Margarita Jones has very nice margaritas for 4 bucks each. Some of the appetizers and chips and salsa are free of charge. you can also order appetizers from the menu for 1/2 off. Union Cattle Co. also has a good happy hours. All appetizers are half off. As far as the drinks goes, I think only draft beers and some martinis are specially priced for their happy hours. Cafe Bizou has a decent happy hours as well. However, I think their happy hours are between 5 and 6:30 only. That is just not long enough for me to get happy. Hope this helps.

Have not been in about a year, but Carmine's in South Pas has(d) a great happy hour. Their wonderful pizzas are really cheap and the rest of the apps are also very well-priced. They have different drink specials each day of the week.
From work, we usually do Yard House. -

PF Changs now has happy hour from 3-6, call to check on the Pasadena location but I think it is 7 days a week.

Unbelievable recommendations... McCormick's and Cheesecake are TERRIBLE corporate crap food. Sorry, been to both far too many times for business and with non-foodie friends. Don't bother.
Magnolia's is good, I like their cornflake chicken, but the food is not terribly new or anything, just reasonably well made in a great location.
And now, I'll back up and say that Sushi Roku has good corporate food. All their appetizers are pretty good tasting. Get the mushrooms with lotus root... I forget the name of the dish.

I am a fan of Sushi Roku's happy hour, which is 5-6:30 in the bar area only (I believe) and all night on Mondays. A selection of drinks, hand rolls, and other hot and cold appetizers are $3 a piece. Although I have never been a huge fan of the main restaurant, Roku's happy hours is one of the best deals I have found in the Pasadena area.

I like BODEGA in the Paseo for happy hour. I like their food (particularly the tuna & cracker plate), selection of drinks and the outside patio. Food and drink specials everyday from 4-7 pm. http://www.bodegawinebar.com/specials...
I have been meaning to try Monday nights at Union Cattle Co. when all apps are 1/2 off.
If you want to venture down to the Rose Bowl, I noticed that Brookside has a serious happy hour promotion going on - something like $1 beers from 5pm until closing every day of the week! Might not be the crowd your looking for though.

The Yardhouse at Paseo Colorado has a pretty decent happy hour. It's something like selected food at 1/2 price, and $2 off beers or $1 off well drinks. I don't recall Gordon Biersch having anything similar, although I prefer their beer.
However, Cheesecake Factory in Old Town has a surprisingly reasonable happy hour. Avocado eggrolls, hamburger sliders, lettuce wraps, mac and cheese, are $5-6 and you're not stuck with a gigantic portion. I have been twice and been happy both times.
