Der Wolf

This is my kind of spot! Comfy booths, attentive bar tender, and delicious food. The garlic fries are to die for, so delicious 😋. Enjoyed my standard coors lights, in a huge glass. Great vibe and plenty of tvs to watch your favorite sports. A beer pong table is set up a bit for any takers... There's even a DJ mixing up the sound. I'll definitely be back.

This place is the ultimate Sunday Funday vibe! Amazing DJ, incredible energy, and genuinely great service—Crystal and Jay were outstanding and made us feel so welcome. The fun games, dancing, and delicious food (especially the garlic fries!) took it to the next level. Der Wolf made my birthday unforgettable. Chill day drinking with the perfect mix of ’90s, 2000s, and today’s hits—music you actually want to dance to. Plus, it’s a 49ers bar, which is a huge win! The ambiance is so laid-back and fun, and everyone who works here truly cares about making sure guests have an amazing experience. 5 billion stars!

I came here due to a mixer but wow. The whole bar is a vibe. They have karaoke, great drinks, the service is top-tier. I can't complain. I'd go for every event they have. It was incredible.

I celebrated my birthday at Darewolf in Pasadena and honestly couldn’t have picked a better spot. We came for Taco Tuesday and the $2 tacos were amazing — super fresh, flavorful, and way better than most places charging double. We stayed for karaoke, which was such a vibe. The energy in the room was fun, the DJ kept it moving, and everyone was cheering each other on. Service was 10/10 all night. Our server checked on us constantly, made great drink recommendations, and the whole staff made my birthday feel special. You can tell they actually care about their customers.

An organization I'm a member of booked the bar space for an event and I was very pleased with my time there. Family owned, we'll decorated, prompt service and good food. Happt hour prices were very reasonable, and it's very close to many other shops and restaurants. If I find myself in Pasadena again, I will likely make an effort to go back.

Derwolf has the best Taco Tuesday in Pasadena! The $2 tacos were amazing — super fresh and full of flavor. The vibe on Tuesday nights is great, and the karaoke at 8PM makes it even better. If you’re looking for a fun Taco Tuesday spot in Pasadena with cheap tacos, good drinks, and really good service, this is the place. Highly recommend!”

Found this place just searching the internet. Though the name implies German food, the menu was Mexican centric. Our server was friendly and welcoming and provided us with great suggestions about the food. We had a great experience here! The food was very tasty as ingredients were fresh and well prepared. We all enjoyed our cocktails and entrees. Thank you, Der Wolf, for a great experience!

Incredible! I was trying to book a post-conference happy hour and was really having a hard time booking something in the area that could work. I am so happy I reached out to Der Wolf, because it was incredible! I was coming from out of state so J helped me coordinate everything over email/phone and was amazing! He worked with our budget and was super on top of keeping up with our requests! Huge shout out to Jose and Isa (and happy birthday) as well for being quick and efficient with our orders and managing our crowd. I appreciate y'all and really enjoyed the atmosphere, food and drinks at Der Wolf. I cannot recommend enough that you should spend sometime at Der Wolf!

Great food, amazing service!! Definitely recommend for a fun night out in Pasadena! The staff were friendly and making sure we had plenty of food and drinks!

The ambiance was ok, but the food was terrible. I ordered the chicken wings and I was way too salty. My friend ordered chicken tenders and it came out raw. We then asked the server to take it back but the second round of chicken tenders weren't great either. Overall, wouldn't come back. If you want raw chicken though, this is the place to go.

This is a cool little spot to check out for either boxing or ufc events, grab some food with your friends and have a drink or two or three lol. The place is pretty big with the main bar area at the entrance, an outside patio section and a small bar downstairs. The servers and owner are always friendly and they are pretty good at checking to see if you need another drink. We haven't been to check out a fight in a while but we recently stopped by after a hike on a Sunday to grab a bite to eat. The cool thing about Sunday brunches at Der Wolf is, it isn't crowded and they have a DJ who plays some dope music. As for the food, I ordered the huevos rancheros and a black berry mocktail. The food was delicious and definitely something I would order again. However, I wasn't really feeling the drink. I've never had a mocktail and I had no idea what I was drinking but it did taste exactly like a cocktail with no alcohol. It's not their fault, I'm just not a fan of it. Overall, it's a fun place to hang out and I did notice that some of the table (cloths?) were ripped, so just remember it is a bar. However, the place is clean, people are friendly and you're there to just eat and have a good time (nothing fancy or romantic). they also have a beer pong table in the middle of the place so it's always fun to watch drunk people playing and dancing. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

Great friendly & professional service. Clean, not too dark, fun! With good selection in tap & good food. Great happy hour! I Came to hear Scott Rocco play on Monday night & was pleasantly impressed with the acoustics! Wonderful live performance!

Stopped by on Sunday, 07/06/25 to watch the Mexico vs USA soccer game (Mexico Won!). Grabbed some drinks and my boyfriend got them for free as he apparently had rewards. This is the second time I've been here and this place is super duper special to me :)

Okay bar/restaurant in the area! Came by with a friend after a stressful day and it was an okay experience, drinks were good ,but the food was pretty mid nothing specifically stood out to me. Service was also okay it took a little longer than I would have liked for it being empty but I believe the serve might have been alone so I understand.

I came here due to a mixer but wow. The whole bar is a vibe. They have karaoke, great drinks, the service is top-tier. I can't complain. I'd go for every event they have. It was incredible.

I've came here multiple times I've never have had a bad experience. The security in the front is polite as long as you don't act a fool they do do pat downs on men and do search women. The crowd is usually an older crowd so there's less drama there's a downstairs level for private parties. They do provide food and bar food, which is OK and the drinks are reasonably price.

Service is always great but when my brother and I decided to try the loaded tots... WOW! Definitely did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Went to Der Wolf on a Friday afternoon to check out the happy hour menu. The two of us ordered sausage plate, wolf burger and a Hef to share. The Hef was served in a tall beer glass and it's awesome as expected. The sausage plate has 3 types of sausage and they are all way too salty... maybe so people can order beer? We didn't really enjoy it. I ordered the burger medium well but it's more like medium/medium well. The fries were really good though. The Friday afternoon we were there , the whole old town Pasadena was filled with Iowa Hawkeye fans. The bar was understaffed. But it seemed like a nice spot to hang out.

tonight at Der wolf Pasadena for taco tuesday karaoke was great and the tacos I ordered six tacos 3 chicken and 3 carne asada came out fresh and hot plus the cold modelo plus the staff that work there was nice I will be back for sure next week

Der Wolf is the place to be for any occasion, wanting to catch any sporting event, looking for a place to host your work/birthday event, brunch, hey even just coming by for a drink or some good eats! This is your place, family friendly and good vibes. My fav things here are the Tator Tots, wings and micheladas Friendly staff and great atmosphere

Bartender accidentally made a mistake with our order and gave us the item for free and even offered us a free drink as well. Will be coming back thank you again!

Mixed feelings because I loved the bratwurst and tater tots but disliked my pretzel and Brussels sprouts. I felt the Brussel sprouts had too much sauce and the pretzel was overdone. The quality and freshness of the brat made up for it tho. Love that it was topped with sliced bell peppers. The tater tots were perfectly fried too. Definitely trying the rest of their menu with a brat next time!!!

Went for happy hour... We had a lot of fun. The drinks were good. Definitely recommend the Betty Boop!!

The bar tender even used a sugar cube when making this Old Fashion with Markers Mark. I'm so spoiled from Cap making his great Old Fashion at Yee Rustic Inn

This place is always fun to hang out for Karaoke, happy hour, dancing, live music, etc. The place is small inside and it's like a old school looking bar. The service is good and the food is good. They have different night for various musicians and dancing. They have brunch which is also fun and amazing.

Yup. One of those place. Stand at the bar with your group and get ignored by the two bartenders having a great time chatting with their friends/regulars. Seriously, you were a there laughing it up for three minutes before you looked at the people standing to get seated, food and drinks. Don't come here. Lots of great places nearby where you don't get ignored. Any place giving this place five stars are related to the bar-tenders. I'm from out of town not like all the local hack reviews. Sad all the people who get paid to give good reviews to anything without ever stepping foot in the bar.

I really like Rathskeller. I've been saying that I need to take my partner since we started dating, and it has been years. Plural. Because Rathskeller never seems to be open. And now she's at the point of doubting its existence. Der Wolf itself is fine. Food is solid, just nothing super special.

Sports bar with many TVs. We were the first ones to arrive, we made a reservations for 12:45pm. We had the intention to stay and watch the 49ers game but unfortunately we were told that we would have to leave and wait outside because they were all booked for the game. Waiting outside was not going to guarantee us a seat, so we decided to leave. We ordered ceviche which was really good, and the brunch burger. The food was great! Our waitress was nice and the bartender attentive. If you're planning to attend a watch party here, make reservations ahead of time. You'll find a Parking structure less than a half a block down.

I'm a regular here at Der Wolf. The bartender, Ricky, made me a very nice tropical drink that definitely hit the spot. And let's not forget Taco Tuesday - the tacos are amazing, very delicious. I highly recommend. The dungeon is also nice; it's a little bit more intimate.

Ambience is great, perfect for a pub. Service was great, we had a person named Nadia who was an absolute gem. Drink prices are good and the food was great. Try the ceviche! Crystal the owner also came by our table to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. I'll come back soon.

Group of us came here for my friends birthday. And it was a lot of fun. Just so happens they happen to have a happy birthday sign where we were sitting so we got some great pictures. The drinks were good. My only complaint was that the restaurant bar was not open it. Someone was late so we were waiting outside for someone to come. The food was great. I don't remember exactly what I ordered but I know I enjoyed it and I had a couple of mimosas because I had to drive. I couldn't keep on drinking but it's a cool spot to get your drink on for sure.

It's a great place to watch a game, for sure! There are tv's all around and the vibe is very sporty. They even have a beer pong table set up for those that want to play. My friend was warned that she couldn't bring outside food in, but she's vegan which limits the menu significantly for her. The service was also great considering every table was full. The food came out quickly and our waitress was very attentive.

I want to start off by saying this is the BEST SERVICE we have gotten at any bar/restaurant, HANDS DOWN! We were there on a Sunday to attend a Chargers watch party in the basement. When the restaurant opened the basement immediately filled up. Melissa M was our server for the entire basement. She was so attentive and gave everyone amazing service. I noticed that not one person down there had a dry cup, she was on top of refills and food orders for everyone. We ordered wings, a giant pretzel and a cheese burger. The wings were well done (per melissa's suggestion) and they were perfectly crisp. The pretzel was delicious and soft on the inside. The beer cheese that came with the pretzel was AMAZING! I wish there was more cheese because the pretzel was really big, there was not enough cheese for the size of that thing. The cheese burger also really really good. We had beers, margarita flight and mexican candy shots. The bartender was also very busy but took time to greet everyone. Drinks were delicious and came fairly quickly. What a great experience!! We have never had such a great experience in a place that was so busy. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!! 10/10 recommend

Oh yesss I had a great Sunday brunch here. It was my friends bday and we had so much fun. The vibe was just amazing! Good dj for sure. Came on R&B day and school reunion and it was good. The music is definitely bomb! They have nice large games to play with and jenga as well. The service was very good and accommodating. It was a party of 8 and they sat us in the middle of the restaurant but we wanted to move to a booth and they let us. They have brunch from 10-3pm and bottomless mimosas until 3. They don't rush you at all and they are very attentive. The food is good for sure! I ordered the salmon and bbq wings and they were very tasty! Fresh and hot too! They also have a downstairs/ basement bar and outside patio. The brunch is in the main dining room, which is def a party place for brunch! Overall, we had so much fun was not a dull moment whatsoever! This is the place you want to come to for a good brunch, and good drinks. This place is good for special occasions and celebrating. I heard Fridays is fun as well and taco Tuesday. They also have happy hour for brunch from 10:00 am til 12:00 pm. Plus having the Yelp app will get you 20 percent off. Now that's what I'm talking about! :) I will come back to Der Wolf of course! Cannot wait to have a good time again :) I want to try more food items on the menu, it's a huge selection of items. P.S. The closes convenient parking is across the street on Holly St. It is street parking and parking lots where you can pay within a block.

Der wolf is a family bar. I really like their service and they are welcoming over me Elektricity.

Very bad first and last impression, would not recommend going unless you want to have bad quality food and a server with an attitude; who I guess is the "owner" To start off she came to the table and we requested two waters until the rest of our party showed up. She never came back as if we were not there to order more. Every time a request was made to her she either was annoyed and it took forever to come out ( a beer took about 30 minutes and food took about an hour, mind you it was an order or nachos and one order of wings; which the food was not quality, tacos taste like dog food and nachos were oily pile of chips with poorly made toppings. The lists goes on about the rest of the night but to save you, the "server/owner" should work more on quality control of the business vs ignoring tables as a "server" bad example as a business owner to give bad service, it gave amateur server and not owner.

I stopped by Der Wolf recently, this place has amazing food and service. Especially one of the employees I met there, Ricky he's super sweet and friendly! Along with the other employees as well, service is very good and you feel a really friendly and family vibe. I recommend this place if you're traveling or just looking for something fun and friendly.

I had my wedding rehearsal after party here. We got bottle service and had an open tab all night. Our server, Melissa, was fantastic. We requested the DJ to play hip hop and the manager asked us to pay $50 for the whole night. When we went to pay they told us it would be $50 per DJ?? I guess there were 2 "DJ's" playing that night...we weren't happy but we paid for the vibes. They didn't end up switching up the music and scammed us out of our money. They made up excuses as to why they weren't switching up the music like the "WiFi wasn't working". The music was not it and it ruined the night. I've been here a few times before which is why I chose this bar but this experience put a bad taste in my mouth. Wouldn't return and would not recommend for large parties. Very scammy.

This restaurant surprised me! I went for a few drinks, but ended up ordering tacos. Then I found out that all tacos are $2 on Tuesday! (Except the shrimp tacos, still worth it!) They were flavorful and light but filling! The drink specials all sounded sweet, so I tried the Betty Boop and it was pretty good! I asked about another drink and the bar tender recommended the Cadillac margarita. Order it, you won't be disappointed!! I ordered 2! (I walked back to my hotel!) The bar tenders were friendly, have great recommendations, and made delicious drinks! There is a speakeasy downstairs called The Dungeon. I didn't see it, but there was a private party that evening. I'd def check it out if it was open to the public!

Stopped by here this past Sunday for brunch. At first, it doesn't look like much. But when you walk in, the vibe is chill. My wife and I got here about noon, the DJ was just setting up, and started doing her thang. She was playing some pretty dope old school hits. The staff was nice, a little advice for the waitress.. just be a little more attentive to your guest. A few times, i had to flag her down, she didn't see me. So I had to get up to go ask for something and it wasn't that busy. Like I said just a little advice, as she was very nice when speaking with you. The food came out quick! The food was good, one other piece of advice, I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles were very soft, IMO I think they should have a little crisp to them. But other than that, I still tore em up. The drinks were great. We live 72 miles away. Just took my wife out to have brunch found these place off Tik Tok. We would definitely come back

I came to watch Sunday AM football on a whim and can appreciate this decision. The courteous Staff was attentive and accommodated my requests to customize my experience. The service was phenomenal and drinks were delicious. Desiree and Cherry are the reasons I wouldn't hesitate to visit again. If you're in Pasadena pay a visit you won't regret it

Came here on a Sunday night after rehearsal and we wanted a place to grab food and a drink. This place was so cool and the vibe was so intimate yet lively. They had a beer pong table, connect four and a jumbo Jenga game all set up. And the music was blasted pretty loudly in there so it was pretty hard to hear my friends talk in there. But service was really fast since it wasn't super busy and the bartender was super nice and attentive. I tried the Wolf Burger & french fries and it was pretty good. My friends tried the asada fries, burrito and tater tots. We all felt like it did its job of satisfying our hungry bellies. Would definitely recommend coming here for the vibes to play some games with drinks!

This place is a scam. We went there for Super Bowl Sunday and none of the Super Bowl specials that were advertised online and on Instagram were being honored on top of the fact our waitress although she was by herself, had a terrible attitude about it. It's not my fault, you work for bait and switch This place needs to get out fast so a real business can come in and treat people with honesty and respect

In dire need of nicer ladies! One pair of asian from another plane, were nice at first then her friend was like "no! Can't sit here" when I approached her table! I was BARELY finishing my one and only drink based on this fruitful experience, apparently more socially awkward then me and doesn't like any attention... LA you confusing piece teasing machine just waste of my time as single man This bar should be rated on the cool dark open air interior and with its older vibes and KAROAKE TUESDAY and Sunday nights. $2 taco Tuesday and $10 cocktails are an EASY selling point for me but get used to the "who knows if you can approach while barely starting your drink" will work for you or not ... not for me wo friends on a Tuesday By bye Vietnamese childish cuties

I was looking for German food. Got to this place and looking at the menu, it is a Mexican joint!? Food is mediocre and expensive. Three sausage links for $17 without bread?! The two stars are for OK service and drinks. Pub ambiance. In Pasadena, there are very great places to choose from. I don't recommend it unless they change drastically.

Wow, this place was awesome, first off security was very helpful, and there weren't bullies at all. They seated me very fast and let me choose where I wanted to sit. I was there for the UFC 303 event it was Poppin. I had apatizers which was great in price and drinks. The service was quick and easy to order. I even had two waitresses always asking if everything was ok. Also, there wasn't a bad seat in the house with all the big screen TV screens all around. I highly recommend this place for a good time with friends and a big party. I would suggest more advertising and more signs on the outside because I walked passed it the first time I went by.

Came here to see Nowhere Fast. They do an impeccable job covering The Smiths. Could hear them around the corner walking up to Der Wolf. The bar was packed. Der Wolf has a great selection of flavorful thirst quenching beverages. The service is quick and pleasant. A lot of metered street parking and pay-to-park parking lots in the area. I look forward to returning to Der Wolf

Fun karaoke on Tues and Sun The DJ included my daughter who has Down Syndrom. Thank you! She had a really good time

Went to Der Wolf last week for Sunday Brunch and it was a great experience. Setting was nice and service was impeccable. Everyone ordered something different, each dish looked yummy and was very delicious! I appreciated the fact that they have chicken (mango) sausage and yes, it was delish too. They have televisions all around, so it would be a great place to come watch sporting events. Definitely look forward to coming back again!!

Met some friends there for brunch. The food was good. Our service was okay. Ambience was very sports like. It did get a little loud because of the football games. But that was to be expected. It wasn't my favorite place. But it wasn't the worst. I think it's a good hang out to watch sports. Food wasn't five-star, but very bar like and delicious.

I feel robbed coming here for late night dinner. My friends and I ordered an appetizer platter to share and what had come out was atrocious. It was a platter with raw Brussel sprouts (take a look at the picture attached to this review) a couple of pieces of pretzel, 2 or 3 pieces of chicken strips, and battered coconut shrimp. It was the weirdest combination platter I've ever had. It seemed as if the cook had run out of ingredients and put together a medly of random stuff. The Brussel sprouts weren't even cooked or seasoned! Also ordered a pretzel.... The dough was pretty soft and well salted but what had come out did not look like a pretzel. We came here 45 min before closing so I feel like the cook gave us the mistake pretzel and left over "stuff" and turned it into an appetizer platter. Pretty disappointed with the food. Would just come here for the drinks. We did come here for Halloween as well last year and the decor was pretty cool.

I came here for a bday celebration brunch with some girl friends. I'm glad we came but I would not recommend eating here as the food was not very good. My friends got steak and eggs and the steak was extremely tough. They got a waffle as an appetizer that they enjoyed. I got the the chicken and waffles and it was OK at best. The drinks and the music really made the experience, I would come back for drinks and dancing. The service was good, but the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and it was a busy day. This is not a dressy place, the ambiance gave me bar vibes, I would say this is a casual cute kind of ambiance. It is loud in there for brunch so be prepared, especially if you go after noon. The bathrooms were not clean and there were only two, so I didn't drink much more after using one of them. Also, Yelp said there was parking which is not exactly true. There's a lot across the street on Union which has $10 parking all day on weekends, street parking is metered (if you can find a spot).

Soooo much fun ! Great music ! Game night with Uno and dominoes. Food and drinks were good. Went celebrating my cousins bd. Will go back.

I came across this establishment on tik tok and im glad my sister and I brought out our moms to brunch here the food is phenomenal I never like eating a medium rare steak the pink grosses me out so I asked for it well done and it came medium rare . I will definitely come back for a medium rare steak this is the first chef to get me to LOVE A MEDIUM RARE STEAK . I'm beyond happy with the food . We got eggs Benedict, 2 steak and eggs and chilaquiles everything was 10/10 recommended . We hesitated but I'm glad we chose here we will definitely come back here . We also would like to shout out the waitress J he goes above and beyond for the customers very well spoken and accommodates .thank you der wolf you were good to us.

Love this place... their tacos are delicious and they have a great tequila selection. That being said, it seems more of a tequila-based specialty cocktail/sports bar than a German pub. The only thing German is that they have brats and pretzels. I think a name change would be a good idea to accurately reflect the experience and the vibe... Just my 2 cents. They have tons of games to play and plenty of TVs to watch the games. The bartenders Jorge and Jose are always great and take great care of us. Fav night is Taco Tuesdays... $2 tacos all night long.

Der Wolf was a great place for dinner and drinks with a very friendly ambience, and exciting crowd. The food was delicious: the pretzel was warm and filling, Brussels sprouts were flavorful, and chicken sandwich was perfect. The drinks....omg. The Betty Boop was the perfect blackberry vodka drink. Overall an awesome night at an awesome place

What kind of German Biergarten does not serve German beer? This place! When we made a reservation we asked if they have a variety of beer and they do (but not German) We should've asked what kind... I think it goes without saying they have German beer considering this place is a German restaurant. Atmosphere was great, service was not so great. Our server couldn't answer our questions and did not take the time to even try to find out the answer.
