The Hop Stop

Such a fun brunch spot! You order at the bar inside (great bartenders/servers)! We tried the canned mimosas but preferred ours the traditional way. The outside sitting area was fun for the kids to play while we waited for our food. Large tables and space in between them so it was easy to get around. Water stations were so nice and convenient! The fountain soda area was also out side and accessible, kids loved getting their own drinks! We will be back!

Since I had to go to this place for an event, I couldn't help but take my dog to this pup friendly establishment! Love the outdoor patio, milk bone treats, and water bowl for your dog! Staff is super friendly and I like that this place is in Old Town Poway. Fave Item:Ube Beer! I've not seen this in many places, and I completely love the taste of Ube in Draft form! It's not mentioned anywhere in Yelp, and I'm surprised! Tips:Happy Hour M-Th 4-6PMTrivia Night every Monday! They also serve breakfast.

Tucked away in the heart of old town Poway, we stumbled upon this hidden gem, The Hop Stop, after a show. Arriving around 7 on a rainy Saturday night, we found shelter in the well-organized space, opting for a cozy spot at the bar since the outdoor seating was drenched. Despite the potential parking issues (which we barely noticed in our rush to get inside), the ambiance was very nice once we settled in.Two friendly bartenders, maybe owners, took the time to guide us through beer choices and menu options despite the busy crowd. While a slight delay was expected given the bar's busyness, our food arrived promptly, and the drinks flowed smoothly.Speaking of drinks, we opted for The Hop Stop blonde, a delightful collaboration with Karl Strauss, and the Chai Me a River, bursting with chai goodness. Both were light and refreshing.Our shared Cheesesteak with sweet waffle fries hit the spot. While the cheesesteak didn't break any culinary boundaries, it delivered a satisfying mix of meat, veggies, and gooey cheese--nothing flashy, but certainly not disappointing.In the end, The Hop Stop proved to be a charming spot for drinks and bites. Despite the average cheesesteak, the overall experience was a positive one, leaving us with the desire to return for another round. If you're up for a cool spot in old town Poway, give this place a shot - rain or shine!

Loved this place! We will definitely be back, the staff were great, the seating was both indoors and outdoors. The food and beer selection on the Fourth of July fit the needs of our group. There are TVs to watch sports. They had the padres game on and it was right across the street from the park. Looking forward to coming back! Dogs are welcome!

Had our Christmas photo shoot across the street and decided to walk over to this place for a quick dinner. I walked inside and didn't see anybody behind the bar counter so I walked to the back and sat down at a table and ordered a 'Merica burger with fruit that came out super quick and was pretty tasty The outside seating and vibes are great... wish they had some board games or something though since they definitely have room for it and would've been nice and entertaining for my kid since he chose to not eat But this is a pretty cool place where you can get a drink and watch a game inside or enjoy a nice meal outside... I'd definitely say this place is worth a shot

Such a cute little spot in Poway that offers plenty of outdoor seating.Great food and beverage options (beer and wine). Wonderful service inside. You do have to go inside to order additional drinks and food. Looking forward to returning here in the near future! PROS:* plenty of parking* great service* dog and kid friendly* delicious food* reasonable prices* amazing fried pickles* huge outdoor patio with plenty of seating* shaded outdoor seating* clean bathrooms (and quite a few stalls in the ladies room)CONS:* not a big deal, but you do have to go inside and place your order. They do not have servers attending to each table.

The food are disgusting , I order a pork belly dish and I surprise that they don't even cooked good still has a pink on it and no taste whatsoever:( I would say it's like a dog food from the can's . And my husband burger no taste they just put ketchup all over to look is good , apparently it is not :( and the chicken lemon pepper wings ewww still smells like fish from the ocean and cold inside of it . Really really disgusting. I wouldn't recommend this place . I am a chef 1 and I know what is good taste and not . Wasting money for no reason .

Cute! Fun menu, friendly people. Best of all delicious food!! A lot of flies when eating out back. The only thing I didn't like. I had the July burger, YUMMM! Cooked perfect and the fries are really good! You do food well! Fun find!

We held my husbands Birthday/Retirement Party here with over 35 people. Everything was perfect! The food came out smoothly and hot to the correct tables and guests and was Delicious. Atmosphere was AWESOME and JP was the BEST! He is very helpful, attentive, friendly, patient, and thoughtful. He made the night PERFECT! The bussboys where quick to clear the tables as everyone was chatting!I highly reccomend dinner and parties here. Very relaxed and comfortable!
