So much that comes out of this kitchen is phenomenal tasting. Flavors play so well in brilliant ways. If you can sit at the bar and watch the action in the kitchen it's the best! Great new beers always rotating! read more

This location has an excellent patio when the weather is good to sit outside. The happy hour is really good and the drinks are also good as well as the selection of beers. I would recommend trying the pretzel with cheese if you do have an option of trying a snack, they actually have a pretty extensive menu! read more

Went to lunch with a friend at my suggestion. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre and expensive for what you received...the service was good and the atmosphere was just okay. What really disappointed me, though, was the lack of cleanliness. The condiment caddy was visibly dirty...the mustard bottle had dried mustard around the cap, and the pepper shaker was so caked with who-knows-what that I couldn't even get any pepper out. The restaurant had only a few guests, so it certainly wasn't a matter of the items just coming from another table. The walls were dirty as well, and so was the glass on the entry door. These may seem like small details, but they make a big impression. Basic cleanliness and attention to these simple details should be a priority, especially in a restaurant. read more

Service was slow, and the indoor seating area is absolutely charmless. Outdoors looked pretty nice, but there was a loud band, and we wanted to talk. The meatloaf sandwich was so-so. The piece of meatloaf was too small for the bread and it wasn't very thick. Our server was good, but obviously very busy. I hear this place was recently bought by a chain. It shows. read more

We stopped by the patio for a nightcap and had a great time. Service was awesome and the vibes were fun. Would recommend!

My friend suggested this place as she's been before and said it as good. She works in the food industry so I trust her judgement. I always look at reviews prior to trying restaurants and the mixed bag of reviews had me on edge. We went on a Saturday evening around 6pm and it wasn't very busy, we were seated right away and the service was QUICK we had water right away, we were busy talking and didn't even look at the menu when our waitress came by. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the fish and chips, both were solid. They do have some steep pricing but the fish and chips was definitely worth the price point it had the largest side of coleslaw I've ever seen and it has a nice dill flavor to it and my friend said the fish was cooked well. My Buffalo chicken burger was done well and flavorful, it was on the verge of being over cooked but it wasn't and wasn't dry but wasn't juicy. A combo with the sauces and veggies on it I thought it was great. Overall service and food were solid! I'd go back! read more

Nice spot. Cocktails pricey - only happy hour deal for cocktails was the cocktail of the day (or maybe month). Food ridiculously expensive - $24 for nachos. I don't think we'll be back but glad we tried as waitstaff were friendly. read more

We frequently pop in to this restaurant after playing pickleball across the street at OVCC and absolutely love the vibe on their patio. It's a perfect place to unwind after a long day and the food is really good. Tonight we split the blueberry goat cheeseburger, which was absolutely fantastic, and their fries never disappoint. I enjoyed a nice glass of Cabernet as we sat at a patio high top and played cards. The servers are friendly and eager to help... And overall great experience read more

Sat immediately, outside. Severer was fast and knowledgeable of the drink menu. We had the Brat and truffle fries, no complaints. It's just a brat but still hit the brat craving. Company with us had a burger which was on point! Will return to try more on the menu! read more

This place has potential, but the service is painfully slow, and the food is disappointing. We went this past Thursday on a beautiful evening, hoping to enjoy the patio and watch the much-talked-about great horned owl nest. Happy Hour runs from 4 to 6 p.m., and we arrived around 5:15. We were seated outside right away and asked for the Happy Hour menu, but it never came. After about 15 minutes, we finally got water, only to be told by the server that it wasn't her section. Ten minutes later, the same server returned to take our order since others were too busy. I mentioned we never got the Happy Hour menu, so we looked it up online--only to find their website menus are outdated. At this point, it was almost laughable. She eventually brought the menu, and we placed our order. When cashing out, we asked for a printed receipt, which we never received. The only positives were the patio music and watching the owls. Sadly, this place is wasting its potential, and we won't be back. read more

Hubby and I hadn't been to noble hops for at least 3 years because of service, food and management! Well that all changed on Friday. Some friends decided to eat there and I'm glad we joined. The new menu was great and the customer service was very attentive. We met Dan the general manager, he was very nice and we had a great conversation with him. Definitely will be back. read more

The patio views were lovely, but that's about where the good ended. We ordered frozen lavender margaritas and got them on the rocks instead -- they tastes overly syrupy and not great. Our waitress was very nice (it was her first day), but she didn't know the drink of the day and accidentally brought the wrong ones. We're on a mission to try pretzels all over town, and theirs were described as "baked fresh in-house." Apparently, that means popping open a can of Pillsbury baguettes and calling it a pretzel. Bold choice, but not a good one. read more

I really want to love this place, but the last few times I've been in, it hasn't been up to par. Which is a bummer because I think the location and concept have a lot of potential. The service is hit or miss depending on who's working. The food is good, but I don't think it's worth the price. The views from the patio are an easy sell, but be prepared to suffer in service. I usually sit at the bar for this reason. I have high hopes for this place and really hope the new owners can turn this place around! read more

Sitting at the great in/out bar eating a wonderful bacon cheeseburger. My thirst made me run out of my draft beer. Being an aged Irishman of course I slid me empty to the bars edge. So our good friend tending the bar would notice. why did it take him till well after I finished my perfect burger to refill me glass? Was the bar packed? No. Was he slammed? No. But here's the telling one, was he alone? Yes! Thoughts? Should I be more patient? Was the bartender not prioritizing? Mgmt setting him up for failure? I'll definitely be back to get to the bottom of this mystery while enjoying those excellence burgers and crisp beer! read more

This used to be my favorite place. I grew up around the corner and have been going since they opened. The last two visits I have been turned away upon entering saying the kitchen is closed when we're hours from their posted closing time. Not sure if they want to stay in business but they've lost mine. They're over priced and have unpredictable menu/food. I came for the memories and ambiance. They've ruined that... read more

Remember when this place had heart? I remember. This place has lost its soul ever since it got bought out. It's a gastropub, but that's not how it's being run. There is almost no warmth of sense of community left here Hours are atrocious. Food quality has gone down. And the poor workers that have remained are so severely overworked and overwhelmed that they no longer even have the bandwidth to nurture relationships with their regulars. You know... the people that ultimately bring more people in read more

One server for entire place. And will not accept cash. Server was great, just mid-management.

The patio is such a nice area to sit and watch the sunset while enjoying a beautiful view of the mountains. The food itself is decent, though a little on the higher side that I can't exactly justify for some of the items on the menu. However, our server was great and I ended up getting the P.L.T. which was a decent sandwich. The star of the show, though, were the truffle fries which I truly think were the best part of the meal. I'd be interested in splitting a few appetizers and fries next time I go instead of a sandwich or burger. I also tried the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake, which was decent but again had a higher price point than I thought it would. Overall, the atmosphere is really enjoyable but be prepared to spend a pretty penny! read more

Gave Noble one more try but, like the past, service is lacking and food is just OK. The great patio cannot overcome those issues.

Super fun happy hour with the yoga pals! Tasty apps--.crispy cauliflower, spinach wontons and soft pretzel bites with cheese sauce. A tasty red lager on draft and a grain bowl (tahini dressing was a bit...sweet?) rounded out the mix! Great service chill vibe & lots of laughter! My first time there won't be my last! read more

Hate the new menu and they are so slow. I ordered a lemon drop martini which I've had there before they were taken over. Tonight came with no sugar rim or lemon wedge. I returned it and now been told they are out of martini glasses lol Been here 20 mins and still not got my drink. Finally got after 31mins and they are not busy!! read more

Beeen here a number of times both with old management and more recently new - all bad. First time was drinks only and my vodka tonic wasn't tonic at all, floors were dirty, wait staff was just hanging around. They offered to remake my drink but I just wanted out of the slippery floor dining room. Subsequent visits were for wings and both times made us sick (notably this time 10 wings were $22). Three strikes and we will not be going back. read more

Decided to try giving this place another chance. $80 before tip for 2 appetizers and 4 drinks......absurd.

Service was great. Beer selection was good. Patio is perfect on a nice day. Even saw a mama owl with her babies!!! read more

We came here during Christmas break and it was middle of the afternoon. Had a good amount of people there, but they only had two servers and they were really overwhelmed. It took at least 15 minutes for us to get our draft beers and they left off items that we added to our order, unfortunately they I don't think are as good as they used to be. If they had more staff that could be attentive and get you drinks and whatever you needed in a timely fashion and maybe had better options on their menu it would be worth a try, but at this point I wouldn't recommend going. read more

We came in for some apps and drinks after a hike over at Catalina state park and the food and drinks here did not disappoint! The views are really nice as well from the patio. The service was great! Our waiter gave us time but was also attentive and fast. Love love love this place. We will be back! read more

Enjoyed Noble Hops tonight and it was great! The service by Amber was attentive and not annoying, the patio is spectacular, and the live music was eclectic and fun. The cauliflower is super tasty and the sliders awesome as well. Dan, the manager, was also great about checking in and ensuring everything was going well. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I'm so sad. It'd be a stretch to say The Wife & I moved to Tucson for Noble Hops, but our visit in December, 2020, certainly made the relocation easier. As I said then, we looked forward to this becoming "one of our future favorite haunts;" alas, that's not to be. Subsequent visits have been spotty, at best; after tonight, we won't be back. When The Wife suggests Noble Hops, I'm not "excited," but it's something to look forward to. We arrive around 6:00P; there're folks spread across the bar & patio, but it's not crowded. As we stand for several minutes at the door, I notice the cook glaring from the kitchen window, and I wonder if I'd kicked his dog. The bartender glances several times, but I figure he's near-sighted because he doesn't smile, nod or otherwise acknowledge us. I say to The Wife, "If someone doesn't talk to us soon, I'm out" and indicate The Cook & The Barkeep. A young man stumbles by with a tray loaded down by a half-dozen glasses of tepid-looking water. "Outside or in?" he demands. The Wife sings, "Outside, please." The Kid grumbles, "Grab a seat, and someone'll follow with menus." It's dusk and not yet February. We grab a table near the gravel fire pit and a space heater, both of which are off. The Barkeep shows up with paperwork -- Noble Hops' menu is now a spiral-bound book with tabs for food, drink, kids, etc -- and says he'll bring water. The Wife'll be chilled as soon as the sun's set, so I ask about the space heater. He replies with something about the fire pit. We're waiting for drinks, and I notice The Kid, The Barkeep and a well-endowed waitress seem to be the only people working the floor. The Waitress looks to be on the fifty side of forty, and her endowments struggle to stay inside her spaghetti-strapped v-neck. Other than the two TVs over the bar, there's no other obvious entertainment. Tables, chairs, floor, all have that almost-grimy Tucson winter look, and I'm careful what I touch. The Wife thinks the "Squid Pro Quo" salad sounds funny & interesting. "Can I have the dressing on the side?" Some back-&-forth, and The Barkeep says, "I don't know why the menu still says citrus mint vinaigrette; we don't have that any more." The Wife settles on a balsamic reduction, and I make things easy by ordering fish & chips with fries & coleslaw. The Wife's drinking Free Wave Hazy Non-Alcoholic IPA (which strikes me funnier than "Squid Pro Quo"); I order a pint of Paperback Brewing's Satan Wears Pajamas Bourbon Barrel-Aged Amber. Service is fairly prompt, but the ale is (like most things Southern Californian) unimpressive. The sun's full down; neither fire is lit. I toy with taking matters into my own hands but instead go to the car for The Wife's coat. I drop it off for her, head for a pit stop and make sure to not touch anything in the restroom. Ick. I avert my eyes on my way back as The Waitress bends over to serve drinks to another couple. Double Ick. My glass is half-empty when the food arrives, which would be a great time for The Barkeep to offer another; he sets the plates down and leaves. The Wife's stabbing past the squid (breaded & over-cooked calamari) asking, "Do you see any avocado?" I squint. "Nope." Seems to have escaped with the citrus mint vinaigrette. The "Arugula and Arcadian mixed greens" look like they were poured out of last week's Costco bag, and The Wife practically spits out the over-ripe (i.e., "rotten") tomato. Three or four bites, and she pushes the plate away. The batter-fried cod is more batter than cod, greasy & lukewarm; the fries are as cold as the very saucy coleslaw. Thumbs up for the tablespoon of bottled tarter sauce; no ketchup for the fries. I can't help thinking how far Noble Hops has fallen from the ahi steak BLT, brewer's board & fish tacos of our first visit, and, while The Barkeep seems nice, I'm not asking him to recommend anything. The Barkeep wants to know how everything is. Instead of lying, we ask about the still-unlit fire pit. He says, "Oh, yeah," and finally agrees to bring another ale; it arrives with a large ragged chip in the rim of the glass. Some other guy gets the heat going, but that doesn't help the meal much. The Wife's completely given up on the "salad," most of my fries are still on the plate. The Barkeep brings the tab, and I nearly choke: $89!!! Best thing we can say is, "The Waitress didn't spill anything." Not for lack of trying and at least not while we were there. Very sad. We won't be back. read more

Worst experience here ever. Waitress was horrible. We got food and part of it wrong long before we got the drinks. The bartender was waitressing her own tables and didnt care and our waitress wasn't getting it done and blaming her. Food is not gastropub but low grade bar food. This was one of our fav restaurants when we moved here in 2021 not anymore read more

Make sure you don't go when they are slammed it will take a while for them to serve you. Aside from that I really haven't had a bad experience. The views of the Catalina mountains from the patio are stunning. Food is always on point, you can't beat the truffle fries either. My favorite drink is the sweet tea old fashioned. read more

I came here for happy hour last weekend with a group of friends and thought both sangrias were pretty good.

We decided to give Noble Hops a try tonight, and we're very glad we did. We split the Fish and Chips, which was plenty for us and quite tasty. The 28 beers and ciders on tap provided a varied selection to choose from. We will need to return to try some of the others. Surprised when we walked in and saw there were only 2 diners sitting inside at the bar, and everyone else was on the patio. We typically eat inside because the temperature falls dramatically after sunset. However, Noble Hops has more than enough heaters on their patio to ensure you won't be chilled. We were treated to a panoramic view of the Catalina Mountains at sunset which never disappoint. We shall return! read more

First off, the server Bri (or bree or however you spell it) WAS AMAZING!! Only reason I enjoyed my meal, was her service and she definitely deserves a raise. I got fish as it's listed many times on the menu, the fish was bland, very unseasoned, and fell apart like it had been frozen for a very long time. The service was top notch and is the reason they get some stars. Nice people, mediocre food read more

I liked the ambiance over anything else. Sitting outside under the heater and close to the fire with live music playing really enhanced everything else. Dancing to the music was delightful. The beer aspect was annoying, the ones I wanted to try was out. The one I ended up getting was good. The server tried her best to help me. The food itself was good. Not a lot of choices to pick from. I got the truffle fries which was good. Nothing bad about them. The sherpards pie was good. I really liked the potatoes and spices on top. The meat and veggies was okay, I wish it had more veggies. My boyfriend got the honey salmon and he loved it. Would return for sure. read more

I understand things are expensive but yikes the prices here are . The nachos are $21 for the base and promises a pound of nachos. That is not what we received. As my husband said "there were less than 21 chips on the plate". Add grilled chicken for $8 and you receive 4 small strips of chicken. read more

I've only been to Noble Hops a few times, since it's quite the hike from my house, but every experience has been great. Last night we stopped in to check out Sonoran Restaurant Week, and the special menu did not disappoint! The elote appetizer was beautifully presented and flavorful, although it would have been more user-friendly if it were served off the cob. My Sonoran Dog was delicious and my friend's barbacoa also very tasty. I'm not a huge rice pudding fan, but theirs was perfectly sweetened with a nice texture, and i actually liked it a lot. The Mexican hot chocolate cookie that accompanied the pudding was next-level good. it was a busy night, but our food came out fast and our server was friendly. read more

Loved the view, it's captivating! We came here on a Sunday afternoon and they have a performer at the patio. It kinda makes up for the slow service. We waited for our appetizer for more than 30 mins and another 30 mins for our main course, as well. But I have to admit, food wasn't too bad. They have a small menu, though and lots of choices on the drinks. They are pet friendly, that's why we choose this place. read more

Went to this place with my family (5 of us). I know it was happy hour but my husband ordered a beer and it came in a glass filled halfway. After we said something the waitress said they ran out but never offered him another just made him pay for a full beer that it wasn't. Then we get to food and my sister in law can't have gluten(reason we ate there) she ordered a burger with gluten free bun. Her burger comes with lettuce ad the bun because they were out of gluten free buns. Never told her and didn't give her a choice to say if she still wanted it or something else. A little disappointed in our whole dinner experience there. Outside seating was the best part. read more

Noble hops has gone down hill. We went for happy hour - not much of one. Appetizers are small portions and outrageously expensive. 3 small pretzel bites for $5, the hummus was absolutely horrendous. We sent that back. We ordered the nachos and it was $25!!!!! we were so shocked that asked if we were charged correctly. Not worth it - small portion, wierd sauce and goat cheese. So bizarre. Never again. read more

Hello, so I rarely leave reviews and I've left maybe one in the past five years. Unfortunately, this recent experience warrants one, and not for good reason. My dad and I both ordered cheeseburgers, he preferred a medium well burger and I preferred medium. What we received were two very overcooked burgers, both well done, without question. On top of that, the burger arrived without lettuce, tomato, or onion. Which are the basic ingredients I'd expect by default. I had to ask for each one individually which was a pain. When I requested a new burger cooked medium, they took both my plate and fries. Oddly, the fries came back first, with the server saying the burger would follow. A few minutes later, the replacement burger arrived and again, it was well done. At that point, I was too tired to keep sending food back so ate it. Not that tasty at all. As a final frustration, I was charged extra for a side of BBQ sauce. That just added to an already disappointing experience. Overall, the food was a letdown for my entire party, and we won't be returning to eat there. The drinks were fine, but that was the only redeeming part of the visit. read more
