I've been to a lot of places like this and this is the first one with this kind of review... I disliked the food and had to cancel our order aftrr just having starters. Service was terrible, the place was practically empty but we waited 10 minutes to get assigned a waiter.
They can't make decent drinks, had nothing on tap, expensive drinks that were poorly mixed (cocktails) and we had to wait for over 5 minutes for drinks in an empty place, bathooms were filthy, for a place that's in riverside hotel space, it is sad !!!

Beef Burger
Wonderful barman and waitress anele ,who was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure we were all taken care off .
The food was amazing ,not too bad with their pricing ,nice comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff all around but the highlight of the day was the manager Nicky ,what a kind hearted woman who was so bubbly and always ever ready to assist,she constantly checked up on each of us and was downright caring .
We do not often see this in establishments ,so when we do we must always be thankful to be that fortunate to have met such good people . I hope each individual will be praised for all their hard work and efforts , especially your manager who carries herself with such grace .Thank you all for a beautiful unforgettable afternoon God bless you all

Formerly Hops, the outside area is shabby and doesn't seem like it's maintained as well as it previously was.
On entry we waited a bit for the waitresses to take notice and then figure out whose turn it was to do Temps and sanitize.
After being led to the table in a practically empty store, the table was dirty and even after being wiped, had a sticky feel.
The staff don't seem to be clued up on what's in the kitchen because a while after ordering, we were informed of a shortage of veg and it would be a while before a fresh batch could be prepared.
The place has lost its spark.
The food was decent and presentation was good.
Staff are great (waitresses and barmen)
Atm never works for the gambling machines.
Lacks a bit of atmosphere that it use to have.
Food is good. The beef burger has not provided genuine beef flavor as it's got a lot of other flavors in it. It was decent but not great.
We asked for the chicken pasta (not on the menu) to be made specially for us and spiced up and it was pure magic on our tongues.
Will be back.

Today I ordered a bunny on ubereats and received curry and rice. I called Hops and told them, the manager corrected the order and had it delivered to my house at no extra fee. Thank you for amazing customer service❤️ Delicious food.

The food is great, had a steak salad, ample steak and the dressings were also rather tasty. Portion size was large enough for me to take the rest home. They also have a lovely variety of shooters, the cherry bomb was particularly delicious. Wines are fairly priced per bottle. The service was also really good, my wine glass was never empty and our orders were taken in a timely fashion. The atmosphere was nice as we sat outside in the warm sun on the benches.
