Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Hops & Scotch offers a "spectacular ambience" and a vast selection of beverages, including an extensive whiskey and bourbon list. Ideal for group gatherings, the tree-shaded patio is much praised. While service is generally "very friendly and thorough," some mention needing improvement during peak times. Food is enjoyable yet could benefit from more variety.

    I took a large (two tables of about 15 people each) group of business associates out for happy hour after a day-long meeting. We were sat outside and the outdoor area was very nice and relaxed! Lauren was our server and handled all the ordering and was very attentive! The whole team was great and our food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The Blantons and Apricot Old Fashioneds were delicious drink choices and the hummus and flat breads were tasty! Great job and thank you for wonderful service!

    We've had better gatherings here. I'm not sure if they were understaffed for the evening, but service was extremely sparse. We had to go to the bar to ask where our food was, to order another round of drinks, and to get our bill (which had an extra charge on it that had to be corrected). I'm hoping this was just an off night. The smaller tables / couples seemed to have better service. Food was ok, it's been better, nothing complicated in our order but it took over 30 minutes to arrive (pretzels, hummus plate and chicken wings). Cocktail wad good (90210) and we had bottles of wine, so relatively easy order. Again, maybe an off night.

    My wife's tacos were average. My Ruben sandwich was very good. Cocktails were a bit expensive.

    This was our second time here. We had such a lovely time the first time (2 years ago) that we returned. We had terrible experience this time and will not be back. The service was awful. They had us follow them to the table and proceeded to clean the table in front of us. Unfortunately for the server she was the only one taking care of about 30 different people on the patio. She might have been better had she had the necessary support needed. We arrived at 7:45 and did not get our appetizers until 8:50pm. Then it was not good. No flavor on the burrata so we asked for salt and pepper, it was never brought. Finally my boyfriend got up to get it and the server would not get it for him. She then came to the table a few minutes later with it. The quesadilla was also not good and we couldn't even eat most of it.

    I hosted a group of about 30 people after work and they were very accommodating, allowing us to reserve about half of the tree-shaded outdoor patio. Ordered sharable food: flatbreads, quesadillas, and pretzels, which were perfect for the group. Their enormous selection of beers and very well-made cocktails provided everyone with what they wanted. For me, the delicious sangria hit the spot on a very warm afternoon. Very friendly and thorough service by all of the staff. I've also been here with smaller groups and we've never been disappointed.

    We met a group of friends at this spot. It was a great atmosphere. And we could not believe the book of drink menu items. As a person who enjoys some good nosh with my cocktail to graze on, I hoped for a few more items on the small bites menu. Otherwise, I can't say anything bad about it. We will be back!

    Server was excellent, but she needed more help. Margarita flatbread was disappointing. Such a great spot, but the food choices could really use improvement.
