A couple of months ago, we noticed the transformation begin on a building here in Amarillo. What was once known as C18 looked like they were changing into a new place to eat.
From C18 to El Agasajo
When it was C18, or Cerveceria 18, they started off strong with some great pricing on their food. We saw a lot of complaints, though, about the cost of alcohol, but they were chugging along.
Then they had some drama on a day when they had no working water. They opted to stay open and have buckets to flush toilets. That hit social media, and it caused them to receive a lot of flak. We are not sure they ever really recovered from that.
