Trust Beer Bar — Restaurant in St. Catharines

Typically I try to avoid reviewing until I’ve been to a place a few different times. This place was definitely the anomaly.

A group of five of us went out on a hot sunny afternoon. Although the lack of shade from lack of canopy meant that the tables were steaming hot and our bare skins were stinging (from wearing shorts) the place was very well done with its atmosphere, staff, and general decor. Having an option for shade other than sitting inside would be simply amazing, but not a real issue when you’re eating.

All of the alcoholic beverages are priced very reasonably. You can sit and drink half of their menu, and already be too drunk to drive. It is definitely worth coming multiple times simply to taste a little bit of everything. For the designated driver, non-alcoholic drinks are a little pricey. A Coca-Cola from Mexico, cost four Canadian dollars, for the same amount of pop thats in can of 355 mL.

The food, is simply divine. A smoky chicken taco which cost six dollars is simply amazing but not filling. It is something just to cleanse your pallet with the alcoholic beverages. The rest of us ordered Birria Beef Crunch Wraps for $15, and they were simply the most amazing rap ever. If any other establishment were to make a copy of this rap, it would not be done with real beef, it would not be filling, and would charge minimum $23. The beef wrap is simply the most amazing thing they have and was also highly recommended by the waitress. It is worth the drive just for this! I will be definitely coming back, with different friends, and with different friends after that, just to introduce them to simply one of the best places I’ve been...

I forgot my ID — both of my buddies had theirs. Lame, but I just tell the server I just won’t drink tonight (I was only gonna have one anyways because I was DDing). He glares at us, says nothing, then leaves. Comes back a few minutes later and tells us we have to get out because they won’t serve any table with a person who doesn’t have an ID after 11 — which is lame, because my friends had everything necessary. But I get it if it’s business policy.

What I don’t get is why this dude treated us like mud from the second we came in to the second we left. Barely saying anything to us, just lots of vacant staring and visibly angry facial expressions (from the first time he came to our table). Went on an unprompted bitter tangent about how my “forgetfulness isn’t his problem” when he told us he wouldn’t serve us. I never once implied it was, and we didn’t argue at all about having to leave. We were there maybe 10 minutes total and the entire time we were uncomfortable.

I wouldn’t have held ID policies against the business if we weren’t treated so aggressively from the get-go, but as it stands I won’t be coming back to drink and wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody who likes supporting businesses that practice basic customer service. I’ve worked retail. It isn’t that hard to be cordial to customers. To the ‘stached wannabe hipster dude who served us — I truly hope you find happiness one day so you can stop taking out your frustration on...

The first time I came to trust everything was amazing, the food was so good, everything I ordered had no spice to it and the flavour was phenomenal. The second time I came I ordered the chicken Crunchwrap it was a bit spicy so I couldn’t finish it, otherwise it was good so I thought it was maybe just the Crunchwrap and I would try ordering something else. Tonight my husband, brother in law and I came because again I was really liking the food and the first time I came I ordered the Smokey chicken tacos and they were so good. Tonight, food took almost 1.5 hours and everything was quite spicy. The Aztec nachos are not supposed to be spicy and neither is the Smokey chicken tacos, other than a bit of chipotle but this was more than a kick from chipotle sauce. I am not someone who tolerates spicy food well so I purposely order food that isn’t supposed to be spicy. Every single food tonight had that same lingering heat that gave me awful heartburn and made me feel sick. My husband works in a kitchen in the area and was wondering if maybe there was spice contamination from other orders crossing over to ours. Also I understand the long wait because you guys are packed and the kitchen is tiny with 1-2 people working. I think with the popularity of the place that’s not sufficient enough. It’s a good place,...
