We were warmly welcomed by the husband and wife owners and they had excellent customer service! They answered all our questions about the food and drinks with great detail. We were able to try these mocktails: Years of Therapy, Scooters SSR, Hero of Hyrule, Very Magical Cat, Phoenix Rising, All My Best, Moon & Stars Each one was so complex and you could tell that they took the time to perfect each one. I personally liked the Years of Therapy and Scooters SSR the most. I love one of their core concepts - its that you can have fun while being sober!

It actually allows a family to come and enjoy bowling which is very reasonably priced. The location has been shut down for years, but recently opened up. It does have the nostalgic feel, and what is more cool about the place is that the pins are not bound by strings. They are loose pins that get shuffled back in place, which is really hard to find. The maintenance alone, I'm sure can get expensive with a lot of gears moving. The lane was well oiled and my ball was not damaged when returned. One worker manned the register while there were a few working behind the scenes. The workers are very friendly and enjoy their job. Domestic beers are 7 bucks and import at 8 bucks. This place also serves cocktails. The rental shoes were a little beat up, but with the prices, I can't complain. This will be my go to bowling spot!

The decor is also very nice, it's like a transformation walking into a tasting area in a winery. I get why this place is the way it is, it is a different persona from the other owned establishment, but wine can be intimidating. You have the reds, whites, the sweets, the sparkling and etc. Not only the difference in profile, but you can pair it with food to enhance the overall flavor. There's potential to display educational decor or have sessions to educate. They do provide a wine club, but small steps can establish commitments with a new customer base. The pizza is delicious. The sauce is great, the crust is solid, and the toppings are of quality. If you want something light and fresh, the Margherita. The most underrated pizza since we are all accustomed to a lot of toppings on pizzas. This is a must try. This place out of the other owned spots has burrata cheese. I think adding mozzarella with burrata would improve this pie, but nonetheless still good. The truffle pig pizza was also good. If you're looking for meaty and something not too light, this would be a good option. I definitely will be back. Thanks for everything!

I remember when it was the Diner on Main and, since then, the interior has been remodeled. The interior is comfortable, clean, and the lighting makes the place quite intimate. As for the food, I thought it was very well-seasoned without being too salty. These were the dishes we got: Chicken Salad ($28): A cold chicken salad with fried taro strips, pickled peppers, shredded carrots, cilantro, and sweet pickled onions. I thought this would be very bland, but it turned out to be my favorite dish because of how refreshing it is. The chicken is boiled like hainan chicken and seasoned with a light, tangy sauce. Everything went well together. 4.5/5 stars Orange Chicken ($18): This is a pretty typical orange chicken. I don't think it wow'd me, but I liked that it wasn't overly breaded. 4/5 stars Black Pepper Filet Mignon with Mushrooms ($25): I'm not a huge mushroom person, but I really liked the mushrooms here. It was a combo of oyster mushrooms and button mushrooms with cubed filet mignon. The beef was also really tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth. 4/5 stars Shrimp in XO sauce ($25): This dish was slightly spicier than I expected, but it was also pretty good. The size of the shrimp was huge and the vegetables were on point. It had snap peas, bell peppers, and mountain potato (aka Japanese mountain yam). 4/5 stars The service was very attentive and the owner of the restaurant was very kind. The owner helped us mix the chicken salad at the beginning of our meal and helped my mom cut her birthday cake at the end of the meal. 5/5 stars for service. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

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.

Walk inside and pick up the phone, and when the person on the other end answers, let them know how many in your party. Then the side wall of the phone both will open and you walk in to the speakeasy. Seating is limited, so get there early on the weekend, or go during the week and it's probably better. Craft cocktails are the name of the game, and it looks like a fully stocked bar, so if the menu doesn't appeal to you, you can order of menu as well. The mixologist were great, good usually and it's a fun environment. If you're in Pasadena, grab a drink and watch a game at the 35er, then head downstairs, through the phone both, and enjoy this ittle gem.

The brewery was a cool spot with a chill environment and about 16 options to choose from, they allow for tastings before committing to a drink. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and very chill. I had the Sonrisa Mexican lager once with michelada and once without; the michelada wasn't great. I also liked the prickly pear which tasted more like a cider but tasty all the same. My partner had the hibiscus tequila infused sake which was ok but not a real cocktail. I'd return for the Sonrisa when back at the Boulevard marketplace . Know that this place only accepts card payment no cash.
