Original 40 Brewing Company — Restaurant in San Diego

On Tuesday, March 18 I went for a puzzle event, I have been here many times for this event and have had a pleasant time. The 1st time I went with my friend we encountered a male bartender that was fairly rude but we got thru it, my friend did not leave him any tip and left him $1, he was not working the next 4 to 5 times we went and all the employees were very nice, we even sat next to the owner Steve once and he was very nice. Well on Tuesday the original bartender from our first visit was working and as I approached the bar to order food he verbally attacked me and said "YOU ARE RUDE, YOU ARE ALWAYS RUDE", I responded you are the rude one and I walked away, my same girlfriend then ordered her food because she was in shock, she ate and we departed, again she didn't tip him...in that short time he came over to me at the bar and harassed me 2 more times....I told the puzzle event organizer and will not be going back there ever again...NO EMPLOYEE SHOULD EVER SPEAK TO A PATRON...

We got the poutine style fries ~$16. The fries were good, but the toppings (cheese curds, shredded beef, other herb seasonings) a bit salty. Lots of seating, you can hang out in the front, by the displayed brewery equipment, or outside. They also have Trivia on Sundays! I'd come back again to try other beers. Ask about their secret favorites.

For parking, there's a paid parking lot around the corner or street parking (some...

I have been trying to contact this restaurant via Instagram and phone for several days and have not received any response.

Unfortunately, I experienced a very troubling incident with one of the staff members. Over the course of an hour, I personally witnessed him consuming four or more alcoholic drinks in front of customers, while also insisting that we take free drinks—even after I declined.

The situation escalated when a female friend I was with went to the restroom, and this staff member followed her into the women’s restroom, calling her name as he entered. When I confronted him about this inappropriate behavior, I was told it didn’t happen and was asked to leave the restaurant.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable and unsafe, especially toward female guests. It is extremely concerning that this individual remains employed here. I strongly urge management to take immediate action and would appreciate a call back to address...
