The Hop Yard

The best word that comes to mind is unmemorable. The atmosphere is genuinely nice for a bar: industrial with exposed brick and those garage doors that give it a cool, open vibe. It reminded me a lot of Gasoline Street Coffee Company in Pittsburgh. Service was good despite the light staffing. On our Friday evening visit, as far as I could see there was only one person handling the bar and tables, but she was friendly, attentive, and handled everything with a smile. Unfortunately, the two biggest reasons most people head to a bar/restaurant—food and drinks—fell a bit flat. The food was fine, but nothing stood out, and portions/prices felt a little high for the quality. The biggest downside was how quiet it was. A Friday night with only 2–3 other patrons made the place feel empty and a bit

Great pretzel but the beer cheese was actually gross 🤮. The bbq pizza pita was ok. It wasn’t bad but was not something I would come back and order. My husband and father got the fish and chips and loved it. They were out of the potato bacon soup which I really wanted but maybe next time. My mom didn’t care for the bacon chicken ranch wrap but she also has kind of bland taste so who knows. The bar is really cute and decorated nicely and has a nice vibe. Staff is friendly and they keep up with everyone.

Way overpriced and under flavoured. First, ten wings for $17.99. Second, no mixing of flavours allowed. Third, Alabama white sauce had zero flavour. If it would not have been for it being a tour stop, I would have left as soon as I saw the prices. With tip I had a horrible $40 lunch.

Sadly this beautiful place was a big disappointment for me and my friends. The bartender was alone (assuming he had a cook, at least) and there were only about 15 people in the whole place but he was expecting a birthday party to arrive in an hour and he was already frazzled. Our hotdogs were the skinniest dogs I’ve ever seen. Couldn’t even taste them. Only the chili and roll were noticed. And our glasses were disgusting. See pic! Couldn’t do any tastings. None of us plan to go back.

If the food was a good as the atmosphere the place would be a straight 5 stars. Sadly the fries we had were not great. They tasted like they had been reheated. The flatbread was great and our server did a great job. Beer selection was great
