Loved loved loved this place! So many drink options, excellent vibes, just a great place to have a little break from the hustle and bustle of life.
Sisco was super awesome, very attentive and laid back while also keeping a tight ship.
Plus, Dragonbowl C was delish and they have a location in the bar.
Drinks were also pretty average cost, $7.50-8 for local speciality drafts, so I’m not answering how much per person bc that’s entirely dependent on how much and what you order.
There is a smoking patio and vaping is not allowed inside. So, you don’t have to worry about a lung powered pancake scented air freshener.

I attended trivia night at Hop Scholar on multiple occasions, hoping it would be a fun, inclusive experience. Unfortunately, it consistently wasn’t.
The trivia questions were heavily focused on pop culture from the 1950s–1970s, with little effort to balance topics across generations. When this was raised, the trivia host (Tim) responded (paraphrasing), “Why should I care about millennials when our customer base are boomers?”
That comment, combined with the dismissive attitude toward feedback, made it clear that younger people were not welcome participants. Trivia should be about engaging the whole room, not signaling that only one age group matters.
If you’re over 50 and enjoy older movie trivia, this may be for you. If you’re a younger customer looking for an inclusive, balanced trivia night, I would not recommend it.
I won’t be returning.
Update: I adjusted my star rating because I do enjoy the food and drinks. My original review was about inclusivity at trivia night.
When I offered feedback to the trivia host that it would be nice to include some questions that people of different ages and backgrounds could reasonably answer, his response was condescending. He asked my age, told me the questions were not meant for people like me, and later made personal and disrespectful comments about me on social media.
My feedback was simply that adding a broader mix of questions could make trivia more welcoming. Unfortunately, neither the trivia host’s behavior nor the owner’s response addressed how a customer was treated when giving respectful feedback.

Overall: My favorite bar in Houston. High ratings for a reason.
Price: Beer prices are pretty average especially for what they serve. Food prices are decent as well, but I love the food here, so I don’t mind paying a little extra.
Food: I used to be a big fan of the craft hot dogs, they’re not on the main menu anymore but I’ve been told they have a special menu for certain days/times when they still make them. They pair great with the loaded fries, kimchi fries are my favorite they are phenomenal. They’ve changed chefs since I first started coming here but they do a great job.
Service: Everyone here is always nice and super fun. I’ve never had any issues with service here.
Atmosphere/cleanliness: very nice vibes inside. Super chill for everyone. Few tv’s for sports. Never seen it dirty here.

I love Hop Scholar..I’ve been here a few times and food and beer is always on point! I love their beer selection – there’s something for everyone. The staff is amazing and sweet! You have to order everything at the bar and also choose your own table. Last time my boyfriend got the Hop Scholar burger with tots and I got the Brisket nachos. The food was so yummy!

Fantastic! Great beers on tap and some eclectic bottles like Chimay. Solid bar food line-up with something for everyone. Pet Friendly. Indoor. Yes indoor. Great place to watch a game and bring your furry friend.

The staff was super friendly, made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. They have up to 45 beers on tap. The menu is super organized so you can easily find what you want to drink. Awesome place to check out. They do not serve food here, but occasionally have food trucks and places within walking distance to grab a bite to eat.

The staff is always great. The rotating selection of beer is on point. The restrooms are always clean. Its a great hang out place. My husband loves to come here any chance he gets. It’s so cool and great that they have food from Dragon Bowl C here. I’m not a big beer person like my husband is. So having an option of boba at the same location works out superbly for me and my husband. This location is an awesome spot for my husband and I do both have things we love.

The hot dogs are to die for! The chihuahua hot dog was so exquisite. Love that they have tater tots too. Service could have been better but wasn’t that bad. I wish they were open for lunch.

Fantastic beer selection!!! Friendly knowledgeable staff, the kind of place where beer is a religion. No food, but they let you bring in food and also let you order for delivery right to the bar! I will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who loves beer!
