This person has taken advantage of two 11 year old girls. They asked to buy pretzel bites and he…read moremade them get a combo with a giant soda that they kept saying they don't want. He kept pushing the combo and refused to return the money when I showed up and asked why they have a huge soda. He said they bought a combo. They explained they just wanted pretzels and he never offered them the price for just pretzels. To make matters worst he pointed to the tip jar and one of the girls felt obligated and left the coins in it. He refused to refund them the extra money. Horrible person, unfair business practices! Will never go back.

The staff was amazing, very helpful with recommendations and even letting us try some samples before we decided on drinks. There was live music too, which was nice. Lots of space too, which is nice for us because our son is on oxygen and we have to bring his stroller in. We tried the pork belly for appetizer, which was delicious and came out on the cutest presentation. We shared the bacon bbq burger and wings. Everything was delicious. We will definitely come back.

I identified The Hop Knot as one of the CT spots hosting a miracle pop up. I was surprised I had…read morenever heard of it because it's a Craft Pretzel and Beer Bar, and that's a unique concept for CT. They have pretzels with dips, gourmet stuffed pretzels, pretzel sandwiches, wings, tenders and fish and chips. The bar was decorated for Christmas and they were serving special holiday drinks in fun Christmas themed mugs. I had the Christmasaurus in a red ceramic dinosaur and my wife had a Butter Rum Mocktail in a winking Santa mug. My drink was tasty and the mugs were fun. We bought a couple of the fun mugs to go. A person who I believe was the owner and the chef, was wearing a Christmas sweater and obviously loves the Christmas theme. Our server who doubled as the bartender was a bit more stoic about the theme. LOL. The food was generally good. It seemed like the pretzels may have picked up another aroma from the kitchen while the pretzels were cooking, because they had a slight aftertaste. Manageable, but not ideal. The pretzels looked great and had good texture. The beer cheese dip and mustard dip were both good. My pretzel stuffed with Mac and Cheese and short rib was good. We also split some holiday snack mix and Carolina BBQ wings. They were probably my favorite part of the meal. 4 Stars. The Hop Knot is definitely a place to check out. I understand that there used to be one in Middletown, CT and one in New Hampshire, although I'm unclear on the relation to the present owners in Portland.
