I’m sure from the price of your food you can afford to heat the place! Turn the flipping heat up!!!

I'd give 10 stars for service if I could. The first time I was there was 7 months ago. My friends and I went on Friday night and our server from our 1st visit, Emily, remembered us, what we ordered and where we sat! We tried different cocktails, all exceptional. The food was above and beyond delicious. We will be back again and again. A wonderful experience.

Just tried the beef tartar my bartender recommended it! Probably the best tasting dish I've had in a long time!

What an awesome find on a windy chilly day. Can I just redecorate my house with this attire? Service and staff was top notch. Drinks were spot on. Find it! Try it! Enjoy. Your welcome

I used to enjoy this place when they were at their old location, but it seems that with the new place has come a change in attitude and service level.
We had a reservation for 17 people made three weeks in advance for September 20th, but when we arrived, the manager informed us they had no record of our reservation. Imagine the chaos of managing 17 people with separate tables downstairs!
The situation escalated when I ordered a single shot of Blanton's whiskey. The server informed me that I couldn’t order that and had to choose something from the menu instead. I initially thought she was joking, but she was serious. Eventually, after some back and forth, the bartender stepped in, and my order was brought to me with the server saying it required supervisor approval.
This was quite surprising for a whiskey bar!
I’m sorry to see Hopscotch has turned into such an unprofessional location. I’ll think twice before returning or recommending it to others in the future.

Unreal experience at Hopscotch, great cocktails and a beautiful little bar. Our server, Frank, did a great job of showing us around the bar and giving a bit of history of the bar. Great little spot for group events or a little date night.

We recently booked Hopscotch for a private event, and I can't recommend them enough. The food and drinks were absolutely excellent - they made a mean espresso martini. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Emily, who also catered our wedding the very next day—she went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and to check in on everyone. The space was clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated, creating the perfect atmosphere for our gathering. If you’re looking for outstanding service and incredible food/drink for your event, Hopscotch is a top pick in the city!

Wanted to like this place a bit more, so maybe I’ll give it another shot. The jerk shrimp were awesome, and the drinks were nice. Beauty space. Only thing was I ordered the steak and it came out medium well if I’m being generous (their default is medium rare). I was pretty hungry so ate a good amount, but some parts were so dry that I just couldn’t. When asked how it was and I said it was way over, the reply was that maybe it was out too long before being served. Fair, but then chef should have re-fired or the server shouldn’t have brought it. It’s fine, but between one awesome dish and one that sucked, it’s a solid three on five. But amazing scotch lineup for sure, I’d just be more inclined to go drink than eat.

Beware, if you are looking to use an Uptown Saint John gift card here, they will not accept them. Despite the fact they are listed as a participating restaurant.

Pricy, but by far the cleanest watering hole you'll find around!
