Tucked away in an industrial corner of Glendale, this relaxed alehouse boasts over 50 taps, a cozy dive vibe, and a rotating selection of delicious food pop-ups.
"Glendale Tap has an impressive 52 rotating taps often pouring stouts, IPAs, pale ales, and ciders. Out back on the patio, there are nightly food pop-ups, but outside food is also allowed in. The inside offers a different experience than other alehouses around town with cozy brick walls and red velvet-topped pool tables down the center." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang
"They’ve got 52 taps of craft beer from around the globe and free peanuts (the hallmark of any good bar), and while they’re not explicitly a sports bar, they do have a couple screens that will be showing games on Sunday." - kat hong, james montgomery
"With dozens of taps and a lot of hard-to-source beer, Glendale Tap has emerged as one of the city’s best beer bars over the past decade. The semi-hidden corner location also now welcomes a variety of food pop-ups." - Farley Elliott
"Not counting the bottom shelf of my fridge, there are very few places as committed to hard-to-find beer as Glendale Tap, the dive bar that’s turned into one of the best craft beer shops in town during COVID. Each time I stop by, they have a new set of incredible beers I’ve never seen before in LA, like hazy IPAs from Equilibrium, sours from De Garde, and barrel-aged stouts from Anchorage Brewing. If those don’t mean anything to you, trust me when I say that list will make any beer nerd’s head explode. For Thanksgiving, I picked up a bottle of De Garde’s Ivy, a wild ale aged on spruce pine tips for two years, and it was among the best beers I’ve had this year. This bar will also continue to host vendors serving food to-go, even with the new stay-at-home order, including some of our favorite pop-ups in the city, like Kuya Lord, Bootleg Pizza, and Uncle Johnny’s Burgers." - brett keating
"Housed in a vintage auto shop, Glendale Tap is a wonderful neighborhood bar that every other neighborhood is probably jealous of. Over the last year, they’ve turned into one of the best craft beer shops in town, featuring a rotating list of hard-to-find beers like hazy IPAs, sours from De Garde, and barrel-aged stouts shipped in from Anchorage. It’s a beer lover’s dream, as well as a hub for the hottest pop-ups in town, like Kuya Lord, Love Hour, and AGL Craft Meats - A.K.A. the best of all possible worlds?
