Reviews for 38 Degrees Ale House & Grill in Alhambra, CA
Came here for drinks with a friend while waiting for some more friends to arrive for burgers at Grill Em All. I had the... pineapple whiskey sour. She had the guava whiskey sour. Both were good, but the pineapple, in particular, really stoodout. Went back after Grill Em All, with our friends for round 2. The staff are quick and friendly, and the drinks went downwell. We split some fries with drinks, for round 2, and they were good and arrived fast, with our drinks. I'll definitely comeback for more of that cocktail when I visit the area for more m/ burgers.

When I read Jeff Cruz’s review deeming the food “elevated bar food”, I was a little skeptical as to the quality of what I... would be ordering. But I was really pleasantly surprised by the unique flavors and wonderful presentation, even though theatmosphere is decidedly more casual with the general vibe of a sports bar and all the TVs around the restaurant. I for oneenjoyed the fact that I could find great food, beer, and watch the game all at the same time. When I went on a Wednesday eveningit wasn’t too busy and the servers frequently checked to make sure we were happy and to ask if we needed anything. Overall,great food, awesome service, and good atmosphere, even if it can be loud sometimes. Read more
Good place for drinks and food. A good place for groups or a casual date. The food is a nice variety. Elevated bar food in my... opinion. There's plenty of seating inside with some TVs so it's a good spot to watch a game. For happy hour they have $2 offselect beers/drinks. There's a free parking structure down the street. Read more
Awesome place! Recommended to me by my old Band director at the local highschool. Vouched for the garlic fries (they use FRESH... garlic, get ready for that BITE!) If the photos actually uploaded in order, they are the buttermilk fried chicken, 3 meat bbqtray(brisket, pastrami, pulled pork) w/ side of coleslaw & mashed potatoes, poutine fries, 2 meat bbq tray (brisket & pastrami)w/ side of mashed potatoes & mac, beer flight (bartenders choice), buck cherry, and lastly the bbq pork sliders. Also orderedpork ribs but forgot to take a photo. Great friendly service! Chill atmosphere, great place for food and drinks. Meat traysare definitely worth it. The pulled pork was a smidge dry though. The other selections were significantly more juicy. Shouldsplit this someone unless you plan on taking some home. Coleslaw had some spice to it. Very complimentary. Mashed potatoesneeded an extra "umph". Something like garlic or ever fresh pepper can bring it up a level. I'm told the poutine fries weregood from my friend that ordered them. Didn't get a chance to try any as they demolished the plate! Must've been good! Mac wasgreat, definitely a solid choice! Can never go wrong with sliders! Their sauce definitely makes an improvement toeverything. Drinks were great. Loved the pork ribs but everyone else thought they were dry. Maybe they got bad ribs becausethe ones I tried were pretty juicy(I ate them late too). It's also possible that they might have just been expecting a sauceyrib rather than a dry rub rib. The buttermilk chicken was decent, that garlic sauce definitely brought it up a level! Y'allneed a Nashville style one too! Overall a great experience and awesome food. Definitely a step up from the last time I came.Will be back for sure! Read more
Massive selection of beers on tap with a passionate staff happy to help you make the right choice! Didn't get to try much food... but the truffle fries with truffle aoli was absolutely delicious and I'm sure the rest of the menu is just as good! Read more
This was a nice experience for my group of four. We went in and were immediately greeted by a friendly server who was eager to... seat us. The buffalo and honey chipotle wings were great! The sliders were a little lackluster, but that didn't take anythingaway from the experience. The beer selection was great and they know how tk make a cocktail if that's your jam. Also, garlicpaste was great! :) We'll be back. Read more
Bar trifecta: beer menu listed on Untappd, allows for small (5oz) pours, and excellent selection. Very pleased in particular... that they carried Pliny The Elder. Read more
Happy Hour all day!! Yaaaaaas!!!! Got the tacos (I think they were $2-$3 each. My friend paid) and the fish ones were sooo... good!!! I tried the smoked chicken and it was ok. Fish is the way to go!! Warning: there is spice on the tacos but it was kindadry without it (we ordered a second round without the hot sauce cause we weak). Their fries are delicioussss!! Especially thesweet potato and ESPECIALLY the garlic aioli sauce!!! ???????????? The ribs were pretty good but a LITTLE dry. I ordered thestrawberry cocktail and it was not sweet enough (but not bad). The service was pretty good and they were friendly. Only a fewtimes we had to flag ‘em down. But it was busy, so understandable. Def would come back for the happy hour tacos and fries???????? Read more
