    Established when Washington Boulevard was still a dirt road, 1881 Club is Pasadena's oldest continuously operating 21+ cocktail bar. This family-owned spot offers a cozy atmosphere with hardwood floors and artsy decor, making it a favorite among locals. Known for its expertly crafted cocktails, including a praised gin martini, the bar also hosts live jazz sessions every Friday night, featuring world-class musicians.
