"Far from your hometown this year but still want to enjoy the Thanksgiving Eve catch-up drinks? Pasadena’s 35er Bar perfectly distills all the nostalgia, people-watching, and de-stressing necessary for the lead up to turkey day. This sports bar lies in the heart of Old Town Pasadena just off historic Route 66, meaning it also doubles as a great meeting spot. Or approach it this way: After wrapping up your holiday shopping at the stores down the street, stop in for a Jameson Black Barrel whiskey sour and some of 35er Bar’s free, buttery popcorn in their not-so-secret speakeasy. It’s a no-brainer." - Mackenzie Filson
