Glenlo Tavern

Yikes! Scene of a gaybashing and they kicked the boys that got beat up out of the bar! I knew it wasn’t the fanciest place but after visiting occasionally in the summer, I’m gonna skip it altogether. I had a party here once and regret it. I guess if the regulars are hateful people but spend money in a place, the management will support them beating up others. Will not be going back. Ever.

If you like to go places where fights break out often, then this is the place for you. Otherwise, do not step into this trashy place.

Pleasantly surprised by this place. Came here during the busy fresh pond feast. I always thought of this as a hole in the wall bar from walking by it a million times. We decided to stop in tonight to grab a couple beers and ended up staying the whole night and missing the feast lol. The inside of the bar very spacious and clean. They have a very nice outdoor garden with ample seating space. Very modern and European feel to it. We really enjoyed our time here. I only drank beer from tap so I can’t comment on how drinks are. But I can say drinks are easy on the pocket which is a major plus. I’ll deff b returning before it’s too cold to enjoy the garden.

I enjoy coming here for both food and drink. The staff is hospitable and friendly. It gets too loud for my taste late at night but that’s what bars are for. Good, honest place to enjoy a drink, some cheap pub food and friends.

The back garden is what really makes this place. There are real, lush, green plants! It’s an oasis.
The food is surprisingly good, they have a veggie panini for vegetarians. I liked the fries.

I like Glenlo, although based on the three times I visited (all during the day) I may be among the minority as the clients seemed sparse.
Their food menu is quite limited to the barest of pub fare, but I come here for the big mugs of beer and the outdoor seating in the back. I have a pug, and they allow my girlfriend and I to enjoy their open air backyard with the dog off the leash in the back.

This is the last place I would go in 11 385. This used to be a nice warm Irish bar but now it’s a cold Eastern European bar with nothing to recommend it. There’s nothing special about the beer, the prices are not so good and the service is cold unless you speak the language. Don’t even think about food here. Avoid this place ! There are a lot of better places in the area.

Came here on a wed evening before hockey. Place was dead. Tender was a nice young lady.
Good prices.
Will repeat if in Area.

Not bad if your a local looking for a place to chill and have a few drinks. I’ve gone a couple of times and the people are overall friendly. Food is ok. They have a backyard so that’s a plus! Smoke away! Lol.

We used to come here all the time. After all these years, I still wonder why we ever stepped foot in this place. The kareoke? The beer? The hot Eastern European women? Most likely the latter, but you talk about overpaying for the diviest of dive bars…
The food? Might as well just put the microwave out there for all to see.
The people? If you like the dirty looks, the fact that you need to have your guard up the entire time you’re there just in case a fight breaks out… by all means, this is the place for you.
Maybe it’s gotten better over the past few years. I’ll never know: I’m never going there again.

I was looking for a local bar and I found it!
Super friendly bartenders with super friendly regulars.
Made friends instantly!
Great prices on both food and drinks.
Food wasn’t bad, but nothing to «wow» about.
Stays open on weeknights even when it’s quiet.
Draws a good crowd on weekends, but never overcrowded.

Very neighborhoody bar if you like the neighborhood peeps.
I went here one night on a date. It wasn’t our intended destination. We wanted to stay near to my house that night and have some drinks. The intended place was closed for renovations and at the last minute, we had to come up with something else.
I come home late at night often and have always seen lots of people outside this place. it’s pretty on the outside, your typical Irish pub. So I thought, OK, we’ll try it.
We went in had a beer and he had some apps. (I wasn’t hungry).
The service was great, the menu was pretty large, though I didn’t look at it much because I had already eaten dinner. The place seemed clean enough and it’s pretty big. Good for a group.
After our first beer we simply had to leave because the patrons were watching a game on TV and were so loud, we just couldn’t hear each other. We ended up at Spolem and I really like that place. Much more my thing.

this is place is cool, has 90s dance music playing and the prices are good.

Cozy local bar. Great service.

OK, so, on a subsequent visit, I find myself warming up to the place. This is a local establishment for local customers, and that means it’s got its good quicks and its bad quirks. While I chronicled the bad that I experienced on my first visit, I can say that on my last visit, the good of it being a neighborhood joint made it a bigger pleasure.
I dropped by there with a buddy from out of town staying with us for a night as he passed through. It was mid-​week in the summer, so the bar was quiet, with a little baseball on the tube and only a few die-​hards at the bar, but there was a darts competition that had a handful of guys turn out.
My friend and I grabbed some nicely priced, ice cold Eastern European brews and chilled/​caught up. Because of the darts competition, the owners ordered pizza, and I got a free dinner.
So, yeah, there’s the good side of Glenlo’s local nature. Obviously, you’re not guaranteed to get the same when you’re there, but, it’s this vibe that works.

Ever since I’ve discovered Ridgewood, I’ve been going to this place. At first it was the main bar. Then wanderlust took over, and I’ve since moved on.
Honestly speaking, I would only go here for the beer. The tap isn’t even that extraordinary. It has Samuel Adams, Guinness, Pilsner Urquell, and some local faves. A sports bar with the average age of the patrons being between early twenties to mid-​thirties.
The kitchen closes early. When the three of us went there last night, our mozzarella stick portions were tiny. What a joke. Seriously, I could get more out of a box from the supermarket frozen food section. Maybe we were better off going to 7-​Eleven. A six pack of Magic Hat would’ve been 12, and a box of mozzarella sticks for around three bucks. WTF.
Now when I think of it, the food here wasn’t always the greatest. Maybe beer does make everything tastes good, dunno. Last night’s appetizer was a disappointment.
The service was never bad, don’t get me wrong. Although I’ve had warmer reception in other local bars. It’s definitely more fun in places like Cozy Corner and Gottschier. Now if only Cozy Corner could fill up their tap more, then I would be a regular customer. Truth be told, we went here last night because it was cold. Glenlo was walking distance to where my friend had parked his car. If the weather had been warmer, we could’ve hiked somewhere else. Probably to either Cozy Corner, or better yet Gottschier.
Still, it’s nicer during spring and summer, when they open the backyard. So it’s not a total bust.

Average bar/​grill setup that usually doesn’t get too full. There’s a decent patio in the back and a few TVs with sports or news depending on what time it is.
A good deal if you stay for more than 4 drinks just watch out for the «wasted and yelling by 9pm» locals.
Also, eat before you go or just order from King Wah, across the street as they don’t currently serve food as they are renovating their kitchen

I used to go there, simply love that place :)

A comfy bar with pretty good food (buffalo wings are messy but delicious) and usually a friendly crowd. The space is quite large for a pub and has booths as well has tables with stools. They have a patio in the back and a jukebox inside. There is usually a DJ on the weekend. I’ve been coming for years and always have a good time.

I was a little disappointed to find out there were no happy hour specials when I came in today (Sunday). The drinks were a little weak and I was even more disappointed when the bartender forgot to give me my change for the greasy fries. That’s ok, I’ll consider that her tip. I Won’t be coming back.
