If you’re looking for good food,good vibe,good music and overall great experience then Der Wolf is the spot. Went there for brunch on Sunday morning and left around 8pm. Had an amazing time. Super friendly and helpful staff to go along with relaxing music. The prices are below average and the drinks are excellent. Can’t wait to go back.

This is not a German restaurant anymore. Close until your rebrand is complete. It’s currently littered with beer pong tables and adult size games. The music was so loud I couldn’t carry on a conversation, and the whole ambiance felt like a dumpy, sloppy college bar. Might be suitable near a Big 10 campus, but not upscale Pasadena. 0/10 would not recommend.

Okay I knew is was a bar and not the self labeled ‘gastro pub’ but really the worst bar food I have ever had…. Bland… over fried….. old. Would not recommend unless you just wanted beer.

I took my fiancée there and I was confused cause I had not been back since before the pandemic and it was a little confusing to see a dj blasting Regeton and the lights glaring. It didn’t feel like a pub anymore. That’s just my opinion. Not trying to down talk anything about it. It just took me by surprise

Never was greeter or approached by a server, we sat there for 25 minutes and left.

Just a dive bar, plain and simple. Cocktails are good. Appetizers are fair to good.

Though the menu implies it may be German, the food is Mexican centric. We had a great brunch. We started with a mango margarita and a michelada, both of which were quite tasty. My hubby had the shrimp ceviche which was loaded with shrimp. He liked the flavor and it was the perfect serving size. I had the chilaquiles with Carne asada. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a spot we will try again when we return to Pasadena.

Brought my bestfriend here for a night out in town and we had an absolute blast. The music was great and diverse since there are multiple rooms in the restaurant with different music genres we got a little bit of everything. The food was also tasteful, we got something simple to snack on: Guacamole and a sausage plate. The sausage was surprisingly flavorful considering i'm not the biggest fan of sausage. My favorite were the drinks so pretty and delicious. I got the the Mexican Candy cocktail and my bestfriend got the Betty Boop. The bartender was very friendly as well. Would definately recommend this place to anyone wanting a fun night out: Great drinks, fun ambience, good food, & awesome service! Will be back soon

We had a reservation, but when we arrived they acted as if they don’t take reservations. Thankfully there was a table available. The food was delicious! Service was poor. It took about 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. My husband ordered a second drink that he never received. It was a fun ambiance. Patrons were there to have a good time.

I always enjoy my visit to Der Wolf. All the staff are super friendly! Melissa was a great waitress! Crystal always comes around and makes sure we were okay. Thank you again for everything! I had a great birthday brunch! Will recommend to my friends!
