First time here and I LOVED it! They have a great selection of beers, the specials were great too! We did the IPA and tequila shot special, not bad at all. We sat outside and the atmosphere and ambiance was great! There was a fair amount of people outside but it wasn't loud, a nice amount of people inside as well. The staff and service were beyond great! It was a great late night spot ti have a few drinks! I'd definitely go back to eat, drink a bit more and experience a game here! read more

The Hoppy Monk - El Paso - Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout - Gastropubs Near Me - El Paso, Texas

Highly recommend! Everything was delicious! My friend and I went for dinner and everything was so tasty. All their sauces are homemade and SO good. We started with the cauliflower wings and the sauce was so delicious, a little kick but not too spicy. The cauliflower was perfect, lightly fried and crisp texture. I got the chicken sandwich which was the same sauce as wings a very good. Large portion and tons of fries, the sweet potato fries were good. We also got a side of a basil aioli which we really enjoyed. Drinks were also very good with craft liquors. The margarita was fantastic! Our server was so nice and attentive. It was a great time! Only con is it is pretty dark in the inside. read more

I liked to go there afterwork for a drink and a smoke, then meet my friends and relax outside. Last time I went there was no smoking on the patio! It's a patio! I love the service, I love the food, but not being able to relax with a smoke and a drink, outside, has forced me to find another place. My friends don't smoke, but none of them has said to me that my smoking bothers them. Someone, a Karen, must have complained when she saw someone actually enjoying themselves. There's plenty room inside, and if you're outside you don't have to sit next to a smoker, just the exhaust from passing cars. Complain about that next time. read more

When I travel to El Paso for work I ALWAYS go to hoppy monk (Wednesday in particular cause it's less busy). Frankly everything has been fantastic. I think the gochujang chicken sandwich is my favorite but I've tried 3 burgers and liked them all. Really can't go wrong. The fries are always absolutely on point as well, and the aioli is a huge bonus. If you don't like Brussel sprouts, please come get them here. Your mind will be changed. And finally, they have so many local beers. As someone who likes to try something new every time, I am losing the battle against the menu. Waitresses also are very knowledgeable and can tell you about them all. Place is maybe a little dark on the inside though lol! If nice weather the patio is lovely read more

Stopped in because I saw rave reviews about the burgers, but I was way more into the sweet potato fries. The Blue Fox burger is good though. It's got sweetness from the apple and a bit of tang from the blue cheese, but man, those sweet potato fries were something else. They're crispy and tossed in seasoning, and I'm guessing that was walnut aioli with it. It's a lot of flavors but it's really addicting. read more

Great place to meet friends for a drink and app. Their best app by far is the Korean style cauliflower wings. I go there largely for that cauliflower! They also have generous happy hour deals. Fortunately the music is usually not too loud, like many places, so it's a good place if you want to actually talk to your friends. Overall it's a great place for a drink and good food. read more

The indoor atmosphere is that of a bar but outdoor is nice because of the fountains. Hazel was our server, she was nice, patient, and attentive. The beer is delicious and they have so many options to choose from. We took our kids which meant we had to be there before 7pm. Food was good. My kids loved the fish and chips and sweet potato fries. We also tried the gochuwich sandwich and chille verde burger both were okay. The gochuwich was very messy and the chille verde burger was a bit plain. We both did like the adobo quesadillas and aguachile. The aguachile was fresh and had the perfect amount of spice to it. The adobo quesadillas were too spicy for our kids, they are served with corn tortillas instead of flower but they were delicious. read more

The Hoppy Monk - El Paso - Hemingway margarita - Gastropubs Near Me - El Paso, Texas

A perfect mix of herbs and romantic blend of classic Spanish cuisine with a modern twist the ancestors would approve of! The fries need a little extra crisp and they had miss-placed the jalapeño cream, which is a salsa that has a concisely blended texture but an unforgettable assortment of flavors. Their consume is also an immensely whimsical mix of what I imagine is the Virgen de Guadalupe and Santa Muerte. Their mac and cheese is next on my bucket list! read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled into The Hoppy Monk from traveling from Austin to Arizona and right after seeking retreat from a Monsoon. We were planning on stopping in El Paso and right as we hit the city limits it began pouring! We rushed into the hotel and had to change after being drenched, as soon as the storm stopped we began looking for places. We decided to try out The Hoppy Monk as it was about 10 minutes away from the hotel (Hilton by UTEP) and still open past 8 on a Sunday. This was probably one of the best finds and whim eating decisions we have ever made while on vacation. We walked and there was a full band playing from Las Cruces, New Mexico, they were amazing and we were incredibly impressed with the ambiance of this taproom/restaurant. I ordered the green chile asadero burger and think I ate it within 2 minutes it was so good. My boyfriend got the gochu chickenwich which was also amazing. Their portions were huge and extremely flavorful. Now to the beer, if you like beer this is the place for you! They have almost 2 or 3 pages of just beer options from around Texas and New Mexico. It was great getting to try local options but also having familiar choices as well. One suggestion if the owners are listening: can we get Mother Road Tower Station from Flagstaff, AZ? This is one of the best IPAs and I feel would add another level to the place! I'll check the next time I pass through... oh and that would be the third time as we stopped again when returning to Austin. read more

Came here tired and hungry as I was passing through El Paso the night. Sat at the bar and ordered the Duchesse Burger with Sweet Potato Fries and had a couple brews. I liked the different burger options they provided and the beer, wine, and cocktail list was good and extensive. The staff was chill and the inside was nice and busy on a Saturday night. Thanks for having me! read more

Passing through El Paso at lunchtime so we Yelped for a pet friendly spot. The Hoppy Monk was a standout due to the extensive on tap menu. The patio is for people with pets right off the street but only the hum of traffic gets in. We had a generous and delicious serving of Guacamole and chips, buffalo cauliflower and Fish and chips. The French fries were great. Only downside was the portion of fish was three 5 inch sticks (less than usual). The drinks were tasty and nice. There is special menu on Sunday till 3. read more

We always like to try new places, but I am an extremely picky person when it comes to restaurant food. I can make it much better at home myself. But sometimes it's nice to have somebody else cook. We stopped here for an early dinner, It was our first time. The staff was very friendly and kind. The food came out pretty quickly. My husband really enjoyed his veggie burger. I had a sample and it was very good, but I was looking for something a little bit lighter fare. I had the tacos al Pastor veggie tacos and they may have been a bit salty for me. But I'm not sure if it was the spice or the salt that I was tasting. I don't eat much salt. Another reason why I cannot usually go out. I can also not eat oil because it really upsets my stomach. These were not oily at all, but the tortillas were a bit hard for my taste. It was nice to be able to sit outside despite the Mesa traffic something we like doing. My husband is from Europe, where you can sit outside anywhere, but here in the states, especially El Paso it's hard to find such a spot. read more

We went with a group of friends. We couldn't hear anything due to the music. We had asked the waitress to turn it down just a bit. Her response was the owner likes it loud. Beer selection was good and so was the food. We just couldn't hear anything due. read more

Just returned to the hotel after eating and having a couple of beers at this nifty place. Server Rico(?) was friendly and attentive and made us feel like one of the locals. The cauliflower wings were very good and a good way to start the meal. I had their vegan burger/sandwich and it was so big I had to eat it with a fork. I usually disassemble my sandwiches when I'm eating them, but it was important to get the salted portion of the bun mixed in with the bean patty for the full experience. They have an awesome selection of beer and Rico was super knowledgeable on what was on tap. We had a good craft beer discussion. I really enjoyed my experience here and I look forward to stopping in again the next time we're in El Paso. read more

We were just traveling through ElPaso and needed a good lace for dinner. The food here is fantastic! Husband had blue fox burger So delicious! Also whatever beer he had he loved. (Like an IPA and a hazy combination) I had the chicken sandwich with a side of broccoli which was to die for! The sandwich so excellent and the broccoli probably the best I've had anywhere. The slivered pear such a great addition. The chef needs a raise! Server was very good. Too bad we don't live here. We'd be regular customers read more

The food wasn't that good they took for ever to bring us what we ordered we call the manager and was really rude we never going back.

My previous review still remains but just wanted to update a year later. The Gonju Chicken Wings are still some of my favorite wings in town. The beers are exceptional though snobby in price. But you also can't beat their beer/shot combo for $5 if you're just wanting a beer and a shot of tequila. Can't recommend the atmosphere and the food at this place enough. read more

One of our favorites in EP. The food is always fresh and incredibly flavorful - we have tried nearly the whole menu and have yet to be disappointed. We love to sit out on the patio with our kids - very welcoming space, nice cover from the sun. Service is always fast and friendly, have never had a bad experience. I can't say I've ever seen a high chair there so unsure if they have them, as an FYI for those with small kids. The drinks from the bar are always strong and well mixed, my husband has no complains from the beer side of things. Great place to have a meet up with friends! read more

I love the Hoppy Monk. I like sitting at the bar and the staff is great with recommendations on their selection of many beers on tap. They have great burgers a Monk Salad that is a must & beer braised rabbit tacos that are delicious It is dangerous because it is only a mile from my place, and that is a good thing read more

One of my favorite bar/restaurants in El Paso. My husband and I went on a Sunday and sat by the bar. The staff was kind enough to switch the channel of the tv to show a football game after we asked. The wings, burgers, and fries were delicious and brought out in a timely manner. I love that you can add an egg to the burgers. Additionally, the shot/beer special is well-worth it and affordable. Look forward to returning soon! read more

The beer selection is second to none the food is great and pairs nicely with the drink selection the ambiance is ok but doesn't fit the amazing beer and alcohol selection it reminds me of an old dive bar read more

Came here after a pool day down the street. The ambiance is very dark, almost like they're trying to hide cleanliness or save electricity lol. The server was not helpful at all, made us a very over-sweetened strawberry margarita. The menu is all over the place, very odd choices, and it took us awhile to identify what we would like. Lastly, they don't accept cash. Absolutely ridiculous. Overall, a very pretentious place, not very welcoming at all. read more

The beers are always great But let me tell you about the Gochu Chickenwich. This chicken sandwich brings the absolute comfort into your day. Would strongly recommend after having a brutal day at the office or simply a day out with your partner. This sandwich just fills your heart.

Relaxing atmosphere. Definitely a beer place. They do have elevated drinks, but nothing to write home abt. They're good, but if you're a beer person, you'll really love this place. Wide selection of draft beer. However, We're more cocktail people. I guess the Rain in Rio was my fave, but it was not photographed. We didn't eat and we didn't have beer, so this review is purely based on cocktails and service. Service was great. We were never in need of anything. read more

Such a cute establishment! It was my coworker and friend's birthday, and he mentioned he liked the food here. I looked at the menu and was sold! We came by after work and were able to pick our seats. We started out inside and then made our way to the patio with our beverages. I had the shrimp poboy and the marscarpone cheesecake - both were extremely satisfying. The people who work here are all friendly and service is great! read more

A great local spot! The menu is small which allows the chef to rock the food quality! The burgers are excellent and the fried mushrooms are incredible, even for me who doesn't really eat mushrooms all that often. They have a great selection of beers, my only complaint is they are not always the coldest. They need to up their temperature game. Great outdoor seating when the weather is right. Just a great spot for a couple's dinner or a gathering. read more

I put this on my bucket list. 2200 miles away. Had to go around the block many times to find a place to park the RV. I'm so glad I persisted. one of the highlights of my 5-year trip. The service was most excellent. Raven, Kristy , Charles.. so professional, great suggestions but took time to be friendly and share local stories with me. The range of beer and the knowledge Raven had of all of her products was nothing short of amazing. I'm so glad that I went with her suggestions of what to try . I'm 75 years old, however the ambiance was perfect. Mostly 30-year-olds but perfect music not too loud. I'm pretty sure I was the oldest person in there but I didn't feel it. I cannot recommend this enough. if you're ever in the El Paso area. It is worth a special trip for the food, the people, and of course the beer read more

Blue Fox burger is a MUST try! The drinks are also pretty good but if you get there during dinner vs earlier, you'll risk not having a specific drink since it's a popular spot on the west. Waitress/waiters are always extremely nice and pups are allowed in outdoor seating. read more

What a wonderful accidental find! We had a couple hours to spend before a show and happened in here. Beer selection to make your head spin. Local beers, Belgian beers, craft beers, specials you can't find anywhere else. Full bar with amazing bourbon and Scotch selections. We had planned on dinner after the show, so opted for munchies. The BEST fried mushrooms I had eaten in ages. Huge, delicious and a lovely compliment of sauces. The brussel sprouts were also better than most I have had a nice restaurants lately. Go here. Enjoy a flight. Make friends. Eat well. read more

GO That's an amazing burger! We've been back twice just for it, and you can't beat the flavor. We usually order the DUCHESSE BURGER: Akaushi TX beef, sour ale onion jam, aged cheddar, organic tomato, arugula, and aïoli. The jams really elevate the burger, but it's the beef that I crave--it's here in all its glory! It reminds me of an In-N-Out patty, just a bit bigger. That said, all the burgers are packed with flavor, and the beef shines through. Let's go, guys! Most of the other burgers feature aïoli, fresh greens, and more delicious toppings. GO, eat, and be happy! The end. read more
