    Friendly staff! Affordable drinks! Pool table! Jukebox! Lovely ambience with a chill vibe! What’s not to like! I’ve been awaiting the reopening of my hometown bar and they did not disappoint! Thank you Rancho!

    Love this cozy ranch style little bar. There is always a great crowd and friendly bartenders. Parking on the street but there are lots of spaces and you can see your car from the bar. Prices are good, too.

    Kim the bartender is very rude, and very disrespectful as a hostess and a server to the community. Not a friendly place for handicappers and person with disabilities. Was harassed for parking in handicapped parking. She came to the sidewalk to take my picture. Pressed her KAREN button to the max. Racist

    excellent bar - type food, well-mixed drinks by friendly staff, a nice bunch of regulars- in short, everything one could ask for in a neighborhood bar. The only reason they got 4 stars instead of 5 is that I really wish they would serve food every night instead of just two or three nights a week, and they really should bring in some live music once in awhile.

    Great divey bar. Cheap drinks. Prompt service. Friendly patrons. Lots of cool old posters and memorabilia on the walls of local Californian spots. Nice little outdoor front patio with tables and side seating. Has a Touchtunes jukebox so you can play all your jams from your phone with the app. Great diverse crowd. Also has a back patio and pool table.

    Cool dive bar tucked away. Not much parking on the premises, but plenty street parking and it’s free. Inside the actual bar area is wood everywhere. Then you go to another room and there is a juke box and pool tables. Then go back through a door to a cute outside covered patio area. Please keep in mind it’s a designated smoking area. It has a fireplace which actually keeps it warm. The bartender is super sweet and has been there for a long time. Bathrooms are micros size. Box feel. Overall cool day hangout and for night too. Allot of locals.

    Great little dive. Prices were super reasonable and it had a fun atmosphere. Everyone seemed pretty friendly, no arrogance here at all! Not sure what drinks they're known for, but their mixed drinks were great!

    Probably my favorite local watering hole. Been meaning to come here for years and glad I finally did recently! Everyone here is so friendly most people are regulars that come all the time. I've already been back several times and it's nice to see/talk to some familiar faces already. Drinks here are standard dive bar drinks at really affordable prices. There's often a food vendor in the parking lot. This place gets PACKED on the weekends so come early and order in bulk cuz it might take awhile to get more drinks later!

    Family gathering space. Reasonable prices. Easy to find.

    Nice hometown bar to hang out occasionally. If you're from the Dena area, you'll know just about everyone there. It's a cool vibe and peaceful familiar faces you've grown up with. The Kings taco, burrito, and quesidilla stand outside is absolutely scrumptious. It's a must try! I promise you won't be disappointed. 😋

    I love the Rancho Bar. Friendly atmosphere. It’s definitely a place that makes you feel at home. Awesome people who work there and when they get to know you, you’re family. Gotta go on the night when food is being served. All local vendors along with the crowd who are also locals. I definitely recommend coming here for a relaxing night with friends.

  • 5/5 Cecilia Ramirez T. 8 months ago on Google
    Love the local spot for a fun vibe and affordable drinks. Has an outside patio in front and food trucks or a food vendor is available on various nights.

    My fave neighborhood spot! Gets packed quickly, but a perfect neighborhood “dive”-ish bar.

  • 5/5 Erin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local dive. Make sure to ring the bell if its your first time here!

  • 5/5 Kat E. 1 year ago on Google
    I love Rancho. It's the best bar in Altadena/Pasadena. It's cozy, not over-priced, friendly, and you will always make a friend. Come alone or with a group. Please don't expect gin with lavender infused with honey. But come get a great g &t. It's kinda like a English pub, but with a great personality.

    Great neighborhood bar to meet and talk with locals. Small business owners and professionals across many industries.

    Classic laid back neighborhood bar. Best drinks, beers, best prices, best patrons , best bartenders.

  • 3/5 Helen T. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a really small place. We ended up here after a concert at the park. There's nothing wrong with the place itself but problem was took a while to order drinks and the place wasn't really that welcoming. Great place for local hangout though as they have outside sitting.
