    Such a cool pub. Immediately felt like I stepped into a spot in London. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. The beer list was huge excellent on a hot day like it was today. I didn't try any food but someone in my party tried it and said it was good stuff. Would love to head back someday and get a pint and the fish and chips.

    They’re known for their fish and chips and that’s for good reason. They have a great selection of beers on tap. TV’s inside and out to enjoy whatever games are on. Great place to go with friends or for a drink. Crowd can get loud during sporting events.

    Best pub on the left coast! This place is awesome, friendly staff welcomed us in, recommended a brew to pair well with the food. The food: seriously the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! If your in the area and need some refreshment or a delicious meal - stop in, they will greet you like an old friend!

    Great little pub in downtown Pasadena. Awesome beer selection. I've never had a bad experience there. Last time we went, the kids Chen was closed and the owner came and gave us free chocolates! Awesome dude.

    Good food, but they always have a problem with paying attention to the order details from online delivery orders. Ordered their great fish & chips with coleslaw. The order arrived, and for the second time in successive orders the coleslaw was missing. Three orders ago two items were missing from what the order is supposed to come with. My suggestion is to avoid delivery orders from Lucky Baldwin. If you enjoy their otherwise good food go there in person!

    No complaints. The burger was delicious. A couple of the beers I picked at first were out but there’s a huge selection so no big deal. The service was good. I would eat here again.

    Lucky's Baldwin Pub is located in old Town pasadena. Well I haven't tried the food it looked and smelled pretty decent. Both times I visited the Pub they had rugby on, which was different. The beer selection is the most impressive thing about this place. The Pub carries multiple Russian River beers and other exotic imports I've never heard of, one claims to be the Beer in the world. I gotta try that one next time. The only bummer is it can take a minute to be seen by the bar tender because it's pretty crowded and there's only one of her. Also, no hard liquor! So no Irish car bombs guys! Just brews! Cheers!

    Good atmosphere. Good selection of beers. Service for food was relatively slow but I don't know if kitchen was overwhelmed or something. My chipotle chicken burger was good but not spicy enough.

  • 4/5 Ying L. 9 months ago on Google
    Heard good things about this pub so swung by to pick up some food. Seems like a better sit down place than take out. The vibe is very laid back, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was friendly, service was great. Food itself was decent, though I’d try something else other than the fish and chips next time.

    Watched the Canadian Grand Prix here with a full English that was delicious.

    Great service food wasn't my favorite but atmosphere was amazing, made a huge difference

  • 4/5 David H. 11 months ago on Google
    Ambiance is cool and true to a British pub. The fish and chips is about as good as fish and chips gets. The burger was exceptional. Prices were decent. The food did take forever to come out, and it wasn't very busy, not really sure what happened there. Waitress was very friendly and let us taste a couple of different beers before we bought them.

    Went here for Father’s Day weekend and could not have had a more genuine, memorable experience here. I highly recommend their fish and chips and their chicken curry with rice! Sooo good!!! We sat outside on the patio, so we got a little bit more of the “Pasadena vibe” instead of the pub itself, but still very enjoyable and I loved it!! Really, if you want a little glimpse into English cuisine and some real atmosphere, you gotta try this place out!

  • 5/5 Jim L. 1 year ago on Google
    The hidden gem. Met some relatives there and we got a quaint little table outside. The waitress was very pleasant with a bubbly attitude. Got drinks in a timely manner and food (definitely get the fish and chips) was amazing. A definent go to again.

    Fantastic beer selection and amazing staff. Love the quirky stuff on the walls. Food was very similar to actual British fare... a bit on the bland side.

    Came here for the first EPL game of the season on a Friday afternoon (COYG!) In short, great pub experience. Service: one person serving all indoor/outdoor tables. She must’ve been superhuman because she KILLED IT! She was Abbi Jacobson’s doppelgänger and was extremely attentive. We can tell she was busy but always took the time to check in with us and always kept a smile on her face. She gave us beer recommendations and everything was ON POINT. Ok, let’s move on… I’m obviously her biggest fan. Food: THE WINGS 🤤 my boyfriend and I shared the spicy wings and had to place a second order. Very, very good. And came out fairly quickly. Drinks: extensive beer selection. Great tripels and IPAs. Ambiance: TVs all throughout the pub (indoor and outdoor). Ideal place to watch any sports game.

    I've been visiting Lucky Baldwins since shortly after David opened the original location. Still ... a great place for special beers and tasty food.

  • 2/5 Renette de la T. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice feel to the environment in a cool part of Pasadena. Go for the beer, although they might not have the off brand you're looking for from the menu. The food was a little disappointing from the description to the actual plate and taste, but if you drink enough that doesn't matter. Very attentive wait staff, underwhelming food. When I ordered a beef pot pie, I received a bowl of mostly gravy stew with a puff pastry balanced on top.

    A great local pub tucked away in an alley, surrounded by old buildings. Great laid back atmosphere with excellent food and a beer list that'll satisfy any beer nerd.

  • 5/5 William H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome Lyndon style pub with a ridiculously large draft selection. Fish and chips are also pretty good (moist, flaky, and crispy).

  • 5/5 Dane B. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great Vibe Lucky Baldwin's is. Attentive staff with LAFC Lucky's in attendance. Plenty of seating and viewing angles to watch the matches.

  • 5/5 Mauro G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a testament of how far good service goes. Our favorite little neighborhood bar. Nothing elevated or fancy, but you’ll meet some of the nicest, sweetest, most attentive servers ever! You literally feel like you went to a family gathering. Beers are great. They are always keeping it interesting and fresh with their additions to their beer menu. Super cool and chill spot. Their pretzels and bread pudding dessert are a must have!

    There was a Chelsea vs Liverpool game on when we arrived and the place was packed. So much so that at first they weren't seating anyone else. We were very disappointed because we'd really been looking forward to trying this place out. As we left we noticed a big group leave behind us, so we turned around and went inside, getting a table immediately. The service was a little slow but it was to be expected due to the crowd so we didn't mind much. The food was great (I had the full English breakfast), and the beer selection was expansive. Loved it!

    A great pub; intimate, inviting, right in the heart of downtown Pasadena. On weekends it's a great place to watch Premier League Soccer while enjoying their great service and delicious full English Breakfast. Come in for a pint!
