The Blind Donkey

ANIR

A great bar located in the heart of Old Town, offering an exciting selection of specialty cocktails alongside all the classic drinks you’d expect. I highly recommend exploring their cocktail menu—there’s plenty to choose from, and the drinks are well-crafted. Unfortunately, I couldn’t try the food because the kitchen had already closed by the time I arrived. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and lively without being overly noisy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a drink with friends. My only suggestion would be to add one or two more TVs opposite the bar area for a better viewing experience. Other than that, it’s a fantastic place—high five 🙌 for the cocktails!

No food here but a fabulous assortment of whiskies...top shelf and rare to cheap. Dark and comfy inside abd nestled in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. If you like whiskies then come here. It's within walking distance of a few other bars too: the 35'er, the Old Town Pub, Lucky Baldwins, Rocco's Tavern, Barney's Beanery

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

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.
