We had an amazing experience here! The service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was absolutely fantastic, especially the burgers. We had some special dietary restrictions, and they handled everything perfectly without compromising on flavor or quality. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and even better service.

What a great find! We stumbled upon the Blind Donkey while looking for a drink after a late afternoon dinner. The atmosphere was unique and the place had a good vibe in general. The bartender made the best old fashioned I’ve had in quite awhile and they were very friendly and efficient. Add in the fact that a few locals at the bar chatted us up and made us feel like we’re in our own neighborhood bar and you get an easy 5 stars. If you haven’t already, find your way here for a cocktail and good conversation. You’ll be happy you did!

I came across this bar after leaving a Halloween show in Burbank and wanted to grab a couple of drinks. I found this spot online and saw it had great reviews, so I decided to stop by and I’m glad I did! I ordered a drink called Whiskey Time, and it was amazing. We also had the carne asada fries, and honestly, they might be the best fries I’ve ever had. The place has a really cool, laid-back vibe, feels private, and the service was great. I definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area.

Honestly it’s nice. The bar itself is a little dim. They have corndogs! Lol small menu but good bar food. Bartenders are nice and friendly. I would probably put another TV at the bar but thats just me. Its a hidden gem that didn’t even know existed. Cheers

Great drinks, absolutely fantastic. Process have gone up but where hasn’t it. The security guy is awesome, he’s a character but very nice and sociable. Lots of seating but gets crowded on the weekends. Bartenders know the right mix ratio.

What a fun place to stumble upon! With high ceilings, a Gen X playlist, hand-crafted cocktails, friendly staff with solid recommendations, and tasty bar food, The Blind Donkey has become one of our favorite bars.
The fries and Frito nachos were excellent, but the real stars of our evening there were the cocktails. I especially enjoyed the Nick of Thyme, which was refreshing and not to sweet. Perfection!

Meh bar. If you’re looking for a loudish place with little atmosphere and okish cocktails for a fair price- this will do it. Better than the other two places we checked out but not a great spot by any means. Pasadena, what happened to you? I guess I grew up.

Best bar I’ve been to in Pasadena as of yet. Good music, cool space, tasty beers, and clearly attracts a lively crowd. The bartenders were friendly and happy to help. Expect each beer to run you about $9-$12.
-1 star because you are required to leave your card with the bartender. As opposed to getting your card back with the contingency that if you don’t cash out, they will do it for you at the end of the night and auto-apply a tip, which is what nearly every other bar does (honestly a win-win for everyone),

Great little bar, drinks we’re good and the atmosphere is completely something to experience, great for a hang out, catching up with someone, a date, or just to try a new experience or return for a great memory, definitely enjoyed this bar and would highly recommend to anyone, great location too
