Barney's Limited always comes through in Old Town Pasadena!

I have worked in Old Town Pasadena for over 5 years.  I am a food snob.  This place is definitely not for snobs.  This place is for your average, normal folk, who wants to grab a bite without the upscale BS that the rest of Old Town offers and shoves down your throat.  I check my BS and my snobbery at the door and always leave satisfied, buzzed, and happy.   Only now, I realize that I have had worse service, worse food, and dined with crappier people than I have here.  This place absolutely rocks.

I have had so much beer at this joint that my beer card was almost filled up.  Unfortunately during my last visit they couldn't locate my card and I guess I'll have to start all over to get my name on the wall.   Once you have all the beers they have to offer, including non-alcoholic - you get a little golden plaque on the wall with your name.  Cool!    

They have TV screens for sports.  They have a big bar where you can act like a fool and flirt with the female bartenders or act butch and serious when the guy bartender is working.  This place fills up with the locals and shoppers.  The food ranges from huge wraps with shrimp, to fish & chips, to calamari, to homemade American food, and also some Italian favorites.  They have an amazing happy hour and a long selection of beer in bottles and on tap.  

My recent visit to Barney's Limited with a buddy of mine was a winner again!  I had the Club Sandwich and not only it was huge, but the bacon was perfectly crisp and turkey wasn't dry.  I added Avocado to it and it was heaven on earth.  My friend had the Fish and Chips and it was served with a huge scoop of Potato Salad and some Steak Fries.  

This place always has familiar faces.  The service is superb most of the time.  They are reasonably friendly for being super busy.  Their beer selection is unmatched for the area and they have a big room in the back for parties or meetings.  I have brought up to 15 people there with me in the past.  When shopping at Tiffany's or Diesel, don't think that Cheesecake Factory, Louisses Trattoria, or Kabuki will satisfy you as much as this place will.  For the money, for the food, for the beer, and their tude - go to Barney's Limited.
