Struggle Street Brewing — Restaurant in Beaumont

It was ok as a quiet meeting place to hang out with friends. Their visiting brews (?) were on sale... the atmosphere was suitably understated with just touches of holiday decor. However, we were the last group in there at close to closing time, and the employees just glared at us instead of closing out tabs and giving credit cards back (they are old school, they keep the card rather that swipe it and give the card back to you, or let you just pay for your drinks as you get them, like every other drinking establishment these days). Had I known, I would have been more on top of things, but my husband was so distracted laughing about something (having a good time) that we left without his card-- and they were of course closed for the next 2 days, and don't have an answering machine... so if you come here, make sure you stay on top of that. Even if you are the only people in the place, they will just watch you stroll slowly out the door...

I went there about a month ago for the 2nd time, excited that I finally had a neighborhood watering hole! Unfortunately, all of our beers were flat and the bartender did not care at all. I also excitedly mentioned that a real neon Struggle Street sign would do wonders to light up Calder and help drive business, the bartender looked at me like I suggested skinning her cat. :/ Lastly, there were about 5 service industry people there that were very very intoxicated. Hopefully they didnt drive but they were screaming and running around outside and we couldnt stand to sit out there anymore. Guess who lit up like a lightbulb when they came inside to order more?? The same bartender who didnt care at all about the other would-be regular guests who are local businesses owners and ex-industry workers.

I say this all as constructive criticism and I do hope that they dont fizzle out like the many other small businesses do in Beaumonts'...

First time trying this brewery. The beer was really good. Service was spot on. Tried the Big Dill cauliflower crust pizza, not bad at all. Then we were still hungry, so we tried The Bus Combo appetizer, it was excellent from what we could eat. (We were full, but not full enough to try the burger sliders) Those sliders (not pictured) because they were eaten before picture time. Boudin egg rolls, and pepperoni pizza we didn't get to, but I'm sure they were tasty as well.

Update:)went there and they had smash burgers and a pop...
