The Glass Turtle

I love every minute I spend here. It's like walking into your living room. Safe, fun and good vibes. Great for sports and really good food!! Love their bartenders no matter what time of day or night. Owners are great!

Word to the wise, there isn't actually a glass turtle at this establishment... At least not one I could find. I looked in the seating area, behind the bar, in the restrooms, and even under the tables, where all I found was gum. All that searching made me thirsty, so ordered a brew. It was cold, sudsy, and served with a smile. The bartender even gave me a coupe samples before I made a decision. I was pleased with the beer and service. I was also pleased with how much this bar had to offer. They had some great tunes on the speakers, big screen TV's, an awesome patio, and karaoke. It's a lively place with a fun crowd and definitely worth visiting.

Alright, I admit, I have been driving past this place for decades. I always thought "Huh, cool name. I should stop sometime" but never did for some reason. Last night my wife and I were driving past after an event in Rocklin and we decided to finally give it a shot. Why have we not been here before?! An incredibly cozy and fun neighborhood bar. Great food; my cheesesteak was amazing and the homemade chips were on point. The prices are totally fair. The ambience was fun with a lot of regulars in good spirits. The music was there but not so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. Apparently one of the owners is from Chicago, so there is plenty of Cubs and Bears paraphernalia along with SF gear (the other owner is NorCal) and it definitely has the Midwest "neighborhood bar" vibe. I half expected to see a bottle of Mallort behind the bar. Anyway, you should definitely stop driving by The Glass Turtle and stop in!!

The Glass Turtle is a fun, comfortable sports bar and lounge that serves delicious pub cuisine, with many choices of beer on tap, any mixed drink you can imagine. If you're a lover of the great outdoors, the restaurant features an amazing patio, where you can relax, enjoy a drink or a fine meal, and watch the world go by. The Glass Turtle is a great bar and a wonderful restaurant, located in Roseville, CA.The front door is located on the deck of the restaurant, and you'll note the sports pennants and beer signs, along with the California state flag. You've truly arrived! As you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the long bar, with many bar stools, which were well-seated on this early Friday afternoon. The dining room is spacious, and furnished with tall tables and chairs, which make for comfortable dining.The bar features many beers on tap, which tend to run on the "premium" side of things. Besides beer taps, the bar is decorated with every type of bottle you would ever wish for, and in my case, many brands and bottles that I've never heard of, since I'm mostly a beer kind of guy. To enhance the "sports bar" feel to the lounge, there are television monitors, what at the time of my visit, were tuned to a major league baseball game in progress. The furniture is tall bar tables with matching chairs, all in polished oak, which makes for attractive furniture. The patio is located in front of the restaurant, on a wooden deck, and offers both tall bar table and chairs, and standard tables and chairs for your dining pleasure. The patio is covered, shaded, and there are heaters to keep things warm during cold weather. On this early July afternoon, with the temperature hovering around he 90-degree mark, I chose to enjoy my delicious "GT Burger" outside on the patio.From the "Large Plates" section of the menu, I went with the "flagship" burger, the "GT Burger," and a side of onion rings. As optional "add-ons" - for a small additional charge - for the burger, I added "Pepper Jack Cheese," along with "Applewood" bacon. I upgraded the "House Potato Chips" to "Onion Rings," again, for a small additional fee, but I was simply craving onion rings on this Friday afternoon. I wasn't disappointed!This delicious burger starts out with a third pound of premium Angus beef, cooked to order. I ordered my meat to be cooked medium, and it arrived as ordered, juicy, lightly seasoned and just a little crisp on the outside, and moist and tender inside. The meat was placed inside a lightly buttered and toasted bun.I ordered "everything" on my burger, and my burger arrived garnished with sliced tomato, white onion and a couple slices of lettuce. All veggies were crisp, fresh and chilled, which made an amazing contrast to the warm meat, cheese, bacon and bun. One of the criteria for a "top shelf" burger is the contrast between warm and chilled, and The Glass Turtle "nailed" this burger category. The burger arrived without any dressing, which I always love, as I prefer to customize my burger, and enjoy it MY WAY. A tray of condiments was placed on the table, which included mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, along with a bottle of "Tapatio" Mexican hot sauce, but the burger was so juicy and delicious that it didn't need any "enhancements" as I loved it the way it arrived.I upgraded my burger by adding a slice of "Pepper Jack" cheese, along with a couple pieces of "Applewood" sliced bacon. For the added taste sensation, I can afford to spend a couple extra bucks before contacting my banker!I paid an extra dollar for the side of "Onion Rings," as I'm not a fan of potato chips with a burger, as I prefer something more substantial. "Onion Rings" made the prefect side for the "GT Burger," The onion rings were light, crispy, and perfectly deep fried to a golden brown, with crispy fried batter on the outside, which complimented and contrasted with the tender white onion. The onion-to-batter ratio were perfect, and the onion rings were simply delicious.My "GT Burger" and side of "Onion Rings" were simply delicious, and perfect in every way. Burger lovers should take note that The Glass Turtle delivers an amazing burger!The Glass Turtle serves delicious food, ice cold beer, and if the weather is nice, you'll enjoy your amazing meal on the friendly and comfortable patio. Fine drinks and dining is to be enjoyed at The Glass Turtle, located in Roseville, CA.

Been going to this small place many times over a decade or so.. Haven't been lately ,but it's a great place to get a drink enjoy the company or even sit outside and watch the cars go by..Come down get a drink with a good conversation from others there..

Small older pub with excellent food. My boyfriend loves the BLT and I always try something new and have never been disappointed. Basic options, but they do a really good job executing their dishes.

I am pretty new to the area and a neighbor told me that the best burger in Roseville was served here. I had to try it. It really WAS the best burger I have had in Rosevill in 5 years - and I like burgers! I do not drink but, my friends both had beer and enjoyed every drop. My experience was that the service was top-notch and I, as a single woman, felt very safe and comfortable. The local regulars - that everyplace needs to survive - were friendly and respectful and just there to have a nice evening. I plan on joining there ranks immediately! I will just walk my doggies over and have a burger!

We stopped by on the way to a party where we choose not to eat because of sanitary reasons. Had some nachos and a couple of drinks. David was our bartender. Happy to be here, attentive, on top of things. Might be back for football tomorrow.

Been a few times and no complaints. The big man behind the bar provides 5 star service. Nice chill place though can be (too) loud at times.

Came in for a drink, waited patiently at the bar top to be served BUT the bartender was too busy taking shots with guests so we left. Extremely unprofessional.
