The food and beer were really delicious and the service excellent

Great selection of beers on tap. It's got that neighborhood dive bar feel inside and when the weather's nice the back patio is a decent beer garden.

It doesn't look like much from the outside. But just walk through those doors and you'll immediately change your mind.Fantastic brews at great prices, amazing food made by a skilled cook, and friendly, charming service from the bartender.This is one of those hole in the walls that will reward you greatly for stepping in.

Went there during a NFL playoff game, no one there. All the beer prices aren't posted. Ended up paying $15 for a half pour of a stout. Had one and left. I wouldn't recommend nor will go back.

I ordered food at the begining of the 2nd half of the Ravens-Texans game tonight. Half showed up. Servers realized that. Allegedly put the other half back in. Game ended still didn't have my food. No effort was made to correct the problem. Don't ever show up here.

First visit and would not visit again. Late evening, noone there, maybe two persons at bar so service was quick, but not initiallyfriendly. Took her a moment to warm up. Almost as if she did not expect person of color. It felt a little off to me, as if I was not their "normal clientele". I get it with the area and persons hanging in this parking lot all day, every day. But I grew up in Warwick Village, so I don't fear that. But what turned me off the most were the very very very greasy burgers and tots. Did not sit well with my stomach. Have not tried other foods, but it was not good due to excessive grease.

The food at this place is soo good! They usually have some food specials and the drinks aren’t crazy expensive. Usually there’s some event going on as well from concerts to trivia night.

Great place to come and hangout! We came with a happy hour group and were able to hangout on the back patio with a fire pit. They have a small space inside but have a nice dog friendly patio space in the back. The food and drinks were delicious, but felt bad for the staff as they seemed swamped due to a large reservation on the back patio. Overall would definitely come back here as it's got some great food and drinks!

Cool little bar with a great beer selection. We had a TBA grilled cheese, I switched out avocado with tomato, and a steak and cheese grilled cheese. Both were amazing!

Delicious wings for a reasonable price25 for $34, can split wings into different flavor groups by requestGood beer list, just have to use the app to look at the menu . Hard to pick , many to choose from ?Location is deceiving. The restaurant is located in a plain environment and not an eye catching lot with other stores, but the Hops N Shine itself is a great place to eat and socialize.Recently in August, I suggested not to eat at the back outside because of a lot of bug bites. Wait until late autumn ? and winter ❄️ when bugs are less to eat at there comfortably.Recommend that place to hang out and chat, no frill and casual environment.The staff is good and accommodating.Kid-friendliness: Has a kid menuChicken tenders, hot dog ? and various sandwiches ?Parking: Park at the lot at front

We ordered the keto cheesesteaks, but they called us back a few minutes later to say they did not have it in stock. So we canceled the order and I still have not gotten my refund in over 2 weeks after multiple calls in to the store. Very upsetting.

Cute spot with a great outdoor area. Even with the heat, they have umbrellas and fans outside that made it doable. Lots of interesting menu choices, specifically with the grilled cheeses. My boyfriend doesn't eat meat so he liked have multiple options. He ordered The OG and I ordered the loaded tots with shaved ribeye. The shaved ribeye ended being just Steak'em which was a bit disappointing but other than that, the food was delicious and plentiful. He lives the crispness on the outside of his grilled cheese and the fries were crisp. Will definitely visit again and try more grilled cheese sandwiches.
