Glenside Pub

I can't remember why we came here, but it was among the most pleasant of surprises. The food is good, nothing fancy but good. The drinks are not watered down. It has a fun neighborhood feel. The staff is great. Loved it.

We came in here to enjoy a few drinks in the evening and the waitress couldn't have been sweeter.  She made our evening right, and service was totally prompt and awesome!  The drinks were made like the person making them knew what they were supposed to taste like - delicious!  When was the last time I had a drink and felt like the bartender put a little extra special ingredient - awesome energy! - into my plain martini - never!  Exactly.  So this is my new spot and I'm sticking with it.  You should too.  Excellent drinks and service!

This place is at best ok.  Food is mediocre.  Menu doesnt change, beer list stinks.  Actually, there isnt a beer list.  Just whatever beers an Irish bar is supposed to have.  This place is simply coasting on a reputation.  A reputation for what, I dont know.  The service is good enough.  Maybe that is how it survives.  It would be nice if it closed down and the menu got a re-vamp.  Its just so damned parochial.  Its sort of a Glenside landmark.  Whatever.  Does that actually do anything for you?  Pretty much every person that goes there is like 90 years old.  They will die.  Then who goes there?  They are going to need to change.  Business isnt going to remain steady.  Why would a young person want to go to the Glenside Pub?  Its an old person bar.  Its a bar for people whose most eclectic taste is a grilled cheese and guiness.  There isnt anything wrong with grilled cheese and Guiness, but the place has no edge.  I hope someday they change.
