The Scene
''Think globally, drink locally'' is the motto of this affable Pasadena pub named after E.J. ''Lucky'' Baldwin, the founder of the Santa Anita racetrack. In this case, ''globally'' means the U.K., so expect exposed brick, ''Lovely day for a Guinness'' posters and soccer hooligans on the telly. Enjoy a game of darts in the upstairs loft, tuck into crispy fish and chips or have a smoke on the patio permanently strewn with Christmas lights. Special events run the gamut from Sunday keg parties to the occasional live band.
The Draw
A mild-mannered mix of students, yuppies, retirees and everyone else who delights in hoisting a pint. Draught beers are the usual suspects, with one local exception: Pasadena's own Craftsman Ale. Those with more eclectic tastes can choose from the vast array of Belgian ales and fruit lambics.
