Lucky Baldwins, 17 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena, Ca. 91105,
626-795-0652

Very casual atmosphere, to casual for me, outdoor patio and inexpensive prices. Lucky Baldwins carries over 60 beers on tap and serves traditional pub food, if you can get a waitress to recognize your existence. The service is really bad. Loud rude mostly drunk patrons. They claim that this is a family restaurant, well I sure would't take my children here.

The fish-and-chips are not to bad for the price but I've had better in numerous better places, and you'll also find bangers and mash, meat pies, and Yorkshire mixed grill. I guess you have to be British to like the food as most of it seemed to greasy and lacked much in the way of taste.

Vintage beer posters and banners comprise the art at this establishment with an old-fashioned wood-planked floor. The premises didn't seem that clean to me and doubt if I would want to take a chance eating there again. By the way, don't use the bathrooms unless it's a dire emergency.

To sum it up, bad service, tastless food, rude drunk customers and not the cleanest establishment but cheap prices and a large variety of beer. I didn't care for this 'pub' and will not be going back.
