purposely came due to the nostalgic aspect of it being in the movie Halloween III. super cool vintage vibe just like from the Tom Atkins scene in the movie. great beers on tap and clean bathroom. bartender had a very nice British accent and was very accommodating. a buddy of mine was with me and we got to hang out with some of the bar regulars. they shared stories about the area and gave us some real nice recommendations in regards to film locations. we took some pics with the bartender and regulars before making our way to the famous church from the movie THE FOG. definitely stop by and grab some drinks if you're in the area !!

This is a local dive bar that has live music on the weekends. It does get busy, so if you like to sit and watch bands I would recommend coming in earlier on the weekends. There is also a place to dance if that is your thing. There is a pool table and darts if you want to play some games. I asked for a hot toddy one day and to my surprise the bartender was able to make it! This bar is located at the heart of Sierra Madre where you will meet great locals! No food is served here, but there are several restaurants you can choose from nearby.

Sierra. Madre's 50-year-plus Buccaneer Lounge continues to polish its reputation for excellent service and generous pours. Dayside server Debbi and weekend dayside server Kevin are more than a little responsible for that reputation. With its outdoor service, the Buccaneer Lounge continues to adapt to the 21st century And don't overlook the parking.

I can't really think of a better bar in the LA/Pasadena area. Great local vibes, not at all pretentious, stiff drinks, and occasional great live music. Great place to roll stag or with a date. Fun times!

Stumbled upon this little dive bar . What a fun place.!! They had this great 80s band playing there on Sunday of all nights ... drinks are very reasonable, and the staff and patrons are very friendly. I will definitely be back.

They dont have draft beer, but the bartender that night sure had a heavy hand. The pours are strong and the prices are reasonable. I found this local dive bar to be quite charming. There looks like there's a stage for live music but there was none the night we went in. I thought the place was great. WOuld come back for sure.

Travis is a class act! This guy checks all the boxes. Great ambiance, old time feel, an institution! If you don't like this place you can go to hell!
Dive bar? Yup! You'll love it! Everyone is very friendly. Great assortment of beers and full bar. Large patio in rear. Plenty of parking on the street and behind the bar.

We came to this place since it was in the Halloween 3 Season of the Witch film. We came here on a bus tour and also for an event called Drinks with Tom Atkins. Very cool bar and they celebrate their place in movie history! If you're in Sierra Madre, check this place out. We even got t-shirt souvenirs.

Dive bar with strong drinks and interesting characters. You can bring in your own food.

I went here during the 1980's and recently thought about it and was glad it was still there. Always loved the mural! I live in another state but will visit next time I'm that way. Sierra Madre is a great place.
