"Westgate's game-day brewpub — State 48 Funk House pours 30-plus house beers beside an IPA-glazed bacon burger and beer-battered cod, steps from State Farm Stadium."
About State 48 Funk House
State 48 Funk House is the Westgate taproom of Glendale's home-grown State 48 Brewery, which opened this fourth location in the Westgate Entertainment District before the 2018 Arizona Cardinals season. It is a sprawling, full-service brewpub built for crowds on a stadium night — a long bar, a scratch kitchen, and bowling, billiards and a shuffleboard table at the back — rather than a quiet dinner room. The draw is house beer poured a few hundred feet from State Farm Stadium and Desert Diamond Arena.
For Glendale's other tables, compare the steaks at Arrowhead Grill, the modern steakhouse Nineteen86 or the family Italian at Cucina Tagliani. It sits within the broader Arizona grill-and-barbecue scene.
The Kitchen
Everything is made in house from scratch, built to soak up the 30-plus beers on tap — the brewery leans into sour, barrel-aged and "funky" fermented styles that give the Funk House its name. From the kitchen, the IPA-sriracha-glazed bacon burger is the signature, alongside beer-battered Alaskan cod fish and chips and Bavarian-style soft pretzels with house beer-cheese sauce. Starters run to buffalo-ranch chicken dip with tortilla chips and shareable onion rings. Prices stay in casual-pub territory, with most plates well under twenty dollars.
The Room
The room is loud, bright and sociable — a taproom-and-games hall more than a restaurant — with the brewing tanks in view and the bowling and billiards keeping a younger Westgate crowd late on weekends. It runs to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. This is a place for a group before or after an event, not an intimate evening, and it earns its loyalty on the beer, the games and the easy scratch food rather than the setting.
Best for Team Dinner
Long tables, shared plates and house beer make State 48 Funk House an easy team dinner or game-day gathering in Glendale. The bowling and billiards also suit a relaxed birthday night, or a low-key first date over a flight of sours.
Not for
Not for couples after a quiet, dressed-up dinner — State 48 Funk House is a loud, large brewpub with bowling and billiards, built for groups and game nights rather than an intimate evening.
