This place is weird. On weekdays, the staff is great, the food is wonderful, and it is nice place to hang out. On weekends, (with the new Tiki Bar), they make the experience unpleasant. Staff ignores you. Drinks in the tiki lounge are super expensive (20 bucks for a slushy), and nobody cares. I tried to support this place through Covid and I like that they try new things. For now, Pasadena has many more places that are better and are appreciative of your business on weekends. Weekdays are still good here. read more

Super accommodating and kind staff, I asked for a meat patty for my dog and they recommended a diced chicken breast instead and my dog loved it. 6 starts if it was possible. The food was great and the beers were better. read more

Barneys Beanery - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

Sitting in Barney's as I write this. All of a sudden you can't sit at the bar tables unless you have a party of three or more. We we said we had a couple more coming. The waitresses have completely ignored us after we even asked for help. The hostess is completely rude and catty. To top it off there is a table with only two girls sitting there and they are helping them....but not us? This place has gone downhill. Worst service ever. Place is trash. read more

I'm not a big fan of Americano Mexican food, but the interior and the atmosphere inside are amazing!

I'm very disappointed and Yelp seems like the only way to let others know. We had a 5:30 reservation at Barney's Beanery in Pasadena. Sure it's not a fancy place - promotes itself as classic LA and the Santa Monica location has been good for us in the past. Online it seemed reasonable for dinner with our grandkids before heading to an event. After waiting 45 minutes at the table, asking 3 times for a service person to at least come over, we gave up. We went down the street and were immediately seated and served. Lots of places in this area with immediate service and great food. Even a pop up restaurant that we should have tried. After we left, Barney's "cancelled" our reservation on the Resy app. I guess this assures we can't provided feedback via the app or in any other way leave a review there. This was after we were seated and waited 45 minutes for someone to come to the table. Not good for any guest, but especially with kids. (By the way, if you look on the Resy app, it shows a perfect 5 star rating so maybe they cancel other people who aren't likely to be happy. This seems to be a "feature" of how Resy works and clearly it means their ratings are worthless. Let's hope this Yelp review can alert others to be cautious.) So, if you want a loud bar in the middle of Pasadena with what appears to be a colorful menu harking back to "good old days", this might work for you. read more

Food is horrible and the decor is too. I am blown away this place is still around. Just might as well be a dive bar.

Rating this purely as a bar, I really enjoy! Three levels, pool hall on top, bar and tables middle, and karaoke in basement. Love the diversity of activities in one spot! read more

Our service was not great. Our server would take forever to come to our table. My food order was wrong. The music was horrible I mean horrible. Our drink orders were wrong too. When asked if the drink was such and such the waitress said it was the almost the same thing as the drink that was actually ordered. I definitely won't be back again. read more

Came across this place a few times and I love the selection of beers, the pool tables, and the tiki bar downstairs. The food isn't the best but there are some good things on there! read more

Horrible manager!!! Does not care about his customers. My friend and I literally come almost every week. I left my id in the Uber, my friend was visiting from Ukraine and he ruined our fuckn night. Even after I was able to get a pic of my license. So fuck you!!! But yet you were letting girls that looked like 16 with fake ids. Yesssss I should report that!!!!!! read more

Barneys Beanery - This manager is rude, disrespectful, and very unprofessional. Complain so he can get fired!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great place to watch sports and not miss a thing (unless you need to use the restroom); TV monitors everywhere. However, the food, happy hour options for liquor drinkers (e.g., catered to beer drinkers), and female sports fans (mostly testosterone), is the downside to this place. Unfortunately, like most sports bars, men and women fans are not created equal; this place is no exception. Truly dissatisfied and, hint, hint; their prices definitely do not reflect quality for a double $$ rating. Their wings were undercooked (slimy meat; I only ate 3/6), so I asked for a "grilled" shrimp quesadilla, and "tadah," it was also undercooked. I could hear "Ursula" singing "you poor unfortunate soul" when I tried eating the slightly grey shrimp, after the waiter suggested that I sent it back. Lastly, I came in on a Monday (to watch football and hockey) around 6:30 (their happy hour ends at 7), not busy at all. The female waitress handed me off to a male waiter; both did not suggest happy hour liquor options, they knew it was my first time, therefore I was unaware that I was ordering my drinks at regular price. I can get the same liquor drink at "Freddie's" bar down the block for $10, the Beanery charges $22; I did not know I was running up my tab. I wanted to order a second drink before happy hour ended, but there was no one around or coming by to ask for last call drinks. When I pointed that out to the waiter at 7:02, he said, "yeah, I'm sorry. It is what it is. Our register stamps the time." If the sports ambiance experience were different, I'd say yes it's worth it but in this case, it's definitely not lol. read more

Rude, rude, rude! If you're going to post closing hours as 2 then your "security" guards better not come at me aggressively at 1:15 saying I need to leave while a beer at their bar was just sold to me at 1:05. Security guard or whatever was rude and condescending. Won't be back in a while. Anyone else, don't bother in coming to Barney's either. Garbage service. read more

Me and my friends ended up spending my bday there, at the karaoke level. It was great! Workers are super friendly. Bartender is a bit slow and messed our order but that didn't ruin the night! I would say DJ needs an anger management lol that dude really is going through something. Overall great experience. Food is on a good level for a place like that. Music was exactly what we needed that night! Ended up dancing till the place closed. Definitely will be back for some karaoke read more

Would be 5 stars if it wasn't for LIZZIE who was RUDE, RACIST, and extreme. My bf got a call and went outside to talk while I wasn't aware (I was using restroom) and I followed, Lizzie ran outside and yelled that we had not payed. We payed either way and she claimed that we did not. Lizzie was screaming and calling us names while other coworkers like Vivian were being so accommodating. Lizzie is the worst server here. No patience, rude, very dismissive. The other ladies were amazing. If you're a cashier don't speak for the costumer when you don't know what's going on. She claimed we were leaving the place without paying yet my bf got an important call so he walked outside and I wasn't of aware since I was in the restroom. Lizzie claimed we were stealing and ran outside for while homeless ppl were there which made it scarier to hear ppl calling you when you don't know what's going on. Lizzie could've been nicer and explained / asked questions. Instead she assumed, blamed and made racist remarks. Lizzie should be fired. Go Vivian and her friend i frankly forgot her name but Vivian would be able to tel you who to give good credit to ! :) FUCK LIZZIE racist ass bitch. read more

Used to come here often when I worked in the area. Went recently to watch a game and left early because it was ok to let-younger patrons get their way over older patrons who already spent their money . Oh well, won't return read more

Barneys Beanery - Chicken sandwich was eh - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

We ate here on a Saturday around 3 pm. We were seated right away in the patio. The table was dirty, there was no silverware or napkins. The patio was dirty. We ordered potato skins and dinner after waiting 20+ minutes to get noticed. Then after waiting 30 minutes to see food, they never brought the potato skins. Then when we said we wanted to cancel the skins, they brought them anyway for free which was really great. The girl who delivered them however was quite rude about it. The food was mediocre mostly. I can highly recommend the sweet potato fries. They were delicious. The grand finale was the bathroom. Worst ever!!! I think they were actually scary! NonTP or seat covers. The prices were pretty reasonable at least, so I if you desire a quirky mediocre eating experience that is reasonable priced, then this is the place for you. read more

This review is in reference to my girly pop Angie, she was beyond phenomenal . She is good at what she does. I would literally give her 10 stars if I could. The drinks were impeccable and she was so gracious and attentive! Thank you so much Angie! read more

A summary of our visit last night: - The doorman was very rude and unhelpful - All staff members we interacted with seemed like they did not want to be there - Our food arrived cold - It took us about 15 minutes to track down our server to get our check. This would have been understandable on a Friday or Saturday night, but this was a pretty slow Tuesday night. We won't be back. read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday thinking it would be a great place. But sadly due to the awful service it wasn't all that great. First and foremost I don't understand why the music was so terrible not variety no changing of the genre just Future for 6+ hours. Second our waitress seemed like she was either new or was just not all there. Our food took forever, our orders were wrong. And the thing that blew my mind: When we asked her if it was the right drink she responded "Well it's kinda like the same thing..." I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Prepare to wait long times for service and prepare for the order to be wrong. read more

Please don't eat here unless you like food poisoning. My husband and I were both sick within a 1/2 hour of leaving the restaurant. I attempted to contact the management, and no one called me back. read more

Barneys now has my heart. Some of the nicest people I have ever come into contact with worked at Barneys and were patrons there. Our large group walked in on a Saturday night and found a table with newfound friends! We had the absolute pleasure of getting Allie as our server. She was PHENOMENAL! One of the sweetest and most genuine human beings. She was so attentive and brought us everything we needed. We even got to meet the manager, Kiki, as she was making her rounds making sure everything was running smoothly. Kiki was a delight! So personable and kind. The drinks were so tasty and the music was great. Barneys is definitely a good time. We will definitely be going back! read more

The food was surprisingly good, but the service was AWFUL. Our server decided to take her lunch break at 8pm and never told us or asked another server to be her back up. We went 30 minutes in between having someone stop by our table and had to walk up to either the bar or the hostess podium to get anything. read more

The food and drinks was really the only thing that was decent even though we waited 30+ mins to get them. Our first waitress was really good. But the people who took over when she went to lunch were rude and completely dismissive of us. We had explained originally that our checks would be split in two and it wasn't. When we told the waitress with the long dark brown hair and glasses basically scoffed and later came back with the corrected checks. Not only did she slammed them onto the table, but she completely dismissed us when we had asked for boxes before the check mistake. Extremely rude. Will not be coming back if this is how they're going to treat customers. read more

Great food and drinks, love coming here to play pool and watch sporting events. All around great atmosphere!

This place could be awesome, but sadly it's pointlessly run down. The walls are clean, the floor is clean, the tables are gross, the pockets sag and bounce out your straight on shots. Four staff members behind the counter and not one of them checking tables for drinks or food needs. The blandest potato skins and bacon ever. They don't even have hand chalk in the house (I asked for it). The only quality employee we had was Sophia. Then my vodka soda slid off the drink table and shattered on the floor due to a slanting table top. At $20 an hour for tables this place is weak. With a few bucks invested and some decent management this place would be amazing and justify the cost per hour for tables. read more

Service at the bar is nothing short of excellent, would have been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the terrible service provided by Kyle. Food prices are a little steep but the food quality makes up for it. read more

This is place to go when you're trying to watch out of town games. There's TVs everywhere- even in each individual booth. It has a fun, low key ambiance and a great drink/beer selection. The menu is more limited but for vegans you can do the veggie burger in a lettuce wrap- the rolls aren't vegan. The have vegan chili as well, though I can't speak to how it is. At night they get to pretty crowded with a drinking crew and it's a lot of fun. read more

I can say I never get tired of any Barney's location! Great drinks, appetizers and music. I love to grab a seat, a good drink and people watch. It was late and dark so I was not able to get any pictures. The place was packed and they had games - baseball on the TVs. If you have not been to Barney's go. It's much better than any chain like BWW, and better food. read more

The staff was 100% great but the supposed manager was RUDE. She should be fired. I was super polite and she came at me saying "because I said so". Someone should go back to training or else people will continue to leave this place. She was rude from start to end. Upper management should look into this. read more

Had a bartender "reserving a seat" for clients that were already there. They had walked out for a smoke. Those clients had been sipping on the same beer for a long time! We walked up and ordered a round of shots then ordered another round when the bartender literally had us move from the stools for the clients that were sipping on the same beer. I was there with family & friends and looking to have a good time and willing to spend money but the bartender chose to sit ppl there that were probably going to sit there and sip on there hot beer lol. I will not return to this place I literally can't believe we were MOVED from the spot we were standing for clients that literally had the same drink since we had arrived there (2 hours prior). read more
