Come On, Get Happy Hour in Old Pasadena This March

Is it quitting time yet? The best part of the end of the workday is smartly known as Happy Hour, when, for luckily often more than just one mere hour, food and drink at nearby watering holes and eateries is made just a little more affordable for our weary souls and wallets.
Starting March 1, if you happen to end up in the 626 in the late afternoon and evening hours, you can partake in 15 straight days of booze and bite specials during Old Pasadena Happy Hour Week.
A number of Old Town dining and drinking spots will be extending their Happy Hours and offering special items at special prices from March 1 to March 15. Some of the venues will also be hosting free musical performances for your entertainment.
The restaurants participating are from all culinary persuasions; crepes, tapas, appetizers, sliders, desserts, and sushi, along with cocktails, beer, and wine, will be available all over Old Town. Prices range from $1-$12 and, like the specific hours, vary from restaurant to restaurant. Each participating restaurant's Happy Hour Week menu, though, is accessible online, so you can plan ahead.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
