We all need entertainment and a social life, but being recession-minded and watching the wallet these days led me to put together a list of great Happy Hour spots close to Pasadena. A great way to snack and have a cocktail for less. Less is more after all. Or is it more for less?
If you know of good ones around please let me know and I'll keep adding to the list.
