Highly recommend! Classic Glendale establishment!…read more The Famous has been under new ownership, a lovely woman, who has great new ideas for the bar. Lots of themed nights and engaging activities to really bring the community together. I love the creative and fun cocktails. Lots of asian themes but also traditional tiki drinks. Unfortunately parking may be a bit tough (you'll need to walk) - either street parking (paid in front), free street parking in the residential, or parking at the mall

(Drank 03/28/26 SA @ 6:00pm): How famous was this bar in Glendale?…read more After a late-afternoon film at the nearby AMC The Americana At Brand 18, my friend and I walked around a bit and eventually found ourselves at The Famous Bar. With the seemingly ever-changing landscape along Brand Blvd. in downtown Glendale, this establishment has been around since 2012 (which I believe was the first and only time I came here). Primarily known for its inventive craft cocktails and a killer whiskey selection, it was a nice place to sneak away into before or after your main event... or, maybe this could be the place to spend an entire evening. Would this bar famously make an impression on me to remember to return in the future!? PURCHASE(S) Fremont Brewing Dark Star Double Oatmeal Imperial Stout Beer 8.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($6.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): Dark brown color, coffee oatmeal roasty aroma, medium body, chocolate coffee oatmeal roasty toasty flavor, mouthfeel smooth finish, and coffee oatmeal roasty toasty aftertaste. This was a really tasty brew and my favorite of the two! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=ad_C9YTJYF9lVr2FOEQLkg 12" Margherita Pizza ($20.00 HH; Reg. $26.00): A simple pizza with a somewhat thin crust that was kind of cardboardy, the flavor was rather pedestrian with chewy mozzarella although the basil was fragrant and fresh. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=kdkvUttCLmMOAGQ1nyp5tg Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. Danish Red Amber Lager Beer 5.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH; Reg. $8.00): Dark amber red color, malty allspice aroma, low body, malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=QQjsTWce5Lstcxj5PowrYw Steak Fries ($7.00 HH; Reg. $9.00): This was an impulse buy as something to pair with my second beer. A decent portion-sized snack, each spud stick was hot, steaming, and thick and came with a side of ketchup. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=GVoy0nzxFUL6rHWaxNdG7Q SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a sole young woman behind the bar who handed us a menu and directed us to sit anywhere. After a few minutes of reviewing the menu, we each placed our order at the bar, our drinks were delivered quickly while the food took mere minutes to arrive at the table. We had to approach the bar each time we ordered something, but any empty glasses and plates were collected at the table. Once we closed out our tabs, we were thanked for coming as we headed out into the night. Everything was chill and easy - thank you! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I parked in the nearby original Glendale Galleria parking structure and simply walked over first to The Americana then to this place. Otherwise, there was limited parking along the main drag of Brand Blvd. and other surrounding side streets, the nearby Glendale Galleria II parking structure, The Americana parking structure that offered validation, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A dark cavernous speakeasy-like place with open space, various tables and couches strewn about, and a large long somewhat decorative bar with an impressive whiskey selection displayed behind it. I appreciated the exposed brick walls which gave it that old-time feel with a few framed pictures hung on them. Minimal natural lighting came through the front doors and windows while minimal electric ceiling lights filled in rest. There was at least one projection TV where we watched the Dodgers game while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SomLKsk1KVcemeOCHGOZfg ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to slip into The Famous Bar for the first time in over a decade, and if I found myself spending time in downtown Glendale again, I'd consider another visit. Sadly, I try to avoid the highly congested area as much as possible. I loved the fact that they had a daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and late-night SU-TH happy hours (10:30pm-close), so there was always a deal to be found. The drinks were the main reason you came, while the food was just an add-on. The prices were elevated, but you had a good menu selection of libations (nice local craft beer list) to choose from. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $42.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

It was easy to feel comfortable and even easier to want to come back. They have a really solid beer selection, but the real winner is their cider--it's 8% alcohol, which is insane for a cider, but hey, I'm not complaining. They had the hockey game on, which I definitely appreciated, and they also have a pool table where you can write your name down to play. Not sure if there's a charge for that, but either way, it's a nice touch. They're open pretty late, and while the location doesn't have a bunch of other bars or spots around, the upside is tons of parking--which I totally love. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out and maybe even making some new friends while you're there. (If you go in, tell the bartenders, I said hi)

I'll probably try out somewhere different next time before heading to dinner. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the over ambiance is fine. Not too loud and not too quiet. Service was nothing more than asking what you want to drink and then bringing it to you. No recommendations

I enjoyed using the billiard tables and playing darts. The bathrooms were also private, just very dark in the hallway to walk through, but the light switches work. You can follow the timeslots of the booking options online but there is an option to choose a custom time for more money. I like the chalkboard feature where you can name your party/hangout event and pretty much customize the sign to your liking. Would definitely like to do this again in the future. You can choose either the upstairs one (more people included) or the downstairs one. Parking can be paid if you park in the meters but there is some street parking you can be lucky with to park at for free.

Had such a great experience at IKI Restaurant. The atmosphere was amazing -- warm, relaxing, and one of those places that makes you actually enjoy staying there. The food was delicious and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. A special thank you to our waitress, "Jazmin". She was extremely kind, professional, and very skilled at what she does. Other staff members helped bring dishes and clear the table, but Jazmin was the one managing our experience throughout the night -- taking our orders carefully, following up on every request, checking in at the right times, and making sure everything flowed smoothly from beginning to end. She made us feel genuinely taken care of without being intrusive. You can tell when someone truly knows hospitality, and Jazmin absolutely does. Great staff, great service, and a really enjoyable experience overall. Definitely coming back. read more

Wow, wow, WOW--what an incredible culinary experience! This is, without a doubt, one of the best sushi restaurants we've ever experienced. The kitchen takes traditional Japanese flavors and elevates them with a creative, modern fusion approach, resulting in dishes that are beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and bursting with unexpected flavors. Every bite was thoughtfully crafted, and the combination of Japanese inspiration with innovative culinary techniques made the entire experience truly unforgettable. From the quality of the ingredients to the presentation and attention to detail, everything was exceptional. An absolute must-try for anyone who appreciates exceptional sushi and Japanese-inspired fusion cuisine! When you come ask for Jasmine who will make your experience exciting, fun and well balance with great service! read more

This restaurant didn't live up to the prices. The food quality was decent, but nothing that justifies how expensive it is. There are so many sushi restaurants around offering the same (if not better) quality with more variety and much better prices. The vibe also felt a bit disorganized.. service wasn't smooth and the overall experience just didn't feel well-managed. My server wasn't prepared on the manu either. Unfortunately, with so many better value options nearby, I don't see myself coming back. read more

No typical rolls…read more Price is high compared to typical sushi places but this is /NOT/ your typical sushi.. it's more traditional Japanese style. For the quality and generous portions - there is no regrets here! For the nigiri and omakase lovers - this is the spot! Last year we had the seaweed salmon which we ordered 3 times & the blue crab roll that won us over. It was such a memorable experience! Since then we kept an eye out for blue crab sushi wherever we go. So far nothing has measured up to how chef made it here. -- detailed omakase food section -- Sides - Ginger and wasabi (not the horseradish dyed green, the real one) was so good I was snacking on the ginger in between dishes. The texture of the green sprouts, seaweed and tuna with the special sauce was just perfect. Hamachi/yellow tail & all the white fish I just inhaled. I love eating these and here they just burst in flavor & melt into my mouth. Oyster is not sandy no aftertaste, just texture and flavor. For someone that doesn't like oyster after taste, they will enjoy this one. I would introduce my friends that are first trying oyster to this. Drink - The hot green tea is so warm, tasty, and comforting. I forgot how many cups I've drank! They are good at refilling it from an authentic teapot. When I first saw the mackerel, I thought this will be the one I don't like. Little did I know I was blown away by the combination of green onion and ginger on top of the nigiri with sauce? It was so good. We weren't expecting the flavor and texture! Definitely love it! Usually Uni is usually too salty or strong in profile but the one they served was so clean and smooth to eat. One has a slighter stronger flavor than the other. I would eat this again in a heartbeat! Sweet shrimp was buttery like and firm texture. My least favorite of it all. The next one shrimp with the blue crab was a surprise. You will be surprise by the delicate and tasty shrimp. And the blue crab each taste subtly different not just texture but also flavor. The Chilean sea bass was THE BEST! I would order this in bigger portions as my main entree if I could. W O W!! Toro & Otoro melted and one was smoother while the other was firmer. I wouldn't mind eating more of this! The wasabi was just the right amount too. I appreciate the chef attention to this detail! Marinated Salmon roe usually salty but this one soooo delicious!! Felt like I was in a waterpark around multiple bubbles and playing around for a while until the magic was over. Last one was the Blue crab roll which brought tears to my eyes. That is how good it was (to me). Not sure if it nostalgia only but 100% the deliciousness warm of the blue crab was a great way to end the night. The flavor just right. ---- end of omakase food section--- The swift courteous lady server is not one of many words or makes small talk but she is amazing at what does. She is very attentive with taking away empty dishes, cleaning table and handling refills. The chef works with precision and delicately handles all the pieces. Great spirit with the regulars! I think he is a magician at his craft. Seating? Indoor only. 8 counter seat 4 4-seater table 1 2-seater table May be difficult for wheelchair users due to limited space. Recommend to best to call in advance. Restroom? Yes; good size entrance and space inside for wheelchair users, door isn't heavy, has handle bars and disposable seat cover. Total cost approx $400-$450

I'm dumbfounded at myself. This is my favorite sushi spot of all time and I have not written a…read morereview!? They do not make rolls. Have a limited menu. But everything on the menu is perfect and so delicious, if you are a true lover of sushi you will appreciate this place. I go to all sorts of sushi, in so many different places, but Sushi Nishi-ya is always a treat. If you like omakase, definitely try it here.
