Wings
Emma D.

Friendly neighborhood bar. I love that I can come here with my friends at night or I can eat with my family in the day. One of our favorite things is the Graunke nachos. Oh my God they are HUGE!! Also a huge fan of the pesto wings, . I've never had a bad experience with the staff here all of the servers are absolutely amazing and very attentive.

Hops Sports Grill - My Go-To Spot! Hops Sports Grill is hands-down my favorite local bar. The servers are always incredibly attentive, kind, and welcoming -- they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The beer selection is huge, with something for every taste, and there's always a game on somewhere, so it's perfect for catching your favorite teams. But the real standout? The food. The menu is loaded with options, and everything I've tried has been excellent. If you go, don't skip the whiskey sauce -- it's legendary. Whether you're grabbing a quick drink, watching a game, or meeting friends for dinner, Hops delivers every time. A true neighborhood gem!

Amazing food, drinks, and staff. Consistently a good time and haven't tried a menu item I dislike. Staff works hard and always take care of you. Good patio spot for dogs too! Our favorite bar Eastside and in general.

BLT

Pretty chill neighborhood bar and grill. Really cool that the drinks are super affordable and also refreshing on a hot summer day. Especially like the sea breeze--an oldie but goodie type of drink for sure. The wings are great too and I like the outdoor seating. Still miss the old Italian restaurant here but Hops doesn't disappoint Especially with quick service and casual dining and drinks.

This is one my favorite spots on the east side of Tucson. It's in a shopping center, so at times it may seem a little difficult to spot, but hey, this is Tucson, lots of things are in shopping centers. We went on Monday night, which meant Monday Night Football was on all the screens, which is why we went here. The screens are well laid out. You won't miss the game. The server was super friendly. She had to clean up a mess at another table left by a departed group that apparently had a lot of mud on their shoes; she apologized six or seven times for taking a few extra minutes to clean up the mess before coming over to the table. (It wasn't an issue for us at all but we appreciate the gesture). The server was super friendly and efficient. There's a great beer list. The menu is fairly extensive and has something for everyone. Their burgers and chicken sandwiches are huge. The beer battered fries are awesome. And the vibe of the place is just super friendly. Big fan. I always look forward to going back.

We had a really good lunch at Hops Sports Grill! We liked the location and inside area with the lively bar and the huge televisions. It is definitely a sports lover's paradise if you want to catch a game. The menu is really extensive so there is something for everyone. For as cheap as it is, you also get a ton of food. We got the BLT and the grilled cheese. Both came with a mountain of fries on the side. The BLT was stacked super high with bacon and we were surprised to see so much for an item that wasn't that pricey. The grilled cheese was awesome and the bread they used was made to perfection. It was a really good grilled cheese. The service was also very nice and kept our drinks filled. If I'm back in Tucson I would come back!

This bar/grill was surprisingly not very busy when we arrived for lunch. It got some busier, but was never packed. We were seated at a large table in the side area and it worked well for our group. Our server was friendly and gave us plenty of time to peruse the menu. I got the grilled fish meal. It came with a side salad, zucchini/corn, and a nice sized piece of white fish. It was all good, although the fish was overcooked and a bit tough. Portions for everyone were generous. If you pay in cash, you get a discount. I chose to do that and gave her some cash. When she returned my change, there were no coins. When I asked about that, she said they don't have coins on them. It wasn't a big deal, but it completely negated the discount for paying cash. To me, that doesn't make sense. If you're offering a discount for paying in cash then you need to give people the complete change they are due.

I tried some new things and was not disappointed. If you come here, you MUST try the mac n cheese balls!!! Just the right amount of spice. So freaking guys. The cheesecrisp was on point, as was the bacon cheeseburger! We sat on the patio, which is OK to bring your dogs. They do have heaters. The wait staff was fabulous. Very laid back atmosphere. We will be coming back here!!!

I'll be back! Great bar Nice people Good food I sat at the bar by myself had an attentive bartender, nice people sitting next to me. Extensive beer selection-delicious Bloody Mary. Plenty of TV's showing every football game playing on Sunday. Go Birds! Yeah we won. It's an East side bar for the East side locals. FYI- my food came out fast. Zero issues.

I could've sworn this was on the east side? Did it move or is it just me?

Low key, no frills, and honestly exactly what we needed. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday…read moreand ended up having a great time just playing free pool and hanging out. It was quiet, music was solid, and being open late is a win when most places are already shutting down. Not a dress-up spot, just a classic pool hall bar where you keep it casual and enjoy your people. No complaints, we had fun.

I was very into the food here. When we first ate here the service was slow and understaffed. We…read morethought it was because it was early lunch, but after a year of coming here, the service has not ever been good. It's been tolerable most of the time, but today was awful. We got there at 4:15. There was one bartender and one table server. The server did not get to us. The bartender took our drinks then food order. 30 minutes after ordering the bartender came back saying their computer went down and asked us what we wanted again. After another 30+ minutes we asked them what the status of our food was. Our order was not even started. No one apologized. No specific wait time. 2 orders ahead of us an hour after we ordered. No warning or we could have ordered a starter. We paid for our drinks and canceled our order. They still did not have more servers working yet. I will not be back. This was their dozenth strike. Too bad. The food is always good. But they never have enough staff. It's clearly deliberate.
