This place is a true neighborhood gem. Inkwell Tavern checks ALL the boxes; the food, drinks, service and ambience are spot on. We tried the Beef Tallow Waffle fries, Wilted Brussel Sprouts Salad and Shappy's Philly Style Pretzel and truly loved them all.
The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the vibe and art on the walls made for something unique and very unexpected in Burbank. I think because I used to work in restaurants and the hospitality industry, I have an eye for those that are really doing it right on all levels, and Inkwell Tavern is. Try this place out, you will be very glad you did!

Can't say enough great things about Inkwell. The cocktails are fantastic, service is great and the vibe is very chill. We had a birthday party here a couple months ago and the staff was so accommodating, making planning so easy. Our guests were all so complimentary of the food and drinks. So happy to have a place like this in Burbank!

Cast Iron Chocolate Cake
I love Inkwell Tavern! The staff is so friendly and there is a warm and cozy ambience.
There is a cute little outdoor area in the back that I've dined at for Sunday Brunch and in the evening sometimes.
They have Trivia on Tuesdays, which is super fun, and Karaoke on Mondays.
The staff knows their stuff when it comes to drinks. They've custom made some for me and they're always good.
The clientele tends to be a mix of locals and entertainment industry people.
My favorite food there is their baked brie. Beautifully put together and excellent tasting.
There is always plenty of parking on the street if you can walk a block or so. Otherwise they have a valet on busy nights. Just pull out back.

Marinated Skirt Steak
Absolutely charming place in the heart of Burbank. Eclectic mix of handmade cocktails (my favorite) and delicious array of small plates. I had a fabulous time and will definitely keep this on my list of places to meet up with friends!
