As the city turns dark, the lights at the Rancho turn brightest. It’s one of few bars in Altadena, and it’s been around for decades, too. Catering to a lively crowd, the Rancho is for the person looking for an evening where the alcohol is cold, the crowd is energetic and the doors stay open late. It’s the kind of neighborhood bar where you can start your evening solo and end up on the sidewalk with new friends grabbing late-night eats from one of the street vendors.
