"Edit to Owner response: To reference my initial review, I specifically mentioned that the bartenders assisted multiple patrons who came up to the bar directly next to us (at the middle of the bar), BECAUSE we noticed that there was a section at the end of the bar for ordering (that people throughout the brewery would line up at), however, as previously mentioned, multiple patrons at the bar were being helped as well, and, well, we had a seat at the bar. Had it been the case that they were only taking orders at the end of the bar, we would have gone to the end of the bar to order and this review wouldn't have been written. It was clearly purposeful, and as off-putting as the initial encounter was, the insinuation that we were doing something wrong by the owner is downright insulting.
The first time we came to Steinhardt we really enjoyed it but today we went in for the second time and for some reason experienced the weirdest, most off-putting treatment by the bar staff that made us uncomfortable and likely to never return. My SO and I came in and sat at the bar and looked at the menu for a few minutes to decide what we wanted. They were pretty busy when we first arrived so we didn't question no one coming over to greet us while we were perusing the menu. We decided and waited for a staff member to come over. After about 8 minutes of staff walking past us without acknowledging us (we were seated at the middle of the bar), we started attempting to make eye contact and let them know we were ready to order. At this point the bar had slowed down and there were open seats on both sides of us. Both staff members behind the bar (a blonde girl with a blue flannel on, and a younger male with curly mid length brown hair) completely avoided eye contact with us and seemingly were intentionally not serving us. We continued to make eye contact over the next 7 minutes and watched as they immediately greeted and served 3 separate people who came up to the bar directly next us on either side. We decided to just leave because at this point it was clear they were intentionally avoiding just us for whatever reason. We've never had a single interaction with either of these people and even after wracking our brains we have absolutely no idea why we were singled out and treated so coldly.
After this experience, I highly recommend heading next door to Idiom for better beer and staff members that won't blatantly ignore you and actually want to take your money."
