Old Towne Glendale Wine and Beer Bar

I live in Glendale and I find it really difficult to find a good place nearby for craft beer that I can take a Lyft/​Über to and not shell out a ton of money for. OTG wine and beer is the perfect destination for anyone in my position.
There is a large section of craft beer bottled that you can purchase to take home or drink at the bar. On top of that their draft selection is impressive. What really impressed me was how affordable their prices were for such quality beer.
On top of the amazing selection and great prices, the staff is top notch. One employee was throwing out several recommendations while the bartender (and owner I believe) also presented a ton of recommendations to make my experience more enjoyable.
While it can be quite packed on a weekend night and the inside part of the bar is small, there is a really nice patio you can also drink out on that is still plenty enjoyable.
The only thing I would add to this place is the ability to purchase growlers. But thats just me being picky. I can easily see this place becoming one of my go to destinations in Glendale.

These reviews say it all, great craft beer selection, food is delicious (try the black fig bruschetta) friendly staff, quint and comfertable ambiance. just a great local spot to have a beer or glass of wine.

Awesome to see an independent restaurant that caters to foodies. So much better to invest in small local business owners than large chains, especially when the food is amazing and well priced. Just as good as tostinos. Will be back, lovely ambiance and friendly staff.

Super modern happening place in Downtown Glendale! Definitely give this place a try, bring a group from work. Gives Scottsdale bars a run for their $. Great hang out or romantic date night in the fall and winter!

This place is wickedly awesome! Friendly staff, interesting selection of wines and beers and the bruschetta is amazing! It is as good (if not better than) Postino’s without a two hour wait.

Been to this place many times and it’s fantastic. The food is great — especially the turkey panini. There is also a nice rotation of local brews on tap. Plus, the staff is friendly and helpful.

Wow!!! Excellent beer and wine selection. Great atmosphere. Delicious food and superb service.

A true hidden gem! To date, thee most beautifully reconstructed olé time bars I have ever been in. I love the atmosphere, totally unpretentious. Great craft beer selection. The food and service is always on point.

My girlfriend and I were walking around Old Town Glendale and spotted this gem… We decided to look over the menu and knew we had found the right place for dinner… We ordered a bottle of wine, olive appetizer and a Bruschetta platter. What an amazing value! Pick 4 different kinds of bruschetta for $ 14. We were blown away! All of them were amazing! We had smoked salmon with burrata, capers and red onion… Goat cheese with mint jelly and lime zest… Triple cream Brie with fig spread, apple slices and honey drizzle… And prosciutto, figs and cream fraise… I posted a picture of our plank as well. They were all absolutely amazing! All of that for only $ 45. We were very impressed with the value and we will be back soon.

Since reopening last fall, OTG has made so many adjustments that anyone who discovered it in 2013 needs to become reacquainted. Pronto. As for all you newcomers, remember that the end of Glendale Glitters doesn’t mean the end of fun in the Historic District. Authenticity is scarce around here. Enjoy the oasis of culture while you have a drink, eh?
I’ve gotta say I’ve only enjoyed a glass of wine here just once in the last few visits. It’s just not at the forefront of the product any more. Now, the beer is more prevalent with the tap selections doubled to twelve (all rare finds!) and the bottle selection is one of the best in town. Seriously, for about $ 3-​$ 6 a pop, you can find some really good stuff without the drive over to Total Wine. Emphasis on quirky flavors not usually seen at other trendy bars. Kudos for standing out.
Other expansion to things OTG does well is the food menu, upgraded and imported from the Inn next door. Nosh on bruschetta, chow down on a small cheese plate, or go all out on a panini. You can’t go wrong, it’s respectable food at very competitive prices.
As if I didn’t already have you hooked, they cell cigars, and if you wanna be a manly man, you can have a puff out on the beautiful patio. I cannot tell you how aesthetically pleasing it is to chill out between all the plants and the trickling fountain on a fair winter night. Bring friends… relax. This is a slice of the good life at a modest price, all with some of the best service around. It’s a real contender for my favorite (and most frequented) bar in the valley.

Beautiful bar. Great food. AWESOME craft beer/​wine selection. Friendly and helpful service. Fun local hangout that is very welcoming to first-timers…definitely going back!

What an amazing find. Delicious local talent that deserves recognition. Perfect spot for girls night out or a special evening with your special someone. Amazing, hard to find Washington wine. Most places only have CA wine, not here, many choices. The food is worth writing home about. Value, flavor, and originality make this a grand place to go.

Went there last night with my girlfriend and had a great Bruschetta spread. They still had my favorite fall beer as well (always worth a star or 2). The staff was friendly; it’s not too crowded or loud to hear your friends. Great food and great atmosphere.

I love going to this wine bar when in old town Glendale, and not too many people have figured out it’s there yet so it’s not usually too busy. That’s a good thing because it does not fit many people. The wine list doesn’t change too often and the wine is pretty pricy without many specials ever going on, but it’s one of the only places on this side of the valley to get a decent glass of wine. They also have a huge beer selection. The staff is very nice and always willing to let you taste. I have never tried their appetizers but it looks like they have yummy options. It’s right next to Haus Murphy so I always drop by before or after dinner.

This is a new wine and beer bar. They are just starting out and are developing their identity and style. We met Jody and Dixie, and they took great care of us. The cheese plate is just enough for two to share with a couple glasses of wine. They are connected to the Gaslight Inn B&B so they have the capacity to spread out if they need the room.
Watch this place… It will soon be the place to go. My wife and I plan to visit on a regular basis.

This place is great. The staff is very friendly and even gave me a little tour of the building. Great prices and an amazing selection. I live 30 minutes away and will be making this a regular hang out. If you show up while i am there, chances are, i will buy you a round.

There are not many taps at OTG. But they get rotated frequently. The bartender is always friendly and just the right amount of helpful while letting the wife and I chat after working too often.
The selection of bottles is top notch for such a small pub. The run specials often and have plenty of events and even do fun things when downtown Glendale is running an event. They recently started serving app style food but I haven’t tried anything yet.
If you want a nice casual hangout for a couple of friends after work, this is the place to go.

On my recent stay in Glendale I found this lovely wine bar. It’s a cozy little place that doesn’t seat many people. The whole place is so unlike the rest of downtown Glendale that you feel like you’re somewhere else while you’re inside drinking.
Nice selection of wine. I settled on glass of chianti but they had plenty of other reds to choose from.

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.

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. 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.
