Service took a few minutes to acknowledge people coming in, but the quality was there!! The bartender & security were friendly & upbeat. My drink was excellent & served w/ a lime. The music was well selected & volume was varied depending on which song the bartender liked most. I would 100% revisit this place on a karaoke night. It seems like a wonderful seasoned business! Keep up the awesome environment Captain's Chest!

Tonight my friend and I visited Vinne's Bar in Concord, and our experience with security was deeply…read moreupsetting. During the security screening, our bags were searched and we were patted down, which we understand may be standard procedure. However, the security guard went far beyond what we considered appropriate by squeezing our breasts during the pat-down. We immediately objected and made it clear that we were uncomfortable and felt violated. The guard identified himself as "Natty Martinez" (although we are not sure whether that was his real name). After the incident, we watched other patrons entering the bar and did not observe anyone else being subjected to the same level of physical contact. That left us feeling as though we had been singled out and treated differently. No one should expect to be touched in such an invasive manner simply for entering a bar. Security screenings can be conducted professionally and respectfully. This experience was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our evening. I hope management takes this complaint seriously, reviews any available security footage, and ensures that all security staff are properly trained on appropriate search procedures and respectful treatment of customers.

We originally discovered Hop Grenade when we moved to the neighborhood. As craft beer lovers,…read morefinding a spot within walking distance felt like hitting the jackpot. What started as a convenient local hangout has become one of our favorite places over the last three years. Hop Grenade has truly become a second home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. We love seeing familiar faces and catching up with the regulars. It has such a great community feel that can be hard to find these days. The beer selection is hands down one of the best around, and the prices are hard to beat. I also love that they've expanded their offerings to include wine and wine-based cocktails, which means there's something for everyone. The food is great too! We always look forward to Wing Wednesday, and the flatbreads are one of our go-to orders. One of our favorite things about Hop Grenade is bringing friends and family here when they're visiting from out of town. We recently took some wedding guests to the Thursday night music and market event, and they absolutely loved it. One of them even joked that he was ready to move here after experiencing the atmosphere. That's the kind of place Hop Grenade is...it makes people feel welcome and part of the community right away. Because Hop Grenade has been such a big part of our lives, booking the Tap Bus for our wedding was a no-brainer. It felt special to incorporate something so personal to us into our big day. For those who don't know, Hop Grenade has an awesome vintage VW bus outfitted with taps. Not only did it make for a unique and fun focal point at our wedding, but it also served some of the best beer, cider, seltzer, and wine our guests could ask for. We received so many compliments throughout the night about both the Tap Bus and the drink selection. Justin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish and helped make our wedding even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for a drink, grabbing some food, attending one of their community events, or looking for a unique beverage service for an event, Hop Grenade delivers every time. We're lucky to have them in our community and can't recommend them enough.

I guess I need to put my review in since this gem I was trying to keep to myself has done nothing…read morebut have me crave their menu weekly lol. I'm afraid of sharing their specials that the place will start getting so packed where we can't get a table anymore lol but here it goes. I have came to the Hop Grenade for years and they have never disappointed. Their beers are delicious and always have a great menu to choose from. They have clean accessible bathrooms and parking is hit and miss since it is in the middle of downtown. They do allow dogs but only outside not inside. So they have their wing special on Wednesday's which is the big secret I didn't want to share. One because their wings are the best wings I've ever had. On top of that their flatbread pizza is amazing as well. Like they make their own dough or something. But this is the brewery to hit up if you want some delicious food and great beer. Put it this way, for me the wings and pizza are that good where I order take out lol. Oh ya and their service is top notch.

There was an issue last year where a regular of the bar was taking inappropriate pictures of my friends without their consent and being aggressive when confronted about his behavior.

I love meeting friends here, but it's also one of the few places I genuinely enjoy going by myself because I always end up running into someone I know or meeting someone new while sitting at the big bar. The staff always makes me feel safe and welcome, too. They're always hosting fun events, it's a great place to watch sports, and I love that I can bring my dog along. I know some people are disappointed that Rotator is now required to be 21+ with the addition of wine, something many customers had been been asking for over the years. The owners are parents themselves, so I imagine this wasn't a decision they made lightly. Families with younger kids still have several great brewery options nearby. If you're looking for great beer, wine, friendly people, and a welcoming neighborhood hangout, it's hard to beat.
