What People Are Saying About Hop Devil Grill

Featured Review

The Scene – This yellow-stucco, Southwestern-style pub stays far away from devilish revelry or a hopping, crowded scene, despite touting almost 100 beers. The mostly 30-something set loosens up to classic rock tunes without getting too crazy. The tidy space allows ample lounging in big cherry-stained booths, at sidewalk tables or at the long bar and its separate island. – – The Draw – With so many poisons to pick, it's surprising the place stays so sober. An impressive international beer collection bristles from 24 taps, drawing on 13 countries from Germany to the…

ambiance
81.25% positive
  1. This has been my favorite all-around beer bars for years, having a very wide selection of drafts and usually a relatively quiet atmosphere, along with above average bar food.
  2. If you can't enjoy the atmosphere, then what's the point of having good beer?
  3. And in an instant, the entertaining bartenders and convivial atmosphere helped me forget all about the evil succubus that tried to dismantle my very soul and being.
  4. The shots were expensive and we will not be going back due to the atmosphere and the price.
  5. Nice staff, refreshingly clean atmosphere make for a great find.
  6. Not only have I made a lot of great friends there, 'cause the atmosphere is so great with all the different spaces to hang out, but I even met my boyfriend Dave there.
  7. Great beer, food and atmosphere
  8. Overall, if you like good beer, food and service, this place is really fun.

  1. Great beer selection, friendly barstaff, no crowd
  2. The most pretentious, awful group of people working at a bar EVER
  3. the great service with smile was definitely what made this place great--they gave us a free round of kamikazes and a gift certificate in celebration of the birthday, and didn't push anyone to order food or more drinks.
  4. The food is also decent since they have a large menu, especially considering this is primarily a speciality beer bar.
  5. was looking forward to drinking some good beers.
  6. great beers, great service
  7. generally have had a good time going there, they have a more than ample selection of beers to choose from, and food is decent,
  8. Overall, if you like good beer, food and service, this place is really fun.
  9. They had some interesting beers with high alcohol content (and high prices to match).
  10. they do have a decent beer selection, and the food is tasty, but I will never set foot in the place again.

  12. Can taste beer before buying, friendly bartenders (is that Tara Reid or what?)
  13. great beer selection.
  14. the positive of having a good beer selection is overwhelmed by the service.
  15. In addition, a ton of German, British and other worldly brews in bottles, and a good emphasis on American made beers on tap at the big bar.
  16. love this bar.
  17. This has been my favorite all-around beer bars for years, having a very wide selection of drafts and usually a relatively quiet atmosphere, along with above average bar food.

  23. So much better- great beer, awesome staff, lots of space.
  24. Just when I thought I knew all the best places for a burger and a beer, I walk past this place.
  25. The beer selection was fairly promising, but beyond that, we had the worst mussels ever (over cooked, stringy, and the dish even had shells in it- as in seashells), were given dirty plates, and the only bread available is doused in paprika.
  26. Service was attentive, and these guys know their beers.
  27. The big draw is the beer selection.
  28. This is one of the best bars in town for specialty beer.

  33. so there beer menu isn't always up to date, but the beer the bartender recommended was amazing!
  34. Honestly this was the worst bar experience I have ever had.
  35. At this bar you can get frites and mussels, and the other bar a steak or New York's best burgers.
  36. Two bars, one with 24 eclectic taps of delicious malted nectar, mostly American with a few British and German beers mixed in.
  37. Also, like 200 different Belgian beer bottles.

  7. have been the the Hop Devil Grill twice, and so far, I really enjoy the good service and food.
  8. Unfortunately the burger was awful, the quesadilla tasted bland, the french fries were burnt, the wings were undercooked, even my mimosa tasted like the OJ had gone bad.

  22. The tacos were actually pretty good - although the Chorizo taco was by far the best (I found the chicken to be too bland).
  23. had the Huevos Rancheros which was tasty, and came with an awesome bloody mary for just $6.99.
  24. Because the food was so bad, we just mentioned to the waitress to let the chef know that he is overcooking his food.
  25. guess it had been about a month since I had been back but I went last weekend with two of my friends who I promised excellent food and mimosas.

Love this place!

by beer girl nyc at Citysearch

Amazing beer selection, quality food and friendly, super knowledgeable bartenders that are willing to let you sample before you decide. Lots of space to sit and talk to friends or listen to music. Definitely check out the Belgian Room next door!

Hop Devil Grill

by Littleseed at Citysearch

Took a friend up for her birthday; the music was a bit like a random jukebox selection. The shots were expensive and we will not be going back due to the atmosphere and the price.

  • Pros: Nice building and service
  • Cons: bathroom is unisex with see through door

They had two things going for them

by racshade at Citysearch

Hop devil grill never had very good lunch/dinner. They did have a kick ass brunch and a very good beer selection. For some reason they decided to get rid of brunch. I know enough other restaurants with tons of beer, so I wont be going back.

  • Pros: Good Beer
  • Cons: They got rid of their Brunch menu

great place for a birthday

by deener84 at Citysearch

the great service with smile was definitely what made this place great--they gave us a free round of kamikazes and a gift certificate in celebration of the birthday, and didn't push anyone to order food or more drinks. they even took the liberty of putting up a ton of balloons for the occasion :-P

the crowd could have been better but the quiet allowed us to actually have audible conversations despite being at a bar in st marks.

drinks were relatively cheap and they do have a wide variety, from beers to cocktails to margaritas.

  • Pros: wonderful service, quiet enough for conversation
  • Cons: bit of a dive, $8 margaritas at the bar weren't very good

Devil Deal is Real

by Alhanson at Citysearch

This place was a little farther than I thought from the subway, and I didn't really appreciate walking in the rain three blocks. When I got there, it was WELL WORTH IT!

We were greeted by the friendly manager very promptly and ushered to a table. To my great relief the Magic/Lakers NBA final game was on the TV and there was room to see it!

The beer selection can be a bit daunting, but the server was very friendly and suggested good beers for us. I had the Captain Lawrence Pale Ale. Highly recommended. My friend had a glass of mead. Mead! Who serves that? It was the first time I ever tasted Mead, but it wasn't bad.

The food here is real good. Especially the wings. We wound up getting a second order. If you like heat, order hot, and not medium. Medium isn't hot enough. The server warned that nuclear is dangerous, and I didn't want to go there my first time to this restaurant. My friend had the fish tacos, and they earned her raves. Looked pretty good with sides of rice and beans.

Music on was good. Sort of a mix of old school rock and more modern indie type stuff. I'd say overall that the atmosphere rocked, prices were more than fair and I will definitely be going back the Hop Devil. Its a great deal. And that is my first Citysearch review.

  • Pros: Good food, lots of beer to choose from, Mead, service
  • Cons: Not too close to the subway
