This actually happened back in March so it might seem a little petty to bring this up now, but when I was recounting this event with one of my coworkers they encouraged me to write the review anyway, so here it goes. I had never experienced any type of terrible service from this place until that evening in March and I have not gone back since. I invited one of my old friends to Steelbender as he was in town visiting for the week and wanted to catch up. We had ordered food and drinks between him and I. This was around 6pm. Our server, for the most part, was kind and courteous and attentive. My friend and I did what most normal humans do and took 2 hours to eat, drink and catch up. As the evening progressed, we had asked for boxes for our leftovers and closed out our tabs. We stayed at our table after paying our tabs (a little after 8pm) as we were deep into our conversation. There were people starting to form a line for tables as this was a Friday Night. While sitting there, our server (a guy with square glasses) comes up to us and says, "Hey, so we have other people waiting, so it would be nice if you could clear the table so we can seat other people." Now look, I get that you guys are popular or whatever, but the fact that someone else showed up to eat and drink after us is not my problem. I've dined at multiple places in Albuquerque where I've stayed at my table until closing and not once was I asked to "clear my table," for another party. On the contrary, I've had servers in other establishments offer my party water while we chatted and I've often opened up new tabs for more drinks or desserts when servers have done that with a nice tip included for them. I almost did the indecent thing and nearly asked for my tip back from this guy, but it wasn't even worth the time and I didn't want to be the same kind of jerk that this guy was - an eye for an eye leaves the world blind, afterall- My friend and I were very dissatisfied with the experience. We promptly went to Marble where we got to hang out until Midnight and not once were we asked to clear our table.

Want my advice? Dine here if you want to be rushed out as quickly as possible and have your mood ruined. Me personally, I'll be taking my business to any other brewery in this town where I can kick back with my friends comfortably.
