About This Pub
Ah, Hop House in Bangor – it's one of those spots that really hits the mark for a proper pub experience, you know? From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, it's got this great mix of top-quality beers and cocktails that make it a go-to for anyone wanting a decent drink without breaking the bank. The events, like those comedy nights, add a real spark; imagine grabbing a ticket for a laugh with mates on a Friday – sounds like a winner. And the staff? Well, most folks rave about how helpful and cheerful they are, remembering orders and making you feel at ease, which is just lovely for building that community feel. On the flip side, it's not all pints and praise; a couple of reviews mentioned some staff being a bit off-hand, which could put a dampener on your evening if you're unlucky. Plus, it does get heaving and noisy, especially at the weekends, so if you're after a peaceful chat, you might want to pick a quieter time. Overall, with a solid 4.3 rating from heaps of reviews, it's clear this place does a lot right, but like any good pub, it's got its quirks. I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in the area – just go in with an open mind and you'll likely have a grand time.

Alex remembered my order perfectly, before double checking (it was a long order) and was wonderful to deal with
Great bar, great music, excellent craft beer selection, the only downside was the 2 bar staff downstairs were incredibly unhelpful/borderline rude - (everyone who was there said the same thing).
Called in here a few years ago for the work do for a few pints, not a bad spot with plenty of room
Lovely pub which pours a great pint of Guinness
The best part is the staff. Very nice and friendly.
It is also dog friendly up to like 9pm. Before then. On the weekend it does get nosier for the dog though.
I have been staying away from the restaurant for a long time as the food was not very good . I went back for a meal last week .the food is fantastic... I would highly recommend it... you will see me in the restaurant most Thursdays for steak night... amazing food ...
