**The Palate Cleanser We Needed ** After our rather disappointing High Tea experience at the Langham, we decided we needed to **cleanse our palates with a few beverages** and headed over to the Tap Room. We had actually tried to get into the steakhouse first, but at 5:30 p.m. they were already booked until 8:00, so the Tap Room it was--and honestly, **I'm glad we ended up there!** The drinks were REALLY good, and the service was just as great. Everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was exactly what we needed after our afternoon tea experience. Sometimes the backup plan ends up being the better plan! **High Tea may have disappointed, but the Tap Room definitely helped redeem the afternoon.** Great drinks, great service, and even better company. I'd absolutely come back for the Tap Room! And thank you to Francis and his excellent service read more

I used to frequent The Tap Room a lot and loved the vibe and the complimentary nuts they provide. I finally brought my husband here and found out they changed the menu. The complimentary nuts were no longer the same and they were just okay. They now have very interesting menu items. I ordered the burger but had to modify i just wanted something simple. It ended up being delicious. I really wanted a salad with it but was told they don't have salads on the menu either. Service wasn't too bad. read more

The Tap Room - Burger, old fashioned drink - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Pasadena, California

What an exquisitely unique experience for a date night. Located i side of the Langham Huntington Pasadena hotel, nestled amidst the tree-lined residential Oak Knoll neighborhood of Pasadena, is the gorgeous cocktail lounge that features lived music on weekend nights. They do not take reservations and it gets pretty busy around 8ish so I recommend you show up around 7:30pm just before the live music starts. The ambience is moody and romantic, featuring deep hues and prohibition era decor, there are comfortable chairs with small cocktail tables and large leather couches for larger parties. The drinks were well poured and very tasty, highly recommend the Huntington for a bold drink that's ideal for the setting. This is a great place for a sexy and intimate date night. The live music was spectacular, some seriously good vocals, and the jazzy and soul selection was again impeccably matched for the ambiance. I enjoyed that all of the guests were dressed nicely, nothing I love more than an opportunity to slip on a sexy dress and heels while still staying local. This is the place if you want a reason to dress up. The food menu was limited and not my favorite but everything else was so unique and satisfying that I can overlook the food not being my favorite. The squash blossoms were very good but not very filling, the beet dip was a bit too sweet for my liking. This will definitely be a nice treat for date night, can't wait to come back. read more

We reviewed the published Menu online from our room and found several appetizers we would like to order. When we arrived at the Tap Room about 6pm, it wasn't too crowded yet. The Music started at 7pm. Much to my disappointment, the Menu offerings were very different from that published online. None of the offerings were appealing, really. We ended-up splitting a cheeseburger (at a ritzy Pub?), really. The snack noshies/nuts were flavorless. The drinks were strong, but very pricey, in keeping with their 5-star rating, I suppose. Our waiter became overwhelmed as the Tap Room filled. I understand. There was a Party of 20 adjacent to our table. It was too hot outside to sit at a table on their lovely patio, so we spent our two+ hours in the hub-bub that was The Tap Room on a Thursday night in the August summer. read more

It was a cool surprise we got our drinks paid for by another customer standing in line in front of us at the bar, so kind of him! Because this is a hotel bar since it's situated in The Langham 5-star luxury hotel, the drinks are expensive like $25 starting. One of my friends got a lemon-based mocktail (pretty good) and I got Cosmopolitan-type cocktail with Prosecco (pretty solid and not overly sweet, just not one of the best cocktails I tried). Another friend ordered Negroni, which is a potent cocktail with a bitter sharp, dry aftertaste. I could hardly taste any hint of sweetness in the drink. My friend thought it was too bitter, too. Honestly, for me it tastes just as bitter as a Manhattan, probably because both cocktails incorporate sweet vermouth. 3 stars for the poor customer service and wait time for standing in line to order drinks. There were 2 or 3 bartenders and they were rushing but also seemed like they weren't efficiently helping customers with drinks in a timely manner. The lounge area was meh (super limited seat spots) and the vibes were bland despite coming here on New Year's Eve. Definitely an older demographic that frequents this bar, not that it's a bad thing, just not our vibe since it would've been more fun if there other people closer to our age, so we decided to bar hop elsewhere after. read more

Had a great time in the taproom. The musicians and the vocalist this night were amazing. Every drink I ordered at the bar was made very well, a testament to the skills of the bartenders. Love the intimate setting and the stylish decor of the place. Will be returning soon! read more

The food and drinks were so worth it! It was nice to have live music and hopefully they can vary with the type of songs played. So much fun for a late night at the hotel. read more

Stopped here a couple of times during the weekend stay. Its a classic bar with good cocktails. I got the Old Fashioned and the Langham 75. Both were great. I love the ice cubes with their logo. Classic hotel bar but with a classy twist, good views and good music. read more

My best friend treated me out for a bday drink here. The ambiance was great. You can sit inside or in the patio. They play lovely music in the background. I was highly surprised that the place was busy on a rainy night. The service was awesome! The drinks were really good and reasonably priced. They have small plates/snacks, no meals here. I would probably skip the nachos next time but the truffle fries were a hit! Also, thank you for my bday dessert. read more

Went here on a Friday night about 8-10pm Rachel was our server. We ordered two martinis with Tito. It tasted like rubbing alcohol. We changed to white wines....Food...ordered sliders they were good! Nice flavor and three sliders were filling. Popcorn chicken was a good portion except dudnt expect the mystery 5 spice flavor to it so sent it back for flatbread pizza. Server didn't explain the portion size well. i actually would order it again! Rachel did not speak up and had to ask us to repeat our orders on the food and took a long time to bring the wines. She said it's hard to hear with the loud music (my reply wanted to say so lean in closer or change jobs!) Best part of the night was the live duo music piNi and singer who sounded terrific and played a horned instrument. Sadly he told me they are getting replaced with a band (sad). read more

Genuinely impressed with this entire hotel, but the tap room really stood out. It feels like a hidden speakeasy with live music, and before the sun fully sets you get some beautiful views through the large hotel windows. We were here for a work event and had a few cocktails, and it was such an enjoyable experience. If you're staying on the property, this is absolutely worth stopping by for a couple of drinks. Great views, friendly people, and an easy walk from your room. read more

Sarah the F&B manager is absolutely amazing.. she was able to go above and beyond and bring me and my guest off menu food items that better fit our diet. Her and Jessica make the TR worth going to!! read more

Came here for a quick drink before dinner plans and the atmosphere here is so nice. The Langham hotel of course is amazing and there's a large window in the bar area where u can see great views outside. I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was STRONG but tasted so good! I was feeling it quite a bit already halfway through the drink. They gave us bar snacks which we finished quickly, and when we asked for more they gave us a whole tray! I would definitely come back again for the drinks and maybe even to try the food! read more

The menu change in the tap room was severely disappointing. Odd and repetitive and overpriced for simple "pub" food. Do we really need two beet dishes? Do we really need a hamburger AND a meat pie with hamburger toppings? We sat down, saw the new menu, and immediately got up and walked out. I don't know what's happening, but its only getting worse. read more

Wow! This place is great! Raul helped us out in the beginning and he was so helpful. Love that jazz music playing well we're sipping on drinks and eating like kings and queens. Every dish was surprisingly delicious. I just thought the drinks were gonna be good, but even better. Really like the cozy vibe, yet fancy decor. I wish I can be here every other night- seriously. read more

Great atmosphere and great music with good food and drinks. Great service too. Highly recommend

I arrived super late at the hotel but still wanted to go and get a drink so I walked over to The Tap Room at 10 o'clock at night and I'm really glad I did. The bartender was super nice and gave me some really good drink recommendations, which I went with. I turned one of the mocktails into a cocktail and that was definitely a move. Prices here a bit expensive, but it was expecting that since it's a hotel bar. Definitely loved the vibe and here and the atmosphere. It was really cute and I definitely would go back and try the food next time if the kitchen is open. read more

Great bar with an old school vibe that is perfect for the Langham. Open seating with comfy couches, tables and outside seating. Because it's in the langham the service is excellent. Although it's at a proper hotel the dress code is casual. On weekends they have live jazz. It's wonderful. read more

We came in for some drinks and quick bites before our Halloween event at the Huntington garden. This lounge is spacious with a very beautiful patio area. A lot of comfy couches all over the place. We chose a cozy couch by the window which was very relaxing. We had vesper martini, sparkling rose, grilled octopus (gf), spicy tuna tartare and smash burger. Everything was very tasty and the portions were perfect for bar fares. They have limited gluten free items on the menu. The service was top notch which lives up to 5 star hotel standards. They were playing Dodgers world series on tv but we couldn't stay and watch. So this is a good place to watch sports too. I really liked our lounge experience, will definitely come back from time to time! Ps. Valet was $15 with validation read more

The cocktails are gorgeous and look delishious but they dont taste that great honestly. Dissapointing. Been here 3 times, ordered a different cocktail all 3 times and couldnt finish, had to switch to plain wine or whiskey. Same with food, it genuniely does not taste good, its okay to pick on the sides with drinks and hang out, but I wouldn't come here just for drinks/food. The vibes are nice though and they always have live music playing. read more

ORIGIN: The Tap Room opened in 2010 as part of an initiative to revamp food and beverage destinations that are available within the hotel. It is named after the hotel's first bar that had opened in the 1930s. LOCATION: The Tap Room is located in the hotel currently known as the Langham Pasadena. ATMOSPHERE: The interior is dark and moody, with leather upholstered seats, cases of books, table lights, and a fireplace. A covered terrace with plush patio furniture offers an alternative environment to enjoy a cocktail, small dishes, or dessert while overlooking the quintessentially Southern California landscape. SERVICE: Service is attentive. On my most recent visit I was introduced to the manager, Stephanie, who was especially welcoming after my delayed arrival from NYC. EXPERIENCE: It is good to see the Tap Room is so popular, including customers who are local residents. During Thursday-Saturday evenings live music can complement the experience. The kitchen is shared with another restaurant in the hotel. Dishes are uneven in execution, but I have identified a high level and reliable combination that is both well presented and prepared: the former Jalapeño Crush, now called Tropical Lightning after roses of the same name in the community's garden ($23), and Spicy Tuna Tartare ($18). The cocktail is composed jalapeño-infused tequila with a refreshing mix of pineapple, cucumber, and lime juice. TIP: The kitchen closes at 10 PM, but nuts are freely available. Discounted parking fee for Tap Room customers. read more

Great service. Came here before a wedding at the same hotel. Great ambiance. We got 2 drinks that were really tasty, but pretty pricey. Nothing I didn't expect from a hotel bar. All in all, had a great time here. read more

This hidden gem of history is located in the most beautiful residential area of Pasadena. My first time here...How did that happen? Never again. This girl will definitely be back. Excellent service from the minute we arrived. *Valet only my friends - $25 or $15 with validation inside The Tap Room. We walked through the gorgeous lobby making our way to the left corridor to the back of the hotel. Once we entered, David greeted us and told us to sit where ever we liked. We had a "Goldilocks" moment...what can I say...we moved 2 x's until we grabbed the sofa by the fireplace which became available! Woo hoo! Our server was the amazing Jorge. We LOVED HIM!!!! Very attentive, friendly & quite frankly sweeter than sweet! Diego also came around to help. He was fabulous too! They brought us water and some yummy snacks. I ordered the "Twilight Zone," prickly pear, lime, tequila and agave. Yum! ($21) My yelp friend ordered "Tropical Lightening," cucumber, lime, jalapeño, pineapple, cilantro, tajin rim ($23). We shared the Truffle Fries ($12) huge serving! And the charcuterie & cheese board ($28). Beautiful presentation! We didn't finish either. Lol. 8:00pm the entertainment started with a very talented pianist. So, the evening was a hit! *Check the website for the "Live Music" schedule. Usually Thursday - Sunday at the Tap Room. *Dress is casual- but that word is not in this fashionista's vocabulary... A little pricey but sometimes the experience is worth the $$$. read more

We had an amazing evening at The Tap Room at the Langham Hotel in Pasadena. Kristiana started our evening with a smile and ended it with a smile. She was wonderful. Her service complimented the beautiful atmosphere and our group had a very memorable experience. I wanted to mention Katie who also helped me with a special request. This place is top shelf and we will be back. Hopefully we get the pleasure of having these two stellar hospitality professionals welcome us again. read more

The Tap Room a nice jazz-themed spot with a cozy, upscale vibe. The live music, classy interior, and atmosphere make it perfect for a chill night out. The drinks are incredible ......I've tried a lot of Old Fashioneds (my favorite drink) at different places, but theirs is easily the best one I've ever had. They also have some delicious appetizers, though I wouldn't come here super hungry since they don't serve full meals. Overall, it's a beautiful, relaxing place to grab a drink, enjoy some music, and unwind. Solid 5/5 read more

On a recent trip to the Langham I visited the Tap Room (twice). I love this bar. I have fond memories of visiting here a decade ago and it didn't disappoint this time around. Francis was my server on both occasions; he was attentive, friendly, and quick service on delivering food; he even remembered my name, which was very nice. On one occasion I had dinner there -- found my new favorite wine (a French varietal) and had their pub burger, which was very yummy. I do want to point out I was traveling with my senior dog, Bella, and she became the life of the outdoor area -- kids, fellow Tap Room attendees, and staff paid her attention and for the first time in a while... she just brightened up completely. When you have a senior dog, it's the little things like this that go along way... Plus, I loved the ambience. Prices are what they are -- you're at the Langham, if you're staying there.... the Tap Room is the least of the cost. I do mean this honestly, I didn't want to go to the Steak House (Royce) and I felt the Mexican spot (forgot the name) might be somewhat limiting because I didn't want Mexican food, which is what I had for breakfast at the Terrace... I really wanted to drink wine, look at the view, and have wonderful conversation. The Tap Room fit this bill... and on the first occasion, I got so much food i had to get a bag for home. If you want quality... it comes at a price. The Tap Room was lovely. I hope to be back one day. :) read more

Whether you're here to stay at the hotel, celebrate an event, or study, the tap room is such a nice place to visit and relax at. I did not have the pleasure of trying their food, but the service was great when I needed to get rosé for my table. The inside seating is amazing and is nothing short of classy. The dress code is relatively casual, but there will be a lot of people that are wearing suits and dresses and just looking really good. You will not feel out of place regardless. read more

Had a staycation at the Langham Hotel so swung by the Tap Room for some drinks. Although they no longer have the happy hour which made the drink prices more reasonable, the quality of service and drinks are still really good. Pearadise | $21 : (Hand-harvested Blue Agave Tequila, Prickly Pear, Lime, Black Lava Salt) - I've ordered this before, and is really my go-to. The bartender made it super balanced and refreshing. It's not too sweet and not too tart either. Jalapeño Crush | $23 : (Hand-harvested Blue Agave Tequila, Cucumber, Jalapeño, Pineapple, Cilantro, Lime) - This was very refreshing. The cilantro and cucumber were used perfectly and the jalapeño gives it a kick, but not too spicy. Spanish Style Potato Croquettes | $18 : (20-month Cured Jamon Serrano, Idiazabal Mozzarella, Brava Sauce) - At first glance, these look like mozzarella sticks but they're actually ham and cheese croquettes. Very tasty, especially with the sauce, and actually quite filling. The atmosphere is really nice with many seating areas. There are bar seats, sofas by a fireplace, chairs, and outdoor seating on the patio. The interior is dark and moody with the dark wooden columns, which takes you back in time a bit. They also have jazz nights on specific days of the week so I would check out their website for the schedule if you're interested. read more

Went here after brunch and tea. They open at 2pm on weekend and it's not busy. We ordered drinks and snacks. I love love love the truffles fries and their dessert. Crème brûlée is different because it's not flan they use it's more like Chocolate and it's not that really sweet. Truffle fries you can taste the truffle and aioli oil. The aioli sauce is really good. Very addicting. Alcohol is actually good very worth it. Ambiance is really nice. Inside very intimate and outside refreshing and view is nice. Costumer service is great. Even though it got busy later on the manager, Marion, check on us making sure everything good. I love places who have great costumer service, it feels like they care for you and what you pay is worth it. Can't wait to go back in here!! read more

The Tap Room at the Langham Huntington is a beautiful bar inside a five-star resort, blending luxury with a relaxed atmosphere. I especially enjoyed sitting on the outdoor terrace.

What I appreciated most is how the space manages to feel casual even within such an upscale setting. A great spot to enjoy a drink. read more

Love this place for drinks. It's in the Langham so you know it's not going to be cheap but the ambiance is great if you want a mellow place where you can actually talk and unwind.
