Thirsty Lion Glendale is the West Valley’s go-to rooftop restaurant inside Westgate Entertainment District—minutes from State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena. Think scratch-made comfort food with global flair, daily happy hour, weekend brunch, and a lively two-story vibe made for game days, concerts, and sunset hangs.

Why Thirsty Lion Glendale Stands Out

• Rooftop bar & patio (3,983 sq. ft.) with indoor/outdoor seating, granite bars, TVs, and room for big groups—energy is 🔥 on event nights.

• Craft cocktails & local beer → fresh fruit purées, hand-pressed juices, curated taps.

• Capacity for the crew → the two-story restaurant seats up to 515 guests.

• Location, location → walkable to Westgate’s shops and entertainment; perfect restaurants near State Farm Stadium for pre-game or post-concert plans.
