If you’re planning to get out to a happy hour in the next week or thinking of something different to do this weekend, Old Pasadena’s first ever Happy Hour Week might just be worth the drive—especially because some last all night long! Through March 8, many of Pasadena’s best restaurants, bars and lounges are having some rather amazing food and drink specials. There’s everything from $1 martinis and $2 beers to $3 gourmet sushi and appetizers, plus various venues offer free live music including jazz, world music, and eclectic pop performances.
Here’s a glimpse into some of the highlights: chorizo Argentino at 1810 Argentinean Restaurant; calamari with garlic aioli at Bar Celona; baked mushrooms stuffed with chicken and spinach mousse in balsamic sauce at Café Bizou; potato frittata at Café Santorini; coquina dessert crepe with bananas, melted chocolate and coconut flakes at Crepe de la Crepe; chipotle chicken pizza at IX Tapa Cantina; portabella fries at Neomeze; Kobe beef sliders with blue cheese, lemon basil aioli at Point08 Bar; spicy yellowtail roll at Sushi Roku; truffled mac and cheese at Vertical Wine Bistro and many more!
This Sunday, March 6, Pop Champagne & Dessert Bar will host French singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist Jessica Fichot, as well as singer and pianist Eliza Rickman. Crème de la Crepe will also host live Jazz Friday, Saturday and Sunday as part of Old Pasadena Happy Hour Week.
Cheers!
