Inkwell Tavern

First time here. Why not -- Valentine's Day and we wanted to finally try this spot out and yes we came for happy hour (4-7pm M-F) because we wanted to scout this place for future drinking missions. Cool spot. Pretty open with booths, and 2 tops, along with plenty of bar seats. The bartenders look super legit and the drinks are very good. I ordered a simple Olde Fashion and she had the Espresso Martini. Both very good. The ambience...is chill, with a nice vibe for coming here for a drink or staying to have a bite with that drink. They feature things throughout the week and also have a full kitchen for yummy appetizers and full on entrees!Check out the latest photos for menus, drink menus, and activities. A fun one looks to be Tuesday which is includes tequila, tacos, and trivia -- how could anything go more right? Right? Anyways we'll be back to maybe have a super 1/4lb smash burger with fries and yes another drink. Seems like a cool place to hang -- oh and they have three large tvs above the bar so watching sports here is prob in my future, when we're there they had 3 different movies which made it hard to not watch. Cool spot. We'll be back!

Quite honestly the best spot in Burbank to grab a refreshing drink and grab some delicious grub. Every time I pay a visit I get the wings, fries and cider. Sometimes i switch it up and get a smash burger. The cool part about this bar is that you really can start a conversation with anyone that sits nexts to you. The service is great, the music is spot on, the drinks hit and the food is amazing. I've spent time here for birthdays, to watch a game, trivia night and karaoke! Always look forward to paying a visit to the tavern.

First time here this weekend. Love the ambiance and the cocktails were amazing.Bartenders were so kind.

If you've ever wanted to feel like you're grabbing a bite in an old-school New York newsroom--minus the typewriters and cigarette smoke--this is your spot. The place has a cool, laid-back vibe that somehow manages to be trendy without even trying. The crowd is a lively mix of locals who clearly know they've got a good thing going, making the atmosphere feel welcoming and just the right kind of busy.The drink menu is like a playground for adults--whether you're craving a fancy cocktail, a glass of wine, or something new on tap, they've got it covered. This is the kind of spot that's perfect if you're working near the Burbank and Glendale border and need a great escape without wandering too far.Service is friendly and relaxed, adding to the warm vibe without hovering. It's one of those places where you can kick back, enjoy a good drink, and feel right at home--even if it's your first visit. Definitely a new favorite for a casual night out!

Great food ideas baked Brie and chicken wings (dry rub) were on point. A slight miss on pretzel - undersized and not truly a pretzel but more like bread stickVesper martini was excellent - Mai Tai - tasty but understated - I personally like Mai Tais to be over the topService was friendly and attentiveI will be back to try additional drinks and some Mains

Stumbled upon this bar looking for happy hour. I really enjoyed the food and drinks here. The best dirty martini I've had in a while!The food was excellent. The beef tallow waffle fries was a show stopper! The chicken wings were HUGE! I wish they gave a little more than 8pcs but it was still filling. The servers/bartenders were amazing. Loved the vibe here. Everyone looked like they were having a good time in here

First time here. Didn't know what to expect. Walking in, you enter a modern, comfortable restaurant and bar. Once seated you are greeted and given menus. You order at the bar. We started with a couple of beers and then got a Brussels Sprouts Salad and a double smash burger. The salad was excellent and the burger was "oh my gawd" delicious! Probably the best burger I've had in years!The staff was really cool, accommodating and helpful.This is definitely a great spot for drinks, food and hanging out!

It was a warm, sunny day in March. Perfect weather to get together with my darling gals for Happy Hour and spillin' the tea.Inkwell Tavern is quite charming. Reminiscent of a European pub with its open-air setting and cozy atmosphere. The plethora of books lining the shelves & vintage typewrite emit a literary vibe. Manager Chip was an absolute doll - greeting us with a friendly welcome and making us feel at home. George is skilled at his craft and will whip you up a cocktail or mocktail that will undoubtedly cure what ails you. Happy Hour features $2 off drinks & appetizers and $8 wells. Specialty craft cocktails pay homage to authors or literary works. Craft beer & classic pub fare in addition to creative chef creations are also available. I'm a cocktail snob and will judge a place based on the glassware used and the ability to properly make a classic, so I ordered the Hemingway Daiquiri. It was appropriately presented in a coupe glass and was perfectly balanced - not too tart & not too sweet. George knocked it out of the park.You order at the bar and your drink/food are brought to your table. We shared the Inkwell Fries, which were cooked to perfection. Hot, thick, crispy edges, & a pillowy soft interior. They were lightly sprinkled with sea salt & fine herbs. The side of ranch was the perfect accompaniment. The fries were served in a copper cylinder, which added some finesse to the overall presentation.Much like a true Tavern, Inkwell is a place where folks gather to have a good time and leave their troubles behind. It's a friendly neighborhood hang, a great place to watch sports, work on a screenplay, or enjoy happy hour with friends. (4 - 7 pm Mon - Fri)*Parking available on residential side streets. May have to walk a few blocks.*Brunch Sundays 10 am / Monday Karaoke 8 pm / Tacos, Tequila, & Trivia Tuesday 8 pm / Whisky specials on Wednesday.

Came in for a little happy hour birthday get together with some gal pals and had such a lovely time! Great mocktails and drinks, excellent service, and I loved the vintage-writer vibes - think Poe meets Hemingway meets old Hollywood - super fun! Their happy hour is weekday evenings and is $2 off drinks and appetizers - with a decent selection to choose from. I'm not a big drinker so it's always a challenge to find a place with an interesting mocktail selection but Inkwell has some awesome choices!! I went with the Whodunnit Mocktail which has lime, ginger, soda and even spicy agave! It was spicy and refreshing- I loved it! And it wasn't overly sweet which was nice. My friend had their Hemingway Daquiri and she enjoyed it - said it was a truly authentic daquiri! We shared some of their fries - generous portions and comes with ketchup and ranch. Their fries are delicious! Ranch dressing can be hit or miss at restaurants and theirs is definitely a hit! Very nice flavors all around. Service is wonderful - warm, welcoming, and attentive. Truly a friendly locals spot. They have bar seating with TV screens, tables scattered around, and some comfy wrap around booths littered with books and old typewriters- I just loved the vibes! They have brunch on Sundays, karaoke on Monday nights, and trivia Tuesdays. Prices are what you'd expect for the area. Parking is almost all street parking (free) - it was easy to find a spot late afternoon on a weekday. They have a tiny parking lot in the back with valet service on Friday and Saturday nights.

Attentive service. Lively atmosphere. Cute library-esque decór. Somewhat limited food menu. Good drinks! We ordered the beef tallow fries, which were good, if maybe a tad too saucey on the garlic aioli, and the fries were a tad TOO crispy. We also had the truffle infused burrata salad, which had more greens and cantaloupe than burrata. It was just HALF a burrata and we definitely did NOT taste any essence of truffle in it. Somewhat disappointing for $17 a plate. The winning dish was the baked mac n cheese with garlic shrimp -- the shrimp was perfectly cooked and the mac was cheesy and tasty. Would def order again!Had a Oaxacan Old Fashioned and a couple of drinks from the menu, all of which were solid. Fun place to come hang with friends or on a date.
