"A semi-secret spot located next to The Ice House, T. Boyle’s Tavern gives off Paddy’s Pub energy from the outside, but inside, it’s a spacious, solid sports bar with everything you could want while watching a game, minus impromptu games of Chardee MacDennis." - kat hong, james montgomery

A nice sports bar that has a lot of screens and drink options. They also serve decent bar food for a fair price. The smash burger was pretty good, patty was crispy on the edges and the bun was nice and soft. The bartenders are very friendly, you order everything from the bar as there is no table service. Overall a good spot to watch the game.

Had a good time on a Saturday night. It was quiet with a few people watching college football. Had the pulled pork Sandwich with onion rings (good). The beer was cold. Had two ballast point sculpins. The bartender (Scott) was great and very attentive. Will definitely be back last Friday of the month to see the 80's and 90's cover band.

Very friendly service! I ordered the loaded fries which were delicious! Super good value! Got them with chicken only 10.95 and could easily feed two. A lot of food. Really cool atmosphere. Nice Sports Bar!!!

Great bar to watch sports and hang out with friends. You have to try the pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries and barbecue sauce. The Buffalo Wings and The Buffalo grilled chicken salad are delicious.

Classic "dive" bar. Staff is friendly and hard working. Food is good. Highlights being their smash burger. Good place to chill and unwind.

Nice neighborhood bar with bands. One of Pasadena's oldest bars. Good selection a beers and wines. Bar food is available. Has an interesting ambience, and is a great place to meet up with a younger crowd. Happy hour and drink specials. Parking close by. Alley entrance gives it a unique look. One block off of Colorado Boulevard near South Lake Avenue. Great place to walk.

It's a cool pub, that serves proper pub fare, and classic cocktails with plenty of sports viewing options in a down to earth and welcoming atmosphere. I'll be back.

I'm a bit persnickety when it comes to smash burgers. And even it comes to spicy, I expect it to be just that, without adding more spicy. T. Boyles has the welcoming feel of a neighborhood bar that's hidden with its entry of an alley off N. Catalina and Colorado blvd. Good selection of beers and their smash burgers are great. Judy the right amount of char, great flavor and multiple choices on what it comes with. I wish I hadn't taken my food to go as the workers seemed genuine and friendly. The patrons all seemed friendly as well. I highly recommend grabbing a burger and beer. Place is set to watch the games, with Dodgers baseball coming soon, I may wind up a regular. I plan on going back soon. The place has it. The prices are about average and you do get fries with it, so it's a deal. And they are not a chain so they have that extra vibe. I did notice a wide selection of beers too, so you're not stuck with the basics.

A group of work colleagues and I came to T. Boyles Tavern for happy hour one evening. My first time here by the way. Its location is not exactly on Colorado Blvd. It's more nestled in an alley way. It is very close to the famous Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena. We sat at the tall tables and chairs. Unfortunately, they didn't have happy hour prices for their appetizers which seems odd to me. It's happy hour, right? They did have a special on beer. Anyway, that didn't stop us from ordering food and drinks. As for food, they have starters, burgers & sandwiches, salads, and desserts. As for drinks, they have domestic bottles, craft bottles, import bottles, hard seltzers, wine, beverage, and more. I went all out and got 2 orders of 12 chicken wings each for $21 which is quite steep if you ask me. I asked for 6 wings per flavor... buffalo, sweet chili, mango habanero, garlic parmesan. The wings weren't that big. For that price, you would think the wings would be bigger. Anyway, taste and flavor was amazing though. Perfectly fried and crispy! Sauce was delish!! My favorite was the sweet chili. Yum, yum! I also got a buffalo chicken salad (delicious) plus an order of onion rings (light and crispy)... these were very good! I would order the onion rings again. Another colleague ordered a pitcher of hawaiian or luau blonde (sorry I forget the name). I normally don't drink, but I did entertain one glass of this blonde. It was actually very light and refreshing. Thank you sir for sharing! The lady staff (Kristen) who took my food order was very nice and pleasant. Thank you miss for the amazing service! As for the gentleman who I believe worked here, too, he could improve in offering better service IMHO. Anyway, our group enjoyed the good eats and had a great time. Different sport games were on TV for customers to watch. We caught a basketball game between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers. I'm not a basketball fan, but the game was so enticing and nerve-wrecking at the end... it got me cheering! LOL I probably won't return here by myself, but I would return here with my work colleagues. Let the good times roll!

Location and drink prices are perfect, but there is a crazy sewage smell permeating the place. Strongest by the bathrooms and over the evening it made its way throughout the place, felt like I could chew the air. I think the folks who stayed all night got used it as they marinated the smell. We left and came back and it hit us like a ton of bricks.

Stopped by yesterday to watch the dodgers beat the padres (game 4), and so glad I did. The staff is amazing + very helpful, and the bar is so CLEAN! No really, I've never been to a cleaner bar. This is a great place to grab a beer and catch a game. Will be back!

T Boyles is perfect divey sports bar for Pasadena. There are a bunch of tvs always showing NFL (all the different games), Dodgers, and Big 10 college football games. The staff and owners are so friendly and service is fast. The food is delicious. Tater tots are the BEST in Pasadena!!! Kristen makes a great martini and even though it's a sports bar, they have fresh delicious salads and good Rose and Prosecco. Mimosas are also available!

If you want one of the best burgers in Pasadena then head to T Boyles. Their smash burgers are absolutely delicious. I came to T Boyles with my brother and the two of us ordered a smash burger. I ordered the spicy smash with tater tots. I've eaten their burgers before but it has been a couple of months since my last one. We sat at the bar. When our burgers were placed in front of us we proceeded to eat. Bitting into the brioche buns was like biting into a pillow of flavor. The soft bun, juicy patty, jalapeños, spicy jack cheese and the chipotle mayo all worked in harmony. T Boyles smash burger could go up against any burger in Pasadena. Do you hear that over rated and over priced Pie 'n Burger!

Definitely in the "dive" bar category. Good character, nice layout, plenty of table tops and seats with a nice full bar. Burgers were good, wings were good, tater tots were good. Everything was served hot in temperature, which was noticeable by everyone. I definitely enjoyed the pickled egg, served with some pretzels. You order at the bar and they bring out your food. Service was excellent. Everyone was nice, they have golden tee arcade game, which is always a plus. If you like a full bar and a good selection of beers on tap, and looking for laid back vibe, this is a good spot.

Last time I was here was pre-Covid. I heard that now T Boyles has a full bar. That's right up my interest alley so here I come! Upon entering I noticed a few upgrades, saw my friends the mounted moose and deer heads on the walls. Was a sight for sore eyes! I settled in and ordered a red ale...it was delicious . Abs then followed up with a house margarita chased by an order of buffalo wings with ranch dressing. The margarita was average...no snap, crackle or pop! Just a standard probably pre- made sweet and sour served in a pint glass . An easy to do quick upgrade would be to serve them in a classic margarita glass and switch out the sweet and sour to a skinny margarita made with fresh lemon and lime juice. I like my margaritas in a margarita glass just as I like my martinis in a classic martinis glass. The Buffalo wings xame out surprisingly fast...which raised a flag! One wing later and I thought: hmmm , sauce good, wing size good but undercooked...chewy and rubbery". I requested more cooking time and a few minutes later they arrived done to perfection. They really tasted good slathered in the ranch and/ or Bleu cheese dressing. Order your wings well done to avoid take- backs! I must say that the staff was accommodating and not giving weird looks or attitude! I'll definitely come back to T Boyles!

My friends wanted to meet up at T. Boyles last night for some food and Happy Hour. I could not find a website so I looked on Yelp, my go to for info. While the hours of operation are listed, I could only find this photo of Happy Hour. So, I put on my rain coat and headed over. I arrived sometime after 6PM and the place was almost empty. My friends were at a table with beers. I stood at the bar and after a minute, the bartender came over. I smiled and asked how much longer I had for Happy Hour. He looked at me and matter of factly said, Happy Hour is over. I said that I saw a picture stating Happy Hour was until 7PM and received no reply, just a stare. Had he been friendly or at least made an inquiry, I might have stayed. I stood at my friends table and explained what had just transpired and they suggested we go elsewhere. I found the photo which I posted here and walked over to the bartender who had been talking with a guy standing at the end of the bar. I showed him the photo and said, I just wanted you to see the photo and that I wasn't trying to pull a fast one. Very smugly, he said, that photo is 7 years old. Ok, so it is...does that mean it's no longer valid? You have NO website, the information on Yelp is inaccurate, and the posts on Instagram are old and also have no Happy Hours listed. The is a photo on Yelp of two red pool tables, yet there is an X listed by pool tables. I guess you get enough business that you don't feel the need for a website. Why not update and provide accurate info on Yelp and Instagram? My friends and I came out in really crappy weather to have a good time at your place only to be treated poorly. We left and walked 2 blocks over to Amigo's Cantina where we had great service and spent over $100 on food and booze.

Some guy said this was the best burger in pasadena and i had to make a review. They don't even make the best burgers on the damn block. This place is great for drinks only. Please don't get their food. Everything tastes bland and is either undercooked or overcooked. Even the fries are bad. The chili is inedible, wings are dry, and the burgers meat quality is terrible. On the plus side, the bartenders are nice and the interior is decent. They have a nice selection of beers, though you always have to order at the bar as they dont have full table service. A nice little spot for a drink if you watch sports and don't need to eat. Try a pickled egg as that might be the only good thing on the menu.

We were in Pasadena for the afternoon and we were looking for a place to watch the games. Of course when the name Boyle's came up we had a match. It is a great place to watch sports. They have a dozen tvs and one huge projection screens. The food is quality pub grub. The sliders and patty melt hit the spot. This is a great place to spend a few pleasant hours. The staff and patrons are friendly mostly locals who know. BTW there were 4 other people named Boyle there that afternoon!

Stop by here on a Saturday afternoon while scouting for the Kaiser Vision Essentials building that was supposedly located nearby and on top of that, was also an excuse to use the Metro Rail to gauge the walking distance between the station and both of these businesses. The address notes it as being located on Catalina Ave so I was under the impression that the business 'front' would be facing the street like how the other businesses that line up the corner closest to the Colorado Blvd but it's not. It's actually wedged between a take out American BBQ restaurant and an open air parking lot. On the side of the building that belongs to the same BBQ restaurant is a 12x12 tiny ass logo on the building with an arrow pointing you down this non-descript alleyway. This non-descript alleyway looks like any other industrial alleyway: grey concrete, surrounded by open-ring fences, telephone poles, and random ass vehicles parked on the side closest to the open air parking lot. Once you've walked down far enough, there's a small black signage to your left pointing to a non-descriptive black building where there's a small flight of stairs that you walk down and that's T Boyle Tavern. Once inside, you're greeted with this woodsy, rustic inn type of decor. Front of bar is quite literally directly in front of you as you walk down the flight of stairs. There are several wooden high top tables and chairs just before you reach the bar area. TV's line that entire wall plus to the two sides of the establishment that are tuned into sports. Men's restrooms are to the left 'corner' from the front entrance and women's restrooms are to the right 'corner' from the front entrance. There's a small flight of stairs on the women's restrooms side that leads up to presumably a part of the open air parking lot. Well gins are $6, while well whiskeys and well vodkas are $12. To the right of the bar area are some TV's that lists the beers that they have on tap for the week. They ranged between $6-10. They serve regular food, mostly finger foods like burgers, sandwiches, fries, amd chicken fingers. The menu will be given to you when you head up to the front of bar. I ordered a Bourbon Old Fashioned, a Vodka Soda and a Gin and Tonic. Then I ordered a beer whose name I forgot off the TV menu. I think they tasted fine. They can't make the 'fancier' cocktails because they don't have the ingredients for them so if that's your cup of tea, this is not your spot for that. This is more of a beers on tap with some basic cocktails and well drinks. Ambiance. This place feels like one of those spots that you'd take large groups of friends amd family to watch sports and knock back a few brewski's. It was quite dead in the afternoon save for a few elderly family groups present that were apparently relatives of the bartenders. They take credit cards. Enough said. Service. The male bartenders seemed friendly enough. Parking. I don't normally talk about parking but because this place is located in Pasadena, where there's more parking restrictions relative to other areas, you'd want to know where you can park cheaply or free, ideally. Street parking lining up and down Catalina Ave are two hours max between 9AM-6PM. Any time after that should be free. There's the open air parking lot that is not cheap but not DTLA expensive. I didn't catch a good glimpse of the rates unfortunately but I vaguely recall it being stupid expensive for just a few minutes of parking but if you pay the daily rate maximum, it's in the high single digits. All in all, I think it's better to just take the Metro Rail and take the scenic 20-minute walk over to the place than to drive here, at least during the day time. Not too sure how the area would look later at night. I came away with a pretty positive experience of this place and would probably stop by again to try out their food on my next visit.

It's definitely hidden! You have to go through the alley to find it but once you're in you'll know! Great for game day with lots of TVs. They have a kitchen so there's bar food and upstairs has a ping pong table and other games. Bartenders were just OK on Saturday service could have been better so 4 stars

The place is cool looking. Last owners had more Caltech PEEPS, not much anymore. Don't go for the world cup, it's not that kinda place:( that's more of a Lucky Baldwin's kinda spot (good spot) Food is fine, not terrible. They have a nice beer selection, but not any local breweries.. Bartenders are not too friendly, but they get the job done.

Perfect place to catch a game, they have tons of tv's. The food was really great. It's bar food: the spicy smash burger was delicious and had a nice kick to it. Onion rings were cooked perfectly. I feel like they had a great selection of beers on draft. Superb friendly service; what else do you want? This would be a frequent stop for me if I lived closer.

My husband and I LOVE this bar (especially during football season). Great beer selection, and the ideal atmosphere to watch the game, grab a bite, and have a conversation with friends. The staff has always been pleasant and attentive, and the restrooms always clean. I'm a vegan so I haven't eaten here, but the prices are great! Love taking friends here. It's never too loud or crowded to the point of shouting just to hear. All around awesome bar.

Honestly didn't think much about this place. They have a decent selection on tap but the food really wasn't that good. I got the nachos and it came with pulled pork. The porked pork really really did not go well with the nachos. It was just too sweet. The sliders were pretty good. Basically tasted like poor man's mini In-N-Out burger. I liked the wings even though the color was so light. Not sure if it's because I love wings in general but wings is a must have during happy hour. I also liked the onion rings. It was crispy and delicious. The mozzarella sticks were ok. Not impressed. The chicken tenders were also pretty standard. The tacos were not good at all. It was pretty dry. They had a decent selection on tap. A good range so I guess that's a slight plus. Overall this place was pretty whatever's. One really good thing is that their happy hour starts at THREE!

Planned a wedding afterparty here. We made reservations probably about 3 months in advance. Stopped by about 4 weeks before the event to get a feel for the place. We grabbed some fish tacos and sweet potato fries and enjoyed the Dodger game. The bartender had this air to her- very friendly and caring like a mom you've known for years :) plenty of loyal customers there too, which is saying a lot for 4 pm on a Sunday. The food was delicious and we were super excited to have our event here. Luckily, Troy happened to be there! We got acquainted, and started talking about our plans. We had originally planned to only reserve the top deck but he offered to give us some tables below too. Perfect! Also, we had to pay NOTHING to reserve! And they opened the kitchen one hour later, until 11. so we could all order food. Is this for real?! Anyway, the after party could not have gone more perfectly. There was plenty of food, and people had a great time. They are ***beer and wine only!** Which may be an issue for some, but perfect for us as most people were pretty done with hard alcohol After the wedding :) we ordered a ton of food and capped the night. Hopefully we didn't make too big of a mess! Would 100 percent recommend this place for a relaxed night, an afterparty or even a casual lunch to watch the game. T Boyles is legit!

The mecca and standard for bars not only in Pasadena but all of LA. One of the last places to carry Coors Light on draft in this age of craft beer. Has more TVs than sporting events on at any given time. Ben and Wes are chillers. If you are parking in the lot, be sure to tip the parking attendant as well--he's a good man.

Great bonhomie and beer selection. Consummate sports tavern. Guiness lyre and lies abound. I'd say somewhat legendary. Can't find this in LA and I live there. 10$ special for hot dog/pickled egg and IPA pint. Scrumptious and creative pub food -- say fried pickles for one! Veggie choices too. Impossible choices in a very probable comfortable locale. Brick building. Off alley. Warehouse ceiling with great wooden beams. Upstairs and downstairs with views of TVs. Foosball and pool. Perfect for local sports team hangouts, Trivia nights, local intellectuals and good ole working wisdom abound. WiFi is great and catch up on work if you need! Non ostentatious Rhino and Moose heads square off fifty feet apart twenty feet high, buck heads nodding down on them like the 7 pointed gods they are (no one here shot or stuffed them -- they came with the ancient owners of yore). Classily arranged varied sized TVs for array of sports watching. Main TV is massive. Bose sound system with f'n great jukebox. Beers (modern and wines finely chosen. Ben and Wes (newish owners) are there most days with wonderfully measured service and great memories of "the usual" ! My home away from home as a pub should be. I drive out from LA at least once a week Incredibly unique setting (these days) -- off alley next to famous Ice House comedy club. Not far from Old Town. Try it -- make a night of it -- see a movie down block for 6$ too after or before. Get fine chocolates at Carr's on corner. Southern BBQ on Catalina too. Before you die...! Shut me the F up.

Came here with a friend a few days ago and it's a cool, chill bar. They only have beer ( from my understanding) so that's something to keep in mind! We had the kombucha, which was great alternative since we don't drink much beer. We also had food, the sliders are definitely a winner, and the nachos..eh I had better. Our bartender was also very attentive and came to check on us regularly. Overall very chill place to wind down (or turn up)!

Let me just say that Kristen is the best bartender! Very sweet. On point. We stopped here before AND after visiting the comedy club. We will definitely be back again because of her!

C'mon! Everybody knows this place is the best bar in Pasadena! With the best smash burgers youI'll ever have and slaw so good you'll pass on the great fries and order a double helping. Wes & Ben are keepers of a space so void of pretense that you could show up in your robe, order a drink and no one would bat an eye. Just go! You'll see.

I am a fan of T. Boyle's and have been for many years. It's a no frills type of bar with a chill environment. Prices are quite reasonable($), food is as expected for a bar (average, nothing special), Beer selection is good, and wine selection limited. There is limited street parking but is a parking lot in front which is $2-3 to park. I really like the location of the place, it's in an alley behind regency academy theatre. On the other side of the alley is the ice house entrance. They have pool, shuffle board, and darts for a small fee. On my last visit they said the place had sold and was going under new ownership. I really like the place and hope it doesn't change too much. So far they mentioned some new tv and table changes that will occur. They occasionally have bands that play for a small cover fee and also host trivia nights. If you are looking to grab a casual drink locally in Pasadena I'd suggest giving this place a try!

I swear, I did not even know this place existed, and I know Pasadena pretty well. We found out about this place because of getting tickets at the Ice House. There is a large sign in the back alley, so we decided to grab a drink and a bite before our show. We went in through the alley/back entrance. The service was friendly at the bar; however, you do have to place all orders at the bar -- then go find your seat. The prices were reasonable, the atmosphere was lively and there were plenty of tvs with all different types of games on the screens. Our party of four shared the loaded fries with chicken and the appetizer sampler platter and seemed to be more than satisfied afterwards. I would return here again, if I wanted a laid back place to hang out with friends and watch the game.

Finally! A good spot to catch the game! Last night I was disappointed that My local spot didn't have the sound on for the Monday night football game. But this place did! Hidden little gem tucked in behind the Academy Regency Theatre and Ice House. Place was spacious and clean. I enjoyed the MadeWest IPA. The beef nachos were dry and not very good. Next time I'll try the fries instead. The onion rings were ok. I'll definitely come back for the beer and the games.

T-Boyles is a Pasadena gem with a rich history beyond the current location. This is the spot to get lost with friends, whether or not you arrive solo. Ben and Wes are dope and have done right by the places original vibes, but with a bit of a more modern touch while preserving all that makes this place a must stop no matter your style. It's just a dope spot on the low. Love the Boyle been coming here for years and can't say enough. Try there, Philly cheese steak egg rolls fire!

Made my first trip here last week. It's a classic neighborhood bar with mostly locals. It's in an alley in a mostly residential part of Pasadena... you seriously need to know where it is or you'd never find it. It's at the intersection of two alleys and you cannot see it from any street. The beer selection is quite well curated with good diversity. The bartender was super personable and let me taste several things before I made up my mind. He told me that the vast majority of their customers live within walking distance (as I do). Cool neighborhood/friendly vibe. Not a hipster joint whatsoever... which I love.

Yelp
My only complaint about this establishment is that I wish I would have found it sooner! If you like watching sports, playing arcade games (they have a bunch on the 2nd floor!) drinking good beer, and eating delicious food, this is your place. This is our go-to for NFL Sundays and big college football games. It feels like a giant family. The service is always solid, the patrons are friendly (even when wearing enemy attire!) and seriously - the food is great. Not your average bar food in the slightest. The fried pickles and dipping sauce are to die for, and the buffalo chicken salad is my personal favorite. The chicken always tastes fresh and pretty grease-free for fried chicken. The prices are a smidge on the higher end for a sports bar, but absolutely worth it for the quality. Can't give enough compliments. Keep up the good work crew!

This place is still at the top of my list as far as bars with the Sunday Ticket! It has that homely feel to it and it seems like all of the patrons know each other. The best thing is that it is not as obnoxiously loud as Buffalo Wild Wings and other bars. However, you will encounter some belligerent people, but that is just par for the course when you have good alcohol flowing and some competitive games going on! Michelle and the staff at the place are really friendly and cordial. They are able to keep the refills going and their food is still pretty good. I would recommend the Sampler. It already comes with fries and all you have to do is choose 3 items out of 4 or 5 to complete the bar foodie goodness! Although there is a parking lot adjacent to this place, only recently has there been an attendant taking parking fees. In that case, there is parking on both Mentor and Colorado. Trust me, watching the games here is worth a little extra walk! Another great thing is that they show Dodger games during the regular season (and playoffs, if you don't have cable). So for those important regular season affairs and you have cable/satellite services not named Spectrum and don't want to utilize Reddit (if you know what I mean), you might want to stop by here! Finally, they also host a live band and trivia nights, as well!

OMG. Hidden gem! The selection of draft beers is amazing and the fresh food that is servered. Amazing hidden gem in Pasadena. Great place to play pool, or sit back and watch sports on the multiple tv's, and have a beer or two. Shout out to Devin for the excellent customer service.

OK. The engineer in me is scowling at a perfect review, but this place is just too cool for school. I love the red felt pool tables. Check out The Who's who of beers on tap. I just tasted THE BEST IPA I've ever had: The Just Outstanding from Kern made with that pristine water before it flows into Lake Isabella - the last bastion for the California Golden Trout. They also have 3 (THREE) non-alcoholic beer choices for you thirsty or non- drinkers. This is my new favorite sports bar. I like the way the TVs are situated. The bartenders are cool and friendly. I had to buy the 10th anniversary shirt they were all wearing. The open vaulted 2 story with loft layout works.

Ben and Wes are the BEST! Love supporting T Boyles. The crowd feels local and the games are always on. Loved the veggie Boca burger with onion rings. The frickles; deep fried pickles are bomb! Cheers!!!
