text: I will start by saying I really wanted to like this place because the beer selection had me giddy and the food was definitely decent albeit kind of expensive for the ASU neighborhood The pizza was better than the rest of what I sampled from the menu but unfortunately the service was horrendous nWe went towards the end of a celebration involving beer that the town was having and it was Saturday night so we expected it to be on the busier side The bar area was loud thanks to an excessively high music volume I promise I am not just old and grumpy and people getting their buzz on It was a little disorienting and it did not allow my friends and I to carry on a conversation but it is not a big deal It is a college barrestaurant after all The servers as well as the bartender who seemed to be serving and talking with the same few people getting them one drink after another while neglecting everyone else were clearly inattentive and probably overworked It looked to me like everyone had too much on their plates and none of them seemed to be on top of things They were too laid back read spacey or too exhausted to take on the steady stream of customers coming in after us as well as keeping up with existing customers Another employee preferably an alert one thrown into the mix would have made a world of differencenAfter not seeing our server around for awhile I made the mistake of ordering a beer with the guy who brought us our food I passed him my ID to take a look at watched him jot my drink order down and to my dismay he was never to be seen again Wait I take that back I was just reminded that we saw him again when he was hanging out and chatting with friends outside What a coincidence that he was ready to go back inside in a hurry just as we made eye contact while leaving the restaurant When our waitress did eventually come around to see if we were ready for the check I mentioned my long lost beer and she confessed she had not received word of it but was not apologetic which would have improved the situation for me It took a bit longer but I received my beer and my check which of course is a disconcerting combination when I had initially wanted said beer just moments after ordering our food I drank it quickly in an effort to make our way out of the place in a timely manner but regretted not getting to savor it happily with my meal Another thing I want to mention with has absolutely nothing to do with the restaurants service or the food is the fact that their water is not purified This is a nonissue for me in Albuquerque but the tap water in Phoenix tastes remarkably like pond scum to nonNatives such as myself who are well adjusted to better quality water from the tap I think making an effort to provide customers who are drinking and need to stay hydrated with clean filtered water free of charge would give businesses an edge in AZnnOverall I think this restaurant is being managed poorly but has potential I wish the employees were a bit more keen on doing their job because I am sure they are all nice people who I would like to say sweet things about I am not sure if it is a chain I am assuming it is but If they opened one here and it was not understaffed I could potentially frequent it based on the beer selection alone
