Downstairs is a full-blown restaurant, with lots of tables and American cuisine. The main floor is a piano bar where the Gaybill Broadway Cabaret performs each Wednesday. And upstairs, It’s a nightclub, with strobe lights, loud house music, and dancing. So you can have any kind of night you want depending on the mood and your taste in Broadway tunes. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p></p></div>

Star Leaf is a splashy Southeast Asian spot in Pasadena that's a decent backup dinner option if you’ve got tickets to Pasadena Playhouse. The large, clubhouse-esque restaurant is part of an international chain from Asia with 40 locations—and for the most part, the food tastes like what you’d expect from a chain. Nothing is bad, but most dishes tend to be on the safe side. That includes exceedingly mild coconut curries, roe-topped fried rice in need of a kick, and standard veggie rice paper rolls. The most successful items are the cocktails, including the gin and curry-tinted Transatlantic that tastes like tom kha. We’d happily stop in again for a little pre-show buzz in the gorgeous bar area.

Picture the wedding reception of someone who would wear a flower crown and no shoes—that’s The Midnight Apothecary. This garden is on top of the Brunel Museum, and could double as a A Midsummer Night’s Dream theatre set. You have to book a time slot and pay for entry in advance, then, on arrival you’re shown to a log or bench that will be your seat for the night. Between the QR codes and strict time limits, some of the magic can be lost. But this is still a lovely date spot—all flaming torches, tasteful draped fairy lights, cocktails garnished with bits from the garden, and fire pits for toasting s’mores. With every ticket you have the option of a Thames Tunnel tour. It’s only 20 minutes and it’s definitely worth doing—the tour guide was in Four Weddings And A Funeral and manages to make the story of this tunnel as thrilling as a Netflix true crime documentary.
