"Let's get our drink on in Old Towne Glendale!"
-No one, ever
That is, until this little gem came around. Taking a stroll between novelty stores and a pretty cool library, keep your eyes peeled for a little entrance reading "OTG". You've now stumbled in the best bar you're gonna find for several miles in any direction.
Expect tasty taps and an expansive wine selection. They've even got some 'draft' wine from from little barrels. You know you don't get that often! I took a seat and had a Kona Koko Brown, but if you want something local, they've got ya covered, even if it's in one of the dozens of bottled selections to choose from.
My only complaints are that tables were too close together, making it cramped. And that the lights are waaaaaay too bright. Like, seriously, it's 9:30pm, and it's so bright I feel like I'm in some office. Tone it down.
Because it closes early, and is pretty quiet, I'm gonna go ahead and designate this as a great day drinking destination. Just make sure you have a DD...there is a giant police station just a stone's throw away!
Great place to hang out! We stopped in here during the Glendale Chocolate Festival for a drink and to get away from the crowds. The bartender was super friendly without being overbearing, and he happily brought me a generous sample to try. They had a sweet moscato that I liked and enough unique brews to satisfy my beer-loving hubby. We didn't actually order any food so I can't way if that was good or not, but I love the atmosphere of this place and we'll definitely be back.
Review Source:I'm impressed by the attractive old world aesthetic of the building. The actual bar, from what I hear, is a couple hundred years old or so and brought in from London, and the tin ceiling, though painted (which makes me sad, because authentically distressed tin ceilings are the 'rage'- don't they know?) is original to the building and adds a lot of character.
It's a small cozy spot that lacks trendy pretension. Â I think it has more of a friendly neighborhood feel. The clientele kind of reminds me of clientele at a sports bar, but not as rowdy and the bartender is very boisterous and friendly. It's an interesting combo and a nice atmosphere with a decent libation menu.
I'm giving OTG Wine and Beer 3 stars, because I think it's a welcome and needed addition to the neighborhood and hopefully a sign of good things to come. I would advise against eating here, as the food is made at the Bed and Breakfast that's attached next door (owned by the same people) and it is very poor quality. It's mainly just frozen foods brought in. They do not offer anything that's really house made, fresh or healthy. To me that's pretty terrible. I eat a "clean" diet, and I can't trust that there is anything on the menu I can consume. Who knows, maybe some cool restaurants will pop up in the area in response to a nice looking wine bar.
Brand new Beer and more importantly, Wine Bar in the heart of Downtown Glendale. Â Makes me so happy! Â I had the opportunity of going in over the Glitters weekend, and having a glass of great wine, for a decent price too! (6.5) Â They are nestled between the AZ Skin Clinic and the Gaslight Inn B&B (which also just opened up). Â There selection of wine is about 12-15 or so options, with about 10 beers on tap, and around 40 total. Â I may be off just a bit, but trust me, it's totally worth stopping by for a try!
