Looked this place up was skeptical about it at first but we decided to try it. We were going to just get drinks and go eat somewhere else but we decided to stay and try their bean and cheese tacos. Guy at the bar recommended add bacon and was he right amazing simple appetizer. Played great with beer. Recommend this place try the food. read more

This past Monday, we headed to @claudehoppers.sa for dinner. We were there for their happy hour goodness. My husband had the HH Frozen Margarita while I had the HH Margarita on the Rocks. We shared the Jalapeno Sausages, which had just the right amount of spice. Dad and I shared the Ham & Cheese Panini. My husband had the Chicken Pesto Panini. It was good to know they still had the Fish and Chips on the menu. Will have to get that the next time. Initial orders were at the bar with Isabelle, and then she came to serve us. Very good visit and budget friendly! read more

A friend and I recently decided to visit Claude Hoppers after work for their happy hour as we'd heard good things about this neighborhood bar. We arrived around 6:30PM and there was a decent amount of people inside and only one group sitting outside. We decided to sit at the bar as we were not planning to stay too long. The bartender working was very new (it was her second day), but did her best to answer any question we had and was very friendly! We loved chit-chatting with her. We ordered a cocktail, a beer and a pretzel as someone else at the bar was saying how great their pretzels always are. The cocktail was well made and couldn't have been better! When the pretzel arrived, it was served with a side of melted cheese as well as packets of grey poupon mustard. Upon first look, the pretzel looked soft and delicious! I tore off a piece from the center (where the twist is) and was disappointed to realize the inside was still cold/ frozen. I told the server and she quickly took it back to the kitchen. Once the pretzel came back out (a new one), it was very firm and darker in color as they were clearly trying to make sure this one was not cold. Sadly... the inner twist was still cold while the outside was scolding hot. My friend and I both agreed that we wouldn't reorder the pretzel. Prices were very reasonable for this bar, the drinks were good and the staff was great. Even though the pretzel was a disappointment we would definitely come back! read more

Quaint little neighborhood joint that meets the needs of the casual imbiber. Sarah, the bartender, has Rubenesque physical traits and a Rosie the Riveter vibe. She has a quick and easy smile, slow chuckle, and light fingers with the cocktails. All good and all is well. Swing by. Tell her Scott sent you. Then sit back and relax. read more

This bar slaps. Solid drinks and great food. Wonderful service and I love it. Amen read more

Claude’s - #CiagrsInside - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Beer was not cold enough. The female bartender was vaping at the same time she was pouring beer Not sure if smoking is allowed inside but she should do it on her break and outside Won't be coming back read more

They had a great atmosphere - live music, outdoor seating, etc... Your can tell this is somewhere locals hang out frequently! However, we arrived shortly after happy hour ended so it wasn't super packed, but there appeared to only be one person working. I felt bad for her, as she did her best. It just took forever to get service and for the food we ordered to come out. Once the second bartender arrived, things seemed to improve and overall it was a fun little local bar to visit! read more

Good service, bartender was fast good vibe for a Saturday football game! Wish the kitchen was open when we were there at 4pm but cold beer and football was good read more

Half the taps are empty, when asking if that's normal, he replied "sometimes we have them sometimes we don't"... cool story bro. Customer service is not the best, crazy, I'm not asking for much, but don't be a d!#% about it. Ambiance is chill, patio isn't bad, 2 stars for that. Too many places around to try out to come back for a second shot. read more

My Husband and I popped in here one Sunday afternoon after a day of running errands, he needed a beer and I needed a snack! We had always seen Claude Hoppers in passing and were in the area so decided we'd give it a try. The inside is very much a sports bar (great place to catch a football game on a Sunday), while the outside gives more of a beer garden feel - lots of seating and great outdoor space. The bartender who waited on us was really kind and welcomed us in as it being out first time. My Husband ordered a Pinthouse Electric Jellyfish and I ordered the pretzel, which came with a beer cheese on the side. The pretzel was a decent size for both of us to share and was soo good! I really like how much variety they have on their menu - there is something for everyone. As for my Husband's beer, it was great and to make it even better, a 16oz for $5! Holy smokes! Great food, great prices and a cool atmosphere I'd say it's definitely worth a try! read more

Claude’s - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The place is small and intimate inside with a nice open patio outside. The atmosphere and its patrons were very chill and fun. People were laughing and enjoying each others company. There aren't servers so you have to go to the bar to order food and drinks. The menu is small for food (bar food) but there was a wealth of beers on tap. Bonus: two different types of Yuengling but no Black and Tan. Texas may have to wait a while longer for that one to get here. The female bartender was a little (a lot) lost. Each time I said an item I wanted she said, "is that it?" which made me think that she wasn't taught the art up upselling yet but that's another story. I ordered food and my drink and then my husband ordered his food and drink. He offered a card and she said she "didn't think she needed that" but then put our order as to-go. ??? We went back to our table and realized that other tables had table tents so I went back and asked if I needed a number and they were like, oh yea! How about this number? And handed me a table tent. We waited about 40 minutes for wings and meatballs. The Yuengling on tap - not warm but not cold. Meh. The wine - La Crema Pinot noir. I ask the female bartender if they had Pinot Noir and she said, "oh this?" with a very confused look on her face and showed me a bottle of Chardonnay. Um, no. Anyway, our food was finally brought out. The wings had a decent flavor but they weren't hot and they were slimy and gummy. Yuck. He asked for blue cheese and he got ranch and one empty and dirty ramekin??? The meatballs were previously frozen, in my opinion, but weren't too bad. But they weren't hot either. In the middle of waiting on our food, the female bartender came up and tried to had us a very watered down drink I had noticed at the bar when ordering twenty minutes prior. She asked if we ordered this drink and when we said no, she continued to ask around to find the right person. The piece de resistance was our bill. Everything was of a normal price but my glass of wine...was TEN DOLLARS. La Crema normally sells for about 12-15 for a bottle. I get a mark up to make a profit, but dude. That's just rude. This place truly has potential but they need to step it up a notch on hot food and maybe a once around from the bartender to check on patrons and to bus some tables. I say this because a gentleman next to us very jokingly but vocally said, "pardon me while I bus my table" as he went back and forth 3 times to empty his table of empty glasses and dishes from the people at his table. On the pulse side, everyone was very cordial and had great attitudes. Over all, I give it a 6.1. read more

Great atmosphere, selection of drinks (huge variety of beers on draft and many cocktail selections too) and there's really fun karaoke on Thursdays! It's such good energy and the DJ is a real treat. If I lived here, I'd go every Thursday. It's a local, small place with a great vibe. Definitely worth checking out. read more

My all women's volunteer organization hosted a fund raiser trivia night at this bar. When I got there, I was worried we wouldn't have enough room or tables for the group, but we ended up being fine. It's a small place for a large group, but they were attentive and accommodating. There seemed to be a limited staff working (maybe 3?) but the service was good. Food menu is small but has some good looking options. It's not on the overhead electronic screens (drinks only) but there are laminated menus around. And pictures posted on the business' Yelp page. They also have a water cooler (like the kind you have at football games) so you can get water whenever you want. This is a fun little bar in a strip of other businesses. It may get looked over but if you are in the area, it would be a good place to check out. The fun: Lots of drink choices with a wide variety of IPAs. All 4 people at our table enjoyed what they had. The Purple Haze was a hit with another at our table. I enjoyed the Crackberry cider. It was a little more tart than I usualoy like, but I thought it was a decent cider. Also some canned and bottled beverages. Max was behind the bar for our event, and he was very friendly. He also handled our large group well. The less than ideal: The electronic menu keeps changing what is shown on the screen. There are 2 screens. There are 2 pages for the drink menu. However, the part of the menu displayed on each screen changes when the circle at the bottom fills up. It's not really enough time to read everything on one screen before it changes and you have to try to find your place again on the other screen. And some of the drink listed online aren't on the screen (specifically the 1 of 2 tap ciders I saw online). Oh, and there is only 1 women's restroom. read more

Claude hoppers has been on our list for a long time and we finally were able to check it out! They have an extensive list of draft beers/ciders including local options. They also have a full bar/shots/liquor. They have an awesome vibe with indoor and outdoor seating. We were there in a Friday night and they had live music playing. Bartenders were friendly, great drink options, amazing vibe, we will definitely be back! read more

Went to Claude Hopper's's for the first time last night the staff was Amazing!! Super friendly staff. Our server was Shayla, helpful, gave us recommendations, super friendly!. Would return on a daily basis. Plus if you want to hear live music and watch sports this is the place for you!! read more

My first "beer only" type of pub, and also my introduction to Geeks Who Drink Pub trivia. Claude Hoppers is pretty far out of my way but it's still a grand time when I get to go. They have a nice selection of beer, on par with your local Big Hops, and a mix of high and low seating, as well as a nice outdoor patio. I had a first date here and when he went to the bathroom, the bartender was eavesdropping a bit and excitedly ran up to me to squeal, "Is this a first date!? He's SO hot, where did you find him!?" So that was pretty adorable. Pub Trivia is always a blast here, too. It's hosted by Geeks Who Drink, whose format I absolutely love. Build up a team, have a pint, and spend an evening at Claude Hoppers! read more

This place deserves a 0-star. It is a RACIST place. For the very first time, I came to this place. I waited for at least 10 minutes, but no one showed up to serve me. I went towards the kitchen and took a look inside. I never entered the kitchen. A blonde girl EVENTUALLY showed up and got scared. I politely apologized to her and requested two drinks. She asked about my nationality!!! When I said I was Persian, she refused to serve me. This is an act of racism. Another dick-sized guy accused me that I was drunk and kicked me out of the restaurant/bar. I was never drunk. I have bartending certificate from California and I am familiar with the rules and policies. I have recently applied for a sensitive government job and am in process of a stiff background check. I cannot violate the laws of this land. I hope management finds a solution for this incident. This place is in stark contradiction with this country's values and constitution! This will be my last visit to this offensive unconstitutional place. read more

Before I dig into this review, I'd like to say I've been to numerous growler stations and think I've developed a pretty good basis of comparison/ expectations. This place is super far from San Antonio. Okay I got that out the way. There's plenty of parking and indoor/outdoor seating. The outdoor patio is set up kind of like a beer garden, but there's no walk-up window service. There is wait staff though, so that's cool. Immediately I was impressed with the selection of beers. Not sure how often they change them, but for a first timer it was a change for sure. The indoor area has booths, high-tops, bar seating and a little cove in the back. Liking that. The staff was cool too. The food is better than bar food. I mean they offer humus and pulled pork tacos. Whaaaaaat?! Some things I really didn't care for were no 1/2 pours, flights and condiment taster cups. If I'm willing to commit to paying a little extra for craft beer, then I'm definitely not okay with plastic taster cups. Every other craft beer spot offers glass tasters. I understand they offer flights now, since my visit about 3 weeks ago. Pros: Beer selection FOOD (Most growler spots don't have food) Parking Growler prices Drink growlers on premises Cons: No Flights No 1/2 pours (must commit to full 16oz) Distance Plastic taster cups No designated tap handles read more

Love!! Such a fun neighborhood bar + great people my only complaint is I miss shay but we have Taylor now to makeup for it

So it's 645 on Sunday, October 29. I just thought I'd stop in to Claude hoppers cause I've never been there before and I've seen some advertisements and some of the burgers and other bar. Food look pretty good. I walked in small crowd, maybe less than a dozen people all sitting at the bar. I grab a seat at one of the high tops very close to the bar. Look over the menu and I see there's two different burgers there. A cheeseburger and an Italian burger. I wait and I wait and I wait for someone to come and talk to me possibly take my order the only service person I can see in the bar is the bartender. After another eight minutes he finally comes around from behind the bar and he says what can I get for you boss? And I just inquired what is an Italian burger? And he looked at it frozen for a while, and said I have no idea! So that told me that if the service was bad, the food was probably bad too so I left.too bad I'm sure they could use every bit of business they can get. Wouldn't be surprised if they were out of business within a year. read more

The place is teetering a 3/4 star. Nice little bar with beer and liquor options. The owners make dumplings which is the specialty for the spot. We've had various samplings of them and they are all delicious. Suggestions- bathrooms could use a good cleaning and freshen up. Very high-end part of town the bathroom not in high standard could be a turnoff. Moose Out read more

Went here the other day to grab some drinks. Overall, walking in the place has a cool vibe. They play primarily reggae music and have about 50 beers on tap that is listed on a screen with the price and alcohol percentage. The downside of this place is their cleanliness, service, and beer knowledge. We went there and everyone ordered the Ballast Point Grunion Pale Ale. When we drank it though, we knew it wasn't the actual beer and the bartender insisted that it was. Lucky for us, we were with a Ballast Point distributor so he looked at the tap and confirmed that it in fact wasn't the beer we had requested. The service was highly lacking. There was one lady working and maybe 10 at most people in the place. But it was fairly calm, yet she didn't walk around to ask us if we need more after our empty glasses sat there for over 15 minutes. As for cleanliness, the toilet paper and paper towels were empty in the restroom. Also, there was a pile of looks like swept up trash just sitting on the ground near a table. Sadly, I wish this place was better, but I don't see myself coming back. read more

Good beer and various selections. Live music on Friday. Enjoyed the ambiance, very relaxing.

November 2021 UPDATE: New owners and the place is great! Happy Hour 3-7 every day - $4 beers and other drink specials. Super clean and nice. So glad to be able to put Claude Hoppers back into our rotation. read more

Kirsten was by far the most welcoming and nicest bartender. We enjoyed talking to her and learning about Claude Hoppers. The beer selection was good, they have some craft beer and hoping to get more. They have only been open for 3 weeks, we are excited to try this place again and highly recommend it. read more

So, I was able to score a Groupon for this particular place awhile back and wanted to get a really good deal on a growler fill. First off could this place be any further from the city?!! It was like I could see the Eiffel Tower on the next block! Secondly I was anticipating a much bigger space, as all the pictures I saw of it gave me that impression. However, what I've learned as I Yelp is that the disparity between perception and actual experience can be great. As you enter here a really cool iron fence with ornate lighting opens up the patio, with ample seating and tables to match. By comparison the taproom is relatively small. The interior itself is both sleek and cozy. A small bar area with a few high chairs/ tables gives me the impression the intent of the owner was to create an intimate experience. In contrast it is a refreshing departure from the noise and bustle of other tap rooms. But then again there are people that gravitate toward a busy, crowded bar. The growler/tap station itself is a small counter space with a healthy beer selection alongside a wall. In addition a small screen displays beers by name, price and alcohol content. Since this location is in Stone Oak prices are in fitting with this area. For example a simple pour of the Real Ale's, "Mysterium Verum Kraken" a rare tap, will set you back $12. Definitely expect to pay a little more than the typical taproom you might frequent, if you choose to come here. In terms of service the tapmaster was very professional. I like how she moved from patron to patron, able to take orders and fill pours. She knew customers on a first name basis but more importantly knew their drink of choice; which speaks volumes of this establishment. In my tattered slip-on Vans I collected my growler of Karbach's "Krunkin Pumkin" and headed on out. My only critiques of this spot would be I wish they would post on their page the prices for their beers. And the distance. If this was in the Deco District area I would probably hit this place up more frequently. Still Claude Hopper's is a really cool tap/growler station with a sleek layout. The vibe is laid back, the beer selection is good, the patio is perfect for conversation and the service is excellent. And I think a Friday night after work is the optimal time to get "Krunkin!" read more

Claude’s - Awesome, sweet bartender, Caitlin, come out for Happy Hour! - Sports Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I usually write reviews when the existing reviews do not represent my experience. This is a great addition to Stone Oak. Good location. Same ownership as well known Lion and Rose. Something like 82 beers on tap. All craft beer. So if miller lite is your drink... This is not your place. The bar tender knew her beer. I was surprised. I witnessed her point people on the right direction based on their taste. The bar was only open two days but clean. Nice patio. What else do you want...!!!! I'm very glad to have a good craft beer room in SA. Now they need to open their eyes and start putting some awesome New Mexico craft beer on tap. I would die and be in heaven if they had Marble or La Cumbre IPA. read more

This is a diamond in the rough! Prices are on point, better than comparable craft beer bars/growler filling stations in town. I just moved from San Diego, and this place is awesome.

I had the best time here with my honey. The tap selection was good. We enjoyed every beer we tried. The black butte was what lured us in and it did not disappoint.

We also had the Italian pretzel sticks, very tasty. I can't wait to come back! read more
