Lunch at Hops is always a delight. Friendly service, local vibe, scratch kitchen and great food. My hubby had the italian sausage, peppers & onions sandwich. His quote: "The best sandwich in town". I had the pastrami which was good, but my previous experience with the pastrami sandwich had a lot more meat. The french fries are fresh cut and terrific. The dining room is always kept clean. A local bar & grill hangout that's usually busy but taken care of well. Another great dining pleasure. Jaclyn, our server, always treats us like old friends. read more

I'm giving it two stars because the person helped us finally and waited on us was very nice. But the drinks were pretty much watered down or horrible and the food did not appeal to us. The lighting is so bright it feels like you're in the cafeteria and they were slow to seat us. Do yourself a favor and do not get the margarita martini. It was disgusting. read more

Neighborhood type of establishment. The bar was filled, however lots of room at the tables. Service was fast and the meals were brought out quickly. I had the green chili cheeseburger with bacon and fries. Also had a salad which was very good. Cheeseburger was good, however the fries were very greasy. . Definitely home style cooking. Expect to pay at least $20 per person. Our bill was $63 for three. We all had burgers and a soda. read more

Hops Sports Grill - My Go-To Spot! Hops Sports Grill is hands-down my favorite local bar. The servers are always incredibly attentive, kind, and welcoming -- they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The beer selection is huge, with something for every taste, and there's always a game on somewhere, so it's perfect for catching your favorite teams. But the real standout? The food. The menu is loaded with options, and everything I've tried has been excellent. If you go, don't skip the whiskey sauce -- it's legendary. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink, watching a game, or meeting friends for dinner, Hops delivers every time. A true neighborhood gem! read more

Pretty chill neighborhood bar and grill. Really cool that the drinks are super affordable and also refreshing on a hot summer day. Especially like the sea breeze--an oldie but goodie type of drink for sure. The wings are great too and I like the outdoor seating. Still miss the old Italian restaurant here but Hops doesn't disappoint Especially with quick service and casual dining and drinks. read more

This little gem has indoor and outdoor seating. It is a little diner with awesome food and service. The two times that we have eaten here the food was delicious. They have a full service bar and specialty cocktails too! People love this place for the food, service and it looks like many regulars that enjoy conversation! There are no booths- just tables and metal chairs. Still love this place! read more

This is one my favorite spots on the east side of Tucson. It's in a shopping center, so at times it may seem a little difficult to spot, but hey, this is Tucson, lots of things are in shopping centers. We went on Monday night, which meant Monday Night Football was on all the screens, which is why we went here. The screens are well laid out. You won't miss the game. The server was super friendly. She had to clean up a mess at another table left by a departed group that apparently had a lot of mud on their shoes; she apologized six or seven times for taking a few extra minutes to clean up the mess before coming over to the table. (It wasn't an issue for us at all but we appreciate the gesture). The server was super friendly and efficient. There's a great beer list. The menu is fairly extensive and has something for everyone. Their burgers and chicken sandwiches are huge. The beer battered fries are awesome. And the vibe of the place is just super friendly. Big fan. I always look forward to going back. read more

Hops Sports Grill - Whiskey barbecue chicken sandwich with beer battered fries and a side of ranch - Sports Bars Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We had a really good lunch at Hops Sports Grill! We liked the location and inside area with the lively bar and the huge televisions. It is definitely a sports lover's paradise if you want to catch a game. The menu is really extensive so there is something for everyone. For as cheap as it is, you also get a ton of food. We got the BLT and the grilled cheese. Both came with a mountain of fries on the side. The BLT was stacked super high with bacon and we were surprised to see so much for an item that wasn't that pricey. The grilled cheese was awesome and the bread they used was made to perfection. It was a really good grilled cheese. The service was also very nice and kept our drinks filled. If I'm back in Tucson I would come back! read more

Waited an hour before we were informed that the grill is behind and it was gonna take a while before our food was ready! Glad to see restaurants are staying busy, but would've been nice to know that before we sat down read more

Decided to try something new tonight, Hops bar and grill did not disappoint. Cool atmosphere, you can sit outside or inside and catch a good game. The food here is really good read more

This bar/grill was surprisingly not very busy when we arrived for lunch. It got some busier, but was never packed. We were seated at a large table in the side area and it worked well for our group. Our server was friendly and gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu. I got the grilled fish meal. It came with a side salad, zucchini/corn, and a nice sized piece of white fish. It was all good, although the fish was overcooked and a bit tough. Portions for everyone were generous. If you pay in cash, you get a discount. I chose to do that and gave her some cash. When she returned my change, there were no coins. When I asked about that, she said they don't have coins on them. It wasn't a big deal, but it completely negated the discount for paying cash. To me, that doesn't make sense. If you're offering a discount for paying in cash then you need to give people the complete change they are due. read more

I tried some new things and was not disappointed. If you come here, you MUST try the mac n cheese balls!!! Just the right amount of spice. So freaking guys. The cheesecrisp was on point, as was the bacon cheeseburger! We sat on the patio, which is OK to bring your dogs. They do have heaters. The wait staff was fabulous. Very laid back atmosphere. We will be coming back here!!! read more

Great food & service! Great draft beer selection, scratch kitchen. Lots of TVs, outdoor seating.

Staff was very friendly and the food was served in a timely matter. The taste of the food was great!! Their fries are amazing!

Great neighborhood vide (local), the drink choices and food matched the friendliness. A bit older crowd that matched us, we've been there a couple times and it's always busy, a sign that they know what they're doing. It was MLB and NHL playoff time and the screens were all tuned to the most relevant games. It's our new local place! read more

Went there for the first time for lunch with friends. Service was spot on, food was excellent, beers were cold and we stayed for 3 hours. We will be back. Great job Hops! read more

It's been a while since we've been in so we decided to go. Sat at bar. Chris is nice. Drinks were good. Patrons are all friendly, very comfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately food was not good. The last few times seems everything if over cooked. Reason why we hadn't been going. I had chicken scampi. It came out burnt. Garlic butter burnt. Spaghetti hard n burnt. Hubby had the GOAT it came out burnt. No cheese. Fries over cooked. We don't complain and we don't send back food. We both had 3 bites each and couldn't eat it. So, I thought we will just take home and maybe I can fix or something. Took food home and looking at it again and there's nothing good about it. Expensive meal for not eating. 2 entrées, 2 well rum coke, 2 jack n coke. $$77.76. read more

Great service, beer, selection, and atmosphere. Loved it so much we make a point of going back.

After a great hike through Saguaro National Park, my family and I found Hops Sports Grill close by and was encouraged by the other Yelp reviews. We found a nice table for 4 and was greeted by Braigen who was our server and did an excellent job. Lots of nice craft beers on draft. I had an Elysian Space Dust while others had the Bells 2 Hearted Ale and Firestone 805. For food, we went with the Sampler Platter which had at least 4 of everything so we could all get a sample. It had Buffalo Wings, Onion Rings, Fried Zucchini, Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers, and Stuffed Potato Skins. That should have been enough, but we also went for the Whiskey Boneless Wings and the Buffalo Wings. We must have been there during happy hour because our bill had discounts on all items between $1.00 and $2.00 each. They do charge a 4% credit card fee. Either way, it was a great deal and worth it. We also met some local folks who engaged in some fun conversation. read more

03/20/2023: Met up with Kristen n Angela in the bar section for a quick bite to eat during happy hour. Ordered up two servings of the bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers stuffed with cream cheese and more spices. Hot out the oven, I had to allow them to cool door. Finally got to taste them, Wow, these are really good, glad I ordered another. In addition, the women ordered the loaded potato skins. Yum, more bacon deliciousness. Met the bartender Squirty! She's a hoot. Squirty introduced us to the miniture beers, well the look just like frothy beer, however there tasted really good, the dangerously good kind of good. You'll know what I mean once you try it. We sat at the bar, and met people all around. Really awesome atmosphere. There is a large patio section outside to the south with lots of televisions. Great to watch sports. Thanks Squirty for the fun evening. read more

Best neighborhood bar in Tucson. Great food. Great staff. Never had a bad experience.

I was looking for a local bar to watch a game as I'm from out of town, and came across this one. So I decided to check it out. It's a nice bar where you can tell (well i did) at the TV when the referees don't know what they're talking about. The staff was great and checked on us regularly keeping our drinks never empty. The food was perfect for the experience. Had great appetizers and a really great burger. And I heard the tacos were good too! I wish I would have taken more pictures but I was enjoying the experience. read more

Good choices of food and good choices of drinks for the most part. The service was decent. The place it's self is a little small and chilly. I wanted to bring in another jacket so I wouldn't be so cold but didn't have it. I ate my leftovers because it was that good, which I normally dislike leftovers. So that's a big win. Would go back with a pillow and a blanket and maybe my parka. read more
