Just tried this place today and let me say I love it!!! New owners and staff. They now have a small menu , mostly snacks and liquor and the staff is awesome!!!! Everyone must try read more

I've had my ups and downs with this place. It's a fairly young bar and of course experienced some growing pains... lots of growing pains. All in all, my boyfriend and I come here regularly and for the most part, enjoy the service and selection. We often bring friends as well because it's convenient and never too crowded. I enjoy the patio and the fact that the bartenders remember me/my beer preferences. You can also sample some beers and figure out what styles you like! read more

Amazing fun energy here!! The bartender was great! Drinks hit the spot. Mix drinks were in point. I would come back.

I have been coming to this friendly bar that has great choice of draft beer and variety of food. Televises various sports and it was awesome to watch Super Bowl on the big screen with family and friends. Owned by a family, they continues to take customer input and have variety of beers, wine, shots and drink! Love to visit whenever I get a chance to relax! Highly recommend this place. read more

Impersonal 100%. It's on a know to know basis so basically if u know the the owner and the wife that are generally posted there or at the gym they own next door ur good with them! And they both only are interested in getting to know the "rich people" in the area! Very disappointed with how they were dismissive of anyone outside "their circle". I have to stay bartender Shay was awesome and a few bar flies were cool! Recommend to expand your clientele!!! Immediately!!!! read more

Great tap list and very reasonable pricing. If it wasn't so far from home, I would be here more often. Apparently they have food now, I have not ever tried that. The staff can be hit or miss. Max has been working the last couple of times that I have been in here. He does a god job, knows his beer. read more

If you want to take a trip to little Mexico this is your spot. If you request any music outside of Latin you will waste your money and have it changed. read more

So happy to find a Northside place with amazing beer selection and a great atmosphere, nice bartender and chill vibe overall. I love this place! read more

Claude’s - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is a chill little spot perfect for when you want some great Texas craft beer and a cool atmosphere. My husband and I visited on a Saturday night, and it was surprisingly (and thankfully) not packed. The tables were full, but we sat at the bar and had great service. We had a million options to choose from, and they were nice enough to include prices for the beers as well (which I always appreciate). We also ordered some classic pretzels, which were okay as a side to the beer but probably not worth getting again. We will definitely keep this in mind for future visits when we have friends in town or just want a cool place to hang out and enjoy a delicious beer. read more

We came in for the Oskar Blues Old Chubb on nitro and stayed for the Millions of Peaches (Brazos Valley), El Super Bee Saison (Four Corners). Fantastic beer selection and Max, our bartender, let us try a couple of new beers and was attentive and hard working. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some chili. Very relaxed vibe, mostly of locals. We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend Claude Hoppers to any craft beer lovers! read more

I'm going to say it. Best bar in San Antonio. It's small, quiet, clean, friendly staff, most excellent drinks, perfect place to chill and grab a beer. Try the honey Guadalupe beer, it will make you believe in God again. read more

We f you are going for beer one, this was lace is great! There are no real food choices, though. There was a Vietnamese place right around the corner that was great! read more

Great beer selection at great prices! Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. So what's not to like? The food! Food choices are minimal (not a problem for me) and the offerings range from poor to mediocre. Not to mention almost every time I've been there they have been out of a substantial number of the menu items. This speaks to a problem with the management so I don't blame it on the employees. My advice: Come here for the beer, but plan to eat either before you come or after you leave...:-( read more

I'm a beer novice... I usually prefer wine or liquor, but occasionally a cold pint just hits the spot. When I do want a beer, I always want to try something new but I never know what to order, so I usually fall back on my standbys. Well if you're like me, go to Claude Hoppers and sit at the bar when David is working. He's awesome. He has actually assisted with the opening of some local breweries and really knows his stuff. My husband and I just gave him a little info on what we like, and he gave us some samples to share, got our opinions, and went from there. I learned a lot, and had enjoyed the full glasses I ordered. The atmosphere is better than average for a growler place, and the prices are better than most. But on the Sunday night we went it was pretty dead... only 4 tables total in 2 and a half hours. They must be like that most Sundays because poor David was the only guy working! He even had to cook the food we ordered! Not to mention pour drinks, wait tables, and clean. Yet he still spent time with each customer, helping make great recommendations. That's impressive. The food was mediocre, but what do you expect when your bartender makes it? We got pizza and wings. The lemon pepper wings were way too sour (too much lemon), but the garlic parmesan wings were pretty good, and the pizza was fine. After a few drinks it would really hit the spot, but definitely don't come here for dinner like we did. As many other reviewers have said, eat before you come. Even if you fancy yourself a beer connoisseur, still ask for David. I'm sure you'll enjoy hours of beer bro talk. read more

This was a frequent stop of ours from the beginning, but it seems like it's kind of gone down a bit. We came in today in hopes of eating their tasty flatbread pizza and wings. Their menus are all ratty and old looking and the overall feel just seems rundown. My hunger dreams were shattered when they couldnt make my flat bread because they were out of cheese. So I opted for the wings like my hubby did. Then she comes back to tell me that they only have one order that can be made because the rest are frozen. By now I'm kind of annoyed because I didn't want anything else they had on the menu, and since they didn't have cheese, there were other items I couldn't order so my husband let me order the wings and he got the pork sliders. The wings are still good and my husband said the sliders were ok. Beer choices are ok but they don't seem to rotate as much as they used too, thus the reason my 5 stars went to 3 stars due to lack of food, meh beer rotation and ambiance. read more

I've gone here with my spouse and friends a couple of times and we have really enjoyed it. Lots of craft beers that are posted on a board behind the bar, and the staff is more than happy to explain the styles so that you can better select a beer. The selection is not to the level of The Flying Saucer, but in my opinion it does not have to be. They rotate through a varied brews to keep things interesting. The establishment is both inviting and friendly at the same time. I think it is the decor, which has a nice wood bar, high tables and booths that invite you to sit and relax. Also, thank god, the music or TVs are not blasting your ears off. No need to try to read lips while ordering or just speaking to your friends or spouse. It is a small space, but it is further enhanced by the outdoor space which has the feel of a beer garden, with a water feature to keep things interesting. Now, some people will complain that it is super far from other locations. Far from where? If you live in this area (north side), which I do, then it is not far from anything. Far from downtown? Yeah, but my life does not revolve around downtown anyway. When I want to go to The Pearl, South Town, etc. I plan for it and just go. I don't bother with thinking that it is too far. This place is more of a small, neighborhood bar with friendly staff, great beer, and no parking issues. Oh, and I can walk to it because it is that close. Overall, Yeah, I'm a fan!!! read more

Closed now. A series of open/closures doomed the biz. Not sure all the details. Have to find another "local" neighborhood place to visit.

Finally a really good spot for Texas craft beers with an awesome atmosphere. Can't get enough of the pecan porter or the lazy magnolia southern pecan. Love the way the bar is set up and the staff is very freindly. Happy hours for growler fills on the 32oz and 64oz. I don't know if it was a special or a certain beer you drink but the bartender gave us a 512 pint glass to take home? I tried the pork tacos which were decent. Definitely coming back here to sample some more craft beers. read more

Decided to give this place a chance with the new ownership and shouldn't have. It took 20 minutes to get out first drink and were never asked again if we needed service. We left after waiting an additional hour. Dustin cared more about socializing with his friends at the bar than trying to help anyone. There were only 6 people here and I see why. Will not be returning. read more

My boyfriend is a huge craft beer fan and this is one of the few places that have limited supplies of Deep Ellum beers. So we always come here to fill our growler when we visit his Aunt which happens to be like twice a month. read more

Knowledgable and friendly bar staff. Just had a few beers at my last visit but I'm inclined to try them again and sample some bar snacks!

I tried Claude Hoppers on a Friday night, and was surprised at how quiet the place was on a weekend. Despite the pub being less than popular it makes a great causal hangout. There's a quaint patio with a water wheel fountain and several patio tables with seat cushions. The inside is a little small but has several bar top tables and a tap bar. Thankfully the beer selection did not fall short of expectations and was great. My friends and I also ordered a few small menu options and were very pleased. Overall Claude Hoppers is a bit of a hole in the wall, causal pub that made for a great get together with friends! read more

Lexy was great! Ask for the Texas flatbread with chili and queso for dipping on the side!

This is my favorite beer bar. They have a huge beer menu and the service is always excellent.

Great place. Great staff! Great little atmosphere especially if you sit at the bar. Pineapple cider rocks! Great Pho place next door.

Ummm... This place is weird. I'm not saying it is good or bad. Just weird. We come in and there are maybe five people in the bar but these two guys are running around like crazy. Why?? Who knows. Then, one of the bartenders is impossible to understand. My boyfriend thought he asked about the beer that my boyfriend was drinking so he said honestly that he didn't think it tasted right. Well the impossibly understandable bartender just decided to comp our beer. Then the other bartender convinced us that we didn't want our beer comped. The food was super salty and just not that good. I don't know how better to describe this experience. Just so bizarre. read more

They are still in their soft opening, so they have time for improvement. Decently priced pints for $4-$6. 40 something beers on tap (Only 12 rotating, but I don't mind consistency.) The food is okay. They offer dips, snacks, flat breads, and tacos. Not terrible, but something I could have probably made myself. It may be a tad overpriced for the quality. Even though it's next to a busy street, I give my points to the atmosphere. Intimate indoor bar with T.V.'s and cute spacious outdoor patio area. It is still unknown to most, so it was nice and relaxing when we went. I would suggest giving it a shot. read more

Really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere was casual, vast amounts of craft brews to choose from and the food was tasty. Pulled pork street tacos are awesome here and the starters pretzel sticks hit the spot. Definitely coming back for more. read more

We went for dinner at a place near by and walked over to grab a drink. We weren't disappointed! They have a great craft beer selection and knowledgable and friendly bartenders! They also let you sample the beer. The inside is small but cozy, they also have an outdoor patio area. We will definitely be back to check out trivia on Tuesday nights! read more

If you're into craft beers this place is for you. Nice selection of beers on the tap to try. Good prices to get your growler filled. However, if you're into having a meal, better go there with a full stomach. read more

Never seen a place that has so much potential do so poorly and it's all because it's not managed properly. The beer selection is ok at best. When you walk in it smells like skunky beer. Most likely because the taps are not maintained. The menu is underwhelming. More than once I have tried to order something and they immediately come back and tell me they're out of something. I would suggest the ownership find someone who actually knows something about beer. Maybe go hangout at atta girls and get some ideas. read more

Returned to find that the bartenders had been updated, and they knew their stuff better than my initial experience. Also, the taps-heads themselves had been changed to allow the staff to locate the requested beer much easier. Good job. Good menu. They put my team's game on the TV when requested, too. Minor critique: Staff could be a bit warmer, enthusiastic, and faster. Keep up the good work overall, though. read more

Walked in with a friend to grab some food and beer. Waited 10 minutes and when no one as much as looked in our direction, we left. Two bartenders were at the bar and avoiding eye contact. This is the second time this has happened so we will not be returning. read more

Claude Hopper's is a great little beer joint. They have an excellent selection of craft beers from all over the United States, with a special emphasis on Texas brews. They let you try a sample of any beer before you purchase a whole glass, which is nice. The two negatives of this place would be a lack of service and a very limited food selection. The service is friendly and efficient, but they appear to be understaffed. If you go on a night when they're out of pork, you won't be able to get sliders or tacos. If you want to just relax outside and enjoy a beer, this is a great place to go. Just don't come too hungry. read more

My wife and I decided to go to Claude Hoppers based off of a Groupon that she had. We have been to a couple of other local beer gardens and we really enjoyed Claude Hoppers. We were there on a Saturday around 7pm and even though it was around their peak time, there were only a few other customers. More came trickling in as the night grew on but it was not so crowded that we felt uncomfortable. Starting off with the facility, it is nicely decorated with modern touches such as hanging lights and an open ceiling. There are nice fluorescent light words over artful beer related pictures. It was clean and inviting. The outdoor patio was very nice with the water wheel fountain and surrounding decor. We chose not to go outside due to how warn it was because the air conditioning was nice indoors. My wife ordered the pizza and I had the street tacos. Both were tasty and satisfying. They leave the seeds in the jalapeños so it adds a bit of kick to the pizza which can interfere with tasting the beers they offer. The street tacos were made well but the tortilla they used was different than I was used to. It was more of a white color but didn't taste like a flour tortilla but it wasn't an issuer for me as it tasted good. The staff was friendly and willing to answer questions about some of the beers. They appeared to be knowledgable and cared for what they did. The prices were right about what we have seen at other beer gardens like this. My wife and I had a few beers between us and they were all well taken care of meaning they were not flat or improperly stored. We were considering getting a growler as they were offering a nice price on a local brew but decided not to as we already had some beer at home that we needed to take care of. I liked the music they were playing initially as it was some older harder rock and you just don't hear that often in a business. But, I am more inclined to listen to that music where my wife likes more alternative but she didn't seem to mind. Later in the evening they started to play more alternative, crowd friendly music and that was fine too. I would say that the music could have been turned down a bit as I had to raise my voice more than I wanted to in order to hold a conversation with my wife but Im kind of a old fogey so some people may not have a problem with it. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and would like to go back again when we have time for another night out. read more

I really like this place and the great selection of beers they have. Our server was really knowledgable about the different options. Its pretty small on the outside but they have a nice patio as well. My only gripe is that I wish they had a bigger food menu but other than that, 4 stars! read more

Good beer selection. Food is meh. I follow them on twitter which i recommend because they tweet everything they change a tap.

Great place for a good beer. Craft beers posted on the board. Trivia night is especially fun (Thursdays) going tonight. E&J read more

Horrible!!! Went there last night to treat my husband for Father's Day. There was 1 patron at the bar and 1 worker behind the bar. He acknowledged us as we walked in and that was it!!! We sat there for 10 minutes and then walked out. So disappointed!!! read more
