Their espresso martini packs a punch.
Homemade Chicken Corn Chowder soup was good
Homemade broiled crab cakes were dry and didn't have much flavor.
Potatoes as a side came with several small potatoes, but needed flavor.
Peanut butter pie not available @4:00 Friday evening. Why put it on menu?

As this is my spot, I can almost walk here. It's disappointing to get pizza sometimes as it's a bit or miss, and the last couple of times, the wings were completely inedible

Management needs to address pizza quality or current pizza cook. I hate to leave this updated review, but facts are facts, the pizza has gone way downhill. The Paddock built their reputation on their bar style pizza, cooked well done, cheese to the edge with no visible crust. Crispy and delicious. My last two pies (add bacon and onion) over the last 3 months (after 8pm) were a wet, undercooked mess. Overly cheesed. Cheese not to the edge. Minimal toppings. After my first substandard pizza in October I told myself I'd give it one more chance, as my waitress advised there was a new pizza cook.
My pie last evening was equally below the standards I'm used to. Floppy and wet. Cheese not to edge. Under topped and over cheesed
(Did you tell the waitress? No, I wasn't willing to wait for them to re-fire a pizza. Did you eat the whole thing? Obviously. It's pizza) So... sadly I'm done with this place unless they can get the pizza back to the level that made this place an Allentown institution. Maybe this can open a dialog that will eventually improve their signature item. As always, the staff was wonderful.
Previous 4 Star review posted mid 2022. Get the pizza. Bar pie with cheese to the edge. Augment it with bacon. Come on a Friday night and you might rub shoulders with a past Mayor. Good selection of craft beer. No reservations.

Hops at the Paddock is a bar & grill located on W Colombia St. in Allentown. They are open Sun - Thu 11AM - 11PM (kitchen closes at 9PM) and Fri - Sat 11AM - 2AM (kitchen closes at 10PM).
I’ve been here a handful of times over the past decade and never had a bad experience. The food and service are consistently good. My most recent visit was on Friday October 25th. I stopped in with some friends and family and everyone enjoyed themselves.
I ordered mozzarella moons, homemade pierogies, and one of their weekend specials; grilled cheese and pumpkin tomato soup. Everything was wonderful! I definitely recommend adding the Cajun crab and brown butter to the pierogies.
Indoor and outdoor seating are both available. There is no delivery, but they do offer takeout.

Brought a small group here for lunch. Our server was courteous and attentive. The food was delicious and fresh. The only negative is the noise level. For a rather small place the acoustics are lacking. May come back for another try.
