Stone Brewing Tap Room - Pasadena

Literally a port in the storm! At Del Mar Metro Station, Pasadena. Very sad that the Luggage Room next door closed almost a year ago. Patio seating available. Good beer and alternative beverages.

A nice beer bar. Stone's beers aren't for everyone, but they have a few light beers and seltzers on tap. Indoor and outdoor seating are nice, although the metro stop next door can be loud

This is an amazing Stone brewing taproom in Pasadena. I absolutely love the drinks and beers, wonderful ambiance and music, and they have really cool merchandise for purchase! They also have board games here. They serve beers in 5 oz, 10 oz, and 16 oz pours. You can get beers to go or growlers here too. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with great food nearby. If you’re in the area, I would definitely recommend checking out Stone’s Pasadena taproom!

Lovely taproom right at the train Depot. (Stone has a penchant for train-side taprooms. Makes sense with all the foot traffic!) Anyway, plenty of space, great staff, and of course wonderful selection of Stone taps. An additional bonus of this taproom is while they carry all the Stone “staple” beers, at least a third of the taps are small batch or one-offs from the Liberty Station and Napa breweries. Growler fills available for almost everything on, and add a great cooler full of bottles and cans, plus merch, this is all every fan of Stone beer needs. (Minus the food). So, bring your own food, relax, and enjoy what this amazing taproom has to offer you. Even Farley the Golden loves it here, so bring your best friend to the patio also!

Service and selection are top notch. The only drawback is parking (I use the del Mar station, but it's paid) and seating is limited. Especially on a holiday weekend like today. But the staff is friendly, patient and the beer is great.

Righteously helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and endlessly unique beers. We’ve visited multiple times during Pasadena excursions, and this is always on our list. Thank you to the staff for always being welcoming, and props to Stone for opening a very inviting atmosphere in Old Town Pasadena!

Drink responsibly and watch your friends and family enjoy a great time. One of the best breweries in the City with a great location to enjoy some cuisine soon after or even before.

Gluten friendly beer! Gluten friendly beer! Lots of different styles as well from stouts to IPAs. Cider and seltzers for options as well. Lots of merch and glasses for sale as well. Bartenders are very helpful and kind. Good experience.

With a couple hours of free time in Pasadena, Stone Brewing Tap Room is a great place to stop for some drinks while getting laptop work done (they have wifi!), read a book, or doomscroll in a beautiful patio space watching comer & goers from the train station. I went solo but they have tables in tons of sizes so group hangs and dates are good here, too! Personally, I love a good people watching spot and enjoyed hanging out at Stone yesterday afternoon. I grabbed a tall two top in the corner of the outdoor patio and was super relaxed. The staff was great, helping me with recommendations and super quick & generous on the pours. I came in to try a 2016 Imperial Russian Stout I saw they had tapped and ended up trying taster size portions of 6 beers - all very solid. I'm biased to love deep cuts so the 10.6% Imperial Russian Stout was my fav of the day but I also enjoyed the lightness of the Stone Wil Power, a 4.5% fruited kettle sour with mango, tangerine and lychee. They have a ton of indoor seating but also the patio is just so nice & relaxing here. Very chill, quiet vibes and they open at 12pm on weekdays. Perfect atmosphere for work meetings or a liquid lunch meetup. Even the bathroom was cool with colorful grafitti abound. I liked the whole vibe of Stone. It's a cool brewery plopped down in the middle of Pasadena! For non-beer people, a Miller Lite is 4.2% in comparison so why not have a much tastier craft beer in place of that swill! Really enjoyed Stone Brewing in Pasadena and it was a perfect experience. I will absolutely be back!

It's been a long time since I've been here! My wife and I had some time to kill before our lunch reservation at Houston's across the street and decided to stop by for a drink. When did they start selling frozen margaritas?! My wife loved hers! She's not so much a beer drinker, so this was perfect! I opted for the Stone Delicious Double IPA and it didn't disappoint. The "beertenders" were also great and offered recommendations from their vast menu of beers on tap. I also noticed that they still also fill growlers, which is amazing! I'll have to bring mine next time so that I can take some home for the ones that aren't bottled or canned. Parking is readily available underground and it was $1 for us being there almost an hour. Looks like parking is $1 for the first two hours and an additional $2 for each additional hour with a $12 max. Also, don't forget to download their app and register - there's currently a limited time promotion for 50% off your first pint!

Stone has a wide variety of beers here at this tap room so there's a good chance you'll be able to find something you like. In addition to the large seating area inside they also have a patio right in front of the entrance & additional picnic style seating in the courtyard area. Great spot to hang out and have a beer in the evening or afternoon. The tap room is also located right next to one of the stops for the Metro Gold line (or whatever letter LA decided to change the name to). I doubt they have a kitchen inside since we saw they had a taco truck catering when we came so I assume you can bring outside food with you or just order from whoever has their food truck here that day.

Always a must stop while in Pasadena ! Staff is always friendly and I love to get a flight and try all the small batch series .

Actually surprised how fun this place was. Another yelp finds and it was good one. Father's Day, which did bring a lot of people out. Plus there was a soccer match happening earlier at the rose bowl. Everyone was out in full force to enjoy the day. We stopped by which was pretty packed when we arrived. All the tables that were shaded were all taken. Only the few that were in the sun were available. Also inside was pretty full and packed. Good sign as it was busy. There was also a vendor on site serving food. Didn't get any but it all did look really good. Sandwiches and nachos. Not sure ifs it's a regular thing or one timer for them. Not only that, there was live music with a piano singer. Which was really nice jamming to him as he took request. The selections of beer were quite nice. Very good amount to choose from. They also had margaritas which was nice. Which I went with the blood orange. Quite refreshing for the hot afternoon. Loads of merchandise on display for sale as well. All the ladies that's pouring the beer were all very friendly. Very patience with everyone especially when they didn't know what each beer was like. Also they did offer some samples to try before picking out what you like. This place was really fun. There's street parking as it's across from the park. And right next to the metro station but you barely hear anything. Service was great. Vibe was excellent and the crowd was fun. Not sure if entertainment was only for father days as well as food. But glad that we found this place. Will for sure be back.

Stone Brewery is three blocks from my place and they have really good beer. They also have WiFi, ESPN, and the Lakers channel so I'm there whenever. They have cool merch too - bought a burgundy cap with their badass logo.

Stone Brewing Tap Room in Pasadena isn't the largest Stone location I've been to, but it offers plenty of beer selections on tap. They also sell merch, pretzels, and to-go beers in cans. Beers here are $9, which is pricey compared to what you'd find at a grocery store, but the main draw is the variety of options available. They also host events like game night trivia, adding to the experience. The space was lively with plenty of people inside. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking is available in a nearby structure. The service was friendly--when I asked for water, they even asked if I wanted ice or no ice. The taproom was very clean and had the typical Stone Brewing aesthetic. They also feature rotating food vendors, like Bomba Yucateco Delicacy, which serves flavors from Yucatán. Overall, this brewery is in a prime location of Pasadena and worth a visit.

We love this spot for a casual beer. Staff are always friendly and quick service even when busy. Always a lot of different options to make anyone happy. Nice patio with a few tables outside which our kids enjoy watching the trains go by. They often have a restaurant come and offer bites on the patio to eat or conveniently can order pizza from next door.

A great little spot to check out for after dinner drinks. It's pretty small but spacious enough for a couple or small group. It's also a great way to try some stone brewing without having to make the drive down to San Diego. Check it out if you're in the area!

My husband and I came for date night. Great service, friendly staff. Beers are good if you're into more of the craft brews. Bonus is they have some cool merch available, too!

First time here! Ordering is a little different, we sat for a bit until they mentioned you have to scan the code on the table. The app places order and keeps your tab open until you close it. REMEMBER to close your tab it stated 20% will be automatically charged if you forget. Which I don't mind since I tip that amount for great service anyway. This a pretty cool spot they have a patio and indoor seating, small snack selection chips, pretzels, candy etc. the staff was friendly . Drinks are cold and tasty, I just wish they had food. You can order from nearby restaurants and bring it in but I prefer being able to sit and order from one place and order throughout my meal service. Overall great place to hang out. We'll be back for sure.

Super disappointing to arrive shortly after noon on a Tuesday and see a note taped to the door that they had changed their hours and wouldn't be open until 2. We checked the website AND called this location (got a recording) to confirm hours before making the trip and both indicated they'd be open at noon. I totally understand a business may need to make changes but let your customers know! Huge bummer to drive to the location and find it closed. Unfortunately our schedule didn't allow for us to stick around for 2 hours and wait. 3 stars because we didn't actually get to try any of their beers. They might be great!

Thanks for a fun trivia night! Came here with a group one Wednesday to play some trivia and it was quite fun. They have two sessions in case you miss the first or want a second chance to win it. We did win the first round and second in the next round. The drinks are a fair price. I just got a spiked lemonade to sip the whole time. Not sure if they serve food. There is indoor and outdoor sitting with plenty of parking. One thing I wish I known was the trivia winners get money off their bill and we didn't open a tab and paid for our drinks as we ordered them. A better prize would be like next time you come back, one free drink. Or like a giftcard. Then we would come to trivia more often! But I do like the bar feel, the service was good. We ordered from the QR code on the table so I didn't interact much but they bartenders were cool. Highly recommend to stop by with friends. I like that it's a bit quiet here so we could actually talk inbetween rounds!

Love this place. Selina was awesome and had great IPA suggestions. Excellent location downtown.

Stone Brewery gets 5 stars from me because their drinks taste great, their service is excellent, and the ambiance is really cool! They are always playing heavy mental music which matches their aesthetic well, plus I just love metal music. Today I got a watermelon mint seltzer and my partner got a Belgian white beer. We both loved our drinks, and I was really happy they had so many seltzer options because I personally don't like beer. I am gonna have to come back to try their frozen margarita, though. Overall, this is a unique spot with a cool vibe that I highly recommend you check out, especially if you want to grab some pizza on your way out. They are right next to the luggage room, so you really can't go wrong with stopping by Stone.

If you are looking for a unique beer, this is the place to go. Not only do they have the normal Stone Brewing offerings, they also have special releases. In addition to beer, they also have hard seltzers and a frozen margarita! I had the Delicious IPA and it lived up to its name. There is some indoor seating as well as patio seating. We had a group of 6 people and had to pull a couple of tables together.

I love Stone Brewery and I love that they have a local shop. I'm a fan of their Green Tea IPA (kinda my white whale) but alas it's no where to be found. I'm a patient man so I'll wait. In the meantime there's plenty of other beers to be sampled and the tap room has many to try.

Great beer and Great service! Very friendly group, a nice change from the "hospitality" i've experienced thus far since moving to Pasadena

Wish I lived closer or I would be here a ton! Great selection of core and rotating taps. Nice merch section and take home selection as well. Pleasure to meet Mike and the rest of the team; I'll definitely be back.

Micheladas good, frozen margarita is a little too sweet, hazy ipa was good too. Overall a nice place to hang and drink and watch the game. You can order from the pizza place next door to eat as well.

A great place to chill-out! If you are looking for a place to shoot the breeze and get your buzz on, this place is it! Stone Brewery, a San Diego based brewery, offers a great variety of amazing tasting IPAs; and if you are not familiar with this brand, stop in here! You'll be able to sample a few brews and find you new favorite beer! There is nothing complicated with this location. It's a simple, clean, well air conditioned place to stop in and chat it up with friends while listening to some heavy metal. There is also a nice selection of Stone Brewery merchandise. What you see is what you get. I really enjoyed my visit here. I have been drinking Stone for years now and am familiar with much if they drinks from visits to Bevmo, and other like places... HERE, however, I was able to try 2-3 additional beers that I have not previously tried. TIP: If you are looking to try the Stone Frozen Margarita, order this BEFORE you cave for a beer. Per the staff, the margarita machine is shut down "an hour before" closing... although they will shit it down more than an hour prior to closing. I tried ordering this drink at 5:36 PM the time I visited, and I was told the machine was already shut down. They closed at 7 PM that night.

Went here today to get a little bit of work done in a nice atmosphere during covid. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Tables outside were socially distanced and drink menu was via QR code. I got the Stone IPA, which was great, and also got the salt and lime lager. I think the lager was my favorite, but it's a toss up because they were both good. I also got the deviled eggs which were the best deviled eggs i have ever had in my life. 10/10 delicious! Lastly, the Wi-Fi is great and tables were in the shade, so I was able to be very productive!

Stone brewing tap room is great. The team that works there does an excellent job and knows their beer. The atmosphere is great weather on a lazy afternoon or on a Friday night after a long week at work. The beers on tap are great. You might think that all they have are IPA's but that is not the case. They have a great mix of different styles/types of drinks. While they do not server food there is a great little pizza place next door called the luggage room. They have great wood-fired artisan pizzas. Stone also has pup up food companies that come and server all types of food from BBQ to Asian fare and everything in between. They have local talent that will play music a couple times a week. Go and check them out and tell them David sent you.

My go-to spot to grab a beer! Any time I have to meet someone for some drinks or friends come to town, we always go to Stone! Staff is great, drinks are great, and they always have an awesome food vendor!

This brewery is such a fun place to come and hang out. Staff here are really friendly and efficient. They have great selection of beers and price are reasonable. I may not look like a beer kind of girl, but I will take a cold beer any time. I love the beer here, it is usually smooth, light, balanced and effervescent. Parking here is really convenient; it is next to metro structure, so you can easily find 90 minutes parking for free. If you appreciate beer and like a good time. You would love it here. It is definitely yelp worthy

The bourbon barrel bock was a delicious chocolately brew that hit the spot. Not available in a bottle, this ia a real treat. Nice outdoor seating and 5 oz. options so you can try lots of beers.

So as far as a singular brew tap house, looks like it's the complete Stone selection on draft and bottle. Located by the metro. No big crazy signs. Lots of Stone items and clothing for sale. Friendly staff.

Haven't been to Pasadena in a hot minute. This rating mostly reflects Chispi (pop up vendor). I did have the Watermelon Lime Hard Seltzer and it was actually super refreshing. I strongly advise you guys grab some food from Chispi if you ever come across his pop ups. He's a cultured and experienced chef and brings along local flavors into his creations, he uses high quality ingredients and puts his own flare to every one of his creations.

Had a great time this past Sunday. Such a different experience compared to the Napa location. Yes, this place is a lot smaller and doesn't offer food, but the vibe was great and everyone was very friendly. I was actually surprised they had Micheladas, of course I had to have one. So good!

Really nice kick back place near a transit hub via rail. This is definitely a taster place with many brews on tap in different sizes. Also there are Stone merchandise for sale as well as take-home brews in varying sizes as well. In door and outdoor seating and really clean. Service is decent, I've seen probably students take the helm at various points. They ask you what you want and serve, no frills. If you're a fan of their brews, then this is for you!

Great train stop and eateries around the location. Great selection of craft beers. Awesome

Came here on a Friday looking for food and a drink. This place in conjunction with the luggage room pizzaria did not disappoint. Since the luggage room was fairly busy and had a wait for a table, my friend and I came over here to get a drink while we waited for our to-go pizza was ready. I got the passion fruit seltzer and it was great! Sweet and gave a buzz. My friend got a beer that was on tap and that was also good as well! It seems that there is live music on Friday night and it was a good atmosphere to hang out. Overall my first impressions were good about this place. I'll be back for sure.

Writing this review in COVID times! We were in the area yesterday trying to eat at either La Grande Orange or Luggage Room, both of which had long waits. We decided to grab beers at Stone and shoutout to our server who was great and accommodating. He explained how Stone has been working with Luggage Room to order food so that people can drink at Stone and still get food. We ordered deviled eggs and goat cheese filled dates which were SO good. I ordered the sour from Stone and loved it, not overly sour but still really flavorful. If you eat at Luggage Room, you can order from La Grande Orange but sitting at Stone, we could only order from Luggage Room. Our server was great in allowing us to go order at Luggage Room so we could get access to the full menu and bring it over to where we were sitting at Stone. They checked on us, brought us water and napkins which was nice. A bit confusing situation but nice to see them being accommodating and flexible.

Really like the location next to the train and convenience to parking below with the exception of occasional non paying customers that hang around. The staff members are great and offer taste test on beers. They partnered with the restaurant next door in case you want to grab a pizza. They also had folks making tacos before. Very casual environment with seating both inside and outdoors.

I went here about a week ago to celebrate a friend's last day at work and had a great time. They have a touchless menu, tables spaced comfortably apart outside and the guy helping us was super fast and polite. We ordered two flights and a second round of single drinks. Because we went at closing we were unable to use the touchless menu and had to go up to the bar, but that's not a problem at all. I'll definitely be here again!

First off I want to say that the service was amazing. Super friendly, bartenders, and very knowledgeable as well. I almost rated it a three star because of the environment. Super bright lights are not very conducive to chilling out and having a beer. The place is kind of sterile and boring. Could use some thing to do like corn hole or something like that. The beer is mediocre and the location needs an update in the way of fun.

I've been to Stone Brewery in San Diego, so when I saw a nearby company store near our hotel, we decided to stop in for a sampler. My guy and I love to start off with a couple samples, so we can try out whatever is new or different. I love the Stone Delicious and Tangerine Express IPA. The delicious has a lemony fresh IPA taste and the Tangerine is citrusly refreshing as well. I loaded up on the hot sauces, as they don't last long in my house. In addition to the Arogant Bastard and Punishment Hot Sauces, they have a green Sriracha that I picked up as well. Love the condiments! Stone is always a solid beer selection, this shop is a nice addition to the area.

Came during covid. Currently (13 Sep 20) on their Yelp page it says they don't fill growlers. This hasn't been updated. They totally do. They only do takeout for beer right now, so you'll have to bring your own g(c)rowler or buy one of theirs. If you bring your own, make sure you check their site on restrictions or call them if you're not sure. Everything is through your phone now. You show up, scan a barcode, make a selection, hand over your growler and then pay. Then they hand back your growler and you're on your way. Not sure if this is covid prices or not, but I got my 64oz crowler filled for about $13!!! With tip, I paid about $15. That's a crazy price. I don't know how they stay in business in Pasadena on that price. And of course the beer is super fresh and tasty.

Stone is still one of my favorite breweries. First time at this location even though they have been here for years. Located inside of the train station plaza. Parking is underground, free for 90 minutes. Small tap room. Busy on Fridays. People are in and out all day with growler fills. Decent amount of seating and standing space inside. Service was great and friendly from the manager. He was really nice. Our bartender was meh, she messed up my growler fill and started giving us attitude afterwards. They have a beer bottles and cans for sale. Small little shop as well, better clothes then San Marcos. I like the Dodgers colored stuff. Flights - $3 each pour - Build your own. 4 oz each. The beers I got were good. Pints - $5ish - Depends on the beer you pick. Growler - $25 - You get a glass growler and a fill. Might cost more depending on what you fill it with. Would have been a 5 if I did not get the attitude at the end. Will be back!

Cool small brewery. I like the location and convenient train across the way. The patio area is great and the indoors is cool. You can also have a bite there which is good for those of you who like an appetizer with your beer.

It all started well. Nice place, good beer. but when you tell me the merch is 10.00 more than marked (on all of them) we have a problem. Manager offered to sell one at marked price if I bought another at the inflated price. (WTF?) These were the Yeti coffee mugs. Stickered at 35.00 and told they had to be 45.00... piss off!

5 stars for being able to order Luggage Room Pizzeria inside the brewery itself! Skip the line at the pizza restaurant and eat directly in the tap room. Love how the pizza comes straight to you. The tap room has a bunch of rotating taps and seasonal flavors, but you can also order a flight if you want to try multiple. Huge fan of their IPAs!

A brewery surrounded by some of the best restaurants in Pasadena, what else could you ask for - add your name to the wait list at the Luggage Room, have some beers at Stone, better yet, get enough beer so you can take some back to the Luggage Room with you and ENJOY. The Stone Tap Room is a great place to kill some time, have a few laughs and try some of the best beers Stone has to offer. IPAs, Hefs, Pilsners, Stouts - and more, reasonably priced and even more delicious. The outdoor patio is a nice place to hang out, have a few drinks and then hop onto the Metro for an adventure, or cap off the night. All in all, this is a great place to add to any night out in old town Pasadena.

Went by to pick up a specialty beer as a gift - USC Fight On Pale Ale. I'm handicapped, using a walker for mobility. When I got there, found the elevator to the store was out of order. I trudged up four flights of stairs to get to the store. When I entered, a management person, Johnny, was very helpful. He carried my purchase to the register, rang it up. Then carried it and my walker to my car in the parking structure. That was way above and beyond the call of duty and was exceptional customer service!

Take Metro Goldline to Del Mar and it will literally put you at the front door! Super friendly staff, great selection on tap. Grab a pizza from The Luggage Room next door and bring it over. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Great outdoor seating area conveniently located next to a pizza place. We were here last Saturday and they had a pop up BBQ stand around lunch time - what a great combo beer and lunch. My husband loves their IPAs and they have a couple of seltzer options for me since I don't drink beer. Personally I'd recommend the mango one. Show up early to grab a table before the lunch rush!

They have been amazing! Especially during the Stay at Home order. We order through Doordash and not only is it still ice cold when we get it, they are all bottled/canned perfectly and they still add the special touch of a sticker and coaster with the order. We were disappointed we can't enjoy the Enjoy By 4/20 or Enjoy By 7/04 at the actual Tap Room but it's awesome that we still get to try the new releases from while at home! P.S. the cheese platters are AWESOME!

No real pics here bc I visited during Pandemic...seating was outdoor which was great...lots of beer options from Hoppy IPAs to a nice Bourbon Stout which went down well! Very well worth a visit if you're looking for a nicely crafted brew and generally friendly barkeeps. Would add we stopped here prior to hopping over to Luggage room for pizza, but they do offer an abbreviated food menu from Luggage room which is decent ( although it doesnt include the avocado festival)...overall well worth a visit if you want a beer and are looking to hangout in an outdoor space....

Saturday, May 11, 2019 (11:45 am) A tasting room only. The beer is actually brewed in Escondido. Great selection of craft beer made by Stone Brewing. I've been here a few times (and Escondido too). Unless you already know that Stone is here, I'm not sure how anybody would know otherwise. It's practically invisible and should be called Stone Stealth Tap Room. They have no signage on the outside anywhere. Nothing to indicate "Stone Brewing Tap Room" nothing posted on their door or window either. Just a tiny little A framed chalkboard sign. With no sign, most people passing by this place have no idea it's here or even what it is. Must be the City of Pasadena and their ridiculous sign ordinances. Either that or the actual property owners won't allow any signs on the building. In any case, it's crazy dumb especially when the business is all about foot traffic coming through the door. The good news is... we're sitting outside on patio relaxing. Beautiful weather right now. My wife is loving her Tropic of Thunder and Little Hammer beer flight. I'm drinking a pint of my usual Stone Delicious IPA. These guys really do make some great beer and for that I give them five stars. Zero stars for the lack of exposure of this location. See my photos below:
