Bar Hop Brewco

Such great bar for both food and drinks. Everything on the menu is so well crafted and the selection of drinks is amazing with practically anything you could think of. The atmosphere of the bar is relaxing but can be a bit loud at peak dining hours.

We came to Bar Hop early on a Saturday afternoon so, most of the place was closed except for the rooftop patio. It was a good spot to catch up since it was not busy at all. There was some staff on duty but, they weren't serving tables anyway. We had a couple of rounds of beers and, they were all OK.

First time. Beer selection was good. Service was fair. The waiters tried to be nice but didn't seem like they were in the mood to serve. Felt very forced. Monday blues I guess? Friends had beef burgers and were happy with it! Had a bite to taste and it was good. I don't drink beer but had a sip and thought it had a nice flavour. Fried pickles were crunchy and nice with the sauce. Unfortunately, food was disappointing for me. Was looking forward to the bone marrow poutine cause my friend highly recommended it. However, it smelled a bit off, and when I tasted it, it tasted spoiled. The marrow had turned completely liquid, so when I poked it with my fork, it just disappeared. Barely nothing in the bone, and the bits that were left tasted so off. Like the only fat present stuck to my tongue like goo and made me want to throw up. I kept trying to wipe my tongue on the napkin and the taste would not leave my mouth. I'm a huge bone marrow fan. I cook and have had it multiple times at other restaurants but this was not it. The waiter was kind enough to bring it back to the kitchen but they said it was fresh from the day before. They offered to remove it from my bill and charge it as a regular poutine. Did not touch the rest and tried to eat the poutine to change the taste in mouth. Went back home and I had bad indigestion 30min later. My bf ate the rest of the poutine at home and said it was fine, but 30min later after he finished, he also had bad indigestion. Would suggest going there just for drinks.

I decided to stop by Bar Hop on Peter because I work in the area and wanted a little bevy after shift. Their rooftop patio was absolutely gorgeous and the atmosphere was fun and lively. I ended up taking a seat by the side of the bar and Kaitlin, Ray and Jordan were all very attentive and charming. They walked me through the wine, beer and food menu and helped me make the best possible choices. All in all I was super happy with my meal. I started off with a 9oz of their organic Cab Sav red which was delightful before moving onto their crowdpleaser hot dog with a side of the poutine. The hot dog was delightful and also ended up being huge which was a plus. My favourite type of wine is an orange but unfortunately they are only sold by the bottle. Kaitlin and Jordan suggested I instead try their Revel Cider which is a cider with orange wine and dark plums. I had never tried anything like it previously and would come back for the impeccable and personable service and that cider alone! I will definitely be coming back with more of my friends especially since I learned that wednesday has half priced bottles of wine!!!

Cool rooftop patio and nice selection of beers. The service was good (you order at the bar yourself) but I have to say the food was nothing special. I recommend it as a nice spot for a drink and snacks!
