Denny's Pasadena ~ Meet the Neighbors!!

By now you've discovered 

that the majority of bars/establishments in Pasadena close at 11!! Yes, it's true. 

Sure there are a few underground and not so underground places to grab a 'Last Call' but few and far between! (More on that later) 

No matter how early or late you are out-

 Denny's is here for you!!

*Located on Colorado Blvd. between San Gabriel and Altadena Drive

        Let's say you have just had an epic night bouncing around Pasadena, perhaps hitting a Happy Hour Trifecta (Again a story for another time so stay tuned) or you've come back into town after a fantastic event and just don't want to head home and curl into bed. Sometimes you need to recap, collect your thoughts and wind down! That's where Denny's comes into play!

        I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of chain restaurants and I'll leave it at that. But I am a fan of my neighbors, my neighborhood and the glorious people that reside, work and play in the San Gabriel Valley~especially the Dena's!! So I'll take any opportunity to explore and learn when I can!

       This brings me to my latest adventure, at about 4am on Saturday morning. It's all about Tony. He's fantastic! His demeanor, his appropriate verbiage, his subject manners, his attentiveness and just FANTASTIC SERVICE!! He's a hard working man that is similar to Batman in that he has a diurnal identity that is equally as fascinating as his nocturnal identity!! He service reminded me that as a ritual that is a favorite component of my adventures!! Ambiance and Service can make or break a place in my eyes!!!! A true gentleman that makes me want to go back to Denny's at 3am-who would have thought?!

     Denny's is great, so is the table of gentlemen I met that had just enjoyed a night at The Rancho (More on that later as well-stay tuned!) In particular I enjoyed Ronnie. He was the sober, designated driver. Interesting, charismatic and wonderful! Again, it's the people I encounter in Pasadena & Altadena that set it apart..... Ronnie & Tony made our night!!!!

*** BONUS NOTE - You can never have too much whipped cream in your cocoa, Tony is aware of this as well!! He'll also put your beverage of choice in a to go cup!! YAY!!
