I got clostriphobic at this place even though it was empty at lunch time on a Monday. They have a wierd Sandwhich shop in the front making the bar in the back very small. They try to make it a small English Pub feel but it makes the atmosphere wierd.

The service was okay typical can I get you a beer/menu conversation.

If your not into European Beers skip this place. The only thing I recognized on tap was Sierra Nevada. They have English, Belgen, and Irish beers on tap. Mostly Dark and Brown's. I had a Christmas Brown Special and a Craftsman Pale Ale which had Orange in it. I give them credit for having an original selection but if your into MicroBrews or American Beers this place is not for you.

The food is english style like fish and chips or bangers and mash. I had a grilled cheese cause I love a good Hamburger or Pizza America style but didn't want to drink on an empty stomache.

Even though the selection is good for a european style I wouldn't go back here even if someone asked me too. I would take the 3 block walk in any direction to either Crown City Brewery on Raymond & Del Mar or the Yard House in the mall just up Colorado. It doesn't suite me as an american beer drinker.

What more can I say? The beer selection is amazing: All good, all fresh, all properly maintained. Adequate variety without getting "weird". Great British brews on tap and in bottles. A wide selection of Belgians and a representative sample of North American brews.

I had the "Ploughman's Lunch" on a 105 degree Valley Day, following a long day searching an old house for probate materials. I was hot, tired, thirsty and hungry. The folks at Lucky Baldwin's knew exactly what I needed. My server was brand new and needed some help finding bottles and her beer knowledge was lacking, but nobody took offense to it. We're all here to have a good time.

If I lived in Pasadena, this would be my 'Local'. I've been a long time (10 years +) visitor at Crown City, but Lucky's seems to have captured the essence of a British local. Would I return? YOU BET! On a scale of 1 to four mugs, this gets a four!

Best Belgian beer selection in the L.A. area. (Several are always on tap and the annual week-long Belgian fest rocks!)

Also does theme nights monthly featuring all the beers from a brewery, keep the pint glass. Had the Rauchbier from Sierra Nevada at the S.N. night. Might have been first time the Rauchbier was outside the brewery.
