Bars Hats
Description: For decades, Big Fish Bar & Grill was Glendale, California's favorite dive bar, a place where beloved bartenders were slinging stiff drinks, and everyone knew your name. The bar maintained its underwhelming 1940s aesthetic by pretty much doing nothing to update or improve the place over the years, and that's exactly what people liked about it. Sadly, the sale of the bar in 2015 turned 'The Fish' on its head as new owners laid off long-time staff and began renovating it. Locals were less than impressed with the hipster gentrification makeover, and the updated version of Big Fish didn't go over very well with the regulars, but to their credit, the new owners pressed on with a new name and a new vibe that ended up being successful.
