99 Hops House

I absolutely love craft beer! So when I saw this place, it was a must try. They have a large beer selection also. I know what beers I like to drink, but I also like to talk to the staff about their recommendations and ask about the different types of beer they have on tap. So do you want to hear something funny? I ask the bar tender a few simple questions on some of their beer on tap and what she would recommend and she responds «I don’t know, I am not really a beer drinker.» Are you kidding me?! You work at a place called the Hops House and you don’t drink beer? Talk about a major turn off for a place of business. Why would a company hire someone who has no passion for a product or any knowledge about what they are serving. I definitely will not come back and I will go to another tap house where their staff enjoys what they are serving.

This place was good. I read the other reviews but I had a good experience there. We ordered the nachos for appetizer and it was really good. Loaded with toppings. They have a large variety of beer. They said 99 kinds. That’s where the name came from. I ordered the steak sandwich. It was really good. The steak was juicy and tasty. Yum.

After standing at the blackjack table and being ignored by the dealer while some chick was sitting there taking a spot not playing, I decided to have a drink on my way out. I asked what they had local and after naming a few and saying there were too many to list. I asked which urban chestnut was like a blonde, pale, or IPA. I got ignored then assumed I was with the person next to me. Five minutes later I finally got the bartenders attention, I wanna say his name was Shawn, to get a drink. I realize it was the end of the night. But I’m still a paying customer. If you don’t want my $$ at the casino or bar that fine. I don’t have to ever come back. But like I told the door guy about the table who ignored a paying patron, you’ll never know if i was going to spend $ 20, $ 200 or $ 2000. Your loss not mine. I still have my $$.

After researching places around Hollywood Amphitheater, we picked this establishment to pre-​party before a concert.
I had done my original research of the menu, their drink menu, etc so I was excited upon entering but VERY disappointed to see that the expansive menu online was only 1 page upon sitting down. We asked our waitress and her reply was «oh well things change.» The online menu had more options for our vegetarian friend but luckily we were all able to find something once we added/​eliminated items from what we ordered (bacon burger & fries, chicken sandwich & fries then the turkey club croissant that we had to modify to make it vegetarian). The food arrived in a timely manner (not served by our original waitress), hot and right out of the oven with a great size pile of steak fries that completed the meal. We devoured every bite.
We saw our original waitress a handful of times and she wasn’t a people person. After the reply above to the menu, I was hoping she would be attentive but was not — our teas were only filled 2 times if that. We saw other wait staff rushing around more than we saw ours. She also did not ask if we needed anything else or wanted dessert, she simply dropped the check off and walked off.
The food deserves high stars, the atmosphere high stars and the wait staff that we unfortunately got should get zero stars. Hopefully this will get better in time as its a new restaurant.
