"And Barney is the level-headed St. Anthony, who packs a generous heart and mind for all who come to his place, whether they be tycoons of the Motion Picture Industry, star actors or writers or if they be humble extras or the cab driver on the midnight shift." - Pepe Romero, 1957 Barney's Beanery opened in 1920 and since then has expanded and changed, yet maintained it's original appeal to the public. The wonderful atmosphere is largely created by the rich history of the restaurant. People such as Janis Joplin, who was rumored to have her last drink at the original in Hollywood, and Jimi Hendrix have dined at Barney's. The name Barney's Beanery was derived from the era of the depression when the restaurant used to serve beans on route 66. By combining the past and the present, Barney's Beanery creates the inviting atmosphere that attracts so many people. Barney's Beanery now proudly serves a 701 item menu and 40 beers on draft. With countless choices, we are able to make anyone and everyone happy!

Ascend a flight of stairs from a quaint Old Pasadena courtyard and you'll find a new approach to the good life at Vertical Wine Bistro, where bistro fare is paired with a dazzling array of wines from around the world. Film producer, and local resident, Gale Anne Hurd has created this warm and welcoming setting where inventive dishes created by Chef Laurent Quenioux (Bistro K, Bistro LQ) are presented alongside wine selections by Wine Director and General Manager Manuel Mesta. Experts and novices alike are invited to peruse the eclectic wine list of over 400 domestic and international labels, many of which are available by the glass or as part of regional flights, with the help of the discerning staff. The restaurant features a sleek wine bar and lounge separated from a contemporary dining room by a custom floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar. The refined cuisine, relaxed setting, and convivial atmosphere at Vertical Wine Bistro have combined to make it a local favorite since 2008.
