    Everyone hyped this place up. Idk. I didn't really get it. It was alright drinks. We got Grandma Apple Pie whiskey drink which consisted of bourbon, lemon, cinnamon, egg whites and pear liqueur. And an old fashioned. Neither of them really stood out. And with the price (which again wasn't too bad compared to other areas), it didn't make it any better. It was pretty early in the night when we got here. Around 9pm I believe and it was just starting to pick up. Service felt more like it was 1am and the bartenders energy felt like they were annoyed and over it. The lower bar was closed to a private party and so everyone had to keep to the bar area and outside patio and we were packed in. It's a great list of whiskey. And I would come back during a less hectic night to try the whiskey and chill out.

    Waffle Fries
    Josh H.

    I ordered Waffle Fries, Buffalo Wings, Cajun French Fries, and Cookie skillet The Waffle fries were hot and crunchy, and the curry ketchup compliments the fries well. I wish it came with more fries for the money. The quantity is like a large fry from Chic fil a. The Cajun Fries were hot and crunchy, the quantity was a good and shareable, the only thing I wish was for another sauce. I would recommend to order these over the waffle fries if you have a group due to the size. But if you're ordering for yourself, waffle fries are better. The Buffalo wings were really good, nice big meaty wings, but for the price it should come with at least 4 more. If you are ordering for yourself, I would recommend these. The Cookie skillet came out nice and hot, it tasted really good. It was really good flavor with a nice vanilla ice cream on top. I would recommend to order this if you're sharing this for 2 people. All of the drinks were nice and cold, overall I would recommend to come here. Overall I gave it a 4 star because of the quantity of food for the prices. The ambiance is nice and casual with good music. The service was great and got my food fast.

    Beer: Hanger 24 Chocolate Bomber Porter - It's rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying. At 8.0% ABV, it delivers a bold kick without overwhelming the chocolatey malt profile. The roasted cocoa notes are well-balanced with a subtle bitterness, making each sip feel indulgent but drinkable. I won't mind if this is my "go-to" when going back. Service: It's pretty straightforward. You walk up to the bar and order your drink. People go around to clear the empty tables, but the place is overall pretty laid back. Ambiance: It's on the darker end for bars that offer an outdoor patio, which many guests prefer. The center of the bar doubles as a dance floor, given the DJ booth that was unoccupied when I was there. I positioned myself in the quieter 3rd segment with tables to sit and chat with friends.

    Nicole the manager was absolutely amazing! I ended up having my pilot graduation party here, super last minute with over 30 people in attendance due to another restaurant falling through on their end last minute. Nicole was so amazing accommodated us with no problem! Was allowed to keep a cake in the refrigerator, put up some decorations, she reserved multiple tables in the downstairs area for us, everyone enjoyed their drinks/food and it had great music throughout the night! We had a wonderful time. I will definitely be recommending others here in the future and will be back with other events as well! Thank you so much Nicole! You made a memorable night for me and my friends to celebrate!

    Hamburger sliders
    Ana B.

    Our favorite dish were the bacon wrapped dates. The presentation isnt great but they are sooo good. The hamburger sliders were ok; they were just sliders, no extra flar. The heart attack fries with chicken were good but were overpowered by the chicken. It was more chicken than fries. We are locals and have gone multiple times. The food can be hit or miss but we'll have it every now and then.

    Hopscotch hosted our 20 year high school reunion. We couldn't have picked a better venue! We all had a blast! The event coordinator (Nicole) was super easy to work with. She was very accommodating and responsive. She catered to our group's dietary needs and even played a playlist we put together. The bar itself was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and it was very spacious for our group. We loved the overall vibe, the drinks, and the delicious food. Additionally, the staff were all very friendly and treated our group well. We highly recommend this bar for group events! I can't wait to come back!

    Came here for a friend's birthday and had a great time. The music was great, the food was great, and the drinks were great. This is definitely a good spot to hang out at.

    Want huge selection of drinks? Want a special tavern ambiance? Want a good beer? Want attentive service? Come by!

    Most of the staff at Hopscotch Craft Beer and Whiskey were polite and professional, which made one server's behavior stand out even more--in the worst way possible. She was extremely rude, dismissive, and openly condescending, acting as if customers were an inconvenience and beneath her. When I asked a simple question about a drink, she clearly didn't want to answer, responded with attitude, and showed zero effort or professionalism. Her behavior was unacceptable and completely out of place in a service industry. One bad employee like this can ruin an otherwise good establishment. Management needs to take this seriously, because no customer should be treated with this kind of disrespect.

    Great spot for dinner, drinks, late night bite, date night, hang out with friends or dancing. The place is great with a little bit of everything for everyone. The whisky and mixed drinks and the food was all great and with a very nice variety. The service from the bartenders to the servers to the security/ door staff was also on point. There's all night free parking at the nearby parking structure or at the back parking lot until 9pm. After 9pm you have to pay.

    Came here on a Friday night around 7pm. We came for a birthday party, the manager was very kind in offering the birthday boy a drink on the house. DJ set was good later in the night. Reason I give Hopscotch 2 stars is my husband has celiac, so he cannot eat gluten. When asking how they can accommodate they could only offer him a lettuce wrap burger for $20. If you have celiac, you know how frustrating that is because not only does a lettuce wrap burger not fill you but it's usually one piece of lettuce on a patty. It is 2024... many people have dietary restrictions and the fact Hopscotch doesn't have options is disappointing. Not sure if we would come back. If you have dietary restrictions do not come here.

    Hopscotch Tavern is located in downtown Fullerton and it's a really cute bar. I ordered the Strawberry Sunset (Mule Cocktail) and it was pretty good. It was a bit strong for me but overall not bad. I want to try their other cocktails on the menu the next time I go. We sat in the patio area and it was so nice. The bar is very big overall but I would recommend sitting outside on the patio. It's pretty loud inside with all the music but they have seating inside too. The patio was pretty crowded but it was so pretty with the lights and loved the vibes. I would totally recommend hopscotch for a date night or just a gathering with friends.

    Ask the Community - Hopscotch Tavern

    Is it dog friendly?

    Definitely!

    I'm 20 but if i were to come at 8 with some friends will i get kicked out or would i be able to stay?

    Can I bring my own cigars?

    You certainly can!

    Is the place kid friendly?

    Yes it is! Switches to 21 and over after 9PM.

    What time do you open for brunch?

    12PM on Saturdays and Sundays

    How much is brunch?

    I'd assume it would be available on the menu, but as an estimate about $15-$20 per person w/tip and if you go lite on the beverages. 😏

    What are the vegetarian options for entrees? I don't see any

    Honestly the menu does change - slightly on occasion. With that being said, your best bet would be to ask your server, or call ahead.

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    Yes, for Saturday and Sunday brunch hours!

    Do they still do brunch?

    Yes, and bottomless mimosas!!

    Is this place dog-friendly?

    Perhaps on the patio? You'd have to ask in person. I did see a bowl of water set out on patio at Slidebar next door once!

    Is there WiFi service for customers ? I need to arrange a business meeting there. Thank you

    There is WiFi for customers, yes! Just ask a staff member when you are there!

    What time do they stop serving food?

    Sunday-Thursday last call for food is 9:45pm Friday and Saturday last call for food is 10:45pm

It has this dark but classy aesthetic and I was not prepared for that (in a good way). This restaurant has been here for about 2 years with different ownership and menu so I was excited to see what they had to offer. Hugo helped us with our order and he was very friendly and professional. We went ahead and ordered the ahi tuna taco, pork belly bao, garlic fries, the margharita pizza, the yuzu lobster pasta, and for drinks I got the virgin burning thyme. My friend got that and other drinks as well. Ahi tuna taco - 5/5 probably the best food item for the evening. The tuna was fresh, perfect amount of kick in its sauce, and the outter shell was perfectly crunchy. I think them replacing the shell with wonton was exceptional with the texture. Every bite was extremely satisfying. Pork Belly bao - 4/5 everything was delicious. The bow itself is bouncy and moist. There wasn't anything special about the sauce inside with the pork belly, but I would definitely give it a try at least once. A great portion with your friends or family as an appetizer. Garlic fries - 3/5 It was a bit underwhelming, but nothing horrible. I could not taste the garlic at all, but the fries itself was cooked to perfection with the outer being pretty crispy and inside being soft. Margharita pizza - 4/5 I really like the crust and the breading of this pizza. It was crispy and the pepperoni was cooked to perfection. I really like the small pepperoni because it gives an immense amount of flavor in each bite. The cheese and the tomato sauce was fine, but nothing special. Yuzu lobster pasta - 4/5 I wish I was able to taste more of the Yuzu since that's in the name of the dish, but I could not. If it was just called the lobster pasta I would say it's amazing. The tomatoes were perfect to lighten the entire dish with the heavy sauce and the pasta. The lobster was cooked fine. Other than that it was fine, but I would say either enhance the Yuzu flavor or remove it in the name of the dish. Burning thyme - 4.5/5 I really like the acid and the balance of sweetness and sour in this drink. Usually, I get skeptical when I make an alcoholic drink version because the bartender tends to over sweeten the drink, but this was not the case, and I enjoyed it a lot with our food.

My first visit was a few months ago, and I felt like I was bothering our server for water refills, napkins and other things. It was a Saturday night and while it was not packed, it took about an hour to get 2 panini's. Went today for my birthday, and my adult son told the server that the three of us were sitting on patio. Server shows up with 2 menus and 2 glasses for water. Sees me and scolds my son for not telling her that there was a third person. She brings a 3rd glass but never a 3rd menu. I specifically mention that we are here for happy hour specials. There is only 1 other table occupied, otherwise it's empty. We wait over 20 minutes to place our order. 1 personal board supposed to be $10. Plus (2) panini's. Wait another 30+ minutes... get our food and that's it. No check in - no water refills. My son goes and gets the server for a box and to order another personal board. We wait another long period to get it. I go inside to taste some cheese. We add on something to our bill. It was $104... I do some quick math and assume the price is because of the cheese I added to the bill. I add a tip on the lowish side, because we didn't really get any "service" to be worth the $18 I added onto it. I get home to review the receipt... and was charged $20 for the personal boards + the add ons... I am so let down. I spent $130 and didn't get awesome service or the happy hour discount. I was expecting to pay $50-$60 ish, and this caught me off guard. I have learned my lesson and won't be going back.
