38 Degrees Ale House & Grill, Alhambra CA

Food was great, draught beer selection is amazing. Update: 38 Degrees continues to impress. I've been quite disappointed with eating out lately. Eat here if you feel the same way! You will be delightfully surprised.

Came for bar food and cocktails, and we were pleasantly surprised. The buffalo wings were good but the chipotle honey wings were amazing. The Philly Argentine was a very satisfying slightly upscale version of a Philly cheese steak. The cocktails were also good, and they were $2 off because we went during their surprisingly wide cocktail hours. Will definitely come back to try some more of the menu

The ribs were horrible as if they were just fried in the fryer.super dry.the server was great and the drinks were delicious.if they offer a BBQ plate I believe they should focus on freshness and deliver a fresh plate of food.that was not the case. I suggest to avoid the food

Went here with my friend after a flic. Sat at the bar and the keep was attentive and helpful. The calamari delightfully the best I've had!

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 kinda dry without it (we ordered a second round without the hot sauce cause we weak).

Their fries are delicioussss! Especially the sweet potato and ESPECIALLY the garlic aioli sauce!

The ribs were pretty good but a LITTLE dry.

I ordered the strawberry cocktail and it was not sweet enough (but not bad).

The service was pretty good and they were friendly. Only a few times we had to flag ‘em down. But it was busy, so understandable.

Def would come back for the happy hour tacos and fries

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 stood out.

Went back after Grill Em All, with our friends for round 2. The staff are quick and friendly, and the drinks went down well. We split some fries with drinks, for round 2, and they were good and arrived fast, with our drinks.

I'll definitely come back 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 the atmosphere is decidedly more casual with the general vibe of a sports bar and all the TVs around the restaurant. I for one enjoyed the fact that I could find great food, beer, and watch the game all at the same time. When I went on a Wednesday evening it 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.

Enjoyed our time at this place. Live close enough to walk to it. Stephanie was our server and was great! Knew the menu well and made food and drink recommendations which we were able enjoy Had a good time and will be back again!

Out of the handful of bars in Downtown Alhambra, this is my favorite. Extensive beer menu. Good eats. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good vibe.

Went here on a Sunday just to try it out with my husband and mom. Very chill vibes and good music playing. Bartender were all very nice and friendly. Mom loved the Despacito Margarita hubby and I had some good IPA drinks forgot the names but they were so refreshing. Thanks for having us!

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 off select beers/drinks. There's a free parking structure down the street.

Im a local here in Alhambra and we love the beer and burger here great place to chill with friends or have a mini date night!

My brother and I met with a glass of wine (which turned into three) one evening, and sat by the open fire for several hours. The staff was very helpful and allowed to stay an hour after closing. There were several options on the menu and the cabbage caesar was great.

Excellent place. Everything on their menu is delish! Especially the bbq, meatloaf, mac and cheese, flat breads... Everything!

Food here is always amazing, and only exceeded by all of the fabulous servers. I look forward to eating here every week, especially on Taco Tuesday.

Good tasting food. Excellent customer service. Plenty of beer choices available. Great atmosphere. Games were on the tv. Clean restaurant/bar. Food was served in a timely manner. Great place to hang out with friends and family.

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 bbq tray (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 ordered pork ribs but forgot to take a photo.

Great friendly service! Chill atmosphere, great place for food and drinks.

Meat trays are definitely worth it. The pulled pork was a smidge dry though. The other selections were significantly more juicy. Should split this someone unless you plan on taking some home.
Coleslaw had some spice to it. Very complimentary. Mashed potatoes needed an extra "umph". Something like garlic or ever fresh pepper can bring it up a level.

I'm told the poutine fries were good from my friend that ordered them. Didn't get a chance to try any as they demolished the plate! Must've been good!

Mac was great, definitely a solid choice!

Can never go wrong with sliders!

Their sauce definitely makes an improvement to everything.

Drinks were great.

Loved the pork ribs but everyone else thought they were dry. Maybe they got bad ribs because the ones I tried were pretty juicy (I ate them late too). It's also possible that they might have just been expecting a saucey rib rather than a dry rub rib.

The buttermilk chicken was decent, that garlic sauce definitely brought it up a level! Y'all need 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!
