Carmine's Restaurant & Bar

 
Carmine's in South Pasadena has reopened with a completely new look that is so Italian, so Mobster. I love what they've done with the space and decor....especially the chandeliers! It has a warm, yet sophisticated feel.  You can tell that a lot of thought was put into the design & new aesthetics.  If you have never been, dining is on left with a separate bar on the right, The Holy Water Room (love the name).

I recently went to a Birthday Party in the Holy Water Room and it was such a great time with a DJ playing down tempo, 80's New Wave & other great dance tunes.

One other thing.... I absolutely love it when bartenders are in uniform. Go see them, great service!

In the Holy Water Room:
Tuesday -  Happy Hour all night
Thursday -  DJ at 9:00pm
Saturday - DJ  at 9:00pm followed by Burlesque show 10:00pm to 12:30am
Wednesday - Saturday -  Happy Hour from 3:30pm - 7:30pm
