Hopewell Bar & Kitchen

The waiter kicked us out mid drink and conversation to make way for another party when there were other tables available.

We weren’t asked if we were getting drinks or dinner and were told to sit wherever there was space. Additionally, there were other tables that were clearly open, no idea how it could have been seen as necessary for us to be moved. Seems like the owner cares and I appreciate the explanation for this policy, but overall won’t be back — the experience made us feel singled out.

How can one articulate an experience that rivals food poisoning, being cheated on by a significant other and wearing wet socks for the rest of your life. I can, and that experience would be here. Not only were my group and I kicked out unwarranted and with uncouth but also they cannot pour a decent Guinness to save their lives. While I am a very positive and objective person, I feel called to leave this review as a warning to others. Truly a horrible, deplorable, asinine, sad, place. As an avid restauranteur I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.Please beware! If stronger language were acceptable I would use that as well..

We ordered the skillet cookie at Hopewell Bar & Grill, and it was a huge letdown. The portion was significantly smaller than the photos online, and the ice cream scoop was so tiny it could barely be called a scoop. To make matters worse, the strawberries on the side clearly had been cut near or with the same knife as onions, which made them taste absolutely disgusting. It completely ruined what should have been a simple, enjoyable dessert. Definitely not worth it

Asked the bartender for the beer menu, and was provided with the barcode, which had a nice selection. I picked a tall can of Narragansett that was listed for $6.50 - bartender claimed it was $9.07 with "taxes and fees" - sorry, when did MA get an 39% tax on alcohol? BLATANT FALSE ADVERTISING! I can't tell if the establishment is openly scamming people or if the bartender is ripping people off and pocketing the money.

Quick, friendly service. Boneless & bone in chicken to die for! Prices reasonable. Shared some apps with friends and enjoyed vibe. Would go here again!

Love Hopewell, my fiancé and I come here once a month, maybe even more than that. The food and drinks are excellent — if slightly more focus on cocktails than beers, fwiw. A little pricy (what isn’t nowadays) BUT they have a nice weekly (Thursday?) chicken sandwich special if you’re cost-conscious. Only detracting mark: beware the appetizers that use the cute little cast irons, I have a hunch (I.e., 2x time food poisoning last fall) that someone might accidentally be using grandma’s classic “wipe down” method instead of typical restaurant grade sanitization on their CI😅 But otherwise this place slaps so still 5-starred🤷‍♀️

I wasn’t expecting much from the neighborhood bar, but the food was surprisingly good.

Great atmosphere and excellent service. It has a friendly neighborhood feel. The menu is not huge but everything they have is very interesting. So far, I have never had a bad meal there so far. It's highly accessible by MBTA green line and bus lines. Parking is meter based and isn't too bad but not the best. I plan on going back on an ongoing basis.

Great spot, bar tenders were awesome. Tons of games and things to do while at a bar. They should all be this fun.
