Friendly Stop Bar & Grill

A Glendale institution in a building that's been standing since the 1840s. Converted to a barbershop and tavern in 1907, operated as a speakeasy during Prohibition, burned and restored in 1992, and currently owned by Joe and Elise Mills since 2016 — Joe spent 37 years across the street at the Grand Finale including nine as co-owner. Sandy Koufax signed his first professional contract here. Reds Hall of Famer Ival Goodman once tended the bar. The walls are covered in license plates from every state and province. The jumbo wings have been on the menu since the '80s alongside an award-winning roasted garlic burger and homestyle comfort food that keeps a fiercely loyal crowd coming back. Outdoor patio.
