Justyna was born in Kazimierza Wielka, Poland and came to the United States with her parents when she was 11. Her family started out in Chicago but eventually moved to Cleveland because her dad had friends and work connections in the area. Justyna says, “It was hard at first to get used to a completely new country, new language, new culture but things got easier as time passed by.” Justyna attended Cleveland State University and obtained a business degree. Justyna’s day job is at the Federal Reserve Bank, which she says is a completely different work culture than the taproom. Justyna enjoys getting to leave work and head to SRB where she enjoys joking around and talking beer with our customers. When she’s not working you’ll find Justyna along with her husband in the park, riding bikes or hiking.
Favorite CLE thing to do- Run, bike and take a walk in our back yard the Cleveland Metro parks. We usually go on adventures many times a week. When I am not at the park, I am always on the lookout for new restaurants and bars in Cleveland. My best friend (Ivana) and I like to explore our city and finding new good eats and mostly beers.
The best part of my job at SRB- being myself after I get out of the office job downtown. It is getting new beer updates from Pete. It is seeing our regulars on a weekly basis, our customers have become family over the year. I love the fact that we have a similar sense of humor, it is so easy to talk to everyone, tell jokes.
My most memorable moment at SRB- is when first starting here as a bartender, since this is my first bartending job ever, I was very nervous to start. But with the help of everyone here at SRB, I was able to learn quickly. A year later and I am very glad to have joined this great team.
