Der Wolf was such a fun time. I was there for a meeting/ girls night on a Tuesday night and the whole place had a really great energy. There were games on TV, but also people actively playing interactive games like Flip Cup and other group games, which made the whole atmosphere feel really social and engaging. Honestly, it felt like the kind of place that encourages real connection and community, something that's needed now more than ever. The space is large enough where you can comfortably have conversations while still feeling the lively atmosphere around you. The back patio is also a huge plus, especially in Pasadena where the weather is beautiful most of the year. Service was attentive, the food and drinks were both great, and overall it just felt like a welcoming community spot. Huge shoutout as well to the owner, Crystal, who was amazing and incredibly hospitable. You can really feel the care and intention behind the space. It's the kind of venue the community can absolutely count on for gatherings, events, or just a genuinely good night out. read more

Came here for Mother's Day brunch. Was real excited to know they serve 19$ bottomless mimosas here. We arrived at 10:30 and had reservations for 11am. We got seated almost immediately which I liked considering it was earlier than our reservation time. On the menu they had 3 different flavor mimosas which were orange, mango & pineapple. For food, I ordered the steak and eggs the eggs were cooked perfectly but were very oily. Steak was good too & I really enjoyed their breakfast potatoes. Service was great. Server was very attentive & filled out mimosas glasses as soon as we would finish which I love lol. We would definitely come back here for a game night. read more

I had zero expectations for anything to be going on Wednesday Night even for Old Town Pasadena. Tonight, Laker Game til 9pm. Then Karafun took over. To my surprise DW had a low-key karaoke bunch ready to sing some song over a few drinks and food. Karaoke was easy to submit with a QR code to pick songs from your phone. It was easy, chill, and nice. Tip your bartender. Tip your karaoke crew. read more

I will never come to this place again. We were here for the Mexico game and I just wanted to order food but because we didn't have a table, they didn't let us order food. read more

Came onboard a Sunday after just walking around. Mixed vibe as it was there brunch party, which looked like a great time--- we just wanted food & drinks. The food took too long to come out drinks were good . If I was in the mood to party this is a vibe. Just wanted to eat & leave-- but couldn't even hear myself as the music was soo loud, read more

Was supposed to come here for the bar next to it but it was closed, but was pleasantly surprised by this bar. We came a day before Christmas Eve and they had karaoke night. The vibes were fun and the flights were good, and strong. We got some food as well, I enjoyed the pretzel to help absorb the alcohol. Not a fan of the tots...I think it needs salsa or more sauce. The service was great. read more

This is a cool little spot to check out for either boxing or ufc events, grab some food with your friends and have a drink or two or three lol. The place is pretty big with the main bar area at the entrance, an outside patio section and a small bar downstairs. The servers and owner are always friendly and they are pretty good at checking to see if you need another drink. We haven't been to check out a fight in a while but we recently stopped by after a hike on a Sunday to grab a bite to eat. The cool thing about Sunday brunches at Der Wolf is, it isn't crowded and they have a DJ who plays some dope music. As for the food, I ordered the huevos rancheros and a black berry mocktail. The food was delicious and definitely something I would order again. However, I wasn't really feeling the drink. I've never had a mocktail and I had no idea what I was drinking but it did taste exactly like a cocktail with no alcohol. It's not their fault, I'm just not a fan of it. Overall, it's a fun place to hang out and I did notice that some of the table (cloths?) were ripped, so just remember it is a bar. However, the place is clean, people are friendly and you're there to just eat and have a good time (nothing fancy or romantic). they also have a beer pong table in the middle of the place so it's always fun to watch drunk people playing and dancing. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros read more

Waited 25 minutes to get seated and they told us brunch Sunday menu was canceled then proceeded to take an hour to deliver this hate crime.

Okay bar/restaurant in the area! Came by with a friend after a stressful day and it was an okay experience, drinks were good ,but the food was pretty mid nothing specifically stood out to me. Service was also okay it took a little longer than I would have liked for it being empty but I believe the serve might have been alone so I understand. read more

I've came here multiple times I've never have had a bad experience. The security in the front is polite as long as you don't act a fool they do do pat downs on men and do search women. The crowd is usually an older crowd so there's less drama there's a downstairs level for private parties. They do provide food and bar food, which is OK and the drinks are reasonably price. read more

We visited to celebrate my sister's birthday and had made a reservation on Tuesday for Sunday brunch. We were informed that the birthday booth was reserved for our party of ten; however, upon arrival, we were told it had been given to another group. They had no other area to accommodations suit our party size, and we were instead seated in a corner. Unfortunately, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the miscommunication, and the situation was presented as if it were our error. The service declined further from that point. Several members of our group got bottomless mimosas, yet refills were consistently missed. We had to repeatedly approach the bar ourselves, and even then, the drinks were not fully poured. Overall, the level of service was very disappointing. The only positive aspect of the experience was the food, which was genuinely very good. read more

Came for drinks and food and to watch the Dodgers win the World Series in 2024! Good times. Owners are super sweet and drinks are good.

Went to Der Wolf on a Friday afternoon to check out the happy hour menu. The two of us ordered sausage plate, wolf burger and a Hef to share. The Hef was served in a tall beer glass and it's awesome as expected. The sausage plate has 3 types of sausage and they are all way too salty... maybe so people can order beer? We didn't really enjoy it. I ordered the burger medium well but it's more like medium/medium well. The fries were really good though. The Friday afternoon we were there , the whole old town Pasadena was filled with Iowa Hawkeye fans. The bar was understaffed. But it seemed like a nice spot to hang out. read more

Service is good, food is good. Highly recommended. The ambience is friendly. We order chicken wings and Brussels sprouts. The price is reasonable. read more

The ambiance was ok, but the food was terrible. I ordered the chicken wings and I was way too salty. My friend ordered chicken tenders and it came out raw. We then asked the server to take it back but the second round of chicken tenders weren't great either. Overall, wouldn't come back. If you want raw chicken though, this is the place to go. read more

This is my second order from this restaurant, and I was highly disappointed. I ordered a steak, sautéed green beans and garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was too thin pieces of leather the garlic mashed potatoes tasted like they had lemon all over them and the vegetables were undercooked I'll never order from them again. read more

This place is the ultimate Sunday Funday vibe! Amazing DJ, incredible energy, and genuinely great service--Crystal and Jay were outstanding and made us feel so welcome. The fun games, dancing, and delicious food (especially the garlic fries!) took it to the next level. Der Wolf made my birthday unforgettable. Chill day drinking with the perfect mix of '90s, 2000s, and today's hits--music you actually want to dance to. Plus, it's a 49ers bar, which is a huge win! The ambiance is so laid-back and fun, and everyone who works here truly cares about making sure guests have an amazing experience. 5 billion stars! read more

Sports bar with many TVs. We were the first ones to arrive, we made a reservations for 12:45pm. We had the intention to stay and watch the 49ers game but unfortunately we were told that we would have to leave and wait outside because they were all booked for the game. Waiting outside was not going to guarantee us a seat, so we decided to leave. We ordered ceviche which was really good, and the brunch burger. The food was great! Our waitress was nice and the bartender attentive. If you're planning to attend a watch party here, make reservations ahead of time. You'll find a Parking structure less than a half a block down. read more

The service was abhorrently slow and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated, an then the food took almost an hour to arrive. All I ordered was their basic burger I was looking forward to get mimosas with my friends and they cancelled the brunch menu. I won't be eating there again. read more

Best place to watch the Charger game! Love Jay and Desiree they are the best. Food service is fast and definitely no complaints on the service read more

Mixed feelings because I loved the bratwurst and tater tots but disliked my pretzel and Brussels sprouts. I felt the Brussel sprouts had too much sauce and the pretzel was overdone. The quality and freshness of the brat made up for it tho. Love that it was topped with sliced bell peppers. The tater tots were perfectly fried too. Definitely trying the rest of their menu with a brat next time!!! read more

The attitude of the staff. Sat at the bar instead of saying welcome what can I get you. They abrasively asked do you have a reservation. Yes I'm early can I order a drink five minutes later another person asked do you have an appointment we said appointment. They seemed like they weren't happy working there we left and went to another spot down the street bad vibe. read more

I want to start off by saying this is the BEST SERVICE we have gotten at any bar/restaurant, HANDS DOWN! We were there on a Sunday to attend a Chargers watch party in the basement. When the restaurant opened the basement immediately filled up. Melissa M was our server for the entire basement. She was so attentive and gave everyone amazing service. I noticed that not one person down there had a dry cup, she was on top of refills and food orders for everyone. We ordered wings, a giant pretzel and a cheese burger. The wings were well done (per melissa's suggestion) and they were perfectly crisp. The pretzel was delicious and soft on the inside. The beer cheese that came with the pretzel was AMAZING! I wish there was more cheese because the pretzel was really big, there was not enough cheese for the size of that thing. The cheese burger also really really good. We had beers, margarita flight and mexican candy shots. The bartender was also very busy but took time to greet everyone. Drinks were delicious and came fairly quickly. What a great experience!! We have never had such a great experience in a place that was so busy. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!! 10/10 recommend read more

I really like Rathskeller. I've been saying that I need to take my partner since we started dating, and it has been years. Plural. Because Rathskeller never seems to be open. And now she's at the point of doubting its existence. Der Wolf itself is fine. Food is solid, just nothing super special. read more

Oh yesss I had a great Sunday brunch here. It was my friends bday and we had so much fun. The vibe was just amazing! Good dj for sure. Came on R&B day and school reunion and it was good. The music is definitely bomb! They have nice large games to play with and jenga as well. The service was very good and accommodating. It was a party of 8 and they sat us in the middle of the restaurant but we wanted to move to a booth and they let us. They have brunch from 10-3pm and bottomless mimosas until 3. They don't rush you at all and they are very attentive. The food is good for sure! I ordered the salmon and bbq wings and they were very tasty! Fresh and hot too! They also have a downstairs/ basement bar and outside patio. The brunch is in the main dining room, which is def a party place for brunch! Overall, we had so much fun was not a dull moment whatsoever! This is the place you want to come to for a good brunch, and good drinks. This place is good for special occasions and celebrating. I heard Fridays is fun as well and taco Tuesday. They also have happy hour for brunch from 10:00 am til 12:00 pm. Plus having the Yelp app will get you 20 percent off. Now that's what I'm talking about! :) I will come back to Der Wolf of course! Cannot wait to have a good time again :) I want to try more food items on the menu, it's a huge selection of items. P.S. The closes convenient parking is across the street on Holly St. It is street parking and parking lots where you can pay within a block. read more

Group of us came here for my friends birthday. And it was a lot of fun. Just so happens they happen to have a happy birthday sign where we were sitting so we got some great pictures. The drinks were good. My only complaint was that the restaurant bar was not open it. Someone was late so we were waiting outside for someone to come. The food was great. I don't remember exactly what I ordered but I know I enjoyed it and I had a couple of mimosas because I had to drive. I couldn't keep on drinking but it's a cool spot to get your drink on for sure. read more
