A new independent craft beer bar is coming to North San Fernando Road in a weird spot near McCambridge Park.
The Empire Tavern
is run by Dave Ochoa, known in beer circles as a member of the Yeastside Brewers, that is good street cred.
The new spot is taking over from a tavern and should have the typical multiple rotating taps, hopefully highlighting the beer from Burbank and parts north in the San Fernando Valley.
The expected opening date is October/November but with all things beer that could change. Look for an interview in an upcoming Food GPS post.
