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…

Save Money:
Weekday happy hour features $3 pints, $4 wines and $5 mixed drinks from 4pm to 7pm. Lunch specials are also served Monday through Friday 11:30am to 4pm.
When to Go:
Score 25-cent chicken wings from 7pm until closing on Mondays; a fajita plate half-off when you buy one on Tuesdays; and $3 surprise pints until the keg is killed on Wednesdays.
The Extras:
Top the $10 minimum and get your grub delivered for free. But count your cash before ordering---they don't accept credit cards on deliveries.
ambiance
81.25% positive
  1. 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.
  2. Overall, if you like good beer, food and service, this place is really fun.
  3. If you can't enjoy the atmosphere, then what's the point of having good beer?
  4. Great beer, food and atmosphere
  5. The shots were expensive and we will not be going back due to the atmosphere and the price.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Nice staff, refreshingly clean atmosphere make for a great find.

  11. overall, a great place to kick back with friends and try some beers you may have never heard of.
  12. great beer selection.
  13. Also, like 200 different Belgian beer bottles.
  14. Thank you Hop Devil, for not only being the best bar in the Village, but also a therapeutic counsel to my psyche.
  15. The beer selection can be a bit daunting, but the server was very friendly and suggested good beers for us.
  16. the waitress was great and i totally recommend this place to any beer lovers!
  17. This place has decent food but avoid the bar next door at all costs.
  18. was looking forward to drinking some good beers.
  19. the positive of having a good beer selection is overwhelmed by the service.
  20. Overall, if you like good beer, food and service, this place is really fun.
  21. That said, if you're in the neighborhood and enjoy your beer, stop in for a pint.
  22. 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. Service was attentive, and these guys know their beers.
  24. 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.
  25. love this bar.
  26. Great beer, food and atmosphere
  27. 25 taps of great craft beer on the Grill side, and another five on the Belgian side.
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
  30. At this bar you can get frites and mussels, and the other bar a steak or New York's best burgers.
  31. This is one of the best bars in town for specialty beer.
  32. Honestly this was the worst bar experience I have ever had.
  33. So much better- great beer, awesome staff, lots of space.
  34. The most pretentious, awful group of people working at a bar EVER
  35. Two bars, one with 24 eclectic taps of delicious malted nectar, mostly American with a few British and German beers mixed in.
  36. Can taste beer before buying, friendly bartenders (is that Tara Reid or what?)
  37. The food is also decent since they have a large menu, especially considering this is primarily a speciality beer bar.
food quality

  1. 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.
  2. Decent burgers, awesome fries.
  3. Just when I thought I knew all the best places for a burger and a beer, I walk past this place.
  4. Great beer, food and atmosphere
  5. had the fries with the wasabi sauce, which were great.
  6. 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.
  7. have been the the Hop Devil Grill twice, and so far, I really enjoy the good service and food.
  8. Because the food was so bad, we just mentioned to the waitress to let the chef know that he is overcooking his food.
  9. The tacos were actually pretty good - although the Chorizo taco was by far the best (I found the chicken to be too bland).
  10. Avoid if you are looking for a good food and service
  11. 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.
  12. The food is really good, you want to have the Nachos Grande and the Quesadillas which are my favorites.
  13. Two bars, one with 24 eclectic taps of delicious malted nectar, mostly American with a few British and German beers mixed in.
  14. Anyway, food is pretty good for pub grub.

  19. 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.
  20. This place has decent food but avoid the bar next door at all costs.
  21. And I love the chicken sandwich with pineapple and swiss.
  22. The food here is real good.
  23. had the Huevos Rancheros which was tasty, and came with an awesome bloody mary for just $6.99.
  24. generally have had a good time going there, they have a more than ample selection of beers to choose from, and food is decent,
  25. At this bar you can get frites and mussels, and the other bar a steak or New York's best burgers.

  1. Can taste beer before buying, friendly bartenders (is that Tara Reid or what?)
  2. Ended up at Hop Devil last night after my birthday party was nearly ruined by rude service at another E. Vill Bar.
  3. But nothing can compensate for the incredibly nasty, sarcastic, pretentious people who work there.
  4. We were greeted by the friendly manager very promptly and ushered to a table.
  5. The manager then appeared and offered us a free round (that was not our intention, but it was a nice gesture), but the offer never materialized.
  6. The management is rude and cares very little about customer service.
  7. Not to mention the service, fantastic!
  8. And the bartenders were awesome.
  9. 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.
  10. Because the food was so bad, we just mentioned to the waitress to let the chef know that he is overcooking his food.
  11. Not so nice service.
  12. It wasn't very busy, so the service was naturally fast.

Love this place!

by beer girl nyc

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

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

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

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

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
