Hop Scholar Ale House

The food is great! Love the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. We always have great service.

Just a chill place to hang and converse with friends... they have a great pineapple cider on tap.

Great beer.Great bartenders.Great food.Great bingo.Will definitely be back, atmosphere is super cool. They usually have some sort of games or comedy. Lots of fun and great staff as well.

So happy we stumbled upon this joint. Don't be fooled by its strip mall location. This place offers a super cozy atmosphere with friendly service and an amazing menu of craft beers, cocktails, and seriously tummy bites.Today was our 2nd visit and happily brought friends to share the experience.Will be back for sure!1st visit: Hop Burger was very juicy and flavorful. And HUGE. Side of tater tots and honey siracha Brussel sprouts. Pineapple & Mango Mimosa Austin East Ciders 2nd: spicy garlic parmesean @ honey Sriracha boneless wings, cheese curds, and pretzel bites with queso.

(For Sabbatical) I came for a drink. I found an experience. I left elevated, and with a new favorite drink. Bartender's suggestion. (Penicillin) great atmosphere. Above and beyond service. Let the drink refresh your soul. Let this bartender be your guide. (Please get some Creme de Menthe, I want to try your grasshopper)

This is my favorite beer bar for the ambience, impressive draft selection, friendly bartenders and cocktails for my wife on the same tab from Sabbatical connected next door. I miss their old kitchen though. They now host Dragon Bowl C, and it doesn't hit for me. I tried a few things over two visits. I thought maybe it's just me, but my wife didn't like it and our friends we go here with often didn't like it either so now I'm sad because we'll probably be going somewhere else with less beers but better food.

Unfriendly staff who are only interested in the regulars. It's an odd vibe where some things seem snobby and other things are what you would expect in a dive bar (the menu has some pretty fancy gastropub type items, but if you want a glass of water you get it yourself out of a dirty orange plastic cooler). We had trouble even getting anyone's attention at the ordering area and the bartender acted like we were a nuisance. Seemed to have plenty of time to talk to people he knew at the tables though. It's too bad because they did seem to have a decent beer selection, but no one in our party was interested in returning.

I'm new to Houston, and found Hop Scholar Ale House on Yelp after searching "beer and food" in my zip code. I may have simple tastes, but this was exactly what I was looking for. I was happy to see the Dog Fish Head 60 Minute and Bell's Oberon, two of my favorite beers on draft. And the Gyro Pita did not disappoint, as it included sun dried tomatoes and char grilled lamb that felt unique, yet familiar to a classic menu optionI judge a bar and grill by not only the food and drink but also the relationship the staff has with their regulars, and it's clear that the locals love to come by and gab with the staff for good reason. The overall atmosphere was welcoming, and I look forward to my next visit!

We love this place. Tons of beers to choose from or you can go round the back to the speakeasy and have a cocktail. I think their cocktails are the absolute BEST!! Bartenders suggest drinks based on what you like. Their Mexican firing squad is a must try!! We had some of their appetizers And they are good as well.

Not overly friendly. Seems to cater to their regular crowd, and not too welcoming to "outsiders ". Good beer selection, didn't try the food as we left after one beer.
