Esther C.

Not my first review, but I still feel this bar is the most chill in the area. Love it. Good people, good service.

Outside

Randomly decided to try this spot, this seems like a local go to spot. Everyone seemed to know each other and the staff was friendly. They had a decent beers on drafts and the music was great.

Saloon doors at the entrance

Stumbled into the Tender Trap this weekend and it did not disappoint. The outside is very unassuming, but once you open that door you're greeted by 2 old school saloon style doors, and from that moment on, you know you're in for a good time! The decor was great, lots of great pictures (JFK), nice long wooden bar, and a few other tables to sit at. They had a pinball machine, pool table, a few TVs, and a jukebox for some added entertainment. Drinks were good, bartender and crowd were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and music was good! Will definitely be back!

Winston only drinks Bow-wow-tini's at the Trap! Great staff here too... Good pours and cold beer

This place is just SO darn cool. Full of boisterous laughter, and brimming with wise and funny conversations of regulars, seated merrily at the bar....this bar is definitely THE place to be. One pool table in the corner, but no people fighting over it. Games, conversation, beers in hand, people are friendly, welcoming and sweet. The bar tender was the NICEST. We are definitely going to be back here, again - the vibes here are just phenomenal!

Dicey. I like it. Great drink prices and they carry Templeton Rye Whiskey so that's a plus.

Came here for brunch and college football. Our server was super helpful and attentive, the food…read moreportions were very generous, and th flavors were very tasty. The green chilaquiles were flavorful, and th beans at the bottom were a pleasant surprise. The mac and cheese was super cheesy, and the pita bread was a interesting accompaniment. Ceviche needed a bit more flavor but overall good flavors. Buffalo wings needed more buffalo sauce. Parking was available in the back, but also some spots on the main side of Azusa.

This is a tough review to write. Congregation Ale House was THE place to go before Covid. Amazing…read morebeers, delicious food, a cool hybrid restaurant setup, attentive staff with cool uniforms. The place was the sh*t. I've come here several times over the past couple years and it's more and more dead at the restaurant every time. The waitresses are absolutely dreadful. Every request is forgotten or takes 20 mins to arrive at the table. When we arrived we waited 20 mins for a waitress. We asked for some sauce, they forgot. We ordered a pizza, which was delivered to the wrong table. When we wanted to leave, the check took 20 mins as well. Now I have a crying baby and I'm waiting for them to try and split the check two ways and I eventually give up knowing that the task is too much for them to handle and just pay it all on one card. We had to track down the waitresses multiple times. It's like they have NO ability to anticipate the needs of their customers. "They ordered, pizza, maybe I should bring some plates". Nope! "They'll probably want their sauce before the food item is ICE COLD". Nope! Anytime we went into the restaurant the girls were on their phones. There were five tables in the restaurant tonight so there really was no excuse. I think this will be the last time I ever go to this restaurant. Unfortunately, the reputation of the old Congregation Ale House kept me coming back even when time after time, the service was abysmal, however, now that Congregation's former glory is thoroughly tarnished I can honestly say that I will not be coming back and I encourage everyone else to do the same. Quality like this cannot be tolerated. Travis, the former owner, would be ashamed of this fall from grace. R.I.P. Congregation Ale House

Would definitely come back! I have been meaning to come…read morehere and by what a treat! I had the blue cheese wedge. My husband had the prime rib, baked potato and clam chowder. My son had the cheeseburger and fries! All exceptional!! Kevin was our waiter and I was in awe because the also handled the bar. There was close to 50 people inside and he handled it seamlessly and with grace. Someone give this guy a raise! Inside had a bar area and a restaurant area. We sat in the bar area! What a treat with the festive decor and music. They have a band from 9 to close. Bingo and other fun stuff check out their website. On every review I have to write something negative or room for improvement: hmm can't think of anything. Oh give Kevin some help!! Other than that everything was fantastic. Plenty of parking... this may be my new go to!

They have karaoke in the main bar lounge check the times on their website. The maintaining room is beautiful 60s nostalgia. The service is great the waitresses there are always pleasant and friendly. The bartenders are funny and efficient and quick. Please if you go find out when they're having the barley beef soup it's probably one of the best soups in Glendora that we've had! They have a great selection on their menu, prime, rib, fish and chips, shrimp cocktail, French onion, soup, steak, and fish of the day. They also have a daily blue plate special that you could get on a discount. The restaurant is really good great food great people a lot of locals go.. and if you want to beat the heat step over to Continental restaurant and bar in Glendora, where it's cool shady the lights are dimmed perfectly and you're gonna have a spectacular time! The continental restaurant and bar in Glendora gets our five star Yelp review in our personal recommendation! Bon appétit
