Starr Brothers Brewing

So glad we made time to stop in. First off staff is attentive, there’s a Happy Hour and Free WiFi! Their beer will be ready later this month so they are serving guest locals on tap. But lets get serious… We came for the food and we were not disappointed. Started with the truffle chips which were full of flavor from the blue cheese to the fresh basil. Then we shared the beef and mushroom pasta and what a big wow! First off it’s served with 4 slices of beef on top of pasta perfectly seasoned and full of wild mushrooms– even the croûton on the side was delicious!

Three visits:
Visit #1 — Packed Friday after the opening. No place to park. No place to stand. Left and decided to try next day.
Visit #2: Saturday afternoon, the inefficient seating arrangement made for nowhere to sit, though the place wasn’t packed. Six-​person tables were taken up with only two people sitting at them. We looked for a place to sit while wait staff zipped past us several times. No one acknowledged us. We left and headed elsewhere.
Visit #3: Sunday afternoon, found a seat. Sat ignored for several minutes before server came and said she’d give us a couple of minutes to decide what to order. We sat for another 10 – 15 minutes before she returned.
The food came out in decent time, served by the manager. Good portions. Very good sandwiches on par or better than any brewery in town. It’s an ambitious menu, and the food we received was well prepared.
Our server seated a group of her friends and spent the entire time re-​visiting their table and chatting with them. We flagged down another server for our check.
Paying with credit card is a little uncomfortable, as the server hovers while you figure out the tip.
Overall, it’s an attractive space in a part of town needing a good brewery (Sandia Grill doesn’t count). The food menu is vast. They don’t serve any of their own beer yet, but there are good choices from other local breweries.
Starr Brothers could be an excellent competitor if their bad service can be improved. Until they find their stride, I can’t recommend it.

The beers are made by other Brewers and well chosen. I had fish and chips; fish is a high average and chips are way above average. Open a week now so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Nice open place with good service at 3pm.

I’m so glad this brewery finally opened! Standing room only and a slight wait is typical for a brand new successful restaurant. Totally worth the wait. My friends and I had a little bit of everything, pizza, wings, and some sliders. Even my picky little sister liked it all. Staff was obviously busy but every time they came by they had a smile on their face and they got our order exactly right:) Can’t wait to come back into town and visit them again!

Friendly staff, good food, a little pricey and the waitress could’ve been more attentive but we will try again. Nicest person there was actually the bus boy. The fries with red chile were delicious!
Once the kinks get worked out in sure it be fantastic.

This place is fantastic! The food is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful, the beer is delicious. Everyone can get something from here. It’s great!!!

$ 6.50 for a happy hour 20oz which was supposedly $ 2 off regular price. There was a considerable wait from the time I sat down, ordered, then served and was assured I got my beer right in time before the end of happy hour. Maybe I was overcharged? There were no printings of the current beer list, so I could not read the beer list which was described as either above the tap handles on 3“x3″ squares or on small chalk boards hanging on the wall next to the bar. I suggest denoting less wall space to televisions and more to the beers on tap. The food menu looked good but only had time for one beer. I feel bad writing a subpar review on a new place and hope they get it right before it’s too late in a very competitive craft brew market.

Saw this place as we were driving by, and decided to stop in. We were ignored for ~12 minutes before a man came up to ask what we wanted. We ordered our beer, and waited another 10 minutes to get those beers and our menus. From this point on we never saw our server again.
After sipping our beers for another 20 minutes, we asked a different waitress for our check. She apologized and let us know that our original waiter was actually the general manager. She helped us to cash out and was incredibly helpful/​pleasant throughout our interaction with her.
I paid $ 6 for some beer from Bosque brewery and had the pleasure of being neglected by the manager of the establishment. He could take some lessons in management from the very nice server that helped us at the end.

Wow what a great place for the far NE. We drove from Corrales to check it out and are very glad we did. It’s still super new and they don’t have their own beer yet. Currently they are serving guests taps from Boxing Bear which is just okay craft beer. The menu has a large selection of foods but the entrees aren’t available yet but do look inviting. There’s a big selection of small bites which certainly double as full meals as well as a full selection of burgers. All 5 of us had different meals and everyone was very happy. Good sized portions, and very tasty. Inside is big and open. We were here around noon on Saturday and all the tables were taken but not full. There were several tables with little kids which worked out fine for them. The acoustics aren’t bad for all the hard surfaces. It may get pretty loud when it’s really full. I’m looking forward to a full menu being ready and their own taps.

This place is fantastic. Great food, great environment, great location, plenty of televisions!
