Interior north wall

Impeccable collection of brewing ephemera, 57 taps, multiple games, outdoor patio, bar snacks.

Great beer selection, great indoor and outdoor vibes, reasonable prices. They don't serve food, but there is usually a food truck or local vendor out back. Love this place.

The extended beer list - i ordered  Sunshine Solstice Farmhouse Ale - Saison 7.2% ABV Humble Sea Brewing Co. Santa Cruz, CA

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 !!!! I will be coming back % - street parking - would suggest ubering -

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.

Came here after paperback brewery to shoot some pool and was pleasantly surprised they now have ping-pong and other games! Great little spot! Really nice selection of beers and even some good seltzers. Alex took care of us and she was fabulous! Very friendly! We will be back!

Yeeeowww

Service is always great and they have lots of games like darts, pong, foosball, board games etc! Great place to hang and have some fun.

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.

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!

Everything is so overpriced it feels like they are intentionally letting you know you are not good enough to be one of their customers. You can get this type of food and wine at 99 other places with nicer employees, easier parking and much less attitude. The staff behaves as if this was a high school not a wine bar. Do yourself a favor and don't come here. I highly recommend the classic LA ambience at other close by establishments such as The Oaks on Bronson, the Alley in Silverlake or The Cara on Western instead. This place is like a bad Ryan Murphy series. It takes itself way too seriously. I've given them over 4 chances to change my mind since I live around the corner, and they never cease to amaze me when it comes to their entitled snotty staff & overpriced alcohol plus the parking is absolutely impossible! I even had to help customers break out of the parking lot one evening because the gate closes at a particular hour, and the restaurant doesn't even bother to tell you the gates shut at a particular time way before the restaurant closes. you're on your own, good luck getting your car out! avoid this place like the plague. I wish I could get back to $500. I've spent here over the past two years.

I graciously took them to the counter. I was surprised and uncomfortable when the bartender openly complained about the tip I left. This interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary, particularly given that it was my first visit and no effort was made to provide a level of service that would warrant such a reaction. I believe feedback regarding gratuity should never be expressed directly to a customer, as it creates an uncomfortable environment and reflects poorly on the establishment. I expected a higher standard of professionalism and customer service. I am sharing this feedback in the hope that it will be addressed and that future guests will have a more positive experience.

They are pet and kid friendly and involved with and supportive of the surrounding community and artsy vibe culture. They have a small indoor seating area and a cozy shaded side patio with a coming soon expanded section to make the patio space larger. The vibes are always fun, especially when they host different food and artsy vendors and live DJ's. The staff is not overly friendly, but they get the job done; they greet you, they serve your beer, they pick up the empties and repeat. Unfortunately, there is only one unisex restroom, so depending on how busy they are or if there is a popular themed event you can expect to be waiting in a line for a while. Another thing to mention, there is very limited street parking, so patience is key and/or walking shoes for when you find something in the surrounding streets.

Most of the time breweries don't really have the best food, but this one had amazing food! Service was prompt and very friendly. I got a blonde brew and it was so good and refreshing.

We ordered many items on the menu but there were only two things we liked; the Mackerel and the Eggplant. Unfortunately the rest of the food was not good at all. Another thing was that none of us got buzzed from the beer. lol Majority of us agreed that the beer was watery but maybe that wasn't a bad thing. hahahaha Again, it's a cute place especially for summer time. And the Mackerel was really really good. I will probably go back for it.

Its an intimate setting that I think does best with its neighborhood bar environment and drinks for a first date but i wouldnt exactly bring all the girls here you know?
