Hop & Vine has become my go-to spot when I'm in the mood for someone to make a charcuterie board…read morefor me. I love putting together boards at home, but there's just something that hits different when it's done for you. They also have cheeses and meats that I wouldn't normally have access to, which makes it more special. I also LOVE that the charcuterie board comes with both mustard and honey: underrated but very important. I also got a red wine flight and let the server choose the specific wines for us. I still ended up falling back on a classic Cab as my favorite, but it was cool to try a few different ones, rank them, and then realize our rankings shifted the more we kept sipping lol. We also got the rosemary & prosciutto pizza, which looks pretty unassuming at first but is actually so good. Pro-tip: save the extra crust and use it with your charcuterie. It basically becomes a fluffy cracker for all the extra meats, cheeses, and spreads on your plate. Overall, this is one of those easy, reliable spots that feels a little elevated without trying too hard. Perfect for a relaxed night where you just want to snack, sip, and hang out.

After a short wait on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender allowed us to taste a few beers on the menu that caught my eye. The cider (for you non beer drinking folk) was dangerously delicious and I really enjoyed their "fruited sours" line. Definitely would come back to relax at this location.

From the outside, it looks like a small church, and inside it feels like a greenhouse. Unfortunately, the service was pretty disappointing. We were seated right away, but no one came by to take our order. After waiting for a while, my husband ended up going to the bar to order directly from the staff at the front. The wine itself was also just okay and was served fairly warm. Not sure if that was intentional, but it wasn't what we expected.

We wanted to order the cheesy pizza, but the waitress mistakenly brought out a charcuterie board instead. When we pointed it out, there wasn't really an offer to send it back or comp it, so we just decided to take it to go and ordered the pizza afterward. Since we were taking the charcuterie with us, we asked for a bag to carry everything. The waitress came back with gallon-sized Ziploc bags, which honestly felt a little weird and kind of summed up the experience.

I've been here times innumerable. I was frequenting here back when it was still Forager, and then…read morechanged hands during Covid to what it is today. And after all this time, so little has been done to improve the space, so I have to slam you for your mismanagement of a great venue. Yes, you are creating space for so many niche hobbies. You're creating community for a crowd I resonate with. But goddamn, you're really shooting yourselves in the foot still. Problems that need to be addressed: 1. If you're booked for a private event, you NEED to declare it to the public. Don't make me walk up intending a night with friends, only to be turned away because you found a better way to make money. Like how hard is it to have an instagram, or a website with an events page (you DO, omfg, USE it) and warn folks. I would say only about half of the private bookings are declared currently; which is absolutely pathetic. Imagine how many people you're pissing off aside from me. How do you expect to cultivate customer loyalty this way? 2. Your restroom facilities..... it's like what you find in a derelict stadium from the 60s. My god. It's gross in there. A huge update is needed. But I guess you're holding out hope that facility can be booked by Hollywood for it's next horror-slasher scene. 3. Your bar program. Are you serious? The same cocktails and same EXACT beers on rotation since you first opened years ago. You're in the heart of the beer capital--SJ use to have 20+ breweries until COVID and Gen-X+Alpha killed it. With all these amazing local producers, you do nothing to support them and source beers that people would love to try. The lack of a bar program is abysmal. Forget missing out on pleasing your patrons with amazing choices. Think about how much money you could be making. I look at your space, the amount of traffic you're getting; and all I see is how you utterly dropped the ball. Talk to any restaurateur/entrepreneur, and they'll tell you how massively you're dumping potential profits. Amongst the various communities that frequent your joint, we all openly hate your bar, and wish it could be expanded: both in size to reduce lines during peak hours and more offerings 4. Acoustics. You've done very little to dampen echo in a building with nothing but hard surfaces. There's never truly a sense of comfort since our ears are constantly assaulted. While there are many other issues, these are the most critical that need to be corrected. The amount of people that I've brought here and met randomly always share the same conclusion: this place is cool, but it could be so much better. As courtesy and creating space for communities that need it, I'll remove this review if you at least address half the issues. We all like you. But just do BETTER. You don't even have to do it for us. Trust me, you'll make more money.
