The Hop Stop in Poway

Great food choices and great beer selection. No liquor from what I saw. The staff was very friendly and the heating lamps were perfect for that temperature change

Just an outstanding gem of a low-key, comfortable, friendly, clean place to enjoy a beer, time with your family, live music (outside), an actual bar you could stand up next to (inside), in a dog friendly, comfortable setting!The bartenders are great, the kitchen know what the heck theyre doing, the menu is extensive and Ive attached it here. The staff are friendly and attentive, the bathrooms are kept clean, the tables are fantastic and theyve got different seating areas for different types of enjoyment.These folks know what theyre doing and they have created a fantastic place to retreat for an afternoon or evening.

Excellent food. Highly recommend. Prices are reasonable. Fun hipster environment.Just a heads up though, this is not a sit-down restaurant where they come and take your order. Instead you scan the menu, then go and turn your order in at the bar, and refill your own drinks. They bring you your food, but thats where the service ends. So I would compare it to you like a Rubios or a basic fast food place in that respect. The major difference is the food is way tastier and much higher quality at hop stop. We will be back.

Great beer pub located in Old Town Poway. Excellent variety of brews available and right next to a bus stop so no drinking and driving.Food selection at the bar plus options close by.Definitely a spot to check out. 5 stars!

We ordered Brats and Hop Stop Burger they were great choices.I don’t recommend ordering Tater Tots, it doesn’t worth the calories.Beers are a must here. The staff is polite and helpful, we got seated right away on Sunday at noon. I would recommend making a reservation if you are a big group. The vibe was cool. it has a playgroup and a nice outdoor sitting area which everyone in the family can enjoy. the chairs, shades, and of course beers make it comfortable to spend time outside with your people for a long time.

At Hop Stop, the environment is great. Unique seating options remind me of a picnic area (in a good way). Mostly outdoors. I have had no issues with the service. The hosts are very polite.However, I am not a huge fan of the food. The food often takes too long to come out. When ordering in groups as small as 4, meals do not come out all at once; rather, they come out over a period of around 15 minutes. I recommend their nachos, since those are good. I do not recommend the chimichanga dog (not sure if they still have it), and I found it to be bland and overcooked.Despite not being too impressed with the food, I will always support my local businesses. The owners are standup citizens and give back to the community.

We come here quite often. I like the outdoor area where kids can play. They also have an area for dogs to drink water. Their food and drinks are decent. I really like their chicken salad burrito and tater tots. We ordered something different this time and they were pretty good as well. Their food and service are consistent every time we go. We’ll be back soon.

Good food, good selection of beer, easy parking. They have a small indoor area but most of the seating is outside. We sat at one of those picnic benches and placed our order at the bar.I got the poutine and it was bomb!!!

The Hop Stop is such a fun spot! We go here all the time and bonus points for being dog friendly!!! We go for the cider but they have tons of fun beer and other options. Our fav food here is the Cali black bean burger with a side of sweet potato fries but our guilty pleasure is their tater tots. They’re so good! Don’t forget to order with a side of Hop Stop sauce!! We’ve gone to trivia on Mondays a few times which was a blast. Really great family-friendly, trendy local joint.

We came here for my birthday and really enjoyed it! Great atmosphere with the string lights out back and the baseball game on the screens, really friendly staff and service, great selection of beers and ciders, and delicious food. We tried two Turquoise ciders, Blueberry and Pomegranate, both great. For food we had burgers with fries, sweet potato fries, and the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese wasn’t as cheesy as I would have hoped for, but still good nonetheless. Everything else was outstanding. Definitely a great local spot for Old Town Poway, and fills in a gap since there’s really no place around like it. Looking forward to coming back!! Thanks Hop Stop!
