TIME FOR A PUB CRAWL II!

 

 

We are a week into what is turning into another great Pasadena tradition.  Several of Pasadena’s finest bars, lounges and restaurants will be offering incredible drink specials all week long (i.e. $1 martinis, $2 beers) as well as incredible deals on their gourmet appetizers and their pub food.  This truly is a signature event to get your friends, co-workers and family out for a few drinks.  It’s not just about hanging out with your crew, it’s about taking part in a Pasadena tradition.

I am also happy to report that this year is even bigger than last year.  More venues equal more deals on drink specials and more incredible gourmet bites. So what are you waiting for? Make a call to all your friends and family and have them meet you in Pasadena for Happy Hour Week in Old Town Pasadena.  You can download and review the Happy Hour Week menus offered by each participating venue below.
