La Perla Sports Cantina

Walked in to La Perla this past Saturday while in town for an event around the corner. It was D.E.A.D. inside - just another couple sitting at the bar.

La Perla has an awesome space and seems like a great place to catch a game or listen to music. I can't remember our bartender's name but she was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful.

Drinks were great. Sadly, the food we ordered was not to our liking. We tried the trio platter and for our three items, we chose bean dip/chips, onion rings and jalapeno poppers. The onion rings were extremely greasy, the jalapeno poppers were average and bean dip tasted more like can of Rosarita beans were served up as a dip. We really did not enjoy the food at all. I'm sure we could have made better choices though. Bar food can be decent but this was not.

So great location, nice staff and mediocre food.

I'm torn as I like the vibe and staff but sadly the last two visits have been disappointing and the band leader literally told my father that we shouldn't come when he tried to tell them that the levels are off and it's hurting people's ears as we saw multiple people with ear plugs and covering their ears in pain on Wednesday night after spending $100 for two beers, four drinks, and chips and salsa.

Also our previous visit the food was barely edible. It's sad because the band and bar / service staff is doing a good job but they lost a customer being rude to my 75 year old father instead of just telling him they are sorry it was too loud for many of us or trying to adjust the levels.

It was busy, but it was a game day so to be expected from what I assumed was more of a "sports bar" anyway. Waitress wasn't too knowledgeable on the specials or what came with individual regular entree orders, but was quick to correct. I left happy. Great burger & beer. If you dig the sports-bar vibe, I'd recommend! Near neat downtown murals in Phoenix. (Pictured below)

Nice place with a lot of history in downtown Glendale. They offer some great food items and the margaritas were awesome. If you get a chance the next time you're in downtown Glendale stop in. Enjoy the outside seating like we did for people watching.

The staff is incredibly friendly. The service and the food was good!!!! Get yourself a dirty dog!!!

I highly recommend this place! The vibe is chill and the habanero mango wings are fire! They have several tvs for games and music. Ashley the manager/ bartender is amazing and friendly. Plus who doesn't love guest wifi?

Awesome place. Reminds me a lot of nifty 50s from back in the good ol days. Great music and good food!

Do not come here, they try and get you for everything you are worth. Please save your money don't come here. Shut it down.... More reviews to come....
Review your recipes they will charge your random shit worst place ever

I'm new to the area been here a couple times customer service is bad .. unfriendly .. have to search for servers to order drinks & food. Music was good .. need to start searching for a new spot..

Love the Wednesday night jam sessions at 8:30pm!!! Their house band, the Fred Boswell Jr. Experience hosts it & has other musicians & bands get a chance to play with them or perform their own songs. It's amazingly free! Still can't get over that. I was blown away by all the talent!!! I heard Funk, Pop, Rock, Blues, Hard Rock, & Jazz! The bartender (I've only seen one main one behind the bar), he's friendly & savvy; knows what to recommend & makes drinks very well. I had a few drinks; the Gummy Bear & the Capri-Sun shot. Both excellent. BTW I noticed other servers taking out drinks to tables etc. when it got busier, so that's cool. They serve food too but i have yet to try some. The interior is decent & there's a nice sized patio, free parking, safe location.
