Tag: Empire Tavern

Second day in a row that I went into Burbank for beer. This time to San Fernando Avenue and the soft opening of the Empire Tavern.

Here is the 1st Visit report…

Now this is a “just right” neighborhood place to have a beer. Twelve tap options to select from. Plenty of bar seating and plenty of table seating as well for a space that looks like it might be teeny-tiny on the inside. Best of all is the nice picture window out from that suffuses the room with light. Granted the view out onto this stretch of North San Fernando isn’t a Hawaiian sunset but a seat at that window with a view of the hills that backdrop the valley is not bad.

I can totally see wearied Christmas shoppers from either the nearby Empire Center or Burbank mall making a post Black Friday stop here to recuperate and if I was one of the neighbors from across the street, you know this would become a regular haunt.

If I have said it once, I have said it too many times. Every little part of the great Los Angeles area can do with a place with great beer choices that they can call “their neighborhood” bar. Empire Tavern will be that place.
