Cozy place, had a decent tap selection when I was there. Staff didn’t seem overly beer savvy, but I knew the beers well enough that it wasn’t an issue. The mussels cooked with witbier were tasty. Service a touch on the slow side, probably not the best if you’re in a hurry.

Complete 180 from the Old Towne Pasadena. Clean and way to bright for a beer bar. Seems like they are trying to attract the wealthy folks of Arcadia, Sierra Madre and surrounding areas. The service is pretty bad. The one tall lady is nice, but none of them know craft beer, and they don’t seem to care. When it’s packed, it takes 30 minutes to get a beer, and sometimes 30 minutes to get a refill. They should staff accordingly. The selection is fine, although I think the tap list is catering to the owner Dave more than anything. With so much great fresh local beer to drink, the menu is filled with year old kegs of English Ale for the most part. Also, I believe the lines are dirty, as I had an Urthel Hop it that tasted like dirt. The food is pretty horrible, and even a few beers doesn’t help it any. I will say, the fish and chips are fine, you should go with that, but nothing else really is that good. The prices are fine, and unoffensive to me. Overall, I only go if someone is having a meet up there, but dont go out of my way to visit this place what so ever.

Smaller and cleaner than the Pasadena location. Almost as homey. Wait staff may decide to never come back if you take too long ordering the first round. Seems to draw a more stable older crowd. Lots of the same beers on offer.
