Interesting little music venue. It's located by the clubhouse and is a part of the golf course. The…read morevenue isn't super fancy but gets the job done. We went to see their jazz night and the dark atmosphere fit perfectly with the music. The music was good and seems to feature local musicians which is inspiring in my opinion. I believe tickets were $15 a person for a table and $10 for general admission. They had a Yelp deal which was for $15 for $30. We went for the table and essentially got 50% off by using their Yelp deal. I wouldn't say sitting at the table is completely necessary unless you're ordering food. The venue is fairly small, and you'll get a good sound wherever you sit. They allow you to order food at the clubhouse which is a nice treat, dinner and a show, ya know. They'll give you a number to place at your table and will bring the food out when it's ready. However, don't expect a full-on server to be present. If you need something make sure you think of it before you're done placing your order. Once you get your food, chances are you won't see that server again. The food wasn't bad. My husband and I split a burger with fries and an order of jalapeno poppers. I don't think people go here for the food though. Overall, it was a nice and reasonable option if you're interested in local music and looking for a weekday night out. Tip They do allow you to bring in your own wine and pay a corkage fee if that's something you fancy.

We came in around 6:30. They had just opened but the atmosphere was ready! Dark and moody with candles on the table, it was the perfect spot to grab a drink and catch up. Jeremy was our bartender and he was fantastic. Super chill and friendly and made us some amazing drinks based on a few preferences. Our "bartenders choice" drinks were amazing, so much so that our "drink to end the night" turned into two drinks and some appetizers. We ordered taquitos and mozzarella sticks. Overall all three of us ladies loved this place! We definitely plan to be back! Let Jeremy make you a drink - you won't regret it. He makes them custom for you and he definitely knows what he is doing. *they do ask for a password which you can request on their website... but I would do that 24-48 hours before you plan to visit. We didn't have that days password and simply asked the front door.

You will need to reach out to the bar via email to get the password, but you can also get a hint from the person at the front. We got our hint and successfully guessed it, gaining entry. The interior has dark lounge lighting with tables throughout. I got the gotham standard manhattan ($16) which was strong and spirit forward. We came right when they opened so it was very empty, but the bartender mentioned it gets really packed and lively on weekends. If I came back and was able to guess the password I'd stop by when it's more energetic for a different vibe.

For my 1st review of 2026, I choose the legendary venue The Lodge Room because it has hosted…read moreeverything from kick ass concerts, to wrestling, and comedy shows that featured everyone from DEFY Wrestling to POPPY and Dave Chappelle through the years of its continuing lifespan. Now, this area is pretty cool all around because they have random stores, bars, grocery stores and restaurants nearby. Parking can be a bitch, but that's life telling you to get to your event a little early. After 9pm, I believe it's FREE. When I saw POPPY perform here years ago right after COVID, it was my first concert here and this place is dope because you're literally so damn close to the artist(s) you watch because the stage isn't too high. The acoustics, bass and all around sound here is NICE for a small, intimate venue. ALL of the workers I've met/interacted with were all so damn nice and helpful as much as they can. This place also has a nice restaurant inside from what I've seen and NEED to check out in the future. I was blessed to even hang out at their Green Room for a gig and it's just so damn cool to know that Dave Chappelle and others have been inside the same room before and after shows!

Saturday nights usually aren't my thing. But a coworker was…read morecelebrating their birthday so I hauled myself out to HP for celebrations. I was expecting to make an appearance, stay the polite amount of time, then bounce. That is not how the night went. At all. Firstly, I was given a Paloma to drink which is very nice. So I was chit chatting and relaxing on the patio with some other folks from work. However, when the friends decided to roll through and we started dancing, that's when the magic happened I hail from the time of yore with folded notes in class and calling for the time on the house phone. I'm old, y'all. So when there's music at a bar, unless it's a flashback night with indie sleeze or other ancient songs, I'm at a loss. I don't know who was DJing that night, but holy shit did that person transcend time and space with the fucking jams. Ranging from 90s house to modern cumbias this dance floor was fucking lit (or whatever the kids are saying nowadays) and we were sweating and dancing our asses off. It wasn't too crowded, the vibes were immaculate and I cannot want to come back with other friends and try again.

You can find dance parties featuring a wide variety of music styles and eras, comedy nights, Drag shows and brunches, burlesque events, Karaoke, and a warm neighborhood atmosphere. There is a back patio that is usually open, and there are vendor events there on most weekends. The staff are awesome as are the security guards. If you live in Highland Park count yourself very luck. If you are from out of town you need to plan a visit. Check out their schedule and get over here!

There were over 10 mahjong tables set up around the venue. They also had a nice selection of vendors, with tacos outside and ice cream inside.

The whole event was incredibly fun and well put together, the ambiance was semi well lit up during the first few hours and then the lights were fully dimmed down for the last hour (during the rave part). The staff was friendly, courteous and professional, some even helped some friends and I learn the basics of mahjong. As for food, I was too busy dancing, talking to people and trying to learn mahjong, so all I had was a soda and it was great. Will definitely be back for any future events. 10/10 venue.

You can see some fun acts here, of course these change everytime the events held. There are several restauants in the square itself so you can dine there and get a good view of the whole thing if you're on the patios of the restaurants. You could also just mingle in the square with other people who will be dancing to the music. Since the square is closed off some of he restaurants had booths out that were serving small bites and drinks. Think spicy tuna handrolls and kirin beers from sushi roku. And there was also another vendor selling mexican food, like tacos as well. Prices were reasonable for these vendors. Like 3-4 dollars a handroll and 5 bucks for a beer or sangria. You cannot take alcohol out of the square. But you could take a flask in if thats how you roll.

KCRW? Never heard of it…read more Name an indie band? That's related to the race car, right? When it comes to indie music, I know virtually zero. I only discovered KCRW's Summer Nights music program after becoming enamored with the band Mr Little Jeans by accident maybe three weeks ago. Free performance in Pasadena? Duh, of course I'll be there! Here are my secrets to success for future shows at One Colorado: 1. One Colorado is a retail block which technically doesn't have an address apparently. Use this address for the iPic Theater instead: 42 Miller Alley, Pasadena, CA 91105. The entrance to the theater opens on the courtyard where everything is set up. 2. I usually park in one of the major structures in Old Town (which top out at $6) because it's easy and I'm lazy. Here's their info: http://www.oldpasadena.org/info.asp 3. It pays to go about an hour early to get a seat up front if that matters to you. Even if you're in the first row, it probably won't mean anything later though (see below). At least you can have some drinks and relax with your friends. 4. Il Fornaio sets up a cash bar in the courtyard. If you want to use a card, walk into the restaurant and order from the bar. Let them know you're at the event so they'll give you a plastic cup instead of glass. 5. Remember I said getting a good seat only kind of matters? For a long time, security was pushing crowds to the back where it was standing room only. At some point they just gave up and everybody rushed up front. You now have a choice to either leave your seat and join them or not. If you want to see the band, the decision has been made for you. Run forward quickly, even if it means you get separated from your friends; they were too slow and that's not your fault. I thought I saw a guy spinning with outstretched arms like Zangief to make a space for himself in the crowd. (You probably shouldn't do that though.) KCRW set up a really fun event and the crew had a blast. We'll definitely return for future performances. Cheers to summertime and beautiful Pasadena!

Seems like a nice place and might come back to try the food.

Not very considerate or consistent communication from their staff.
