Omg we just found a gem in South Pasadena! Barkley is amazing — they have something like an open mic on Sunday evenings where people can sing, play music, or even dance. The energy is so fun, and the audience is super supportive. The food and drinks are top-notch — everything was delicious and the cocktails were great! Just a heads-up: get there early because the kitchen closes at 8:30 pm. And don’t miss Bonnie’s solo tap jazz dance — she’s incredible! Highly recommend checking this place out!

We came to hear the Sunday night Jazz which was really good. The food and service was sub par. We had the garlic fries and they didn’t taste like anything. Drinks were ok. Service was also ok. We will probably go again for the jazz.

my first impression was that it is quite dark, with all the wood paneling. It is in dire need of a remodel, the booths are torn and there must have been duct tape where I sat, that had rolled up – I thought I was sitting on my purse strap. Too dark to see what exactly it was. The toilet tank is missing the lid.

Quite lively for a Tuesday evening, most looked like “regulars”, and a bit of an older crowd but nice atmosphere. The band was awesome!!! I counted 14 musicians. It would be amazing if there was a dedicated area for the band.

The breading on my fish could have used another minute, to fully cook the breading, but both fish and fries were served hot. And malt vinegar was provided, as well as plenty of tartar sauce.

The customer service was great. The bartender was very friendly and welcoming. The food, not so much. I had the fried fish sandwich with onion rings. The fish didn’t have much flavor, I even tried to add tartar sauce and buffalo sauce. Still didn’t help. The onion rings were good. My husband had the steak quesadilla. The flavor wasn’t there, very bland. The french fries were warm, not hot, so that didn’t help. I had a margarita, not tasty, at all.

They have live music in the evenings, but we didn’t experience that as it was 5:30 PM.

They are a cash only business. They don’t take credit cards.

We wanted to support a black-owned business. Unfortunately, we’re not encouraged to return.

Not a good bar at all. I highly recommend to not come here if you are Black or Brown… Basically if you are not white passing , they will ignore and then treat you in a way that very much feels condescending. It was my first time there and will be my last. The owner also threatened to cut the event performances short if the audience didn’t buy any alcoholic drinks. So that’s also an Important factor to take into consideration ‘bout this joint. They will racially profile you and call the cops on you, Which is what a member from my group unfortunately experienced that night. As the first cop arrived and talked to my friend, the officer revealed that the bar owner often calls the cops on customers who defy his abuse of power (the owner, Frankie De La Torre).

Rude. Extremely rude, specifically Rissa and Frankie. Their behavior last night reeked of racial profiling, mistaking a patron for another then getting upset, and threatening to call the cops when they were corrected not only by the customer but another worker. Other reviews corroborate this btw. Avoid at all costs, genuinely. Food is awful too. Onion rings dry and I was sick when I got home. Couldnt have been the alcohol because I wasnt spending those prices.

My favorite bar in South Pasadena! This is such an unique place with history and style! It is cash only but the food here comes in BIG portions and many varieties of craft beers, cocktails and wine. The best part of this restaurant is their live performances. I cannot emphasize how much I enjoy just sipping my drink and listening to jazz, country, and just artistic performances done by very capable musicians. Not to mentioned there’s usually not a lot of people here either. Bring some cash and come check out this hidden gem in S. Pas

I have not been to the Barkley maybe since Roger passed. We had to go to the vet next door and thought we’d give it a try.
It was good. Good enough that I would go back.
It might not be for everyone and I have read some negative reviews but I still like it..
