My group and I came in this past weekend for a birthday party and our server Camila was perfect all the way through. She recommended us the razzmatazz and it's my new favorite drink. Food is good, she broke down the beer menu since they brew it all in house. Will be coming again soon, thank you Camila!!! read more

Gladi8or Brews & Billiards - *Onion Rings *Asada Taco *Wings ( Sweet Chili & Gladi8or) - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

What do you do when you've worn green to work and you've finally got a moment to yourself after a few long weeks? You find a local bar celebrating St. Patty's Day of course. I picked up Gwen and we took off towards Covina figuring there would be at least one bar taking advantage of the holiday. We parked halfway down the street and decided to walk to whatever called our name. Would we head to Bread & Barley? Would we drop into a new fave Yelp restaurant (that wasn't celebrating the day)? Nah, that's no fun. We kept going until we ran into Gladi8or Brews & Billiards. First test, passed. They were celebrating Irish style. Second test, passed. They spelled Billiards right. Ha. Long story, but there is a place off the 57 fwy - a big sign that's been there for decades... and they spell it 'Billards'. When I told them, they said I was the only one who ever said anything. I'm pretty sure it's still there. That was over ten years ago. But, my design / proofing eye can't handle that. About as much as me handling any use of the Papyrus font. Shame on Avatar (IYKYK). So, back to Gladi8or, we walked in and realized it was a pretty cool place - part bar, restaurant, pool hall, club (I'm guessing). We were greeted within a minute and sat. At first pass of the menu, it was as expected. Beers they brew there - and only their brews. So, hopefully they're good. Cocktails. Special happy hour and St. Patty's Day Menu, and reg pub type fare. I ordered an Irish Red Ale, Gladi8or Burger, Garlic Fries, and house salad and we split it. Gwen doesn't drink beer much but she tried mine and loved it. We were equally impressed and happy with our food and service. All were refreshingly good. The salad wasn't anything special, but better than expected - fresh, cold, crisp, and the dressing was really good. The garlic fries were great. Would have liked a few more. The burger was quite solid. A little small to split but we both enjoyed it. Nothing was gastropub style in terms of a finer take but it also wasn't your typical 'just okay' bar food. It was pleasantly in the middle. Not pretentious. Just delicious. And, our server was attentive, friendly, and helpful. At happy hour you can play pool for $10 and it's $25 on weekends. I haven't played in years but it looked fun. Maybe next time we'll grab a table. read more

Yesterday I came here to celebrate a birthday with a party of six. We ordered a round of drinks and later one of my friends rented a pool table, so we moved one of the tables slightly closer. At some point our tab was randomly closed without explanation. When another waitress came to start a new tab, I politely asked her why the previous one had been closed. Instead of answering the question, she snapped and told me to go ask "your waiter." Her tone was extremely rude and unprofessional, and she even stepped toward me in a confrontational way. To make things worse, someone who appeared to be the owner was watching our table at one point but did nothing to address the situation. All we did was ask a simple question and were met with attitude. Customer service here is clearly lacking. Unfortunately, this will be my last time coming here. read more

Great ambience at this bar. It is a brewery so they have their own brewed beers on tap, but they do also have alcohol. And they have pool tables galore. I've been here a couple times, it's always a pleasure, and the vibes are great. The servers are always friendly and ready to take your order. I'll definitely be coming back to this location. read more

This bar has a great ambiance and played amazing music from the early to mid-2000s--such a vibe! I liked their Sparta's Lychee drink, which was sweet to my liking. I also took a sip from my friend's Citrus Cove, and that tasted awesome too. Drinks were speedy and my group had a good time! read more

Place sucks!!! Servers are more worried about how they look instead of serving their customers. 0 stars...

I've only been there twice. Both times, the bartenders did not know the menu well. They don't have good recommendations of the beer I'm looking for. Music is super loud when the bar is empty. I don't have a good review on the food, but it seems good! read more

Ambiance is fricking awesome! Open accordion doors in the front, mature vibe. Love love love the house music . The service was exceptional, our waitress was super friendly and accommodating. We had the pizza, French fries and sampler platter. My fave were the fries, they were crispy and delicious m. $25 for an hour of pool. The beers were $8-$11 I enjoyed the Mexican lager. Hubby got double IPA and he said it was too thick, if that makes sense. Children are allowed before 9pm then they get the boot :) I took my 4 yr old. I think next time we won't just because the majority of the tables and booths are high. read more

What keeps me coming back to this place are the Bartenders!!! I would like to give a shoutout to Trevor who was very sweet and attentive just like the bartender that has a butterfly tattoo on her neck she informed me about all there specials. All the bartenders There are Top Notch! Any drink you order whether it's off their menu or not, they will come out perfectly . My favorite drink to order is an Apple Martini Dirty ( with olive juice) . It's Cinco De Mayo so head on down to Gladi8or for all your drinks . I promise those bartenders won't miss! They are absolutely the best bartenders in town read more

Went in with a group party staff members doesn't know who ordered what; waited FOREVER TO GET A REFILL, food is mediocre and can tell they microwave food. Bugs flying around and the beer was warm; manager looked like he has no clue on how to handle a busy night this place is not going to last I can tell how horrible and unorganized.They need more training and better communication with staff. read more

I recently visited Gladi8or Brews and Billiards in Covina, coming all the way from Rancho Cucamonga. Before my trip, I called to confirm the kitchen hours and was told it closed at 10:15-10:30 PM, with a recommendation to arrive before 9:30 PM just in case. I arrived at 9:17 PM, only to be told by the bartender that the kitchen closed at 9:15 PM. I was really disappointed, especially since this is the second time this has happened to me. The first time was on a Sunday when I arrived at 9:00 PM and found the kitchen already closed. It seems like every time I plan to eat at Gladi8or, the kitchen is unexpectedly closed. At this point, I think I might just stick to visiting on Saturdays when I might have better luck! read more

Gladi8or Brews & Billiards - Old-fashioned.. - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

I really wanted to like this place. I came here a few times for the dodgers games last 2025 season, and I had a decent time, the bartenders took care of us well. I came her earlier this month, 1/9/2026, to celebrate my friends birthday. We had a great time, until we had to close out. My friend was double charged when closing out. Our friends who left earlier, closed their own tabs before leaving, however their items were on the final checks still, and doubled. We had two servers that night, one was a young man (I forgot his name) who took the first part of our orders. When he informed us that he was leaving and Camila was taking over, myself and a few others asked if we needed to re-organize the tabs, he said they would take care of it. However, towards the end of the night, the tabs were incorrect and confusing, and overcharged. I really wanted this place to become our usual, but after that experience, i won't be going here with groups of friends to avoid having confusion with the tabs. read more

Brand new bar in downtown Covina! 10/10 Recommend coming here with a group of friends! read more

Was looking forward to trying this place since I have seen it advertised on Instagram and I now live in the area so I like to try out the local places. I went with a party for 8 for brunch/lunch and some drinks. The place was empty when we got there around noon time. The server was awesome, all staff we encountered were great. The food was decent, not amazing but good for bar food I guess. This place is huge and Im sure is busier in the evening. I did notice the pool tables being on the smaller side. I would definitely come back to watch a Dodgers game and have some drinks during happy hour. Its a new spot so you have to allow for some growing pains til everything gets better, but overall I am loving this place for Covina. read more

My friends are like vampires and they like to get together after 8pm. Not a lot of restaurants open late anymore so tried this place out. I wish we played pool but just ended up eating and talking. Service is great and the food is pretty decent. There was a Dodger game playing so we just hung out and ate. read more

Stopped in to a local brewery Gladi8ors brew and billiards. The UFC fight was on and a few people were playing billiards. We both ordered a beer each, me the Gladiator Gold- smooth tasting, golden Mexican lager. My guy ordered the Emperors wrath- an IPA that is dry, slightly dank, not too bitter but smooth tasting. We ordered a pastrami pizza with light pizza sauce and no onions.. The pizza came out and...drum roll.. Thin crust, pastrami was a good size cut, not too thin or too thick. It has a aioli/saracha sauce which had a different spin which was tasty. The crust is thin, which my guy liked, he ate it all. Me, I love a thicker crust, cuz it gets hard to fast which this did, but still good flavor, so a 3 for me. The service was excellent, ambiance was good, atmosphere was cold cuz its almost winter out and doors open, but it's a youngin thing.. over all a 4 for me. Will definitely recommend and return. We ordered another round of beer. Cheers!! So we stayed for another fight, my guy ordered the garlic fries and of course 2 more beers!! Ayyy! What a bully.. Great fries too.. we left after they put the music on over the UFC fight!! Booo! read more

Great vibes and solid drinks! Gladi8or is a great spot to hang out. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. They have pool tables, so it's an easy place to relax and have fun with friends. Their beer selection is excellent--we tried a flight and everything was really good. My favorite was the hazy IPA, Arena Haze, which stood out the most. If you're more into whiskey, they also have an impressive selection, with options ranging from Macallan to black label. Overall, a solid place with good service, great drinks, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out. read more

I believe they are working out a few kinks and they will do fine. The place gives more of a bar vibe than a restaurant. Well, then in that case it should be open seating. We found our own spot and helped others too. The one question we asked the hostess she couldn't help out with. I guess if you want to play pool you go to the hostess. I'm not sure. So the bar tenders are knowledgeable and the cocktails are where it's at. The food looks like, well, bar food. Stuff just in case you get hungry. The menu has some vocabulary errors. The word shrimp is both singular and plural. One shrimp, six shrimp. Like that. No need for an "-s" at the end when plural. Get an editor for your menu. Also there were some spacing issues Back to the food. I don't know how I feel about the food. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't marvelous; just food. They were out of the first beer on the beer on their list. Work on making sure that doesn't happen again. It was the lightest most crisp beer. Pro tip have another beer that is easily drinkable; the days of sneaking up on a full bodied beer are over. People want something they could drink all night. A light domestic beer. The entire gladiator thing is a little goofy and doesn't really go along with how amazing some of the cocktails are. It's an odd phenomenon for sure. Check the place out and give them a try. They could only use feedback at this point if they are going to make it. And I did notice a couple of the pool tables already look beat up... read more

Came in on a Thursday night, ordered the beer flight, i think n this was some of the best brews I have had because they were flavorful and had the right amount of tang and aftertaste. Service was well with a good staffed team. Also, the Ambiance was lively with friendly patrons and good music. But the beer, awesome!! Will be back read more

Came in at 10:30pm they said kitchen was closed but the manager extended the time for the kitchen and got us food regardless cause we told him we came for food.

Ambiance is cool pretty the fanciest bar and billiards place i went to definitely upscale would def bring my date next time. read more

I'm so happy to have this place downtown. It's late June 2025 and it still has the brand new car smell. The TV screens are aplenty. The pool tables still fresh. But the food? Well, eat before you get here. The pastrami and steak sandwiches are buns. Didn't finish them. Same goes for the burger. That's one you'll have to see for yourself. That they'd try to selll that with an In N Out just up the street takes balls of...ceramic? What are pool balls made of anyhow? The dishes came out at different times. The fries at the very end. Instead of refilling our water cups, they brought new ones, bringing the total to 8 cups on our smallish table top. Look, maybe I'm the dumbass who brought the family to watch the game and eat dinner at a place tailored more for drunken camaraderie and less for people with working tastebuds. I look forward to improvements next time I'm back, I just hope I'll be sober enough to enjoy it. read more

Gladi8or Brews & Billiards - Flight of beers - Bars Near Me - Covina, California

Took a chance at the brand new Location of Gladi8ors in Covina. I'll give you run down on the beers. They are safe and tasty. Went through each one since they have flights. Romulus (Irish) Red was tasty, the Arena Haze does well, the wheat ale and Kolsch were good. The oatmeal stout which is the Centurion stout was like drinking a Guinness with a nice finish, they have a kitchen which is a plus. I had the Mex Pizza( chorizo , jalapeños, pepperoni, and meatballs) and it's ok but they definitely have various options for food. The service was alright. It wasn't as busy but it took a min for my flights to get to me. Hopefully they can improve on that. But overall this new place has fun, booze and food. And that marks all 3 for me. I hope they can add more beer options totaling to at least 12-16 beers. But for their 8( minus the lager on draft) or 7 on tap, it's safe to say it's a cool little spot. Come before 3 or 4 because this place will get full. It's a Friday today so it makes sense. read more
