BRIX 42 - Another Old Town Happy Hour

Brix 42 is another Pasadena happy hour that is near the Metro Goldline.Can it survive?

After YT and Wong finished our MaiKobe sushi and $2.00 beer happy hour, we decided to check out Brix 42.

Unfortunately, this location on Delacey has been the home to many pubs and breweries. None ever seem to last. Like MaiKobe, Brix 42 is a pretty short walk from the Metro, so we thought we'd check it out.

For $3.00, during happy hour, you can try a glass of one Brix's own beers. I tried the Pale Ale, which wasn't bad. Still, I'm not quite sure the glass actually contains a full pint of brew.

More interesting than the beer, however, is the extensive happy hour food menu. If you're in Old Town for happy hour, and you're really hungry, Brix is worth a visit. We didn't eat this trip around, but after having seen some plates of food others around us were eating, I'll definitely be back for a try.

Finding a morning drink in Old Town

Barney's beanery in old Old Town Pasadena is close to the Metro Goldline.

Screw driving

Took the train up to Old Town to meet Wong and to buy these cool hemp shoes I saw the other day. Since I arrived early, I thought I'd check out some early morning drinking holes in Pasadena's Old Town.

First stop Barney's Beanery. 7 days a week you can stop here for a drink starting at 7:30AM. Barney's also has a huge menu, so you can grab a little bite to eat if you're into more than just liquid meals.

The french toast is my favorite.

Just around the corner is another great early morning drinking hole, Lucky Baldwins. However, you can't have a screwdriver at Luckys, which specializes in beer. Still, if you want some beer, bangers and mash, and to watch some European soccer league action, Lucky's is the place to be in the wee morning hours.
