Update review : the greeter Gabriela was was very nice and the guy who I took the order Vic from…read morebrought me the dish and apologized and didn't charge me. And took responsibility So now I change my review to 5 stars. I came to Gladiators Brew around 2:50 PM to watch the Argentina CPV World Cup match. Around 3:10 PM, I ordered food. About five minutes later, a bartender came over and asked if I wanted something to drink. I told him I still hadn't received my food yet and asked if he knew what I had ordered. He said, "No, I just got here," so I pointed to the other employee who had taken my order. After waiting nearly 30 more minutes, I still hadn't received either my soda or my meal. I finally walked up to the bartender, and he said he was busy. About 10 minutes later, he brought my soda but never apologized for the delay or acknowledged the long wait. Another 15 minutes passed, and I had still not received my food. I flagged him down again, and he asked, "What did you order?" I reminded him that I had ordered from the other employee. I waited another 10 minutes with no food. At that point, it had been almost an hour since I ordered, so I finally got the attention of the employee who originally took my order. He simply said, "OK, OK." As I write this review, it's 4:02 PM, and I still have not received my food. I understand places get busy, but the lack of communication, follow-up, and even a simple apology made this a very frustrating experience. I came here to enjoy the game, but instead spent most of the first half wondering if my order had been forgotten.

Gladi8or is located in downtown Covina and a fun location to check out!! We were there early on a…read moreSaturday afternoon and easy enough to find street parking and seats outside. It's a huge open airy location. Walked in and looks and smells clean. They have tvs and pool tables so a great spot to hang out and watch the game. Lots of seating too! There's some outside seating and fun to people watch. Drinks are great! We didn't try any food this time but there's a lot of choices on the menu! Definitely will stop by again!

I will always review a proper dive bar with Campari on the shelf…read more Had two Negronis and I have no proof as the camerawoman was too slow in this case. This place was a total random date find for me, but glad I stopped in. Everything from the rowed Xmas lights on the ceiling, to the custom avant-garde wooden bar top speaks late 60s/early 70s cozy-chic to me. On top of this, the music and clientele rocks and, as a bonus, the interior is decked out in Rat Pack movie memorabilia -- apropos as the spot is, I imagine, named for the 1955 Sinatra film! Stop in and say hello to the killer bartenders.

The drinks are amazing and cheap, everyday happy hour 6-9pm, and the comedy shows every Sunday are TOP TIER. Melissa Villaseñor, Chris Estrada, Taylor Tomlinson have all headlined here. The open mic show on Thursday is also great if you want to see up and coming comics from the local area and folks all the way from west LA/IE/OC, or also see pros work on their material. Perfect date night if you want to grab a drink and get some laughs. Then stay after to play pool and put on your fav songs on the jukebox. I haven't even mentioned there are often live musical performances on Friday from indie/electronic/psychedelic musicians. Or the karaoke nights on Saturdays and Mondays (so much fun shout out to Dom and Nate and Albert for djing). Or that every bartender treats you like fam. Anyways, this place is home and always will be. If someone is rude to you here you probably deserved it!

I think it's like pineapple juice and two choices of rum. Tasted amazing. The two bartenders are nice, very conversational. I can see why they get regular bar attendees. This bar isn't bad.

The vibe and attitude from some of the staff can come across as unwelcoming, which takes away from an otherwise great experience. Customer service is a huge part of any business, and based on my most recent visit as well as a few previous one I left feeling disappointed. I genuinely enjoy this place and want to keep coming back, so I hope management takes a closer look at the customer experience and holds staff to a higher standard. The bar has a lot of potential, but the service needs to match the quality of the drinks.

So again I felt like her point was to humiliate instead of being respectful, also guys who saw what was happening didn't agree and were commenting on how they've never had someone take so long on getting their drinks since she was so busy talking to one guy, sucky service. Never again, hope you guys get new bartenders ruining the rep

We've driven by this bar for years but have recently stopped in twice within a couple of weeks…read more Both visits, Debbie was bartending, and she couldn't have taken better care of us. The place is huge, well-lit, has an e-jukebox, 3 pool tables, dart board(s), board games, and many TVs. It's a dive bar, but I say that in a good way. It wasn't too busy on either of our visits, but I understand that during football season, they host the San Francisco 49ers faithful, and the place can get packed on Sundays. There's a good selection of beers on-tap and in bottle, and of course you can get shots and simple cocktails, but they didn't have the ingredients to make an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. No food is served, but they do sell bags of Twisted Pig pretzels ($4), which are available in spicy, medium, and original flavors. They're some of the best bagged pretzels we've ever had. Overall, it's a fun neighborhood bar with friendly service, lots of space to gather, hang out, and things to keep you busy. We'll be back.

It's a chill bar the they have pool tables & darts . Music the bar tenders are great Debbie & Isacread more
