I went with 2 people and have been here before and we all are over 24 and have real ids but refused to serve us and was talking to the only other guy in the bar ignoring us.

I am sorry that you and your friends had a negative experience, this is not the standard of service we try to provide.
That nights bartender is not our regular server and we do get minors occasionally trying to get beer. In this industry we have to give our serves the authority to deny service if they feel some one under 21 is trying to get alcohol, otherwise we risk losing our license and ability to do business.
However, in this case we have made a mistake, I will discuss service expectations with my bartender to make sure she is more attentive in the future and will make sure to have her review how to properly distinguish legitimate ID's from fakes.
Again, I apologize for the poor experience you had. I hope you will give us an opportunity to do better in the future. Thanks

Underrated and amazing. I've traveled the country to over 300 breweries and 1st Barrel is pretty cool. Heart of downtown St. Jo, my favorite thing is how many tables there are. Great for dates, meetings, and for me getting work done. Also a few lounge couches. Great beer too. Will definitely be back.
