Lucky Baldwin's is by far the best place to stop for a drink in Old Town Pasadena. The beer selection is vast and delicious, and the bartenders and waitstaff are more than happy to guide you through some of the more exotic selections and help you choose a perfect pint. The food is quite good, also - try the meat pies, bangers and mash, and English breakfast. During their Belgian festival, they have quite a tasty menu of Belgian foods as well. The patio is quite pleasant and offers more legroom than the attractive but often crowded interior. Still, there's nothing about Lucky Baldwin's that I wouldn't recommend.
Pros: Great beer, good food, good and friendly service, cozy interior, multiple TVs for sporting events
Cons: Can get really crowded inside and out; Lock on one of the ladies' bathroom stalls has been broken for at least a year
