People cream their shorts over Trumpet Ale House...why? Maybe it's because it's the only Brewery Downtown? Who knows. Breweries are pretty ubiquitous in Tempe and they don't RUN OUT of anything. Does this make you think that the beer you're enjoying is some how more exclusive? No...it means they don't have room for extra kegs, because they took up the only available slab of real estate in the Arts District.
Also, pretty sure that grandiose sense of self, that the staff possess, has gotten passed down the patrons... It's a place to people watch and "been seen". Ugh...People treat you like shit, and if they manage to crack a smile while staring in your general direction, you somehow feel like part of the club? This isn't High School...and you aren't in Mean Girls Part Deux.
Thing is? I really wanted to love this place : (
3 Stars because they serve (fantastic) food and beer downtown.
Minus 1 star because they run out of shit.
Minus 1 star bc when I order a lambic, I expect the rest of the bottle. I know what I am getting when I order a Belgian Framboise. I also know ya re-corked and reused what I paid for, after you poured a meager serving into the champagne sized flute. Give me what I purchased (like every other bar does).
I'd go back for the food, and not show up on First (Fight the Pretend Art-Loving Crowd) Friday...
