LIKE IX TAPA CANTINA AND LINDY GROOVE.
The Blind Donkey is
Pasadena’s premier
Whiskey Bar and also

with tons of German
brews, schnitzel and
Bavarian pretzels, along
with a hidden secret bar
downstairs. SIP-tember: a
celebration of the cocktail
culminates at the Taste of
Pasadena in the fall.
After dark, exciting
nightlife ranges from
“hot” jazz clubs and “cool”
comedy at the Ice House
Comedy Club to cultural
performances at the
renowned Pasadena Civic
Auditorium, a beloved
Pasadena landmark
since 1932 that hosts
popular music, television
specials, a distinguished
speaker series and
monthly chamber
music performances
