Well, it was a very friendly bar...for about two days (???). Had a good selection of beer, much better than when it was the Brass Rail in the 1980's. I spent years here back then and loved it as a very cool watering hole-dive. Now it's run by a trendy, hipster jack*** that likes to act like a stuck-up little priss, and he took a dislike to me on the spot for absolutely no reason, other than spending my money at his business...what the? LOL

Owner was drunk out of his mind being disrespectful being racist. Sad to see someone that owns a bar can’t handle there own alcohol. Reply to the owner: definitely was this bar asked you nicely to apologize but you continued to cuss me out… typical with people that get black out drunk.

Found this bar on Google based on the good reviews and was very shocked to hear they have craft cocktails and the prices only $8 (bargain). Awesome atmosphere and definitely adding to my list of stops when I'm in town again.

Great place for that dive bar feel & a good drink while you're in Glendale!

Think twice b4 going after 11 pm... Our group was +10 and wanted to keep hanging out after we had dinner locally. We showed as the live band had ended. And it got very thin, very fast. It didn't matter, our group had good energy...but then... Strike 1: the 1st drink I requested, the bartender said "we don't make that". 2nd drink was vodka cranberry and the bartender said they were out of cranberry. Really? ⁷3rd drink a Long Island ..and the guy needed to consult his phone for the recipe and the other mixed drinks I requested. Needless to say it took a long time to get basic cocktails. Meanwhile some random was practicing basic magic tricks to the person behind me. Ok, i thought to myself, it's that kind of party. A few in our group felt the music was too loud to have a conversation... and then someone noticed there was a jukebox. The girls wanted to dance and pulled some $1's. As they were about to go over the options, the smaller obscure bartender asked, "what do want to hear" and when the group responded he said,"no, that will kill the vibe"., and remotely disabled the jukebox. R u kidding me? The place had 2 regulars, and a couple guys trying to play pool...none of whome where big advocates for the music. We left immediately and took our business elsewhere. I guess the bartenders preferred having an empty bar than happy customers...

best cocktail bar in los angeles. Great prices and great drinks. great people.

I Love this place. This bar is everything I want in a bar. Low-key, great vibes, good, strong drinks, and friendly people. That's all I need! Great bartenders too! Lauren deserves a raise. I mean that.

This place is great! Reminds me of my neighborhood bar in Chicago! Owner is super cool.🤙🏻

Great place. The $5 happy hour gave us the motivation to walk into what felt like a locals only hang out..and we weren’t disappointed. Great $5 spicy mango margarita and open welcoming vibe. Walk thru that cave-like door and into a great bar and time!

A nice local place to get a drink. Nice beer and cocktail collections for its size. If you're in the neighborhood & want a drink, it's quite worth your time.

I've been here twice. First alone, met the owner a very nice guy who should be supported as a small business owner and to keep a classic old style bar in business. The second time I brought friends. The two bartenders were very friendly, entertaining and patient. Had a fun time.

Great bar with nice cocktails, super friendly staff, and had an awesome Vibe to it. Can’t believe I lived minutes away and just started coming here but it’s definitely my new spot.

Lauren is the best bartender consistent fast at making drinks and the best customer service

Great place to relax and enjoy a nicely made drink with friends. Very intimate setting. Not a dive bar, maybe more like an impressionistic modern dive bar- in a good way! Great selection of beers, sours, and fancy drinks. COME ON DOWN!

Honestly, this is one of the best bars I’ve ever attended. When I first moved into the area, I was looking for a new place to unwind, which in LA with its myriad bars can be hard to find. When I first walked in, I was greeted with the friendliest service and a ‘we don’t know strangers here’ attitude, and the ambience was laid back and chill. Adam, the owner, is one of the best guys I know and also slings some of the best cocktails you can get. Now that ambience has been established, let’s talk about the drinks. Every single bartender here makes a great craft cocktail, and they are constantly innovating and coming up with new drinks. In terms of beer, they stock tons of local beers paired with others that you must try. There aren’t any generic beers here, and they are all hand selected by people who know what they’re tasting for our enjoyment. 100/10 recommend Gold Rail for unwinding, having birthdays, or just having a casual game of pool on Pool Mondays where you can play for free. See ya here & cheers 🍻

Nice beer and cocktail collections for its size. love.

An excellent bar with a neighborhood feel. They always have a great selection of beers on tap, every cocktail I've gotten there has been made well, and the prices are very reasonable. All that and a pool table, to boot. This is a great place.

Great cocktails, premium beer selection, and the service you get from the staff keeps me coming back over and over. They also have different food vendors show up at nights with a delicious variety of food options. You will feel like family coming to this local establishment!

This place is a hidden gem, serving some top shelf bourbons, excellent mezcals, and quality tap beers. A very relaxed and comfortable environment, the oasis that is the Gold Rail is a great spot to play some pool, sing karaoke, fire up the jukebox or just sip a classic cocktail at the bar. You just wouldn't expect such a cool little spot on the west side of Glendale. Well-priced and very friendly staff to boot. Might become a regular...
