Hand down, this is my favorite pub in Rio Rancho! The staff is always so welcoming, the food is top notch, and the beer selection is always fantastic!
The Hopper is like the bar in “Cheers” because everybody knows your name, and there’s never a dull moment whether it’s watching one of the many live bands performing nightly, or sharing a laugh with one of the patrons! The owners are wonderful people and make you feel like family when you meet them! If you haven’t come out to The Hopper before, I highly recommend coming with your whole family to enjoy the atmosphere and some of the hottest live music in Rio Rancho!
Special shoutouts to Cienna, Amanda, Aliyah, and Liz behind the bar; and to Manda and Phoebe in the kitchen!!

Been here several times and for the most part have always had a great experience. The food is good, the atmosphere and live music are fun, and the staff is friendly… especially the short brunette; She always gets it done and takes great care of us!!

They turned me away because they thought my out of state ID was fake. Apparently the photo background wasn’t blue enough? Since l received this ID from the state of Minnesota (legally, might l add) l have rightfully used it to board airplanes, book hotel rooms, rent apartments, gain employment, and yes, BUY ALCOHOL! And now your staff wants to tell me it’s not blue enough!? I understand playing it safe when you don’t know what you’re looking at, and to the owner: good on you if you stand behind your employees’ judgement, l would have turned someone away if l was unsure, too – but whatever that is came at the expense of a would-be patron who was excited to be there. I just moved here, and this last month has been pretty difficult for me to say the least. All l wanted to do was blow off some steam by meeting new people and having fun at an open mic night, but l guess my Minnesota State issued Real ID wasn’t blue enough for that, was it?
Invest in an ID scanner, any place worth the time of day has one.

First time I’ve been here since it was the Blue grasshopper and it was great had a wonderful time. The music from the band Night Moves was great! Our server was very good especially despite how busy it was, he did a great job. I wish I got his name, it was a Friday night January 9th 2026 Met the owner and he was a nice man as well. Friendly, neighborhood spot.

A True Gem: Cienna and The Hopper Set the Standard
The Hopper isn’t just a bar; it’s an experience, and the incredible atmosphere starts right behind the bar with Cienna. This spot is an absolute must-visit, earning every single one of these five stars.
From the moment we walked in, the service was phenomenal—genuinely pleasant and attentive, making everyone feel welcome and taken care of, even when things got busy. Cienna is a true professional; she’s quick with a drink recommendation and always has a smile.
The vibe here is just unmatched. They play genuinely good music—the kind that makes you want to stay for one more round without having to shout over it. It strikes that perfect balance of being lively yet relaxed.
It’s clear that this level of quality and hospitality starts at the top. A huge thank you to the owners, John and Destiny, for creating such a wonderful local establishment. The commitment they show to their staff and their customers truly shines through, making The Hopper the best neighborhood hangout around. Go see Cienna!

It was a great to go with the spouse and kids to meet friends with their kids for pizza, wings, chips and salsa/queso. It was open mic night, so great for conversation, and then the four guys that had drums and guitars played. They were awesome, on key, and just great to listen to them play covers.

My husband and I recently ate here and we had such a good experience. The food was great and we loved the atmosphere with live music. Our waitress was really kind and easy to talk to. She accidentally brought out the wrong dish (we didn’t even notice) and brought us the correct dish and didn’t charge us for the mistake they make even though we ate it. We ordered a large pizza to share and they brought out a smaller one on accident. It goes to show they care about their customers and want to make sure you are getting the value of what you are paying for.
