Bar Chelou is a neo-bistro that is both a distillation of Chef Doug Rankin's broad gastronomic interests and a deeply personal expression of his individualistic style.

'Chelou' (French slang for ‘strange’ or ‘unexpected’) is both the name and unifying theme of the restaurant, which draws from a range of culinary traditions and service styles to create something personal, novel, and fun.

The restaurant is located within the Pasadena Playhouse complex. If you plan to visit the Playhouse after dinner, please book a 5:30p reservation to ensure ample timing for your dinner. We also offer concession cocktails before a showing and during intermission.

NEED TO KNOW
Wine corkage is $30 per 750ml bottle with no limit; we do not offer corkage for wines featured on our wine list.

Ample parking is available on surrounding streets and at several paid lots within a one-block radius.

Gift cards are available for purchase on our website.

Great dining spot right adjacent to the Pasadena Playhouse. Don't let the menu through you off, each dish is spectacular, even if it doesn't sound appetizing . Carrot salad is great, clam toast is fabulous, crispy potatoes amazing, etc. etc. All very different but wonderful. The staff is also the best, very service oriented and friendly. Top pick if your going to the Playhouse for a show.

This is always such a vibe and amazing experience. The team clearly loves being there, engaging with the guests, and the food is excellent. The room is gorgeous and parking is easy. Clam Toast, Crispy Potatoes, Carrots, Tempura Mushrooms (that sauce!!!), the TROUT and the Spinach, omg. The wine list is fantastic. Parking is easy. Go. Now. It’s the best.

Best tapas around, It was like being in Spain again. Love the location, it’s right beside the Pasadena Playhouse. Great place for dinner before the show.

What a great place with such great service. Every plate was gorgeous. Plus a dairy-free menu! Not to be redundant, but the service was outstanding.

Every bite is to be savored. One sauce was better than the next - from the Tempura Wild Mushrooms to the Trout. Excellent service as well.

Great food - lots of vegetarian options that are sufficient to make a meal. We've eaten here often and will continue to do so.

This was our second visit to this wonderful spot, the ambiance was great, the service was superior, and the food was excellent. We reordered the crispy potatoes, and they did not disappoint, plus a cheese plate, the marinated olives, and the Pork Chop. All were outstanding and I could have eaten another Pork Chop it was so good. We love the idea is is a sharing dish selection, as there were three of us. Not to mention we ordered the caramel banana and lemon dessert. The banana was pretty, but the star was the lemon dessert. We will definitely go back.

Bar Chelou is a very handsome space with a warm and festive vibe. The service from all staff is very friendly and professional. The cuisine, while very good, is somewhat limited in scope. I would’ve liked to see more fresh vegetable selections as well as more main entree choices. I also don’t like restaurants that have many two-tops arranged so that one member of the party faces a wall, limiting that diner’s appreciation of the full atmosphere. Those quibbles aside, it’s a very appealing place, maybe more for drinks than dining at this point.
