The Hops Spot

Awesome, that is the only way I can describe my experience at this nice little restaurant. I ordered off their menu and received more than I expected. The burger was cooked just like I liked it medium mooooo. When I have a chance to visit Syracuse again, my first stop is to the Hops Spot, and when asked, I'll tell everyone about this place. Also, don't get me started on the beer list. I haven't seen a selection like this since my time spent in Germany.

the food, service, and atmosphere was amazing! the poutine was delicious, and the service was exceptional and super friendly. the atmosphere was nice and modern. a great place to eat!

The Hop Spot is such a fun place to hang out! I loved the cornhole setup in the back, and the old-school games inside made it even better. The food was amazing my burger with extra bacon was absolutely scrumptious! 🍔 The IPA and cider drinks were top-notch too. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax, play, and enjoy good food and drinks. Definitely recommend! The cauliflower bites were amazing!!

Foods awesome. Nice place. Tons of draft beer options. Had the colonel mustard fries. They were bomb. Can't wait to come back and try something else

The atmosphere is fun and spacious. We came for a late lunch and enjoyed seeing how many people were there mid-day; we need more places where people can socialize and talk to others! The decor is fun and has personality. The menu is meticulously labeled for dietary restrictions. The appetizers are perfectly portioned and can be used as a meal, if preferred, depending on what you get. I got the hot honey chicken bites, made with artfully rolled gluten free flour and it was DELIGHTFUL. They also have many salad, sandwich and poutine options. I can't wait to go again!

We stopped in for late afternoon drinks on Christmas Eve. We passed so many establishments that were closed we were happy to find an open door with many patrons inside! They are sporting a vast selection of Beers, plus full bar. We enjoyed a variety amongst the four of us between a beer, rose wine for me, martini, and whiskey sours. Was a nice place chat and catch up pre dinner, reminiscent of earlier years at the former PJ Dorsey’s. Friendly enough service with a touch of rye. We had just visited Clayton recently, I’ve included a couple of snap shots of Hop Spot currently closed for season. Someone is peeking out the third story! Love to visit the Clayton location in season, great architecture!

Fun place with an awesome beer and cider list! Great burgers for any palate and poutine! Fun, different and a cool atmosphere. Had the Alamo poutine. Delicious!

The Hops Spot provided us with a perfect meal! It's a nice space with a bar front and center and plenty of seating all around the bar and the entire restaurant. Our server was kind and attentive, with service being quick and easy. I ordered the Black Cherry Cider and it was wonderful. They have a wide variety of alcohol to choose from so you'll easily find something to your liking. Our food really was perfection, the Health Nut Salad with Chicken was fresh and flavorful. The Tex Mex Burger was a perfect medium rare with a combination of flavors and toppings that pleased my palate aplenty. The fries were well seasoned and there was no evidence left of any food ever being on our plates. We can't wait to go back and try so much more as the menu has so much to offer. I also noticed they offer a vegan menu and offer substitutions as well for anyone not looking to eat meat. Always love to see that availability and adaptability. Highly recommend. Enjoy!!

Great food, great service, great ambience, and great staff Easy parking Right next to Tallman.

The poutine here is soooooo good!! Extensive beer list and a whole build your own burger option. We came in on Memorial Day so the place wasn't too busy. We sat at the bar and the service was quick and attentive. When I walked to the bathroom, I realized how large the place is. They have multiple game rooms as well as the main bar area. Kid friendly too! Get some poutine!!

All I wanted was a bacon cheeseburger and a beer. Man alive, did I pick the right spot! (Pun intended.) The beer list was not only ridiculously long (in a good way), but they had about a dozen burger styles from which to choose (ditto their several takes on poutine, everything from classic to Tikka Masala! Definitely going back to try those. Also, be sure to ask about their deviled eggs du jour!) But like I said, just wanted a bacon cheeseburger and a beer, so, after choosing my beer, I ordered that classic burger, medium-rare. What a treat to have it come nice and pink and juicy, not gray and dry. The bacon was perfectly cooked, the cheese fully melted. It was a superb burger. The Hops Spot is THE spot in Armory Square.

Rating: 4.4/5 I had the chance to go to the burger restaurant/bar and it didn't disappoint! I went during the dinning week for downtown restaurants. I got the Hawaiian Sunrise, the corporate burger with fries and Korean chicken bites for $30. Hawaiian Sunrise: a mocktail with pineapple juice, hibiscus syrup and fresh lime. Pretty good 8/10 Korean chicken bites: too crunchy for my liking but the chicken was solid. It paired well with the sriracha coleslaw. Though it wasn't spicy. 8.5/10 The Corporate: burger with fried onions, bbq sauce, bacon and cheddar cheese. Delicious and full of flavor! I used the coleslaw I had from the chicken dish and added it to the burger. The fries were good but not the best I've had. 9/10 Service: very fast despite being the restaurant being packed with people. 10/10 Ambience: very nice, wasn't too dark and had nice decor. The layout of the restaurant was good. The bar was the center and the dining area surrounded it. 9/10 Overall, amazing would go again!

If you're looking for a great spot that checks all the boxes for both adults and kids, this place is a gem. The beer selection is top-notch, and the food comes out quickly while still being delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. What really stood out was the service. Our server was incredibly attentive, making sure we had extra cups and plates for the kids meals before they started fighting over them. Small details like this really make a big difference when you're dining with little ones. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 Noise level: Easy to talk Group size: Ideal for 3-5 people Wait time: No wait Kid-friendliness: Excellent (plenty of space and activities for kids) Highly recommend this place for a relaxed, family-friendly dining experience!

Quick, accommodating service and awesome burgers! So much variety, everyone loved what they ordered. I'm normally a smash burger girl but the quality of the meat here is fantastic. Perfect place to satisfy your burger craving!

Stopped in after running the mountain goat and had a fabulous meal. So many "poutine" options I wanted to try them all. Settled on the Shake the Honey Maker and it was so flavorful and a great portion size. The place was quiet at the time of day we were there, clean and very comfortable booths. Service was a little slow but again I think it was the time of day, but a check in on refills would have been nice. Definitely going back to try a burger or different poutine.

I've been coming to Syracuse for over a decade, for business and when THS opened, it became my favorite local place to eat and have some beers. I've tried a lot of the items on their menu, but recently decided to ask them to join my favorites .. I ordered the Big Lebowski Poutine with fried Chicken and I am happy I did!! I call it the Biggie Lebowski ... stop in, have a cold beverage and the Biggie Lebowski ... you're welcome!

Birthday celebration for hubby. It's a little hard on Mondays because so many places are closed but I knew he'd enjoy The Hops Spot in Armory Square. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm so we decided to sit outside. It is so nice that their outdoor seating is covered. There were sits in the shade as well as in the sun. We started with some brews....a pilsner, a stout and a sour. They were very enjoyable and their selection cannot be beat! 20+ taps !!! Our server was excellent, checking in on us and helping with questions. Service was pretty quick and everything arrived hot. Our friend declared his poutine extremely good, and my burger and my husband's were delicious. Approx 8 oz, perfectly cooked and juicy. My husband had fries and I love that I could get a salad instead of fries for no extra charge. It was not large, but it was a perfect size for a side. I am looking forward to a return trip soon.

Love this place! The food and drinks are always on point, and service has always been speedy. I love the deviled eggs appetizer, and the watermelon mule is my favorite drink. They also offer flights for their draft beers, which includes a variety of ciders. I haven't tried their desserts yet, but it's definitely on the to do list!

I'm Going to say they are busy so dont r pet lightening service and they can get confused but the staff if friendly kind which to me is what's most important great place to bring family friendly and even coworkers. Be forewarned street or garage parking. Bocce ball and other games towards the back of the establishment and a diner kinda feel to it very cool and don't miss the ducks wings they are delicious.

I feel like many college students don't know this exists but it's my favorite burger place in Syracuse! The burgers are huge and they have interesting kinds of burgers. The fries are always good. The lavender lemonade was really good. The food came out fast and waiter was super friendly! It's a great place to watch a sports game or come to socialize because they have a game room!

We stopped in for late afternoon drinks on Christmas Eve. We passed so many establishments that were closed we were happy to find an open door with many patrons inside! They are sporting a vast selection of Beers, plus full bar. We enjoyed a variety amongst the four of us between a beer, rose wine for me, martini, and whiskey sours. Was a nice place chat and catch up pre dinner, reminiscent of earlier years at the former PJ Dorsey's. Sports bar ambience that is child friendly. There were some families dining towards the back of restaurant. Friendly enough service with a touch of rye. We had just visited Clayton recently, I've included a couple of snap shots of Hop Spot currently closed for season. Someone is peeking out the third story! Love to visit the Clayton location in season, great architecture!

Our company had our Christmas party here in the back room. It was nice to have our own separate area and bar. There were board games, corn hole, bocci, and retro video game console available to us. The bathrooms were in a hallway near us but discrete that we didn't see other patrons going in. One of the appetizers I had wanted to try were the Duck Wings. I got to try a wing and it was good. The fried cauliflower were my fave. I ordered the Bacon Care of Business Burger, which had bacon strips, bacon jam, onion rings, mayo, and melted cheese. That did not disappoint.

First time here saw a lot of positive reviews on the poutine so we thought we would do a late lunch well before SU game in a Saturday. Seated right away hard chairs and benches acoustics are loud but cool kids corner behind a half wall with tables chairs games blackboard etc. pretty cool spot. Poutine arrived lukewarm gravy cold curds crispy hot fries. Burgers are quality meat premade frozen then cooked changes flavor would be so much better fresh made and cooked. Flavors and toppings are very good. Service took a bit at first and not that busy but spot on after order was taken right up until we left. Will give it a bit and try again.

Went there on a Friday night, and I would recommend people arrive at 5, before the crowds come in. The food is fabulous, and the wide array of poutine and sandwiches is excellent. I had the harvest sandwich, which was a turkey burger with cranberry sauce, bacon, apples, and maple syrup. It was so good! I've had the poutine at the Clayton location and it is equally as delicious. If you have children, don't worry. The place has plenty of seating and is family friendly!

My wife, daughter and I visited my son on his birthday and took my son and 8 of his friends here on. Friday night. It has a great space with large tables and lots of adjacent rooms a ton of games to play. The menu was huge. It had so many choices that all sounded great. Our server made some great recommendations for appetizers and sandwiches. They had a cheese dip appetizer that MUST be tried. The poutine was fantastic and the burgers and other sandwiches offered including veggie burgers were as large as the menu content. The burger I had was cooked perfectly and was one of the best burgers I have had. The French fries were awesome. The star of the show was a menu of draft beers that numbered over 40. Unlike most places, they had a great diversity of beers not just IPAs. The stouts were amazing and STRONG. It is connected to the Tallman Cocktail Club which is my favorite cocktail place. I have another Yelp review on that place If you're in Syracuse and are craving the finest burger, poutines and Draft beers, no need to look any further

Ordered burger and fries and got the most stalest fries I've ever tasted in my life. I wouldn't have been so mad but when this shit isn't cheap! Disappointing.

Loved it here! I was looking for a lunch place and hadn't been here yet. We ordered two salads and tea; all of our food was ready quickly and was very fresh. The portions were huge. I finished my salad; but, it was very large. I would definitely come back here again to try more of their food options. There was plenty of seating at the bar; the booth seating area is very spacious, and there is an area in the back to play games. There were people watching live games at the bar, and it wasn't that loud. I was surprised. I would definitely stop back again to try more of their options.

Came here before the Disturbed concert. AWESOME find!!! The service was absolutely amazing--our waitress was so patient and took the time to explain things to us, including the extensive beer menu. (They were out of the one I wanted, so they gave me a 16 oz pour of my 2nd choice). The duck wings were tasty. Not my favorite, but good overall. The fried green tomato stack was delicious- tangy, crunchy, a little sweet with the balsamic. The burgers...THE BURGERS are amazing. I personally had the "Bacon Care of Business" burger, and it was cooked perfectly (medium rare), and absolutely delicious. The poutine is (thankfully) done the correct way, and was very tasty. I look forward to my next visit!

I can't say anything about the food because I only stopped in for a drink, but I can comment on the ambiance. The front of the establishment is a room full of tables for dining in and the bar has a huge selection of beers on draught. The back is a giant game room, complete with TV's, bocci ball, darts, etc. The bar in the back only serves cans and bottles. We made our way to the back after grabbing beers from the front. It was definitely nice inside and I'd like to try the food the next time I'm in the area. As far as service, I'd say it was good. Nothing exceptional, but everyone was polite and friendly and poured a good beer. Overall, a very nice spot with a good selection of beers. It looks like it can be a lot of fun on a game day/night.

This is one of my FAVORITE spots in downtown cuse. The burgers are some of the best I've ever had innnn myyyy lifeeeee! It's just so hard to choose because they have SO many options. The fries are always 10/10 as well. They have a poutine menu with several different variations of what i call POUTINE MAGIC! I also love their selection of beers/ ciders. Soo many different ones on tap, and they offer flights! The crowd is always chill and the bartenders are great. Huge wrap around bar so it's a great spot to meet up with friends for a bite and drink. Also a good place to watch sports! Theyre open late and have a late night menu which I appreciate. Cheers!

Hop spot is the best for a quick date or game night with friends, & this was before i knew the back was completely done up! Always have to start with a flight, followed by poutines to share, burgers in the middle, and end with a creative dessert. And, giant duck wings! Such a spacious area to gather, especially during games and Winterfest activities! Definitely check out the game room, which includes stuff for kids of all ages

Its a huge place!! It has that Industrial look which is cool. Service was ok, the food took a long time to come and the sides were cold when it was served. It was dead in here on Wednesday night, makes you wonder why. The burgers were ok, definitely not coming back unfortunately. They do have a good selection of beer, IPA's and ciders.

We were looking a place to eat before a musical and the place we wanted had a 2.5 hour wait so we stumbled In here and Boy were we shocked. Burgers and fries done all locally with local meat and fresh cut fries. The food was amazing. The Tikka masala fries were sweet and savory, while the gf said the burger was one of the best She ever had between the meat and smoked blue cheese. A definite required spot if you find yourself in downtown Syracuse.

Attempted Brunch/Lunch at The Hop's, Advertised Wheelchair Accessible, Upon Arrival with Paraplegic Husband....Indicated they ONLY Have Front Staircase, No Wheelchair Accesiability Update 7/23/24, Bill reached out to me directly, and appears miscommunication for host on duty wasn't aware and received in correct information. Bill indicated he would get with his team for training & offered us a gift certificate. Great Response by Owner, Will definitely take Bill up on his offer, next visit to Syracuse, NY.

Great food, great service, great The wait time was supposed to be 20 mins but we were seated in less than 5 The duck wings are a must as is the poutine. The burgers are simply amazing. Can't go wrong with either of the 200 options.

First impressions are everything. The sign welcoming guests to seat themselves led me on a journey to find a clean table. Food and fries littered the floor, and the staff seemed ambivalent to it all. I do not want to patronize a place that seems to care so little about its appearance. I shudder to think of what the kitchen looks like if the front of the house is so poorly maintained. Hesitantly stayed for a burger and beer. The food was lackluster and not worth a return visit.

I really enjoyed my burgers here but the service kind of sucked. We waited extremely long for our food and I knew the server forgot to ring it in. When I talked amongst my party, they kept telling me to stop being impatient. Eventually the server came over and said "the kitchen lost our ticket". Just be honest. You forgot to ring in the order... I had the Wac Arnold burger which I really enjoyed. It came with fries which were fresh and delicious. They have a large beer menu which is great but about 4 different beers that my friends and I ordered were not in stock. It got a little annoying after the second time. Overall, the food was good and I am sure the service would be better another time. Give them a try!

Tons of changing on tap options. Good food with great service. The staff makes you feel comfortable every time and the atmosphere is excellent!

I've been to the Clayton location, which is awesome and now I've been to the Syracuse location which is also awesome! Good food, good drinks, and awesome staff! The place is very clean and well taken care of. Everyone was very friendly. Drinks came out quickly and so did the food. The drinks and the food were delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. I wish they had a Rochester location, I'd be there all the time.

We rented out the space for a huge 100 person party in the back of hop spot. Good space, accessible bathroom, but the issue is the food we paid for didn't come out on time and ran out fast with replenishment taking a while. Sure, I'd suggest this location for an event but the catered food situation needs to catch up to as nice as the charcuterie looked.

The food here is so delicious, some crazy great flavors going on. A little noisy as it's a bar/restaurant, high ceilings with no noise dampeners. Our waitress was absolutely amazing, she gave multiple recommendations and checked on us multiple times throughout the night. We got our food quickly and it came out hot and delicious. Would definitely come here again.

Great food, beer and service. No complaints. I was very pleased with everything and entire experience.

This is our go-to bar near Armory Square in downtown Syracuse! This fantastic establishment is perfect for any celebration, sporting event or fun night out! They have a back room with lawn-style games (corn hole, board games and other sorts) which is great for catching up with friends. Their menu is HUGE and I definitely recommend the poutines! Whether you're stopping in for a game or staying for dinner, this is the place to be!

Super cool place. I came at an off time so was the only one in here (2:44pm). Food was super quick and super good! Guy behind the bar was amazing! Great customer face and was very friendly. Even checked out the burger and offered to have it re-cooked when it turned out Medium and not Medium rare. (It was still delicious) Knowledgeable about the area and had a bunch of great suggestions for local spots. Really elevated the dining experience. Thanks Sam! Canned music was a little loud, but the place was empty so go figure.

WDD- Watered Down Drinks with zero vodka..Felt absolutely nothing from the double shot vodka and soda. I Ordered a single the second time to see if I was wrong and the same result .Don't order drinks that contain vodka here . Must not be making money to pull this stunt..

This was a wonderful place we found while stopping through Syracuse on the way to Maryland (from Canada). We parked on the street and walked over and were greeted by some warm staff members. Our waitress was also so stinknig sweet, I wish I remembered her name but she had some awesome makeup and just cozy vibes. The beer menu is very extensive, so take your time reading all of it or just ask your server. She was great at recommendations. There is also an option for a flight so you can get small pours of pretty much whatever is on tap. Lots of fun stuff, I ended up having a sour that I highly enjoyed and I also had a beer cheese sandwich with a side salad. I have to say I highly enjoyed it! Our waitress even warned us that the beer cheese is too bitter for some people (because they don't realize maybe what it is). But it was fantastic. The bathrooms and play area were big, bring your kids, friends, friends' friends, or whatever, this place can accomodate it. My hubby's burger looked pretty good too. The only down side I saw was that my salad greens were a bit sad, but I ate them anyways - need my veggies.

The hops spot is one of my favourites in Syracuse. The atmosphere is chill and staff are super friendly. They have an extensive beer menu and anything you order here is always delicious. The colonel mustard is my favourite by far, it's sweet and salty and you can't go wrong with their fries. If you haven't tried it out yet, definitely checkout The Hops Spot. And after you eat play some games in the back; they've got corn hole, darts and bocci ball.

This place has the best burgers I've had. Nice and juicy and flavorful. If you are a burger connoisseur, you have to stop here.

Haven't been here in awhile, so was happy that they were one of the few beer joints with a varied menu that was open on a Monday night. My friend and I got a booth near the front door (quite chilly inside, especially when customers came in or left). Bring a sweater or hoodie when eating here in the winter. Server was great. Ordered a variety of beers. All fresh, well poured and reasonably priced. I did hope for fewer IPAs and fruit/sours, but I enjoyed the brown ale, porter and winter warmer. Food was pricey. We got two appetizers (5 wings and 2 tacos) and that alone was $33 with tip. Lastly, the place is a bit of a sports bar, with large screen tvs and rock music playing. But, if that's your thing, this is a perfect place with lots of room for fans.

Even though we went to taste of Syracuse, we ended up dining at The Hops Spot. Always a great choice. We started with the Alamo poutine. Fresh avocado, pickled jalapeños, tomatillo salsa, cheddar cheese, spicy-ranch, cilantro. Delicious and fresh. For mains I ordered the "Bacon care of business" burger. Crisp bacon strips with signature bacon jam, onion rings, mayo, and melted American cheese. Did not disappoint. Always an upbeat friendly atmosphere, with attentive staff. A place to check out, in the Clinton Square area.

OH MY GOD. First of all, that Nashville hot chicken sandwich was ‍! So good. Seasoned perfectly. I got the Veggie Classic Poutine and my husband got the Big Lebowski. This is where I took off a star. Not for flavor. That veggie poutine is DELICIOUS! But it was quite small for $13. Like side order size. The Big Lebowski was easily 2-3X larger. I figured it was because it has pierogies, but we did a comparison after the four pierogies came out of the box. There were A LOT more fries in that order. Regardless, flavors were incredible and I'll be back to try other menu items. Great spot. Delicious food.

Perfect spot for any poutine lovers in Syracuse. There's lots of seating with large tables and booths inside, perfect for hanging out with a group. The food is tasty and the beer selection is great.

It must be raining salt because my food was covered in it and I feel like I opened my mouth in the ocean. Pretzel appetizer was $12 and you get two short lil breadstick type pretzels by Sysco. They were pretty good but come on, 12 bucks for pre-made teeny pretzels. Nashville hot chicken sandwich was so greasy and the breading was blackened and very thick. Did I mention the overwhelming salt? Not impressed by the way the burger was cooked--no char, just kinda all around eh. Burger wasn't salty though, so yay. Came for a weekend lunch and saw a lot of empty tables, yet service was so slow. We waited an absurd amount of time for mediocre food.

Food poor quality Service way worse then the food Ambiance good Wait staff were only concerned with themselves. Go across street to Modern Malt and you will be a lot happier, especially if you like great food

My wife and I were traveling from the Philly area to Niagara Fall for the total eclipse. Whenever we travel we look for restaurants that have been featured on DDD and this trip was no different. We chose Pastabilities on Franklin St as our pit stop for lunch. Checked their website for the menus and hours of operation before hand so we knew when to stop before setting off on our trip. When we got there the restaurant was closed so we walked around the neighborhood to find another eatery which shouldn't be difficult considering we're just a few blocks from the University. To our surprise, very few venues were open at 12pm in the afternoon but we found one, right around the corner for our original destination...The Hops Spot, and they were serving lunch and decided to give it a try before hitting the road again. We were seated immediately as the place was still only half full. When the sever arrived she was friendly and attentive and took our drink and food orders. My wife got the Grilled Chicken sandwich with fries and I got the Jacked Sweet Heat burger with poutine fries. I will tell you up front, my burger was probably one of the best I've ever eaten in a restaurant. It wasn't too large where it was falling out of the bun but it wasn't chincy either and had just the right amount of meat to the bite. Not overly juicy where the roll become soggy and falls apart. The combination of the aioli and pepper jack set the heat just right without the melt your face heat that some spice burgers offer. Best of all, they will cook it to YOUR liking. Many burger joints will claim they cook rare burgers when in reality its medium rare and in some instances medium. Nope...Hops Spot gives you RARE along with just the right amount of time on a searing hot griddle to char the outside of the burger adding to the mouth watering flavor. The fries are delicious all on their own but add the gravy and cheese curds and you have what could be a meal. The portions of fries aren't so big that you can't finsih them either, you can enjoy a perfect size sandwich/burger and the fries and leave nothing on the plate without feeling bloated. I washed it all down with their in house tangerine wheat beer. Its similar to Blue Moon but has a more citrus flavor to it and you can tell its tangerine and not orange. All in all it was a winner and if we were to pass thru Syracuse again, we'd be stopping there.

First of all, there are two locations! One in Armory Square in Syracuse, one in Clayton, up on the St.Lawrence River. I've eaten at both. You can't beat eating outside in the fall up near the river. I had a beer and a burger. It was the best burger ever, called You're bacon me crazy. Dee-lish! Went to the Syracuse location. I wasn't in the mood for a burger, and ordered the fried green tomato sandwich. It arrived and I started eating the side salad. A couple minutes later, Waitress comes over and sets down a plate. Puzzled, I asked what it was... My fried green tomatoes. They forgot to put them on my sandwich... Oy. Wonder what the heck was going on in the kitchen?! Service in both places is good, beer is good, just a flip of the coin on the kitchen!!!
