Yaaa. I was excited to come here from past reviews but it was pretty disappointing. One bartender / server for a full room (30 to 40 people), 2 cooks – they just seemed overwhelmed, didn’t know the menu & were impossible to get attention of. Definitely won’t be coming back.

Edit: Then I paid with cash and was stopped on my way out saying they don’t accept it (even though they said yes at the bar) & asked me to pay with a card otherwise the server had to cover my bill. How does that make any sense??

Either way, most* definitely not coming back.

Congregation Ale House was a delight! The food and drink names are very on theme and clever. The staff were all very nice. The food was delicious! The pizza crust was fluffy and flavorful, the tots were perfectly crispy, the chicken sandwich was delicious, the pretzel was salty, warm and dunking in the cheese sauce was a chefs kiss. I had the forbidden fruit beer, it was tart, fruity and crisp! Free parking in a large lot, located very conveniently! Would recommend and plan on coming back!!

The first time here and had great service. Came on a Thursday evening and it wasn’t very crowded inside. Sat down my group immediately and the server was very helpful in helping us choose our beers. I enjoyed the On Vacay IPA.

Didn’t even know it was happy hour, but we got our $5 beers and some nachos and a pepperoni pizza for happy hour price. Also ordered the brussel sprouts which were very tasty. I thought the indoor theme and decor was nice. Would definitely come back.

The value for food here is absolutely insane. It is obvious they make most of their money from drinks, which is good for people like me who don’t drink. A double bacon cheeseburger with a mountain of fries for only $22, and let me tell you the burger was massive. Really delicious and the environment gives good vibes with good service. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a decent number of TVs showing sports games.

Decent pub for some good food and drinks. Has events throughout the week. Staff is friendly, food comes relatively fast. They just launched a vegan menu which seems pretty cool, but most of their menu is typical bar food. They don’t have any drinks for non-drinkers unfortunately. Had the Diablo chicken sandwich and the Diablo burger. The sauce wasn’t very spicy, had a sweet tang. Tasted as expected. Fries and tots were good. Solid place for a hangout.

Looking to change up our typical go to spots, we decided to venture out to Pasadena to check out. A local spot that came highly recommended. We stopped at Congregation Ale House and it was a packed house however didn’t have to wait long to be seated and get our grub on. Being that’s it’s a brewery, I opted to try out the specialty beers that they make so ordered a flight. To pair well with my beer selection I order a Philly Cheesesteak and the misses order some nachos. The food was delicious and the beers were heavenly. With a welcoming vibe, this is a spot you can come with your family to hang out and chetch a game or two.

Cool outdoor seating, friendly service, and the food was AWESOME! Had the double bacon cheese burger with fries. Seriously, I don’t know ANYONE who has a big enough mouth to take a bite of this MONSTER BURGER, and the beef patties were like eating a steak! Fries were great, too! A MUST try if you’re in the area.

Atmosphere was kind of a contemporary roadhouse bar and grill. Cathedral ceilings with structural beams exposed. The menus we were given were pretty shot out. The host had neat, new ones in his hand but opted to hand us beat up ones and instructed us to use the QR code. The website was not very phone friendly. we could not zoom in and the text was very small. Our waitress was delightful. the food was of good quality. I had the Diablo burger. It is made from ribeye. Although it tasted great, there was nothing Diablo about it. My partner had the carne asada fries. She described it as bland. I found it to be tasty. We agreed that it was just missing a spicy profile. My partner had the margarita sampler. they were all rimmed with chamoy and tajin. Although they were all tasty, you could tell they were made from syrups from a vendor. For the price, this is fair and expected. I know got photos of the margaritas fresh, and then an aftermath photo. Sorry for that.

We visited Friday night, May 9 2025.

Came here for drinks and appetizers…loved it!! The interior is so pretty! Loved the stain glass art and the arches. Plenty of seating. Great for groups!

The food was great! Larger menu. We tried the sausage platter, the carnitas and truffle fries, and the hot wings. Everything was delicious!!

There is a large drink menu with plenty of beer, wine and mixed drink options. I tried the basil gimlet and the white wine. Both were really nice!

Came here as a 2nd option as many of the other bars/restaurants in the area were closed by 9p. I think because of that, Congregation was pretty crowded with all tables being full. There wasn’t a waiting list or hostess, so had to walk around until you saw someone leaving. It was tough as there wasn’t any standing area to wait without feeling like you were standing over someone’s table. Even the line for the bar ended up standing next to someone’s table. It didn’t take long to find a table though.

After about 10 minutes, was able to hold a table while someone else was in line for drinks. The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful. There was a nice selection of different beers for everyone’s preference on tap. I’d estimate about 25-30 beers on tap. There was a good amount of foods from burgers, pizza, fries, sausage, salads, sandwiches, etc.. to share over some drinks. Can’t remember the names, but tried about 3 different beers on tap, the sausage platter, and nachos. Food was pretty good and not just for pub food. Food was fresh and well-prepared.

Overall, was a good experience. It would be nice if there was an area to stand without standing over someone else’s table, but I understand space is always limited.
