Hopewell Bar & Kitchen is a pretty solid neighborhood bar. Nice laid back atmosphere, good drinks and friendly service. It's a good spot to grab a drink, hang out and have some food. Overall had a good time and would come back if I'm in the area.

Hopewell is a classic neighborhood pub in Allston with a good beer selection, friendly staff, and solid food. I had the teriyaki beef skewers, which were served on a bed of greens. The sauce was good, and the beef was cooked medium rare. It was a good portion size at a fair price. Have been here a a handful of times. Last time had a tomato based soup with toasted bread that was memorable. The pub has a great vibe, with a solid wood bar top and hardwood floors. The large interior offers plenty of seating options at tables. It also has a pool table and shuffleboard. It's a great spot to get together with friends, have a date night, or sit at the bar for a quick drink and bite to eat while watching the game. The staff and neighborhood regulars are friendly.

Bbq chicken wings

Looking to celebrate my friends birthday nearby, we decided to have dinner here. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations so we just showed up on a Wednesday night hoping they could accommodate for our table of seven. Fortunately, it was not busy, and we were able to pick between their indoor or outdoor seating. For appetizers we tried their Bbq chicken wings, Fried Pickles, Deep Fried Chicken Thigh Bites and Short Rib Poutine. Our favorite was the short rib poutine since it was rich and flavorful. We found that the barbecue sauce was too thick and overwhelming while the other appetizers were just okay. For entrees we tried their Tofu bowl, Short rib plate, chicken and gravy plate, brisket plate and Shrimp Pasta Primavera. People particularly liked the brisket and I liked how simple my tofu bowl was. Overall, we had a good time. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. Mostly there for drinks, we enjoyed most of our orders as well as her promptness of completing them. Wouldn't mind coming here again for another casual meal or even late night bite.

mac trio

Such a delicious experience! I loved the mac trio. (as a mac and cheese person) The short rib was perfectly soft and tender. There were good vibes all around. They have a pool table in the back and shuffleboard right by the bar. Would love to come back and try more of the dishes and play some pool!

Pickle Martini

This restaurant is tucked away, you walk in and immediately have a cozy vibe. This is a great place to hang out with friends. My friend and I sat at the bar to have dinner and drinks before a show. The bartenders were very kind and helpful with providing recommendations. The drinks were fantastic, one was a pickle martini and the other was a tropical drink. The crispy artichoke salad has me wanting to go back. It was a great experience!

Took a walk for a really late lunch today and stopped at the Hopewell Bar & Kitchen. We arrived in the dead zone between meals and service started a bit off. We sat ourselves in a mostly empty dining room. Soon we were greeted and the server was excellent from that point. We tried several things from the menu, starting garlic knots and short rib poutine- both were yummy. This was followed by a extra version of tomato soup and toasted cheese sandwich, the chicken caprese , and house pizza. They were all well prepared and presented. I think it may take me a bit to warm up to pizza with brussel sprouts and bacon flavors on it but I wanted to give it a try Overall a good experience and I would chalk the awkward start to the mid-afternoon meal. I expect the place was hopping at night with pool, shuffleboard and other fun stuff. I would try this place again, but may need to make it a happy hour to catch the real vibe of the place.

Stopped in here with coworkers before a WBUR event. Friday at 5:30 and the place was pretty empty…read more Our waitress was very attentive and consistently available and checking in -- perhaps helped by the barren dining area, but still appreciated! We started with margaritas which were just so-so. My spicy marg was not spicy and generally we found them to be a little on the sweet side. Fine, but to me it was more like drinking some nice juice. We ordered the nachos to share (you must get these) and a variety of entrees. Food came out so quickly! There was also SO MUCH. I made another two full meals out of leftover nachos and fajitas and could have stretched to a third. It's definitely Americanized Mexican but it really hits the spot! I'd probably just stick with water for my drink next time.

There was a DJ playing music with an MC giving away tickets. The hostess greeted us right away and informed us it was a 30 min wait for a table but that we could sit at the bar, We got lucky and sat at the bar, even though it was packed we didn't wait extremely long for our drinks nor our food. The bartenders were super nice. This is a good spot to kill time before a show or if you're just strolling by. I could tell there are some local regulars. Loved the rotating welcome sign at the entrance. My only complaint would be the ladies room could use a makeover. A nice paint job and new doors as one stall had no lock..

We just had a fabulous meal yet again at Bar'Cino in Brookline. We have been coming for a few years…read morebecause of the great food, fun decor, and wonderful service, but honestly this was the best meal we've ever had there. The food was delicious-- they have a brand new menu that is really good-- some of our favorites are there but the salmon and risotto, for instance, are seasoned in a new way and presented elegantly. We felt like royalty-- that's how good the service was, which is truly rare these days and one of the reasons we keep returning for birthdays and anniversaries and date nights. This time was to celebrate our son's return to his final year of college and our daughter's big new job. The staff worked together in a seamless way to make sure we were taken care of. We were most impressed by our server Lexi, who went out of her way to make us all feel special, which allowed us to really celebrate and enjoy being together as a family. Thank you! We will be back.

I would go back just for that - crispy + slicing with scissors adds a whole other feel to it. I feel in control of my flatbread. Calamari was good but I'd choose the flatbread over anything. Can't go wrong with fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Emma didn't like the dill on there but I didn't mind. Enjoyed with a nice glass of white wine while we dined outside.

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food. What we got Kiki's marmalade buns Castle in the sky Milk Punch May All your bacon burn

They do both reservations and walk-ins but it's safer to make a reservation ahead if you can. It's pretty easy to make one as well; we only booked a day ahead for a Friday night. Amazing first impressions as well. They make a tiny space work perfectly; I did not feel claustrophobic at all even with full house. They have really cute decors and the space is decorated well. They have their seasonal cocktails that you can choose your choice of liquor for and martinis (both vodka and gin). They brew their espresso fresh as well so the space smells so good every time it is brewed. I got a Peru Plunder and it was fruity and light (a dangerous one). Their apple pie old fashioned has an interesting aftertaste in a good way. The bartender and the server were attentive and friendly as well. I had a great time and will definitely be coming back. -9.1/10
