rock bottom restaurant & brewery

undecided.... mac and cheese was really good, drinks were not impressive. inexperienced server. as a waitress i'm pretty understanding to being busy and even being inexperienced. i specifically asked our server if the margarita was blended or on the rocks. he said it was blended and i said yes i'll take that. i received my drink.. on the rocks. not a big deal. i asked if i could get mydrinkblended... i don't think he even realized his mistake. he said yes and took thedrinkback to the bar. unfortunately when he brought it back, the bar had literally dumped my margarita into a blender.. the ice was separated from the liquid and the whole margarita tasted like salt. i have to assume the bartender dumped thedrinkinto a blender and then dumped it back into the glass mixing the salt right into the drink.. not impressed. the rest of the food was okay.. nothing too spectacular..

rude staff!
just stopped at rock bottom after man of lamancha. sat down and bartender offered a drink, but if he offered a menu we never heard. when my wife asked if a menu had been offered, he rudely responded, "i offered!" to which she apologized and said she missed that. rather than accepting the misunderstanding and moving forward, he said, "well i did." we paid ourdrinkbill and went to the host desk to ask for a manager. we were done there, but wanted to let them know why as many places ask for a customers to give them a chance to make it right. we did and she offered a table away from him. while a nice gesture, it really did not address how we were treated by patrick. we let her know we were going to grab a bite and anotherdrinkelsewhere to which she wished us a good night. if one wonders why this establishment was 10% full on friday night, wonder no more.

great burgers, just ok beer. as @theweasel stated, rock bottom brewery isn't going to win any big awards for there brews. at the same time, it's fun todrinka pint of beer at the same place it was made, and they do have some seasonals that are quite good.

the food on the other hand was great. i've been to the location in the minneapolis airport a few times, and felt the food was just ok. the food in milwaukee (at least the burgers) were amazing. fries were done to perfection. the coleslaw was also very good. in my group we ordered two patty melts and one bourbonzoula (not sure on spelling). all three were amazing.

i will definitely return next time i'm in the area for a burger and beer. the location is also what makes this restaurant shine.
