"The tiny Boulevard Bar is situated on the eastern side of Pasadena. Crowds pile in to watch weekly drag shows and sing their hearts out at karaoke nights, while sipping on strong, but cheap, cocktails. Under the multi-colored lights, some patrons dance to music playing over the speakers, while others gather around the well-worn pool table. Don’t expect the same fervor of West Hollywood here — it’s a distinctly local experience where, after a few visits, bartenders may be calling guests by their name." - Rebecca Roland
