Hop River Brewing Company

"Easy to find just north of downtown. Solid amount of parking to be had with plenty of signage. Friendly people greeted me as soon as I walked in to this huge space. Multitudes of tables and a very long - easily 50' - bar that overlooks the brewing area and the 20 taps of in-house beer. Lots of board games to help you pace your imbibing and food is available, as well. The beer is very good, among the best in the area. Music is too loud, intrudes on conversation."

"It was my first date with a lady. There were maybe another 10 people max. So it wasn't even crowded. I've ordered the food. They have pretty limited food. After 45 minutes of waiting, I had to go and ask about the food. And another 5 minute later the guy came to our table and said he forgot to order the food. Man, you have only 2 tasks, when you get a drink order you serve it, when you get a food order you forward it to the kitchen. Very simple. Well, not for everyone it seems."

"Had a party of about 12 on Friday night. Everyone had a great time. The food was really good as were the adult beverages. Casual atmosphere makes it easy to mingle and socialize. Parking is ample, but a bit rough especially if mobility impaired."

"Cool local brewery with a good selection of beer and food options. The location is in an old building outside of downtown with a pretty cool vibe. Lots of outdoor seating and a good amount of indoor seating as well. We tried a hazy IPA and a sour beer and liked both. For food we got the pretzel and chili tater tots. Both were about average for brewery food. Bonus points given because they are family friendly and have a dedicated kids menu. Always appreciated for us beer loving parents!"

"Overall a fairly good experience. I would go back for sure, but not my top choice. My favorite part was the wine slushy, everything else was pretty mediocre. Went about two hours until closing so I’m sure staff were ready to go home, but they were very quiet, unwelcoming, and cold. I had also asked for tater tots with my meal instead of chips but it was brought out to me wrong. I decided not to ask for them to remake it since it was so close to closing, but that was very disappointing. Atmosphere was good and my group enjoyed the games, although they are semi-outdated, incomplete, some pretty unsanitary, and the selection wasn’t too large. Like I said, would go back but not a favorite of mine."
