The Glendale Tap is located on the corner of San Fernando Road and Magnolia (considered Glendale/LA on that side of town already) I wanted to visit this brewery before heading down to the other one on the same block. Plenty of street parking around the area. On the inside, they have A/C running, pool tables and plenty of seating as well, they have two small TV's that I could see. It was not packed or crowded at the time that I arrived. They also have an outdoor patio with more seating as well as another pool table. A very chill atmosphere and plenty of beer on tap to try. Featuring wheat beers, sours, India Pale Ales, stouts and all styles in between. They even have a jukebox inside to play the jams. Interior is giving "mechanic shop" vibes and even offer "canned beer to go" Service is great and friendly as well. To cool down, I decided to try one of the beers on tap: IPA-American "Diamonds and Gasoline" 6.4% made by Cellarmaker Brewing Company Oakland, CA. I decided to get a 10ouz pour. Very smooth and not overwhelmingly strong. Refreshing and tasted perfect during a hot Sunday afternoon. Plenty of activities to do here while you enjoy your beer or any other cocktail of your choice. I wish I lived closer since this is a chill spot to come out and hang. Gald I came by and checked them out. I recommend you visit them if you are nearby this location. read more

This is a perfect spot for when you just want to grab a few beers with friends - very laid back with an inviting patio. Music is not loud so you can actually converse. They have a pool table, darts, and a few other games. They don't serve food but have food vendors come out there, or you can always bring your own food if you want. TVs always have sports on. And of course, the abundance of beers on tap - it's just so many. And, I don't know how they do it but every single beer I tried there was fresh. There must be around 60 different kinds, not sure how they keep all fresh like that. read more

Food, Beer & Entertainment. It's a solid selection if you're in the area looking for a place to checkout. I imagine that the local rave about this place frequently. It's neighboring another brewery on the exact same street. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the beer and food. I believe it's a pop up kitchen reading the previous reviews and pictures. This particular evening they offered a middle eastern option; Lahmajunes. It's a creative spin on a taco served with lemon slices. It was a relaxing evening read more

Always a blast coming here. Tons of beer to choose from. They have indoor and outdoor seating with food vendors showing up. Also outdoors they have a section with ping pong table, dart board, and other games as well. Inside they have a pool table and a juke box. During the weekend it gets very busy but you can always get your beer in a timely manner. Parking can be tricky since there is also paperback down the street fyi. read more

Dive bar vibes but they have so many beers! Very nice people serving us. No food on site so we didn't stay too long. You can order food from a food truck at Paperback but we enjoyed them the day prior. A ping pong table in a covered space basically outside. Some other games too. The locals love this space and I would too. read more

Glendale tap is definitely a great spot if you enjoy beer, they have a great selection of craft beer including local beers as well - when you first walk up it looks likes a small whole in the wall bar but it's surprisingly big - there's so many cool antiques covering the entire bars walls the establishment is very clean and dimly lit which created a really cool atmosphere. The bartender was super friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the beers. They have an outdoor patio where I seen some ppl with there dog so it's pet friendly 10/10 - They also have a taco stand on Friday night and let me tell you it was amazing I had to get their card, They also had a game room with a ping pong table, darts and a ton of board game - this place is definitely a Gem !!!!

Super cute bar, surprised I did not stop in here sooner. They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. I went on a Friday night and they had a taco pop up outside. They have a lot of different beers on tap (obviously, given the name) and the outdoor seating section was so cute. read more

Craft beer bar located in the more industrial area of Glendale with taplist / selection of about 50 beers that appeals to 'old money' and 'new money' beer fans alike. The folks here are super friendly and the place itself has an old school feel to it. It kind of has the same energy / feel to Toronado in SF if that makes sense (at least to me). I've been here a handful of times over the years with my most recent visit being a meet up with a few great beer loving friends. Outside, there were two screens showing college football games so it was perfect for the group I was with. In terms of food, I don't think they have a kitchen or provide food themselves, but they host many great vendors and up and coming food folks that appeal to the craft beer community. For example, I had AGL Craft Meats here for the first time years ago. Really great Texas style BBQ. Parking is pretty easy to find along the streets especially if you're willing to walk a bit as this place is located in what feels like a more industrial area. I really enjoy this spot every time I come here and it always has something that I want to try or have enjoyed previously on the menu. read more

Great beer selection. Only thing I'd warn is the service fee they add on - buy a couple of the more expensive craft beers and it could add up quickly. Other than that, it's such a classic neighborhood bar with lots of character and good vibes. read more

I love this place. I lost my credit card my bad not their fault. They gave me enough money for gas to get home. I really don't think places like this exist in la now. Thank you read more

Love this place ! Always a vibe ! Beer is delicious and the service is super friendly! Shout out to Alex for being amazing !

Too dark, loud, and not welcoming. Service meh. They don't serve food, but have vendors outside.

This was my first time at Glendale Tap and I had a great time. The friendly bartender gave me a few recommendations and she hit the nail on the head, her picks all had a unique taste. The bartender also mentioned they have 52 Beers on tap , they literally have pages of beer selections . The only bummer is no food. But they allow you to bring outside food in and there's a food truck parked outside the bar. The interior is dimly lit and spacious with plenty of bar stools, tables and booths. They also have a pool table, couple TV's , and jukebox. Out back, they have a nice size beer garden with a large T. V, heat lamps, and plenty of comfortable seating. A great space for groups and small parties. The bar had a good vibe. I Definitely plan on returning. read more

Impressive is an understatement when describing Glendale Tap's list of bottles, cans, and draft beers. The selection of beers is huge. I was able to find a very rare hazy ipa on tap, a pleasant surprise to say the least. I love the dimly lit, casual vibe. Parking nearby is pretty tough and limited to street parking, but it's worth the minor hassle if you're in the mood for great craft beer. They also had some nice stouts available by the pour. These beers aren't cheap, but it may be the only opportunity to ever try them. The bartender was social, and I could tell this is a spot where locals hang out. I would too if I lived in the area. read more

Just moved in to this neighborhood and found this place. They are VERY Friendly and have good vives at this place also they have good food.

After a long weekend working back to back I needed to replenish with some cold brews.Alex was a sweet heart letting us know of the games we can play! I had to have more than 1 drink of the Engkanto brew of Honey Ale imported from the Philippines! There is also food trucks available for some smash burgers and specialty fries! read more

Glendale Tap is full of surprises. My friend and I had a few up the street and we thought we could keep going so we stopped by what I thought would be a neighborhood corner bar. When we walked in it had that kind of divey environ but as soon as I got handed the beerlist I was surprised the extensive and impressive selection and realized this place wasn't what it seemed. Sure, there's a the dive bar vibe with beer signs but if you look closely, they're cheap local favorite from around the country so it was a calculated move. I chose a beer and decided to take it outside with my dog. I'm glad I went outside because I saw their bottle shop and it lured me away from my friend to check it out. Again, I was surprised to find that their retail selection was just as impressive as their taplist. I could have stayed for some more but my friend had to go back to his family. Surprisingly, I haven't gone back yet. read more

Early afternoon Saturday visit. Found convenient free street parking easily. No dedicated parking lot for the business. One bartender. Service was great. 52 beers on tap. About 10 dedicated to Octoberfest. Bartender was friendly and helpful with great suggestions. Tried multiple free samples. Dive bar feel with a hipster menu. Tons of great beers to chose from. If you enjoy beer you should check this place out. Plenty of seats at the bar. Plenty of indoor seating for small and large groups. Plenty of outdoor seating for small and large groups. There is a pool table, foosball, and ping pong table. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Glendale Tap - Back patio - Beer Bar Near Me - Glendale, California

For one, a gorgeous bar with great taps and products which provide local and interesting beers. I give it one star over the bar tender with the dreads, whos name was obviously forgettable for his horrible service. Rude and hating his job, he made rude remarks. I was completely civil. Some bartenders need to retire.other than that a 10/10 for product quality. read more

I discovered this spot about a year ago while casually browsing Yelp and Google Maps for new bars and/or breweries in the Glendale area just to check out. My normal go-to's have been predominantly Tavern on Brand, The San Fernando and The Roost on this side of town thus far and I just wanted another alternative for when I really just want beer and a spot that's relatively quiet. I had been somewhat apprehensive about visiting this spot because of the more recent negative reviews at the time where a few Yelpers and Google reviewers had mentioned that the spot is anti-Republican and one or two bartenders that were racist towards certain ethnicities. Being a long-time Yelper myself, I'm well aware that there are folks that post reviews just to smear a business for a perceived slight or unsatisfactory service. You can usually sort of tell those types of reviews over others where it presents the business in a more balanced light. Anyway, having said all of the above I eventually popped into the Glendale Tap late one Saturday at around 11pm back in late Sept 2023--figuring by this time, the majority of the bar-hopping night crowd should have moved on to other bars or venues and sure enough, it was practically dead--save for the outdoor crowd and a few patrons inside playing pool. There were two male bartenders that night. One was a taller, skinny white guy. He seemed nice enough. And the other one that night was an older gentleman hailing from El Sereno which makes us somewhat close neighbors as I'm from Lincoln Heights and we bonded over a conversation about 'the hood'. It was this gentleman that made this spot a rather enjoyable night for a night cap after a cardio workout at Round 1 Burbank playing Dance Dance Revolution and Pump It Up. It's a small-ish bar on the inside and is dimly lit. There is a TV that's awkwardly placed on one corner of the space high up against that corner (and you have to tilt your head in an unnatural position to see that TV) and then another TV that's placed on the 'end of the bar' closest to the restrooms. No TV's line the other wall where there are these mini booths with tables and chairs. Side note, there's technically 'two' entrances and a lone door that's an exit only. One way to enter the bar is 'from the back' where they have the outdoor seating. The other is on the corner of San Fernando Rd, a non-descript heavy wooden door. Just give it a good yank and it'll eventually open. Restrooms are located closest to the 'back door' next to the lone pool table and that glass case with canned beers and beer kegs from the breweries that they source their beers from. They have a digital jukebox. Download the AMI Music app from your smartphone, add a credit card, load up credits and play to your hearts content. Enough said. Ambiance. It's a small bar. I wouldn't say it's intimate but definitely meant for smaller groups or one-on-one, than larger groups but they have outdoor seating for larger groups. Beer selection is extensive. The bartender will give you a booklet with a long list of beers: blond ales, dark beer, pilsners, sours, you name the variety and chances are, it's probably on there. It's a constantly rotating selection based on what the bartenders told me so just because it's there one weekend, might not mean it'll be there again the next weekend. It's probably not as extensive as the Arts District Brewery or Angel City Brewery in Little Tokyo but for such a small bar, it's pretty good. And oh yea, make no mistake, this place is beer only No wine or liquor as far as I know. All in all, I like it enough that I would include it in my rotation of bars that I would stop by after a cardio workout. (It bears noting here that there's another brewery next door called Paperback Brewery that closes early. Don't confuse that brewery for this brewery because the space they occupy are so close between the two that it might seem like they are the same but they are totally two distinct businesses). read more

A fun, cozy spot with more than 50 beers on tap. The selection was why we decided to try it and it didn't disappoint! Met the owner who was super friendly and knowledgeable. I was looking for a brown ale and the one she suggested was probably the best brown I've ever had. My husband prefers stout and there were so many to try, that were already planning to return. Also a big thanks to the owner who saved our lunch by giving us forks and napkins when we discovered the place we got takeout from had forgotten. read more

Sort of dive bar-y feel with great (over 20) selection of beers on tap, including Pliney the Elder (which is a long love of mine since college). Nice indoor/outdoor space w/ pool table inside if you wanted to play. Bartender was really nice and friendly. Friend asked about why Monkish wasn't on the tap list, and he called someone to ask very personable! They also offer a selection of the beers in to-go cans! Good place to stop by if you're looking for something casual to hang out at read more

Slush - good. Such a divey feel of a bar and I'm here for it. I came during the day, but I can see this place being very active at night. I wanted something light and something to quench my thirst. I had the slush which is a sour and perfect for the heat. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating as well. read more

I started coming here because my fiance has been a regular for years. Even as the bartenders change, they're always friendly and it has been that way for both him and I every time we come. Since Covid, they've started having food vendors come. They post on their FB page what they'll be serving that day so you can check in advance before you come. Because of this, I've started frequenting this place more because I'm always ready for food. The only downside is that their prices are on the expensive side averaging $10. Well, I guess also add the fact that they don't do tasters. Their beer selection is mostly IPAs and stouts which isn't what I normally drink but I can always find something I'm willing to try. read more

Sweet beer bar, with fair prices, and chill dive bar vibe with pool table. Bar is worth five stars for the wide variety of craft beer they have. I got Pliny the elder, and also tried a rare bourbon barrel aged modern times stout. Sick spot! read more

So, this is a fascist bar. My friends and I visited this establishment for a little get-together. The first thing I noticed when entering was that all bartenders and patrons were white. Our group consisted mainly of Asian and Hispanic Americans. Someone there didn't like the hat that my friend was wearing and requested that he take it off. My friend refused and offered to leave. That offer was refused and all dissipated, or so we thought. Next thing that happens is 10+ Glendale police officers and 9 police cruisers show up. My friends and I were escorted out by the police without ever being asked to leave by the establishment. The Glendale PD were awesome stating, "You guys did nothing wrong". Don't come here unless your white and support the DNC... read more

Glendale Tap - Throwback vibes! - Beer Bar Near Me - Glendale, California

The beers great. It's the service that brings this place down. I ordered a drink and the tender found it more appropriate to text before pouring it. I read about the racist tenders. I think it's possible by maybe one person at least, but not the whole staff. The rotating food vendors are nice. The games are nice. This place just needs to tighten the SERVICE. There's a reason the brewery up the block is jam packed and this one has maybe 13 customers in it. read more
