| - Scene: Located in the Westgate district of Glendale, Tavern+Bowl is just a short walk from either the hockey arena or the football stadium. Tavern has a central hostess stand to the front of the primary entrance and behind it bowling lanes. To the left of the stand is seating for folks to eat and drink. It looks very corporate and trendy but caters to all sorts of crowds.
When I was there, they had a live DJ playing some music. There wasn't much of a dance floor, but a group of girls made do dancing between some tables.
Service: The service was okay. I walked in to an already seated table, and it took several minutes for our server to come take my order. She was friendly, but nothing about the service was fast. I ordered a Guinness (Which she wasn't sure if they had it (They did), and a hamburger. The burger took about fifteen minutes to receive, the Guinness, five.
The real lack of communication is that we had to wait to ask for our tabs, and when we did it took about ten minutes to get them, and an additional five to get our cards back with the check.
Food: The food was okay. My burger had a significant amount of char to it. Not enough to make it bad, but enough to make it taste like it had been cooked over a live flame for just a hint too long. The fries were fries, tasty but still the standard fried potato fare.
So Would I recommend The Tavern+Bowl? Yes, for groups of folks meeting to go somewhere else. If your not in a hurry this place is not bad. If service is important to you, it might be worth going to one of the more upscale places within the complex.
