This sounds cliché, but I wish I found this place earlier!The vibe is good and white tablecloths is a big plus. Everyone is super friendly!The food and beers are killing and I’m willing to do 50 notorious burpees for their steak tips. What’s more, the serving is in light speed, faster than heating frozen foods by microwave.
As a frequenter of Coolidge Corner, can’t believe we didn’t know about this place until yesterday, but now we’ve found a favorite American restaurant/bar in this intersection. Their low key storefront is easy to be overlooked, but should you have the mood to try them out on Friday night, you’d be instantly hooked by their vibe, service, drinks and food.Too many highlights but in a few bullets:- tapas actually in good serving size- their fruit punch beer is so delicious- white table cloth in a relaxing setting!- attentive and thoughtful servers- bar, high tops, table—options for different groups- their food quality is top notch.- Steak tips with mashed potato—LOVE.- mussels with jalapeño—LOVE.- all veggie dishes are cooked to perfection too. See my photos.So glad we found this restaurant that I want to write about it and share it with the community on a Saturday morning during my brunch. Okay, now I gotta eat or my food will get cold.
Nice bar with good craft cocktails. Had the creme Brule espresso martini. Was very good.

Went here for breakfast. The waffle was so good and there was a lot of food on the plate, we shared between two people. The eggs were ok not great and so was the chorizo and potatoes, but I wish there was more potato. The Brussel sprouts were also good, but nothing amazing. Overall I would come back tho!

Had the pleasure of dining with multiple mice scurrying around. The table next to us and our table both spotted multiple mice in different corners around us and right near our feet....the table next to us mentioned it to the waiter and she told her manager. The manager did not acknowledge it at all and proceeded to move the chairs in an effort to scare the mice away. We also did not receive any compensation for this issue which was rather annoying and exactly why I am writing this review in then first place.....other than the mice, the food and service was actually very good. We got the honeys wings which where very yummy. The burger was also good. Overall, this place has solid food and drinks but a serious issue with mice. So go at your own risk....

My husband and I had our 1-year anniversary party at Hops and Scotch with about 120 people and we can't recommend this amazing place enough to other couples or folks looking to host a large gathering. Every part of the process was such a joy and so easy thanks to the team's incredible attention to detail and willingness to make all sorts of dietary adjustments to cater to my gluten free self and some vegan friends and family. SERIOUSLY if you have food allergies - this place is the BEST for finding insanely delicious alternatives for all diets and lifestyles, especially for a big event. When the event night happened, everything looked amazing and tasted even better! Our friends and family have been raving about the ambiance, food and drink every since, and there is truly nothing we would re-do because everything came out as perfect as possible for a large, live party. I work in events professionally, and I can't get over how smooth, calm and joyous the whole thing felt. We've been patrons for years and recommend that you 1. Get there ASAP for delicious food and drinks and 2. Seriously consider hosting your wedding/event there.

Went there with a large group of folks with varied dietary preferences and there was something for everyone! Kind servers and chill
The server did a great job checking in frequently. The food was excellent, and there were several options for vegetarians including falafel, eggplant, and Brie. The whiskey selection was exceptional. The prices were very fair. They do offer whiskey flights and small samples at a good price. Beer selection was strong, too.

Food is overpriced and mediocre, our server only came to us twice and we had to stand up to get our check and pay, drinks were fine

We came here a few times during our trip as it was close to our hotel and the beer and different beers they had were great. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn’t eat here but food looked good

The drink selection is extensive, the bartenders are knowledgeable and courteous, and the food is fantastic. Every small and large plate has clearly been fine-tuned over and over, with generous portions of delicious food.
