The Hoppy Monk

We originally set out for somewhere else but when they had a crazy long wait - headed here as it's always great and that was our experience!BUT - before I go further - HM please add a few more apps - bring back the chips and guac as sometimes you just want some chips and a beer!! That said tried another new item - the BBQ shrimp and those were fantastic! Will definitely get again! Also went for an old standby - their fish and chips and as a Brit I am definitely particular about this dish and they did it well!!Enjoyed some great IPAs, fantastic service and enjoyed the outdoor patio on the one decent day we are getting for a while!!

We came for restaurant week and really enjoyed the menu. They have a huge draft collection here, but we're more for cocktails. The hibiscus margarita was really great and refreshing. They offer a number of mocktails here too.Their restaurant week menu was a really generous 3- course meal. The first course options were a salad with bleu cheese dressing and lots of bacon or roasted vegetables in a hummus-like sauce. Both were tasty but the salad was surprisingly filling and had lots of flavor.Next course offered barbecue shrimp or gochugang wings (korean sweet/spicy flavor). These wings were some of my favorite, with a great crisp on them too.Last was the main course. I paid a bit extra for the steak with chimichurri sauce and potatoes. It was cooked a little over medium rare but still tasty. I actually preferred the flavor from the pork chop with the green mole sauce. It felt way more unique and intrigued me compared to the typical steak. Overall enjoyed the bar food from here. It's kinda like eating inside a barn, so it's chilly. And since it's also mostly a bar, it's noisy inside. There were some pretty attentive servers though so I'd be willing to come back again.Their serving of fish and chips looks massive so we'll try that next time!

The we had apps and drinks here. The fries were hands down fabulous. The Gochu IPA chicken wings smelled amazing and were good. The churro waffles were good as well. The cocktails and infused shots were better than expected and the beer menu was plentiful.

In my opinion the Hoppy Monk is a hidden gem in an otherwise industrial area. I've visited this place on a couple of occasions and have always enjoyed my meal! There are plenty of beers on tap in a variety of different styles/brands. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. And most importantly the food has always been flavourful and prompt. The brussel sprouts are a favourite of mine but be warned they're on the spicy side. This is a place worth visiting if you're in the area!

Always a good time. Good food. A million cocktails and a lot of beer. Good indoor and outdoor seating. TVs. Staff is always on top of things. Cocktails come out well. Food is 4/5 but good. Burgers and wings are great. The pineapple jalapeño shot is really good. I've been coming here for years with friends and it's a good hang out spot.

I had been wanting to come and try this place for a while. I was not disappointed with the insane amount of options they had. Good service, great vibe, I'm coming back with the boys.

I came here on a Saturday night with my parents for a quick dinner. I was blown away with how fantastic our food was! The Duchesse burger was possibly the best burger I've ever had. The bacon jam, egg and cheese burger was also wonderful. The burgers were cooked to medium perfection, were juicy and perfectly seasoned. The buttery toasted bun and fresh tomato and lettuce brought it all together! The sweet potato fries, not pictured, were covered in cinnamon sugar and perfectly crisp. In regards to the menu, it is 12 pages long. One page is brunch, which I will have to return for on another day, one page is dinner and the remainder is alcohol and specialty drinks. The service was speedy and the interior was clean and decorated beautifully for Christmas. If you are a beer lover, scotch enthusiast or foodie this is the place for you!

I love this place specifically for the drinks especially for Wednesday all day happy hour. A wide variety of drinks on tap and bottles and there's something for everyone. They have a decent selection of non-alcoholic drinks, ciders, and sweeter cocktails for those so anyone can come together. Now the food on the other hand. A bit overpriced but still good. I prefer to eat before coming here for sure, as the food is filling but you're paying for different parts of the plate (a lot of fries but only two fish strips in my case). The vibes feels homey, one will see people doing work or homework here and the staff is always so nice and accommodating.

We had a great experience here! Came when they first opened for lunch on a Saturday and they were serving the brunch menu. It had a good mix of breakfast and lunch options. The server was very personable and took the time to go through everything with us and made some suggestions which was appreciated! My husband had the chicken and waffle dish and I got a burger. By far one of the best burgers I've ever had! The patty itself was a little thin for my liking (you can't even see it in the photos!), but the flavors were incredible. My husband's dish was also very flavorful. We ordered sweet potato fries on the side and they came with a walnut aioli which at first I thought was odd, but surprisingly the flavors went together very well! The fries had some sugar and cinnamon it looked like on them, so they were more sweet than anticipated but still good. Next time I'd go for the regular fries though! They have a great cocktail and beer selection and even have a few mocktails on the menu. We'll definitely be back here soon!
