    Instant Karma pizza using #pizzapassport. Seemed like it could have cooked a bit longer. Foldable, but messy. Greek salad was very good, and seriously huge! Beets are very good. Raspberry and Cascadia Amber Ale were what you'd expect. You order food and drinks separately. They bring the food to you after ordering and paying. Drinks are ordered and paid for at the bar. Lots of choices.

    "Can't Get Enough" Pizza. Cannot recommend enough

    The beer is delicious and there is a nice variety. The bartender and guys working the kitchen were all incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful. The service was great. The pizza is absolutely incredible. The atmosphere/ambiance is top-tier. The music choice was also amazing and a breath of fresh air.

    If you want a good Brick Oven Pizza.... Head Across the River to Hopskeller in Waterloo, Il. Didn't feel like cooking so headed uptown!! Make your own or pick a specialty!!! They also have Awesome Appetizers and great Craft Beers and drinks!!! Fast Service and always a great atmosphere!!! Live Music too!! Make your own: Pepperoni and Mushroom!!! Raspberry Ale to wash it down.... With the Pizza Passport it was only $8 Stop #4

    This is the second time I have been here but the first time having their pizza. I highly recommend their pizza. I got the karma pizza but by the descriptions, all sounded fabulous. I added balsamic glaze drizzle on mine and wished I had asked for extra but I'm a vinegar freak. :) My husband enjoyed a flight and I enjoyed my margarita. We will definitely return to this brewery when we are in the area.

    Salted Caramel White Russian- delicious!

    We stopped by last weekend for some cocktails and their menu did not disappoint! I first tried the Caramel Apple Cider slushy and it was perfectly caramel and apple flavored while still being refreshing and not too sweet. I also had a salted caramel White Russian, which was so delicious. Finally, I had the Blackberry Pom-arita, which was a beautiful color and tasted great as well. The interior is very warm and inviting (and historic) and it was hopping on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and all of the bartenders were friendly and helpful.

    Great beer, great tasting pizza but it took over 90 minutes to get two pizzas, and it wasn't even that crowded. You ever go to a restaurant and see somebody come in and sit down after you. And then you see them get served. Several tables were served for us. I mean come on. It was only two pizzas. Really disappointed. Yes, the server offered a couple of free beers, but we wanted food. I think maybe the service could take a few lessons from Domino's Pizza about getting food out faster.

    Fat Bottomed Girl pizza

    Great spot in a historic building in Waterloo. Seating at the bar, in the main dining room, or bar seats and a few tables upstairs. Order drinks at the bar and food in the room next door. Take your number and have a seat. Food will be brought out when it's ready. Bartender was busy but quick and accommodating. Food came out quickly, salads, the apps, then pizza. Got a beer flight of six - liked 5 of the 6 and the sixth was still ok. Creamy Peach Ale Northern England Brown Ale Chestnut Ale Moi gate Porter Bluegrass Breeze American Wheat Ale Market Cross London Lager The Hopskeller salad was super large! Very good Tenderloin Skewers had great flavor and enough to share. I would have liked the meat more rare but that is a personal preference. We ordered the Fat Bottomed Girls pizza and the Beast of Burden. I really enjoyed both. Plenty of toppings and great crust flavor. I really like the use and naming of other local places on the menu. Small businesses supporting each other is such a great thing to see. Matt, the owner, stopped at our table to see how things were and we all had a nice chat. Very cool! He liked that the six couples all came together with our Pizza Passports. We had a great time and will go back, for sure

    Born To Be Wild Pizza
    James W.

    Went to Hopskeller on a whim for a Friday lunch and it definitely did not disappoint. Hopskeller has a great atmosphere in an awesome historic building, but the pizzas are the real star. We had four awesome pizzas that made our lunch experience and frankly our day! We had the "Just What I Needed with ranch dressing and chicken, the "Sweet Child O' Mine" which awesomely combines pesto, pepperoni, red peppers, and balsamic glaze, the "Paradise City" which slaps with prosciutto, bacon, pineapple and Bee Sting honey, and the "Born to Be Wild" which delivers on a meat medley. Their Northern English Brown Ale was outstanding and their beer is always solid. My only complaint is that they don't have experimental taps more often. If your bear Waterloo, Hopskeller is a must stop!

    The bar

    great place, knowledgeable staff. buffet is kinda weird, not sure how it works. pizza and soup and salad. the craft cocktails are great. bartender is super helpful. sports on the tv's has an upstairs as well.

    See all

    We waited for over an hour for our pizza. Other people who arrived after us were served BEFORE us. Figure it out people.

    Do they offer gluten free pizza crust?

    Hello Abby! Currently, we do not offer gluten free pizza crust. With the amount of semolina used in the kitchen and around the oven, it would be difficult to create genuinely gluten free pizzas. However, if a patron brings us a crust that they like… Read more

I haven't had a bad one yet, and I've tried anything from IPAs to seasonals. The burger with BBQ also did not disappoint! The fries are some of the best I've had in STL. I did wish there were more of them, but it's probably best for me to not have an endless amount. Every time we have gone, the servers and bartenders have been attentive and friendly.
