This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. The waitstaff was so kind and attentive!! Our waiter was excellent at recommendations for first timers at this restaurant. The food was amazing, I will be back again and recommending to others! I love to support local.

Was visiting from out of state and this place went all out. They stayed later to feed my friends and the bartender made these awesome mules and French martinis. I was going to stop in again before I left but I wasn’t able to. But I will be back in Sept! 10/10 love this place.

Hops & Rye provided outstanding service and tasty food for our large group (21 people!). They were accommodating, timely, and professional in all correspondence leading up to the luncheon, and the waitstaff was pleasant and polished. Great variety of menu options. Neat venue. Good people. We definitely recommend checking them out!

Hipsters with man buns and servers with no knowledge of rye. I asked the bartender for a couple of recommendations of which rye to try and the guy was clueless. The waitstaff have a too cool for you attitude and the place was trying to portray a speakeasy vibe and it just felt like it was trying too hard to be trendy. A definite place to avoid in Dubuque IA.

We went here on a recommendation and we're so pleased to find exceptional food and staff! The stroganoff was fabulous as was the bartender who was absolutely amazing!!! Had such a great conversation with Fiona, she really made our day. The owner also was so nice. We definitely recommend this place and will be "our place" every time we visit. Craig & Margaret Short

Good food, good drinks & the service was great! I believe the bartender was Fiona & our waiter was Will. The peach ring martini was amazing! ?

Yum! We usually go at night for Covid take out but ran in for Covid lunch take out today…absolute best tuna melt ever!! We haven’t tasted anything we didn’t love yet. Our daughter swears by the veggie burger but it is always a tough choice over their spaghetti squash. Definitely part of the best restaurants in Dubuque bracket.

Good food, great old fashioneds, and exceptional waitresses and owners. The hosts here do a great job of making sure you have an enjoyable evening. If you're in Dubuque for an evening, I would recommend stopping by.

Came here in late summer of 2019 with my sister and my cousins (girls trip). It was a blast. The food was delicious & just want I needed. If I lived closer I'd love to come back and try more of the menu items & drinks. Thanks for a great meal
It's A cold January Tuesday night just after the new year, and I decided to try this place with my wife and three of my four children. There's hardly anyone here, but the food and drinks were outstanding. Come on Dubuque let's support this business!

We chose this place based on the menu. We were looking for something new for date night. The crab stuffed mushrooms were amazing! At first we were not impressed by the $15 tag on 3 mushrooms, but the taste and texture made it worth it!

We had been out on a walk and decided to stop in and see if they offered a dessert. The server said they did so we took a seat. That was the best part of our experience. The server was less than attentive and too familiar with everyone. She kept referring to people as "guys". "Hi guys." "What can I get you guys." My husband asked if he could get coffee to go with the dessert and she said she would be right back. Almost 10 minutes later she came back and told us it would be 20 minutes for them to make coffee and did we still want it. We ordered the chocolate mousse dessert that came with "whipped topping" and a raspberryerry sauce. I asked about the whipped topping and she said it was made fresh in house. When we got the dessert it would have been perfect for Halloween. The raspberry sauce was splattered all over the place like blood. The whipped topping was so sickeningly sweet that you couldn't even taste the chocolate of the actual dessert. While we were eating it she came by and dropped our check without saying anything. She then came back 2 minutes later and picked it up and looked inside and saw there was no card in it and said "oh, whenever you're ready". So no coffee, terrible service, and the actual cake was the only enjoyable thing. Please note there were only two people at the bar, one table that was already there before we were, and one table that came in approximately 15 minutes after we did. I've been in the service industry since I was 12 years old working for my mother and this was horrible. We won't go back to try food or cocktails.
