TGIF! Our best selling appetizer wasn’t designed for weight loss, but happiness leads to health so… pretty sure dirty tots are a neutral option. Wishing a beautiful weekend to all of our North County neighbors – we thought you might want some cheesy bacon tater tots and a cold b**r to celebrate your Friday night.

Call it part of the creative process, or simply “workflow”. We won’t tell your boss if you need to do some remote work with a delicious craft b**r in hand 🤐 The Hop Stop is open at noon M-Th, 11 am Fridays, and 10 am Sat/Sun.

Burger of the month is our take on a classic… a double 6 oz patty with American cheese, sautéed bell peppers & onions, chopped bacon, and Jalapenos. Served with your choice of side. Just call it training for thanksgiving day, because this month is for eating good!

Still not over this night! It was The Hop Stop like you’ve never seen before. Thanks to Agent 51 for the music, and 3 Punk Ales for the fantastic Red Alert IPA. It was an old school kickback that brought together so many of our favorite people, and our favorite things (b**r, music, Poway) 🍻🤘💚
We are so grateful for everyone who came to rock out (and mosh juuuuust a little bit) – special thanks to Andrew Middleton for the photos, and Rick Savage for putting our little spot on the radio!

We can’t take credit for the sunshine on our patio, but we are happy to provide plenty of TVs to watch the games, whether it’s baseball playoffs or football 🏈 ⚾️ Not to mention a rotating draft list we’re quite proud of 🍻

Mixing things up for this week’s sausage special: come watch the playoffs & try the La Chona sandwich with chorizo, pork, Swiss cheese, and more. Served on Bolillo bread with a choice of side.
