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!!

I saw the "lights off" review and had to post that this seems to be a running move the employees pull. Seems they run a cult here and if you're not in it you're better off not going to the turtle.

Steer clear of the old blonde bartender. She's a drunk mess. Her lack of professionalism and customer service aside- the bar is a typical hole in the wall. Food is 5/10.

Solid local sports bar, very relaxed. Great lighting, strong drinks.
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.

Great wings surprisingly. A tad expensive in my opinion, but always end up having a great time here.

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.
