Before the Date…
If there’s one they got right in the 1950’s it was the act of strapping wheels to your feet, throwing on some music, and dangerously zipping around a wooden dance floor. Fast forward 60 years later to throw in exquisite craft cocktails, a top notch brewery, and a silent costume contest and you’ve got a 21st century night for the ages.
So pick up your fast flying friends and get ready for a rink around Glendale you wont forget.
St0p #1: 6pm
COCKTAILS
to fuel up the fire
What to Know
The small stage in the back adorns nightly live bands including psychedelic rock Mondays and live music burlesque shows.
Happy hour is from 4-7pm daily with $6 cocktails, beer & wine, and food selections. House Old Fashioned are the go to.
If you’re driving parking is not an issue. There are plenty of spots. Leave your car here and walk the rest of the way. You will end the date a few blocks south on stop 3.
St0p #2: 7:15pm
BREWERY BITES
at an LA institution
What to Know
Unfortunately there are no reservations but you shouldn’t have too long of a wait unless its Friday/Saturday prime time. There is a “waitlist” on their website but it doesn’t work anymore.
Food standouts, avocado tacos, sweet potato tagine, and the English pub burger.
There’s always 20 taps in order here with their seasonals taking the cake. There is gluten free beer in cans and also wine.
St0p #3: 9:30pm
PARTY ON
at a roller disco stuck in time
What to Know
The schedule is different most nights and will have benefits to each of them:
Tuesday Night: Mr. Dominic plays the organ (only 10 rinks in the country that do this), Wednesday Night: LGBTQI Disco Night (highly suggest coming, no lines, dressed up folks, a party)
Thursday Night: Throwback Thurs. (think 80s tunes and a little more people)
Friday & Saturday Night: open skate (they can ride up to 700 people a night, it will be crowded)
Pay attention to their schedule for sporadic Midnight Disco. This starts at midnight and goes til 3am. It’s a party.
Bring $1 in quarters. This will be helpful for the lockers.
Also, remember to wear socks.
There is no alcohol at the rink, only an old school snack bar. Think corn dogs and popcorn.
Please please please skate safely.
