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

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

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

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 I mentioned we never got the Happy Hour menu, so we looked it up online--only to find their website menus are outdated.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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The atmosphere was excellent with all the bartenders checking in and engaging with us. The food was also really good! If you are wanting to have a beer and food above the typical "bar food", check this place out! 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

Service was not great initially. Took 15 minutes before a server came by. The first 2 beers we asked for they were out of and the soda had no fizz so ordered a lemonade to be safe. Ordered wings, they were Cooke well but had an unusual flavor, assuming it was the beer brine. Wasn't a huge fan. We ordered 2 different burger, medium. Both came unseasoned and very well done. We did say something because they were overpriced and extremely dry. $23 is a lot for a underwhelming burger. They apologized but took nothing off the bill. The French fries were cooked perfectly. I don't think we will be back unfortunately. read more

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

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

Go for the views...not the food or service. I've been many times over the years and it keeps going downhill. The menu has changed yet again...prices are sky high and food is only fair. We just went for lunch with a party of 8...3 of us had a hair in our food, 2 orders weren't right. But we didn't bother saying anything...the only thing worse than the food is the service. Our server was supremely casual, complaining that the chef was only on day two of working there and didn't know what they were doing. All staff was rushed and unfriendly. Not entirely unexpected, as this is the norm for Noble Hops. The location has such potential but never lives up to it. So unfortunate. 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

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

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

Their fish and chips are top. My wife had the charcuterie board and that wasn't impressive. I'll be going back anytime I need a fish fix for sure. Beer was good and service was excellent. read more

The ambiance of our neighborhood bar is great---spectacular views, lights, heaters, large fire pit. The food is quite pricey and not exceptional. The happy hour wine is $9 and it's not a good wine or a good pour. My friends are not happy with the beer selection. We've gone for the lovely outdoor patio and live music. We used to enjoy the music long ago but not thrilled with the last couple of acts we've seen there. The service is hit or miss. Hopefully it improves. Will give it another try in a couple of months or so. read more

Excellent service. My waitress was so kind and prompt. I had the elote bites and Texas Tenderloin. The Elote bites were flavorful and a great serving size for an appetizer. The Texas tenderloin was also delicious but a bit dry, due to the large slices of sourdough and the breaded pork tenderloin (which was also massive, no complaints there). I wish there was a bit more sauce to make it not such a challenge to eat. Otherwise great food, nice outdoor seating area. I enjoyed my time here! read more

We had calamari and salad with calamari and it was over cooked to the point of being hard and crunchy and over seasoned. We ordered the key lime pie to split and it partially frozen. I ordered a beer and it seemed that the third of the draft beers were not available. Very disappointing experience from a usually great restaurant with a lovely patio. read more

I am a part time resident and over the past couple years noble hops was one of my go to places. Due to some circumstances I have not been to town for about a year. Was excited to head to Noble Hops.... Left before I ever received a drink. Bartender was rude ( same gal as over the years),she has just gotten ruder. Hostess was busy talking to a boy and didn't care to help us. The ambiance had changed I.e dirty sticky counter, only a few people that were clearly regulars, it just didn't have that prideful vibe any longer. The food was all changed. The menu only had a couple items and they seemed like low value bar food where before this place had a more bistro/ cool bar food menu. We decided to leave and I am so disappointed as this was such a great little upscale happening bar in the past. I predict they are on their way out. What a shame! read more

We are ex Oro Valley residents who used to love this place. After being gone for three years we stopped for a drink last night. I was surprised that at six on a pleasant Saturday evening it was less than half full. The whole place just looked tired. The woman tending bar was surly and became visibly irritated when asked to wipe the grungy bar top. She wiped part of it then tossed the rag in my wife's direction saying she couldn't reach the rest. Without giving us a chance to order, she stalked off. Needless to say- we left and will not return. Sad how far this place seems to have fallen. Have your bartender look up the definition of hospitality... 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

This place is very mid at best. Lame happy hour with minimal drink discounts. You can get half priced appetizer plates but they are also half sized so that's nothing. Refused to honor the Tucson Foodie discount which was ultimately the only reason I gave this place a second chance. Do NOT recommend. What a waste of time and money. read more

Placed an order through the link on their website for delivery by DoorDash. Ordered a sandwich and fries. Evidently they were out of the sandwich I wanted (pork tenderloin) so they sent two orders of fries. No attempt to contact and was told my problem was with DoorDash so no credit, just my tough luck. Guess the customer is never right. read more
