    Best wings in nova. Awesome beer selection for in-person dining and the food holds up great for delivery.

    Chicken Tenders and comedy night
    Anna D.

    They recently transitioned to new management, and I'm loving it! More events will be coming there soon! So many beers on draft and bottled to choose from plus a full bar. Great place for casual dining and late night food as well! Cozy inside with a nice big patio in the back that can also be covered and heated when it's cold. I love me some chicken tenders and these were on point - crispy but juicy inside and not dry. I was curious to try the banh mi sausage dog. Normally, Asian fusion food tends not to go well but it was actually pretty good. The spices and aioli sauce were very balanced. I asked the bartender to surprise me with a drink. I wanted to try something new. She did a great job with a ginger beer, tequila and grapefruit cocktail! They have comedy, trivia, barks and brews animal rescue nights, and music bingo and karaoke nights will be there soon! I'm excited! If anyone knows me, I run an extremely large karaoke group, and we are always looking for new places. The place is clean, intimate, not too bright, and such a friendly neighborhood bar. I'm looking forward to going back for all of these new events!

    Came for the beer check-ins, but was a little disheartened by the location. We pulled up for a drink and weren't sure if we'd stay as it's suspiciously lodged in a rundown plaza, next to a large 7-11. The inside is narrow and long, but pleasantly cool, and the back has a large patio area with picnic benches and dog bowls. On the way in I noticed a sign with daily activities. There's something happening here every day of the week, and every week there is a theme. Tonight just happened to be "music bingo" and the theme was a popularly requested "kpop". You have no idea how surprised we were with the theme. We sat down like, kpop?! Here?! Sponsored by Greak Lakes brewery even! :D Ordering food was easy with a menu and a QR code menu that almost matched, but ordering drinks? A lot of scrolling. No physical menu. No divisions between beer and long drink and cider. Ugh. The music bingo ended up being ok as in not too loud. I like kpop in general so didnly mind listening to millennial kpop (classics!) So we then proceeded to order an appetizer platter where the fried pickles were surprisingly good. The chicken tenders were a great size (and taste), especially when ordered as a "my date is not hungry" add-on (with fries). The tatchos were excellent and I feel like I'll have to return just to try out the loaded tots and chili tots (because yassss) Overall it seemed like a wholesome, kid- and pet-friendly sit-down restaurant where the whole fam can enjoy delicacies like peach lonkero (Finnish long drink) :D Service was friendly and hospitable.

    Nestled between a laundry mat and a 7-11, Hops N Shine is a little unassuming from the outside. But what it lacks from first impression, it makes up for once you walk in. Family friendly, live music, great food, and plenty of drinks (cocktails, moonshine, beer, and wine). Live music on Saturday is great. The food is fantastic (recommend burger melt). Can't go wrong with the drinks. The clientele was chill and servers were friendly. Overall worth a visit, and if all else fails hit them up to go!

    Great place to come and hangout! We came with a happy hour group and were able to hangout on the back patio with a fire pit. They have a small space inside but have a nice dog friendly patio space in the back. The food and drinks were delicious, but felt bad for the staff as they seemed swamped due to a large reservation on the back patio. Overall would definitely come back here as it's got some great food and drinks!

    My team and I went to Hops N Shine recently for a Happy Hour. We sat in the back of the venue. They have cornhole and a couple of other games outside. Their staff did a great job recommending beer and food to my group. I tried this Strawberry Cider. I lie to not it was the best Cider I've ever had. Aside from the beer options, they have a very diverse grilled cheese menu that paired well with the beer & ciders. My group staffed there for about 2.5 hours. My group tried the pretzel and the tatters with beer cheese. The beer cheese was fantastic. I wish I had pictures but it was finish so fast. I highly recommend this spot.

    Grilled cheese and tater tots
    Lily S.

    What a delightful treat after a 3.5 hour dentist appointment that included at least one crown. I ordered a grilled cheese and tater tots and the avocado salad. The tots were awesome, the salad was a zesty refreshing side. The grilled cheese was solid but down a star because it could have used at least two more slices of cheese. Sounds like the menu has a great drink selection, so I'm looking forward to going in person once this COVID bull crap is over.

    Sunrise on Del Ray
    Michaele M.

    Very chill vibe and interesting moonshine combos. Sunrise on Del Ray cocktail- I was almost 3 sheets to the wind before trying this, sooo I Think it was pretty good. Please don't ask me for flavor details...I'm still tipsy. Grilled cheese - wasn't completely melted when it was served, so Sent it back to be grilled further. Took a lot longer than expected seeing as how the place was practically empty but, nevertheless, was returned melted. I may be petty but I took off a star b/c, I felt sorta neglected after I paid but I hadn't finished my dining. The bartender/waitress, while nice when serving me, seemed to kinda ignore me once the bill was paid and was gabbing away with a bar patron.

    @hopsnshine I've never had moonshine cocktails before so this was a real treat! We also had some great food to pair with them as well: Walt cheesey grilled cheese: Absolutely DELISH, takes me back to the maguc kingdom with a perfect pairing to their tomato soup Banh Mi hot dog: loved the sweet and tangy combo Tots: perfectly crispy and great portion Wings: Yummy, great classic w/lots of fun flavours Moonshine margarita: Spicy nut not overwhelming, I think it's my new favourite marg to be honest Shine Mule: Yummy, light and refreshing We also got surprised with a dessert cocktail: it was like a white Russian with moonshine and soooo good Overall I'd say 10/10, will also definitely come back here. I'd come back for the drinks alone, but the grilled cheese was awesome and everything went together like a comfort meal. Add this to your list! -IG @SpicyAivy

    Hello, does your establishment take song requests from patrons?

    Our business has pre-approved playlists that staff may choose from. We do not accept individual song requests.

    Is the outside area dog friendly?

    I was there a couple weeks ago with my pup and loved it! They have bowls for water and he found a chew toy to keep himself busy lol.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    There is a patio, but the bar area is a bit cramped for kids and caters more to adults with a great beer selection and tasty grilled cheeses.

I coulda gone to a Starbucks or picked any one of the MANY pastry specialty shops along the way buttttt why would I? LOL. Decent Margarita (learning to say HECK NOOOO to Montezuma ... IYKYK). Super limited HH menu but the chicken skewer I ordered did not disappoint. Would order again. Juicy nuggets (clearly NOT air fried), decent tzatziki sauce, FRESH grilled veggies (albeit no seasoning *sigh*). 25+ beers on tap. Personally, I'm not a beer drinker (besides an occasional Stella or Modelo) buttt 25+ seems pretty impressive to me for a bar this size. Flyers promote stand up comedy events and some more! Sheesh, for the 40 minutes I was there, I can confirm they clearly have a strong presence on King Street. Most def recommending and personally, would most def return ... I'm super curious about the "wurst on a roll" and the rooftop setting (which wasn't open yet). Again, in my 49 minute time frame ... they lost A LOT of business because the roof top was not open. EXCELLENT play list ... YASSS to the late 90's - early 2K rap! In all honesty, this is the reason I gave them 4 stars. Alright, Body on Me (Nelly, Ashanti & Akon) is blaring ... gotta go pretend I can sing. When you come, share which beer, HH snack or entree YOU ordered and tell them you saw it on Yelp!

The pours, the recommendations, the way they talk about the bottles on the shelf, it all shows real skill and pride. The food has been consistently great. We've tried the burgers, the chicken sandwich, the braised short rib, and the crab dip, and every single one has been a hit. Flavorful, well made, and worth coming back for. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again is the pulled pork. It wasn't bad, just not the style or flavor profile I look for in a place like this. Do it.
