Bars in Glendale

HARU sushi fills a real gap in northwest Glendale's Japanese dining options, offering accessible sushi in a casual, walk-in-friendly format near the 67th Ave and Loop 101 corridor. It's the right call when you want neighborhood sushi without a drive to Scottsdale. Booking is easy, and the format works well for families and casual groups.

Haus Murphy's is Glendale's most accessible option for a casual date night with genuine atmosphere — a German-style bar and restaurant on Glendale Avenue that works best on a quiet weeknight when the room is lively but not loud. Booking is easy, walk-ins are viable, and it beats the chain alternatives on character. Not a special-occasion splurge, but a reliable local pick.
