A step back in time would be complete if they'd only play some big band and crooner tunes. But it's the food and drink we focus on.

Personally, I think this is one of the best happy hour bars around. Inside, it has a steampunk-y sensibility with rich, dark wood tones & comfy booths. Outside, there's a patio along Honolulu Avenue that's just the spot for people watching. HAPPY HOUR MENU :: - The wings are great. They're perfectly saucy, served with blue cheese or ranch. Pairs well with their Happy Hour Prickly Pear Cider (in a can for $5). - Also, there's Habiscus Cider on draft, which is also sweet and more soda pop-like. It's not on Happy Hour. $9 for a tall glass. - Potato Skins are stacked with toppings and super cheesy. We tried their house Ranch and asked for a side of Bleu Cheese. OTHER NOTABLE FAVES :: - $15 gets you 2 tacos with a side of chips. - Meatloaf Mondays - get a proper meal that sticks to your ribs + a pint for $20. - No wait for a booth. Food & drinks came out quickly. Overall, the service is great. Sorry, kids. This place is 21 and over only. It's a date night, bday drinks, or first stop on an adults night out kinda place. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * That number comes from the 1st census count in the early 1800s ** The LA Basin includes Hollywood Hills to Coastal PCH Shores, San Fernando & San Gabriel valleys + Orange County too.

We just moved to the neighborhood and were really excited to try this place, especially after…read moreseeing so many great reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite when it came to service. We sat at the bar, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy. There were at least four people working behind the bar, which made the lack of service even more puzzling. It genuinely felt like we were being ignored. Not in a "they're slammed" kind of way, there was just a really odd lack of acknowledgment throughout our entire meal. What's especially surprising is how many reviews mention great service, because that was definitely not our experience. I asked to taste a couple of different beers before deciding, which was totally fine, but after that it took forever to actually get someone's attention to order one. Once we finally got our beer, we were ready to order food, but again, no one acknowledged us. We waited patiently and eventually had to get someone's attention ourselves. We ordered the fish and chips and the pot roast French dip. The menu says the French dip comes with a choice of chips or salad, but our server never asked us which we wanted. We assumed chips were the default since the choice was never mentioned. When our food arrived, we didn't have any silverware. We asked the person who dropped off our food for some, and he seemed genuinely confused by the request. It took a while for him to bring us rolled silverware that was apparently already ready to go. We then asked about the chips with the sandwich. He went to the kitchen, came back with the ticket, told us it came with salad and that we needed to request chips, and then simply walked away. This was probably the most frustrating part because it would have been such an easy customer-service moment to handle differently. Chips aren't exactly an expensive or complicated item. A simple, "It actually comes with salad unless you request chips, but no problem I'll bring you some," would have completely changed the interaction. Instead, we were essentially told we were wrong and left it at that. After that, no one checked on us. I needed some extra malt vinegar and asked the bartender for it. He never brought it and never acknowledged the request again. What made the whole experience even stranger was that the people sitting around us seemed to be getting perfectly normal service. It just felt like we were somehow invisible. After we finished eating, our plates sat in front of us for a long time. Again, no one checked on us, asked if we wanted another drink, dessert, or anything else. I eventually had to physically push my plate toward the edge of the bar and ask for the check before we got any acknowledgment. I honestly can't remember the last time I experienced service that was this consistently odd and nonexistent. And unfortunately, the food itself wasn't anything particularly memorable either. We were genuinely looking forward to having a new neighborhood spot, so it was disappointing to leave with such a bad impression. Maybe we caught them on an off night, but based on our experience, we won't be returning.

With that information and the GPS, we had no issues finding Brewyard. The day we went, most people were sitting inside. There was a food vendor outside but the roll up door wasn't open so we chose a table inside. The bartender was nice and offered us samples as we perused the extensive offerings on tap.

We had been staying in Glendale, CA for our daughter's wedding since Wednesday evening because we…read moreneeded to still do a lot of wedding stuff before she married her suitor of four years on Saturday. Thursday, my wife's sister and her family joined us at the reception hall in Los Angeles to help and after we were done, we drove back to our hotel for them to check in, freshen up, and get ready for dinner after a long day of working. We weren't sure where we were going to eat, so I asked my son and his girlfriend to find a place closeby. They recommended We're Pouring, which met the close proximity criteria, so all nine of our drove over. We're Pouring served delectable food and we received friendly customer service, but eating outside was a little uncomfortable with the recent heat wave and it took a littl while for the food to come out. We're Pouring is located in Glendale, which is 20 minutes away from Los Angeles. It's specifically located on Glenoaks Blvd. and Jackson. There's a Chevron gas station down the road and the restaurant is across from Anoush Dance Studio. They have their own private parking lot, but for a Thursday, the small parking lot was packed with cars, so we parked on an adjacent neighborhood street and had a short walk to the restaurant. The NFL football season had started with the first Thursday night football game, which probably explains why parking was not available and why the restaurant was packed. Initially, we tried getting inside seating, but decided on their outside covered seating area because my grandniece was sleeping. The outside seating consists of a big canopy, wooden picnic tables, string lights, and there were big screen televisions for us to watch the football game. Inside the restaurant, the air conditioning was working really well, it was packed with diners, and it was loud from people watching the football game. The restaurant is not very large and dining inside would have been preferred because it was still pretty warm outside despite us eating out in the evening hours. We received friendly customer service from our waiter and the team who assisted him and checked on us at a good pace. After our food was ordered, it did take a little while for it to come out. I'd categorize We're Pouring as a local sports bar with televisions inside and outside for patrons to catch their favorite sport. When I asked my son to look for a restaurant closeby, I asked him to find one that serves a variety of food. On their menu, there were the following: shareable appetizers, burgers/sandwiches, tacos, salads, soup, pizza, and desserts. It might have been because of the stress of planning, preparing, and making sure all of the details of the wedding are taken care of, but I wasn't hungry for a big meal. I decided to share with my wife an order of Pastrami Fries and Fried Pickles. Both appetizers were a good amount of food and definitely shareable. The pastrami fries come with golden brown fries, topped with chopped pastrami, mozzarella, dill pickles, and thousand island. The pastrami was tender, plentiful, tasty, and combined with the fries and the other components, it really was satisfying. The fried pickles were fried just right, it had a crunchy coating, and when dipped with the spicy remoulade (not too spicy), I just kept eating them. My nephew ordered their Bella Bites, which are garlic pizza bites with tomatoes, basil, and are served with pizza sauce. It was basically chopped up pizza and that was addictingly delish. The start of our daughter's wedding festivities began Thursday with our family driving up to help us set up the reception hall. The festive time continued that evening as we broke bread together at We're Pouring, which serves really yummy food.

Why such a long hiatus? The tap list over the last months just hasn't had anything I've wanted to drink. It's been a lot of repeats of things I've had over and over or beers that just aren't appealing -- or, in many cases, both. The Glendale Tap used to have a fairly good turnover of new brews, but lately, it seems to be in a rut. Imports are pretty much never to be seen -- like everywhere else, sadly. Even out-of-state beers are rare. And on my most recent visit, at least half of the tap list was tapped out. IPAs and sours take up so much of the list -- stouts in the cooler months -- while styles like bitters, milds, (non-India) pale ales, brown ales, bocks, amber lagers, smoked beers, etc., get little to no space on the tap list. I still love the atmosphere of the Glendale Tap, and the bartenders there are the best. Prices are fair, and there's always something at least decent to drink. But I miss those fulsome tap lists with a variety of beer styles from far and wide. More and more, the Glendale Tap is becoming too much like every other beer bar. I know L.A. beer drinkers are extremely parochial with very limited tastes (basically IPA, IPA, IPA, and IPA, with some super sours thrown in), but I would hope the Glendale Tap could return to just a smidgen of its former excellence. Until then, I probably will be visiting biannually instead of bimonthly.

GIFT CERTIFICATES - BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK! SCAM BUSINESS!…read more I was a frequenter to both Morrison locations in Burbank and Los Feliz. They bear the same name, menu, shirts, decor, etc. This gives the consumer the impression that these are absolutely related businesses that share ownership/management. A family member knew I loved the Morrison, and bought a $100 gift certificate from the Los Feliz location and gave it to me as a birthday gift. That location shut down a few weeks later, so I took it the gift certificate to the Burbank location. After attempting to use it after ordering a ton of food and drink, they straight up told me they are not associated with the other location whatsoever and they would not honor the gift certificate. Whether that's the truth or not (I don't believe them) you have a BRAND TO PROTECT. This is what sharing a brand is! To make the cognizant decision not to honor this gift certificate is theft! I will NEVER return to a business that bears the Morrison name ever again. You have lost a customer for life. I now implore all Yelpers to boycott this business for shady business practices. They literally took the $100 and disappeared! Where's my $100 Morrison?

He was far more interested in the arsenal game than he was of taking care of clients. It was clearly lots to do and yet he just sat and watched the game, simple things like giving me my check as soon as I was done with my food were ignored so that he could watch arsenal. Never before in my 20 years of coming to this bar, have I ever noticed server or employee of lucky Baldwin's paying more attention to the TVs then to the guests this was very offputting and this guy should not be there if this is how he usually operates very bad experience.
