    Ladies and Gentlemen is a speakeasy-style bar located inside the Indiana Colony Market in old town Pasadena. To get here, walk through the building past Wanderlust Creamery and head downstairs. You'll come across a bunch of restrooms but little do you know, one of the restroom doors is actually the entrance to the bar. We called to make a reservation for our large party of 11 but for smaller parties you can make resrvations online at Resy. Once you walk in you'll come across a vintage and modern decor. It has leather-like seats, golden skulls everywhere, celebrity portraits all over the walls, and provocative art pieces. The sand and time ($24) came in a teapot and got more herbaceous the longer the drink steeped. It was good, balanced, and I preferred it when it steeped longer. The old and fashioned ($24) was strong and spirit-forward. The a gentleman and a scholar ($24) came in a beaker and had spice notes from the cinnamon and clove. The cocktails were theatrical and creative in their presentation. For food we had the Japanese milk bread ($10), the new crispy rice ($18), the hot honey pizza ($22), and the caviar parfait ($48) which were all delicious. The milk bread was fresh and came with a sweet and a savory butter and I preferred the latter. Of the food we ordered the crispy rice was my favorite. Overall the bar had cool vibes and great service. You'll definitely pay a pretty penny for the drinks here. It was great with a large party to try the different drinks and ooh-and-ahh when they all come out in their own unique presentations.

    Annoyed because they forgot I had a reservation booked... Also annoyed because the waiter suggested me what ended up being the worst cocktail that we all got which was the berries and flowers. Beauty and the beast was by far the best tasting one. Movies and popcorn was good. Ma and la was good. Coffee and biscuits was a bit stronger than I would've liked. Overall would go back, but I guess just earlier in the night.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our evening out to Ladies and Gentlemen in downtown Pasadena. The ambience is definitely 5/5 with the dim lighting, black and gold motif, and excellent hospitality. Our server was definitely an enthusiast for the food and drink offerings on the menu. I wish I could hear her better over the EDM music playing but I got the gist of it. We were offered three types of water to start with: filtered, bottled, or sparkling. We opted for filtered, which arrived chilled and with a choice of lemon, orange or lime slice, which was a lovely touch. We ordered the Afghani flat bread to start with--it was pretty bland but was a good palate cleanser between cocktails. In contrast, the new crispy rice was super flavorful and had a really enjoyable combination of textures between the rice and the smoked salmon on top. My two drink choices were the Life and Death, followed by the Born and Raised. My husband's were A Gentleman and A Scholar, followed by Angels and Demons. The cocktails here are fun in terms of catchy names and creative presentation. 4/5. Overall I enjoyed the experience and it's a great place to come for a date night.

    Finding Ladies and Gentlemen is intentionally part of the night. Entry starts through the Wanderlust / Pie Hole mini mall. If Wanderlust Creamery is still open, staff can open the door for you; otherwise, you'll need to loop around and enter from the back. From there, you take the elevator down to the basement level, which signals you're heading somewhere off-menu. IDs are checked before you go in, and you're given the chance to use the restroom beforehand -- a detail that makes sense once you see how the space unfolds. A concealed door leads into a dimly lit bathroom, and pressing a flush button reveals the actual bar hidden behind it. It's clever and theatrical without crossing into cheesy. Inside, the space leans dark, moody, and curated, with a strong emphasis on atmosphere. The cocktail program is thoughtful and well-executed -- drinks are creative, balanced, and clearly designed with intention. Cocktails run around $24, with mocktails closer to $20, which is undeniably expensive, but the quality and experience mostly justify the price point. We were also told the team runs two additional speakeasies across the street -- one tucked behind a deli and another concealed wine bar -- which adds context to how deliberate and interconnected the concept feels. All in all, a polished speakeasy that prioritizes experience, design, and well-made drinks. Not an everyday stop, but a solid choice if you enjoy immersive bars and don't mind paying for the novelty done right.

    This and that. Perfectly spicy

    Initially, I headed to Pasadena hotel and Pool's bar, but they were closing early, so the bartender recommended I try out Ladies and Gentlemen. Such a great recommendation! Arrived on a whim at around 9pm. This place is a little hard to find, but if you head to the back of the little food court and take the elevator down, you'll arrive in a mysterious lobby (filled with bathrooms). You give your ID to the impeccably dressed gentleman who checks your ID and guides you to one of the resrtooms. You Press Flush and are magically transported to the inside of the bar and directly to the Hostess at the front. The interior is dark and sexy; Exactly what I want from a speakeasy environment. I was immediately sat at one of the tables and I noticed all the lovely people enjoying themselves. This place is DEFINITELY a spot for couples. If you wanna wow your significant other, come here. Its perfect for that. Me, I was on one of my world famous solo adventures, so I will definitely make it back here on a date. I do wish they had some bar top seating, It would have been better for me, but not every place is solo date friendly and thats perfectly ok. For drinks! I started with the Beauty and the Beast. Fruity delicious and refreshing. I loved it and the presentation. Very instagrammable. Next, I had the This and That - definitely the most interesting of the trio of drinks I tried. Dry, spicy, and with a sesame oil float. Definitely unexpected, but i did enjoy. Finally, I had the Apple and Pie - probably my favorite out of the bunch! It was refreshing, with cinnamon and apple flavors. Refreshing a little like Christmas at the same time. Apparently they make the apple cider in house, which was super cool. Customer service was impeccable! I had a few waiters and they were all great! Nice visit to Ladies and Gentlemen! The drinks were on the pricier side, but with the ambiance and customer service, it was totally worth it. I will definitely be back with a date in tow. This is the sexy little cocktail bar of your dreams.

    Ladies and Gentlemen is such a fun speakeasy in Old Town Pasadena. The entrance is like an escape room that leads you to a beautiful and dark restaurant/bar. Service was spectacular. Our server was so friendly and provided great recs from the huge cocktail menu. Got the Beauty & the Beast and the Man on Fire if I remembered correctly. My friend and I love cocktail bar hopping and we both agreed that drinks were thoroughly made. All the ingredients were nicely blended together into cohesive cocktails!

    Visited Ladies & Gentlemen as a Father's Day treat from my wife, and it completely lived up to the hype. We'd had this place on our radar for a while, and finally made it in. Tucked away beneath the shopping area near Pressed Juicery, it's got full speakeasy energy--the entrance is disguised as a restroom door, and behind it is a bouncer ready to check your ID. Once inside, you're transported. We were greeted immediately and seated at a perfect table for two. The space wasn't packed, which gave us room to settle in and take our time with the menu. We started with an order of oysters (my personal favorite--even got Miori to indulge me), followed by the braised short ribs and a hot honey sausage pizza. Every single dish was delicious and well-balanced, and the portion sizes hit the mark. Of course, the star here is the drinks--this place is known for custom cocktails presented with a little theatrical flair. I went with the "Give and Take" (beautifully done) and a classic Old Fashioned. Solid drinks, great attention to detail. Our server, Michaela, was warm and professional--super helpful and happy to answer questions. The whole ambience was moody, dark, and stylish. Loved the tasteful nude art on the walls and the overall cool, curated vibe. There was a DJ setup in the corner, but no live music during our visit. Still, the background playlist set the mood just right. Highlights: - Speakeasy entrance through a fake restroom door - Great service and zero rush on a holiday weekend - Creative cocktails + delicious small plates - Romantic, dark aesthetic perfect for a night out - Already planning our return to try more of the drink menu

    The pizza and drinks were really good but as beautiful as the ambiance and interior is, I feel like the food was underwhelming for the price and we even found a small worm in out crispy spicy tuna rice which they did end up taking off the tab, but we expected better going in

    Amazing place to visit and enjoy the beautiful nightlife. The drinks are fantastic with the music and foods. Recommended for friends and couples who want to dating.

    We came here mainly for the drinks, and honestly, they were all super creative, really pretty, and totally photogenic. Drinks like the Beauty of the Beast and the Burn XXX really took the dining experience to another level. The flavors were interesting and fun to try, though I wouldn't say they were super smooth. We also got a few appetizers to go with the drinks. Everything looked great when it came out. The potato salad and short ribs were both well-cooked with some nice Asian fusion seasoning. The milk bread was a bit disappointing though. It didn't have much flavor, and the texture was a little dry, not like the soft and fluffy Japanese milk bread I'm used to. The pizza was tasty though, with a nice balance of sweet and savory. The ambience here is seriously something else. It's a speakeasy-style bar with gold skulls and dark, moody vibes that really give it a cool, mysterious feel. We went on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded at all, which I loved. Service was really attentive too. We had a trainee helping us, and it was sweet to see how the team was guiding her and paying attention to the little details. You can tell they work well together and care about the experience.

    Returned for a bachelorette party and the bride loved it! The waiter had great suggestions and the drinks were delicious.

    I just have to say, gorgeous layout. The art on the wall, and the decor. It's dark and alluring. Service was great. It's nice when they offer water, and it's really nice when they offer sparkling water. Drinks were so good. One of my drinks tasted like an apple pie!! So creative when they put a little show for you when your drinks arrive. Definitely will come again! No doubt about it

    I was genuinely so shocked when I walked into ladies and gentlemen! I expected a small cocktail bar, and was met with a large and beautifully decorated restaurant! the entrance to get in was so unique and a fun experience in and of itself (no spoilers though ;)). the menu mostly consists of unique cocktails and a couple small appetizers to add as well. I ordered the milk and cereal cocktail and it came in a super cute milk carton shaped glass and some Cheerios and a small toy on the side. the cocktail itself was clarified, which I didn't expect, but surprisingly, it was very fragrant with the pandan and hazelnut notes! the extra cereal and toy (which is supposed to mimic a toy you find in a cereal box) were an extra fun touch. when talking with our server more, he told us that a lot of the cocktails come in very elaborate and fun presentations and my friend then ordered the burning and man (which came with a super cool fire display). I also ordered the hot honey pizza which was pretty standard for a pizza and was a good snack while we talked and drank. overall, all of the staff there were such a vibe and it felt so fun to be inside there! I will definitely be coming back for special occasions and bringing some new friends to impress :)

    I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .

The burger was great, the tuna tartare was super fresh, the salmon crudo was excellent, and pretty much everything we tried was a hit. You can tell a lot of thought went into both the flavors and presentation. I booked reservations right around 6:30 PM specifically to catch the sunset views from the rooftop, and it was absolutely worth it. The atmosphere up there during golden hour is really nice, especially overlooking Pasadena with a drink and good food. Definitely feels upscale and stylish without trying too hard. Service was friendly and the overall vibe made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening. The only part of the experience that felt a little unusual was the payment process when charging the meal to my hotel room. I was asked to provide ID despite already being a registered guest at the property. I've been staying at Marriott hotels for well over a decade, including higher-end brands and resorts, and this was honestly the first time I've encountered that. I even asked about it and was told it was because sometimes people "forget they aren't guests at the hotel" when trying to charge meals to rooms. The staff member was polite, but the explanation honestly felt a bit odd and made the interaction feel slightly uncomfortable compared to what I'm used to at Marriott properties. That aside, I'd definitely come back. Great rooftop spot for dinner, drinks, sunset views, and a really solid date night atmosphere in Pasadena.

We shared had a Pinot Noir, recommended by our server which was very good. The charcuterie board enough to fill the gap while we waited for our main dinner. Everyone was please with what we ordered. Our server was there but laid back enough to freely enjoy our time without the pressure of being rushed. This restaurant is so cozy and friendly. There is enough outside sitting and they are open to guests dining with behaved pets. The menu had ample variety to please family guests and offer kids menu. They do have delicately prepared chef's special from steak to salads that can satisfy everyone's palette. We decided to have latte and their dessert special lemon mouse paired with a liqueur, it was so good!

We started with a beautiful glass of pinot, light and smooth, the kind that lingers just enough to match the mood. The sourdough arrived warm, perfectly crusted, with butter that melted on contact simple, but done right. Our shared chicken salad was fresh and balanced, with that subtle char on the chicken that adds just enough depth without overpowering the greens. But honestly, as lovely as the food and patio were the dappled sunlight, the quiet hum of a Pasadena afternoon it was her company that made everything taste better, feel softer, and linger a little longer. Some places set the scene. This one just lets the moment happen...

    If you love books, wine, and that cozy intellectual vibe, 1894 is an absolute must-visit in…read morePasadena. This bar is tucked inside Vroman's Bookstore (already one of the most charming and iconic bookstores in the area) so the entire experience feels like stepping into a warm, literary universe. You can browse for a new book, take in the bookstore's atmosphere, and then walk straight into the bar. Honestly, it's the perfect outing. What makes 1894 truly special is how intentionally it celebrates literature. Everything in the bar pays homage to the bookstore. The drink menu is full of clever, book-inspired names. You'll find cocktails like Pride and PearJudice Pride, Fifty Shades of Earl Grey, and other fun literary twists. Every drink feels like a little wink to readers, writers, and book lovers, and it adds such a unique charm to the experience. The vibe is super quaint and warm, dim lighting, and a creative atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The wine is on the pricier side ($19-$21 per glass), but the quality delivers. Customer service was excellent. One of the bartenders spent time chatting with us. He pointed out a chalk artwork behind the bar a dramatic portrait he drew himself featuring expressive, literary-style faces, like Edgar Allan Poe, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, etc. It fits perfectly with the creative, bookish aesthetic of the bar. If you're into books, wine, and unique experiences, 1894 is a spot you absolutely can't miss. Perfect for a date, a solo unwind-with-a-book moment, or a fun night with friends who appreciate a good story and a great drink.

The bar has some great cocktails to try but I went for "Don't be a Prick." Yes, the name alone had me at "hello," but it was a prickly pear margarita which is my fav! I lucked out! It had fresh blueberries in it and was very good! My Yelp sister Nikki went for the same drink, my sister Sam got the Purple People Eater which was rum based with Ube syrup & my sister Hannah ordered a specialty mocktail created by our bartender Lou who was dyno-mite! We enjoyed the music while catching up with each other. Great hang for friends with plenty of tables and bar seating. *There is a quaint courtyard that separates the bar from Mills Alley restaurant which offers a "lite bite" menu to Behind Bars. *Meter street parking & local parking garages

However, it's next door to Edwin Mills by Equator. I met my lovely Sisters B here for Happy Hour. The place gives off friendly neighborhood dive bar vibes. Bartender Lou is fantastic! Friendly, upbeat, & attentive. 5 stars for him. The cleverly named cocktails incorporate unique ingredients such as Ube Syrup, Ube beer, & lime dust. Our drink order consisted of Don't Be a Prick, Moon Rocks, & Purple Peter Eater. Lou was kind enough to create a lovely mocktail for Ms. Hannah. The Purple Peter Eater is a picturesque drink that combines rum with Ube beer and gets its pretty hue from Ube Syrup. The Moon Rocks had a bit of a kick and is a tad on the sweet side. I really enjoyed the Don't Be a Prick, which was a tasty combo of Tequila, Prickly Pear Syrup, & Lime garnished with blueberries. The music can be a bit loud, but there is a quaint courtyard that is shared with adjacent restaurant Mills Alley if you prefer to sit outside. You can also order select food items from there as well. We sat inside and had a great time catching up. It's always a fun time when the Sisters B get together.
