What People Are Saying About New Old Lompoc

The Scene – The low-key atmosphere at this neighborhood brewpub is a refreshing change from the bevy of trendy shops and restaurants that line the rest of 23rd Avenue. Named after a bar in an old Mae West movie, the Lompoc has been crafting its own brews since the mid-nineties, and features a variety of ales and lagers with memorable names. The John Outhouse Special Bitter, for example, is an English-style beer, and tastes much better than it sounds. – – The Draw – The beautiful, vine-covered patio out back is reason enough to visit. When the weather cooperates,…

Disappointed -

Seems to be a general disdain for the customers.
Also, I think they're not using the correct type of detergent for their beer glasses, I detect a faint whiff of chlorine, pretty much ruins any beer. The staff has been inattentive to rude on the times I've been there over the past few years. I asked for a sandwich menu, and was told, "we don't have a sandwich menu, just a regular menu", in a snide voice. Then he never returned to ask me if I wanted to order, and I was sitting at the bar. I tipped accordingly.
- Pros: not crowded
- Cons: rude staff, beer glasses have faint chlorine odor

We generally do a lunch a NOL, and have yet to be disappointed. I always order fries dark and crispy -- and they are great! Burgers to order, excellent. And with no more smoking, air is breathable. And the beer?
That's the best part of dining here.
- Pros: Great Beer, solid pub grub
- Cons: Atmosphere might not what people like

Overcharged by rude staff. Twice.

Forget about it. I had gone to this place for ten years, but never again. The service was often lacking, but two consecutive trips where my change was not returned and the waiter acted like I was doing her a favor has made my decision for me. An email to the website received no response. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Try the Hawthorne St. Alehouse instead.
