Dr. Proctor's Lounge

You wouldn't necessarily expect it, driving through the Glendale strip mall that houses shops like the Bookies, but Dr. Proctor's is a bit of an institution, having been around for over thirty years. A large space with tons of pool tables (free from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and a kitschy atmosphere, the lounge has been cranking out food and drinks behind its nondescript facade with impressive longevity. The kitchen specializes in comfort-food lunches and burgers and burritos for dinner. Happy hour runs from mid-day through early evening on weekdays, and there's karaoke later in the week. Most of the time, though, you can find locals knocking back brews and knocking billiard balls a round, keeping the good doctor in business.
