First of all. Find the password on their Facebook Page and get 20% a bottle of Wine on Wednesdays. We ordered 4 different appetizers during their 5-7 time frame. The shrimp wrapped with prosciutto was delicious, the caprisi with pesto was very tasty as well. On the other hand the chicken was a little heavy. Next time we are opting... More

I came here with my wife a few months ago with my wife for after dinner desert and drinks on our anniversary. We had reservations and even made notations in the reservation that we were there for a special occasion. We were sat 20 minutes past our reservation and were stuck in a table up against a wall in a... More

We had the earlier of two New Year's Eve seatings. There was a special menu with a choice of bread, appetizer, soup/salad, entree, and dessert courses (plus a sorbet palate cleanser) with plenty of options. I believe most of the items were from their regular menu with a few specials for NYE. Our meal choices ranged from good to excellent... More

My friend planned her birthday party and decided on this place. Housed in a historic building in Old Town Pasadena, this a quaint fun alternative to a restaurant. You must make reservations and have at least 8 people in your party. It's $150 for all eight providing a magnum of champagne and three desserts. There are other delectables on the... More

It's been a long time since I've been to a restaurant I enjoyed as much as Pop Champagne & Dessert Bar. I was a little hesitant to have dinner here since it advertises itself as a dessert bar but I really shouldn't have worried! We started with an assortment of big, fat deviled eggs and tasty tomato-based bruschetta followed by... More

We had a wonderful glass of champagne (one we had never had before) and fabulous desserts. The live band was perfect and completed the experience/atmosphere. The only complaint is the hours in which they are open. They close very early for a place that really only serves dessert - we felt like they were hurrying us out and it was... More

After reading various write ups of this place had expected great things and was rather disappointed. The place was very busy and staff seemed very rushed and hassled. Tables are very close together and we constantly felt as if we bumped into all the time. We had a selection of Champagnes and wine along with accompanying nibbles. The wine was... More

I expected more from this place. I drove by numerous times and been looking forward to coming here for a while. But when I came in with a friend their moscatto, and champagne selections are very limited for them to be a champagne bar. I think it's a great place to go for a date but not necessarily worth the...
