I've been coming here more often lately, and the service keeps getting better every visit. The Glenn has created such a welcoming atmosphere, and the bartenders are all friendly, attentive, and genuinely make you feel like a valued customer. I have to give a special shoutout to Alex. The level of service is outstanding--after getting to know me as a regular, he has my beer ready by the time I get to the bar. It's a small gesture, but it shows how attentive and personable he is. He always greets me with a smile, remembers what I like, and makes every visit feel effortless. Great drinks, great people, and excellent customer service. If you're looking for a place where you'll be treated like more than just another customer, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

So, back in the day when my good friend Jim owned this bar, it was classic, I think. It was the neighborhood bar, all of us old-timers walked to the local watt and it was great. Now, you've drug dealers in the bathroom selling their bullshit. Outside they offer you periqco, I have no idea what that is. Anyway, I don't do drugs, I learned from the people here... stay away from this place. read more

Sick ass place. Soany & Aly were super cool & attentive. They keep us here always!! Good people and good ambience!!

This place is everything a great dive bar should bb, welcoming, and full of character. The drinks are strong and affordable, the regulars are friendly, and the bartenders know how to keep the vibe relaxed and fun with a healthy pour! On karaoke nights, it really shines, zero pressure, lots of enthusiasm, and just the right amount of chaos! Whether you're belting out a guilty-pleasure song or just cheering from the bar, it's the kind of spot that turns a casual stop into a memorable night. read more

Last night was my second time visiting the Glen and I had an overall good experience. I actually really like this dive bar as the vibe is super chill and they host karaoke nights. I was surprised to see that Stewart & Grab was within the same plaza and also collaborates with the bar. They have QR codes in which you can order from the restaurant but unfortunately for me though they were closed last night lol. I'm definitely looking forward to ordering food from Stewart & Grub on the next visit! When we arrived it was pretty poppin' for a Sunday night. We couldn't find a table so we settled for the bar top. I had a draft pint of Ultra and it was pretty warm, besides that no complaints regarding the drinks. All was great and after a few brews I eventually mustered up the courage to sing karaoke. I honestly had a blast lol. Unfortunately some guys started bothering me but the security was quick to handle the situation which I appreciated. Besides the inevitable misogynistic drunks, I had a hell of a good time here and would return again. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this lounge. I came to enjoy the night like everyone else, but the DJ clearly took issue with me because I wasn't enjoying her music. I wasn't being disruptive or disrespectful , I simply wasn't vibing with the set. From what I could see, I wasn't the only one who wasn't feeling the music either. Instead of handling things professionally, the situation escalated for no reason. The manager ended up asking me to leave, even though I had done absolutely nothing wrong. I wasn't causing a scene, bothering anyone, or breaking any rules. It felt personal and unnecessary. Guests should be able to enjoy (or not enjoy) music without being targeted or removed. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning read more

This was a cool place. I had my reservation about it from the outside pulling up cause it is in a small strip of small businesses but once you're inside the aesthetics were cool, pool tables, music and good seating for a big group like I had with me. Drinks weren't top notch but did the trick for some pre dinner partying we did. Staff greeted us and wished us well leaving, nice friendly faces. read more

Alex is the best bartender here. He always greets us with a good attitude and is attentive. Plus he makes the best drinks! read more

Number one bartender Alex is amazing. The drinks are delicious. I love that they have specials every day. The only downfall is they remove the green teas from the post menus otherwise drinks are amazing and the beers always cold. Love the karaoke and the DJ Knights. read more

Excited this place is so close to my parent's house. Stopped by for a quick drink and a few games of pool. Kim, the bartender was really nice and definitely someone I would randomly come visit. Like that I can order food from next door and bring it in. Okay, I know this is a weird thing to like about this place, but when I went to the restroom, I like that they had a rail where I can put my phone or drink. As a woman, I always have to figure out where to put my phone down. I also worry about leaving my drink unattended. Thought that was brilliant and more bars should do the same. I guess they have karaoke on some nights and they were also going to be showing the UFC fight. Chill place to be in Downey. Will make it a point of stopping by next time I'm in town. read more

The Glen is a good vibe especially with no cover covers charged at the door. Awesome DJs and a great place to dance the night away. Alex the bartender is AMAZING! He takes good care of his customers and made the drinks very tasty. Thank you! read more

I went to the glen last night with my friends and this is my first review about this establishment, The bartenders/staff were friendly, affordable drinks. ONLY THING is, management, your location smelled in the inside of the bar like a convalescent hospital that hasn't been cleaned. Idk if any one has complained but I left early due to the smell was very unpleasant and I couldn't continue being there last night since the odor was so pungent. That's why I'm giving 2 stars. read more

Monday's are the best! The drinks are lit! Best bar in town ask for Soany she will take good care of you!

First time at the glen... what a great hidden gem... good atmosphere, good music and even better drinks... specially from my new fav bartender Alex! read more

The bartenders gave the worse service. I asked for a drink at least 5 times in 20 minutes. No attention was given. These bar tenders were selective on who they attended. I've always had a good experience until tonight. Poor service! Horrible customer service. read more

Cheap drinks, good music, pool tables. What more do you want in a dive bar? This has always been my go-to spot for happy hour. I drive all the way from Rancho Cucamonga to enjoy drinks and catch up with friends. A big part of what makes this place special is our favorite bartender, Gadget--she always makes us feel welcome and even knows us all by name. It's so great to have a place with great drinks and service where I can catch up with my friends. Weds happy hours with gadget are our favorites! Alex is awesome as well. read more

Great spot, but Wednesdays are the best! I come here just for the bartender, Gadget--fun, friendly, and always brings great energy. The music is on point, the drinks are excellent, and the vibe is just right. Highly recommend stopping by, especially midweek! read more

Alex is the best bartender at the Glen hands down. Fast service coo asf on it when it gets crowded. Hustler !!!!!!!!

Small please 85% of men. Considering returning on karaoke night, just because I need to know. I'll give my real review then. Tonight it was like Walking into a time capsule and returning back to 1995. Which is usually a cool place to visit. Just not tonight. I liked the advertising /Promotion monitors. Good service and Friendly staff. read more

This bar could not be what it is without the best duo with Alex and Sabrina. They make the atmosphere here much better. They sure deserved a big raise. read more

We showed up mid day on Sunday but they had the game on and they played music for about 10 min during half time but then put the game on and the volume was extremely high. Not to thrilled about the volume. The drinks were good but when you can't converse because the volume is too high on the tv it's kind of a turn off. read more

The Glen - ASK FOR ALEX !!! - Karaoke Near Me - Downey, California

Cool vibe great bartenders until an employee named Karina decided to intervine and involve herself into a conversation between family non confrontational and decided her opinion which had zero context about the conversation and felt her view about what her thoughts in a drunk state mattered and then still followed us outside and haggled us about what she felt mattered and then strongly stated how she works there and no one can tell her anything continued to follow us to the car and antagonized us to where it felt like she wanted to provoke negativity and conflict. Not needed and won't go back to a negative environment!!!! I hope for the sake of this business they will address this employee and fyi this has been seen several times and never thought we would be victims of a drunk employee!!! read more

I would say The Glen is a hit or miss, Fridays and weekends after Dodger games it gets pretty packed and they play decent music. The only problem I have is that space is limited inside, so if you happen to go on a busy night, you might struggle to find seating. Drinks are good and the vibes are cool too! read more

this place is pretty cool and comfy; Alex is "THE BARMAN". He always take care of me and my homies!!! Once i forgot my card and he keep it safe for me. This place isn't the same on his days off. read more

Love this spot. Close to home and very nice. Gadget is an awesome bartender. All my friends come here and enjoy happy hour.

Wish I could give it 5 stars but they need to work on it being more clean. I love this place but it needs a bit of work. I love the service, the bartenders are great love Aly and I can't remember the guy bartenders name but they're all great read more

The glen makes a crazy and wild af jager bomb.. not have I ever seen a jager bomb made like that. Usually I pound a beer with a shot of jager but add rebus into the mix and your jacked. Good service Cool ambiance. Best part is getting carded. Makes me feel young again. Haven't learned any bartenders names but I think it's cause they pour correctly. Come get a drink Wednesdays at the glen read more

The worst bar to go in Downey if you're a woman. If you do not pay attention to a guy there he will go after you to the parking lot to look for you and will break your window with an item and the WORST part about it is that the bartender is in it and will help out, this is the only reason I'm writing this review because he works there!. I know there's a lot of bad people out there but if a worker is in it and helping out now there's a problem. So I'm sure this has happened multiple times. Please be very careful ladies!! read more
