Unfortunately, I can't use the language and expletives necessary to express my anger for this place! After purchasing Level Crossing beer from the liquor store many times, I was really looking forward to trying my favorite beer on draft yesterday, but that did not happen. My wife, my 82 year old mother-in-law (who cannot drink) and I walked to the door for our first visit only to be turned away immediately because my MIL didn't have I.D. Being 82 and battling Alzheimer's Disease, she no longer has need for I.D., and nor should you need to demand I.D. from her or any senior citizen!!! In short, you've lost a customer! We will never return to Level Crossing, nor will I ever buy your beer again! With customer service like this, I will find other beer to drink and other places to eat in Salt Lake City!

Update: Nearly a month has passed since my initial review here, and we went to Squatters last night. Squatters was fabulous! We were immediately seated (without being rudely harassed for I.D.), we had prompt, courteous and responsive service, and the food was excellent. I also had the chance to try one of their brand new IPA's, and it was very good! I will definitely be going back to Squatters!

Response to owner: Sounds like you need help! So, from the DABS website, see the following:

You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase, possess or be provided with any alcoholic beverage in Utah. Therefore, proper identification is required to prove age before a person may obtain an alcohol product. In all bars and bar areas in restaurants, a patron who appears to be younger than 35 years old must also have their identification checked by an approved scanner. If you clearly appear to be older than 35 years old, you might not need to provide identification.

Some businesses will always require an identification check as their business policy. It is best practice to have your I.D. ready if you are planning on ordering an alcoholic beverage. Acceptable forms of identification include:

A valid passport A valid U.S. driver’s license A valid U.S. military identification card with a date of birth and a photo A valid U.S. state issued identification card.

When an 82 year old woman walks into your establishment, THERE IS NO NEED TO ASK FOR HER I.D. When a sixty year old man and woman walk into your establishment, THERE IS NO NEED TO ASK FOR THEIR I.D. In either case, it is CLEARLY OBVIOUS to know we are of legal age to consume alcohol in ANY STATE OF THIS COUNTRY! Yes, it is time for you to reevaluate your policy, and state law DOES NOT require zero tolerance, but I'm sure you knew this. You booted us out. We won't be back, but thanks for the invite, anyway. I'll stick with Squatters.
