Ok, normal Friday afternoon.
Quiet, empty, chill, stinky but, overlooked the smell. I'm fine with rules and smells. We asked what the happy hour specials were as they were posted on the walls but not on the table. Waitress named the specials. Came back with the drinks and said the happy hour prices only apply if you're seated at the bar. Ok..... So, fine. We still want the fried zucchini, French fries and drinks at full price. Fine. I Would have ordered a steak for $25. Not a prob. Just unclear. Then as we get all our food our pal who was wearing a very expensive jacket took it off to eat his "fine dining" burger and is quickly greeted by our very courteous but compromised waitress. She mentioned to our friend he cannot wear sleeveless and that the restaurant would provide a shirt he could wear. Like a "fancy" old timey restaurant. She's saying this all while wearing a sleeveless top herself. We asked her why she gets pass and she shrugged with a grin and was very apologetic. When approached, The sign was mentioned by the manager who pats our female friend on the back, rubs her shoulders and assured her that he meant what the sign said. He says, "men jog out on the street and sweat and women cannot. They can't jog around like that. Men cannot come in and be sweaty." Not sure what that even means but, we came from a museum and were definitely not sweaty or jogging. Meanwhile, his own staff including our waitress, the female bartender and another female customer all wearing spaghetti straps, tank, sleeveless. Only women can wear sleeveless? The manager was actually massaging a young female employee as the news was delivered to us about the sleeves. We quickly finished the mediocre burger and pretty good zucchini, cancel our next round and leave. My advice to this place is a new scent, new manager and remove the sign.
Be the first to ReplyLove The Barkley, we meet in the backroom every three weeks
Love The Barkley, we meet in the backroom every three weeks with our colloquium group. We love our server Corina. She is always cheerful and very positive. The chili is outstanding great burgers and sandwich. But even more outstanding is the service. The place has an old school vibe!
Be the first to ReplyGood ambiance on a Friday night with live music.
Waitress puts bill on table, and I hand her my credit card, waitress tells me cash only. To pour salt on the wound, ATM was broken. Shady McGrady and amateur night rolled into one. Had to go to an ATM. What a buzz kill.
Be the first to ReplyAttending this old, dusty and smelly venue almost made me
Attending this old, dusty and smelly venue almost made me turn back and run out the door. The only thing worse than the smell and the water down. Drinks was the staff and especially the owner. Absolutely terrible people. Rude and ignorant. I did appreciate the one young lady behind the bar. She was trying to do her best. Unfortunately, being anywhere close to this establishment is gonna suck sleazy environment. And after looking at the menu, laughed at the prices and almost threw up at the smell. I would never eat there and I'm not that picky.
Be the first to ReplyAnother Jazz Club Collected! This little fille took herself
Another Jazz Club Collected! This little fille took herself out on a date and of course ended up listening to some Jazz. It was my first time at the Barkley, but most certainly won't be my last. I've been trying to get myself here for the longest time! Its one of the few places that I know does Jazz on a late weekend night (9pm - 1am, Friday -Sunday) and I was excited! After adventuring to a few other places earlier in the night, I was pumped to end my evening with some live music. Pro Tip: Cash Only! But the drinks were mighty affordable ($11) Arrived here around 11:00 and headed straight to the bar. After getting my drink, I headed for one of the gigantic booths. One thing about me, I LOVE A GIGANTIC BOOTH. Although I was riding solo, I can totally see myself here on a date, simultaneously snuggling with a lover and grooving to music. The music was great! Luis Bonilla + Friends played the house down and I loved the energy in the place. Everyone was having a great time! I loved my little visit to The Barkley! I love coming up to Pasadena to listen to good music, The Barkley just gives me another excuse to keep coming back!
Be the first to ReplyIt's a dive (not the good kind).
Food is bad, service is bad, vibe is bad. I'd suggest going to the bars on Meridian/mission. The Barkley is the last stop of the ghetto hood rat bar crawl from el soreno. If that's your scene, by all means. Go for it. It's a dump.
Be the first to ReplyI've driven past this place a million times over the years
I've driven past this place a million times over the years but had never stopped by. Well we came in on a Monday night to satisfy my curiosity and I'd have to say that it was an underwhelming experience. I had expected this to be an old school kind of dive bar place and to be fair it definitely was. I was expecting large stiff drinks at a reasonable price and it kind of was? But it also billed it self as a restaurant, and thats where for me it mostly fails. The menu isn't super extensive its mostly cheap bar foods and also an odd mix of like italian diner? Anyway, its not expensive but most items it definitely adds up real quick because things like fried zucchini is $15 mozzeralla sticks are like $16, wings are like $16 etc. most food items are around $15-20 range. But the portions are quite small for the prices your paying like you get like half a plate of zucchini slices for $15.... you'd get a larger portion at Lucky Boy for half the price. ALso the food is mostly just bland and the sauces are bland. The drinks were serviceable but not weren't particularly mixed well or tasty. They are about $9 each or so. The service was great, but the food and drink were pretty bad for the prices youre paying. The only reason why i'd come back is beecause the bartender said they have live music on weekends, which he said was crackin. So i'm open to that.

Wow! This MF called the cops on me to charge me for my bill even though I was still ordering and enjoying my date night. Exiting bathroom cops told me pay bill and you're banned...who calls the COPS!! Boycott this racist MF...

What a gem! We went on Sunday, 15 Oct to watch the jazz band perform. The staff are friendly and really made us feel welcomed. We got a plate of chicken nuggets for my kiddo who came with us to watch the live music, which were such a hit. Highly recommend their steak dinner

AMAZING SERVICE Family friendly, Great Food, Great Prices! Corina my waitress was Attentive, Sweet, Profesional. Great atmosphere can't wait to host my next business dinner here. LIVE entertainment was a Plus.
Be the first to ReplyTh owner is a freaked out misogynistic, violent, combative,
Th owner is a freaked out misogynistic, violent, combative, horrendous person.There are many many reviews that are hidden that continue to call out the disturbed and combative owner. Assaults, ripping away drinks, throwing money, demanding people to leave, calling the police. Extremely violent, verbally ( and sometimes physically) abusive. I have had women patrons contact me to report they too have been assaulted by this "man". And yet, the business remains open. And why is the South Pasadena Police Dept on speed dial and show up in moments to be this man's back up team? Why are they not addressing the assaults? Why are they allowing this behavior to continue? This is an absolutely reprehensible place and the South Pasadena police should be held accountable. Despicable.Too bad we have to leave even one star on these reviews
Be the first to ReplyGarbage! Literally place was empty for dinner on a
Garbage! Literally place was empty for dinner on a Wednesday, ordered the NY streak dinner and it was ehhhhhh. My dinner came with rice pilaf that was cold and tasted like it was made days ago. The green beans were cold and bland. I honestly think the food at Denny's is better. This place is honestly a better bar and should give up their crap food menu.
Be the first to ReplyWent to see a band play here (The Question).
The place was packed and my friends and I were standing. The venue is cozy and had a good vibe to it. My friends didn't seem to have problems getting drinks, I didn't want to bother with the line at the bar and persons wandering around with the trays I didn't see much. Anyhow I'd go again next time a musician of interest was playing. Oh and don't park at the 24-hour vet next door, obviously you'll get towed.
Be the first to ReplyThis is a big nope from me.
I really want to be rational, but had I not come before the regulars, I wouldn't have been given the time of day. Unless you come here often & take shots with the bartender, this is not the place for you if you expect service in any capacity.It's CASH ONLY, so come prepared or get ready to pay an additional $3+ at the ATM by the bar.If you can math better than your waitress with a few shots in her, I'd recommend you tally your own bill.I see people don't come here for the coffee, but that's ok. Sold out of 50% of the beers on their menu. Fab. Who doesn't love Bud Light? Oh right, me. The pro: their green salsa was good. It's probably from a can, but hey, it works to give flavor to their bland, butter rice, beans & tacos.
Be the first to ReplyOmg! You have to be joking! The place is empty despite good
Omg! You have to be joking! The place is empty despite good DJ's...could it have something to do with the shifting beer prices? One day it's 3 dollars, tonight it's 12 dollars for a bottle of Estrella. Just go down to Griffins of Kinsdale and get a 20 ounce beer for $8.00. And tonight the Aggrolites are playing!!!
Be the first to ReplyExpensive.
Good food. Stingy cocktails. Good service. Cash only (aggravating). Horrible parking. Good live music. Nothing special. Been there, done that, I see no reason to go back, except if my friends' big band is playing there.
Be the first to ReplyThe owner is a creep.
..Rude guy he treat the bartenders like crap..The bartenders still my money the first time i was there..the second time i went even i didn't want to go back.. I was with a friend who invited me over to see a band playing i had a couple of beers at home so when i arrived to the place.. I didn't have nothing to drink.. after 15 minutes a girl walked up to me and say hi can offer you a drink?I said not yet I'm not thirsty right now..but when I'm ready I'll be at the bar and buy it.. she said i understand but you can't be here if you don't order anything i said i will eventually.. she said ok.. old on a minute..then the creepy owner show up to me and say that i had to leave the place..I said ok I'm waiting on my uber ride..he said you can wait for it outside.. ..That's enough for this place..no stars it all creepy Bartenders creepy dracula owner.. creepy crowd..
Be the first to ReplyThis bar sucks Monday-Thursday.
First of all it's cash only. It's 2022, get with the program. It's always dead, the bartenders are usually young girls that don't even look old enough to drink. Also, the owner is a creep and most likely hiring these young girls. Needless to say the drinks suck, yet they have the audacity to be expensive. This type of place should take pride in making cocktails. They should try hiring skilled bartenders. Or if not, maybe don't charge so much? The lights are ridiculously bright for a bar and awkwardly quiet, where you can hear everyone's conversations. Like, maybe play some music? I haven't been there on a weekend in long time, but I highly doubt it's any better. Don't bother with this place.
Be the first to ReplyCash only.
That's the only negative This is a cross between a bar and a nice restaurant in one.Live music is great.Not crowded.
Be the first to ReplyOK little bar completely ruined by an A-hole owner!!! He
OK little bar completely ruined by an A-hole owner!!! He called the police when one of our party danced without shoes on! Power hungry little dick. Ruined our night. 10 posts here with 8 of them bad - mostly due to this guy. Good reason for this. I agree with previous posts - the owner is the worst - STAY AWAY.
