are frequent and amazing too, you will always feel at home. Thanks gents! keep up the great work. I would give this place a 15/10 if I could. Cheers! read more

Carlos is the best bartender. We love the mix so much. Best salsa batchata rag and Julia are amazing.

Best vibes. Clean and friendly. Definitely recommend the events as well Carlos is the best bartender in Pasadena and I hope you are blessed by his presence. read more

Made reservations for 2 at 8pm for me and my son. We were planing on dinner and all night drinking to the cover band. At 9pm they asked for $15 dollars to stay for band. I was willing to pay the cover charge, and I asked if I could keep the table since I made reservations and ate (I ordered a chicken sandwich) and drank a few beers already. They said NO because tables are only for people that spend over $75! I chugged my beer, paid the bill, and left for a better experience down the street! Too many places in Pasadena old town to support GREED! You will see the owners reply below where he lies about me not ordering food or willing to pay. He even took the time to check on their register how much I spent so far. He told the hostage I only spent $26 so far. Wow!These people are greedy AF! He is a blatant liar on top of his greed. Forget this place, now! Never again. read more

The Mixx Pasadena - Small place with greedy owner - New American Near Me - Pasadena, California

I will say upon arrival of the ambience seems empty but once you are inside the bartender, Carlos would definitely take care of you happy hour is definitely a steal. All the drinks are very strong and very tasty. Customer service is 10 out of 10 and I'd highly recommend especially after work on a long shift the chicken sandwich with extra seasoning was very good did not disappoint and I had a very good side sauce for my sweet potato fries I will be back when I have more time to sit there and get drunk. The vibe is definitely real! Thank you so so much for making my experience great carlos read more

The place would've been better if the short bartender wasn't racist, and close someone's tab after one drink. Talking about he doesn't trust me too pay cause I'm paying with cash? Hilarious when I'm with a group of people. zero stars if i could ( reply 2 the owner) I personally asked hi before I opened the tab if it was okay with he said yes and proceed to act the way he did!) even offered to leave my ID with him! read more

The Mixx Pasadena - New American Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here for a networking Meetup event and couldn't have been happier with the event space and the service. This is a great space for events like this as it allows people to mingle towards the back of the restaurant. They also have an area for live music which I was told is also fun as they open the floor to dancing too. But my review will mostly focus on the bar service and the amazing bartender. Sometimes when you are alone as a woman, it feels weird to sit at a bar but not here. The bartender was super friendly and definitely knew what he was doing..he made the best drinks ever! I ended up making lots of friends thanks to hanging out at the bar. Since it was a meet up event, I didn't pay for any food but did enjoy the snacks that were provided. Overall, this is a great space and I am looking forward to coming again with friends soon. Street Parking is available (free after 6 pm), though be prepared to walk a couple of blocks as this part of old town is crowded even on weekdays. read more
