I'm a local and usually enjoy coming to Stubborn Mule--the staff is typically great (shoutout to Taylor behind the bar). However, my birthday dinner there with my 12-year-old daughter didn't match my past experiences. Our server, Kai, seemed inattentive throughout the meal. I had to flag her down multiple times for help, even though it wasn't a busy night. The biggest issue was at the end--we waited about 20 minutes just to get our check. I tried asking another server, but he needed her to handle it. When she finally came over, she said she needed a manager to apply a coupon, but then got sidetracked helping another table instead of resolving it. Meanwhile, my daughter was getting restless, and I eventually had to go directly to the manager myself. The manager was great and handled everything quickly. Only then did Kai re-engage. To management: when guests are finished eating, getting the check promptly really matters--it's how the experience ends. I'll definitely be back, but hoping for more attentive service next time. read more

Came here on a lunch date with the hubby, enjoyed a cold draft and burgers. We sat outside, enjoyed the weather and the food! The staff is all friendly and you can tell they get along which I always appreciate! Will definitely add to my summer rotation! read more

Was in the area and had some time to kill so came here for a beer and light meal with the hubby. We sat at the bar and it took a while to be noticed by the staff. However, she did make it up by coming to check up on us a few times while we were there. We ordered the trio tacos to share and were so impressed with the chips and chili. It was surprisingly really good and I'm not usually a chili kind of girl. read more

Stubborn Mule Glendora - Inside the establishment - Sports Bars Near Me - Glendora, California

We've been here twice now and absolutely love it. The atmosphere is super relaxed, the service is amazing, and the food comes out fast and always hits the spot. The wings are huge and super meaty, and the honey sriracha sauce is so good. The drink selection is massive, with weekend specials too. Outdoor seating is really nice, and if you want to catch a game, all the TVs are inside. We bring the whole family, so don't hesitate to bring the kids. According to my daughter, the chicken tenders are "gas." read more

Check out the burgers! Blue cheese burger and brisket are awesome! Busy place = good food.

This was the first time at the stubborn mule for myself and my two friends. We really loved this dining experience. It's a nice restaurant pub with lots of sports monitors throughout. The service was excellent our waitress. Ashley was friendly and professional, and made sure that everything we needed was there. I had the California melt and they cooked it just the way I like it and it was delicious my friends enjoyed their sandwiches as well. One had a short rib sandwich which he said was the best ever. We would definitely eat here again when in the area it was a great experience with some great food and service read more

We came here tonight with a group of friends (our headcount kept changing: started at 12, ended up with 9) to celebrate a friend before she heads into surgery for breast cancer. I had hoped to be organized and make a reservation, but didn't have a final number until we arrived before dinner. When I called earlier, they suggested arriving early (which we did) and I'm so glad we listened. Emily, the host, was incredibly kind and patient with our chaos. Large, fluctuating parties aren't easy, especially with a wait, but she kept us informed, comfortable, and never made us feel like a burden. She even helped us store a cake before we were seated, which meant a lot for such a special night. Our server, Taylor, was just as amazing. She fully embraced the chaos with separate checks (I know...), and she handled it seamlessly and with a great attitude the entire time. The food and drinks were great, but Emily and Taylor are truly what made the experience what it was. They helped turn what could have been a stressful, emotional evening into something really meaningful and memorable. Such a great spot for a girls' night, especially when it's in a season of life like this one. read more

Had such a great time at The Stubborn Mule! The drinks were really good and strong, exactly what we were hoping for. We also tried the pizza and it was delicious, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Great spot for a fun night out with friends! read more

Ashley at Stubborn Mule Glendora gave us one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. She was super personable, quick, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Thanks ASH!! read more

Every time I go to the Stubborn Mule I. Glendora and have Ashley as my server, I get the best service! I never asked her name before tonight, but now that I know it, I feel compelled to let her and others know that she is THE BEST! I'm really picky with my food order and she makes sure it's right every time. Plus, she's attentive, kind and just gets it. Thank you for being you, Ashley read more

I enjoyed another great meal here this past weekend! We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely! Our serve was also nice and fun, so we had a great time enjoying some food and drinks! We come here pretty much everytime we visit Glendora. This time I had the BLAT sandwich. The bacon was thick cut but a bit tough and greasy for me, but the rest of the sandwich was crispy and fresh. The pretzel appetizer was amazing!!! read more

It was a busy Saturday evening, but we were able to get a table for four without a long wait. This is a busy and popular place for watching sports and happy hour drinks. The menu has burgers, fish and chips, chicken or steak sandwiches and/or wraps, pizza, and salads. I really like their spacious patio, they have the music turned up which makes the place so lively. Great places for family and friends. They are open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. You will enjoy the food, drinks and service. Come on down and don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya! read more

EXCELLENT hidden gem! Staff was attentive, quick and friendly. Bella and Kia exceeded our expectations! My wife and I brought our 3yr old in and they both came up and were talking to him, brought his food out first, and you can tell they have a sincere interest in hospitality! Stubborn Mule should recognize these two for sure! All the food came out quick as well! Steak was cooked perfectly, club was tasty and I snagged some pizza from my son, too haha.

We came here for Sunday football & my boyfriend was in absolute heaven! He could see every game that was being played on their many TVs from his seat, he was giddy. We shared the ceviche with chips - I wasn't a big fan of this dish but my bf was happy with it. We also had the tuna melt, which was fantastic. The tuna tasted so fresh, it's mixed with the right amount of celery & mayo- melts can err on the side of being too heavy but not this one- they nailed it. The coffee was bold & flavorful, too. Our server was efficient & handled the crowd well with the help of bussers & food runners. We'll be back to watch some more football (shop on Poshmark) read more

We visited after a long day and what a find. We hadn't been to this town or location since before it changed names. Glendora is always such a nice downtown to visit anyway. Wife had a few different mules, all were fresh tasting and refreshing on these warm nights. I had simple beers, but again refreshing. Staff here were attentive and very friendly. Easy to adjust and relax here. We sat outside, and the air was nice. Sun was setting and the patio was clean and full of family friendly people. Kids were there, and well behaved (thank you families - ha). read more

Haven't had a date night/day with my wife for a while. Decided to try Stubborn Mule. Menu looked really good online. Got in and was seated right away. Place was pretty full. They took our order and it arrived pretty quick, but unfortunately our entrees arrived before our appetizers. No biggie. My wife got the BLTA. She was satisfied and it tasted pretty good. Salad was fresh and sourdough was nicely toasted. I ordered the Fish and Chips which was a specialty menu item. It was not what I expected. The fish had no taste and the fried batter was very soggy and had no taste. Safe to say the tarter sauce and the cole slaw was the only item in my plate that was seasoned. The steak fried were underseasoned as well. Disappointed. Service was great even though they were busy. But unfortunately towards the end it took a while for us to get out boxes and bill. Had to ask another employee that took our plates for extra boxes. Once we received out bill we paid and left. Don't think we will be returning here. Was really hoping to have a nice meal and alone time with my wife. read more

I took my wife and son out on a Saturday night to enjoy dinner. We arrived shortly before 5 PM and had no problem getting a table and the service by the hostess was excellent. I ordered a Cadillac margarita, my wife ordered a vodka mixed drink, and my son enjoyed a sprite, the mixed drinks were ok. Although I did not include a picture we started out with an appetizer of chips and chili, mixed with salsa and cheese dip. It was GOOD but before we were able to finish the chili, we ran out of chips. My suggestion is that they give you more chips with the dip, at almost $11 bucks the chips and salsa should be unlimited. Fir dinner I ordered the short rib melt, which was delicious. A little heavy on the mayo, but still good. My wife enjoyed the prime rib dip, and my boy devoured the burger . The service was consistent, and when we ordered a couple extra rounds of drinks, they were brought to us in a timely manner. I'm happy to see that this place is doing well. I'd heard a lot of positive comments about the food, overall not the best I've had, but certainly not the worst. Portions could be a little larger. In this day and age, it is rare to see a smiling staff and excellent service, It was very common here as there was not a need to keep requesting for refills. Our waitress was even proactive in refilling our water. Kudos to the management on creating a great little spot here for us Glendora residents. I will definitely be back . read more

Came here for lunch with a party of 5, we were seated right away. We had wings to share with the table and I ordered the short rib melt. I loved the wings that were naked and crispy. The waitress was so attentive and didn't mind giving us all our own ranch or blue cheese to dip. My short rib melt was just ok, a little dry for my liking despite the dip. The tater tots were super crispy and delicious. My coworkers all enjoyed their meals. Will definitely return. read more

You wanna go where everyone knows your name... Oh, wait - that was another bar! LOL! Well, everyone will at least recognize you here, at the "Mule" in Glendora! This space has been transformed from the bar business that it was before it became The Stubborn Mule, and you should thank every deity you worship for that transformation! Glendora now has a fun, local bar, that is clean (let me say that again... it is CLEAN!), where the food is better than just 'okay', the servers are friendly and has the BEST bartender: Jacquelyn. Bartenders don't get any better, anywhere. The menu items are a good variety and is typical pub-style food, but I would be SO HAPPY if they added a couple of pasta dishes to the mix. Weekly specials and soups change on Wednesdays and are creative and tasty. However, on occasion, the cooks are a bit heavy-handed with the salt, so if you're concerned about salt intake make sure to ask your server to tell the kitchen, "no added salt"; you can always add more yourself. My only complaint about the food is that the tacos are generally over-salted and the tortillas are greasy. If they could fix those two things, I'd be ordering the tacos all the time. It's nice that you can watch a variety of sports programs while munching, sipping and socializing, or ignore them and just sip and socialize. It's also great for families who can sit outside at the patio tables and watch their kids play in the section of Meda Ave. that has also been transformed into a space for family fun, with a golf putting area, games, fire pit, etc. Glendora has needed a place like the Mule for many years. So glad it's finally here! read more

It's been a year at least since we've been to this place and I remember it being a decent place to go. We returned today to meet up with a few friends and the service was exceptional. I don't know the young lady's name, the receipt says Bar A and we were there on 11/10 in the am/pm. This young lady was on top of her game and provided excellent service. The food was very good as well. It was a Monday morning/afternoon and it was nice to see all the TV's on sports shows. Great service, great food, great atmosphere. I'll be back! read more

The hostess was unkind and didn't want to assist us. She was not accommodating and holding a table for her friends. Not again. Glendora is a great city and you should hire top talent!! read more

Disappointed to write this considering I truly loved coming to this bar for a quick dinner and drink. We had become friendly with one of the former bartenders, Yesi, who took care of us and always treated us like family. When we had asked a bartender if she still worked there we were met with very unprofessional behavior and disrespect. Understandably if someone quits feelings may be hurt, blatantly bad mouthing someone and sharing personal information about them with guests is incredibly inappropriate. We felt uncomfortable and asked to close our check. When they realized we were defending her the bartender began to treat us poorly and we left immediately. Will never be going here again. read more

Very solid sports bar with excellent friendly wait staff. Came here on a Sunday early evening and the place is packed. Interestingly the streets in old town Glendora is in construction and very "dead" looking. Free street and public lot parking. The waitresses are really nice and very attentive. My friend ordered a mule and me a alcoholic lemonade. Both are good portions and yummy. Got some sliders with onion rings and it's sold bar food. read more

Two thumbs up for this place!!! It rocks! Amazing food and great atmosphere. Our server, Ashley, is hands down what makes this place worth coming back to. Always has a friendly smile on her face and a great sense of humor. Been here 3 or so times already with my family so I guess we're almost regulars now? We will keep coming back. read more

Came here with the family and we had a little bit of everything, fish and chips, calamari, potato skins, tots, chicken tenders, burger, salad, wrap, and onion rings, everything tasted good and the dips were also tasty. We came on a Saturday evening so it was obviously a little busy and we struggled a bit to get refills but for the most part, would definitely come back the food is good. They have a nice outdoor eating area and the decor inside is really cute, would love to go back and try an outside table. read more
