Hops House 99 — Restaurant in Bangor

For being a pub/tap room in a casino this was a nice place. It was nice and open, so you aren’t on top of each other. The seats were comfortable (at least at the bar) and there was a good view to see the TVs to watch sports and since I was there on a Sunday it was football day. Being from Seattle it was a bit strange being surrounded by Patriot fans (still can’t get over Super Bowl 49 – not really).

Service was friendly and really on top of things and I really never had to ask for things they were a head of the game.

The walls had large replicas of beer labels which added to the overall atmosphere. I did like the beer barrels over the entrance.

They do advertise $9 flights and have a beer of the day special. (The day I was there it was Honey brown for $4.99) They also have a monthly feature brewery.

Had a selection of local beers, feel they could have had a few more, but the Sebago Frye’s Leap IPA was a good IPA. It had a nice clean, slightly bitter finish without the citrus notes; like the original IPA’s.

Good selection of food on their menu. I did see a number of dishes come out and they looked tasty and the burger I had was good and juicy and cooked they was I asked.

I also had their clam chowder and it was tasty and the great thing was it had a thin roux, unlike what I normally have. It had a good clam to bacon mix and I would recommend it.

For a pub in a casino I would recommend it just to check out out and not...

The food was soggy and bland. Wings were not crispy and the garlic Parmesan sauce had no flavor. We shared the fish fry and the breading on the fish was soggy but picked it off and the fish was ok. We ordered a side salad and a side of Mac and cheese to share. The mac and cheese tasted like nacho cheese sauce on pasta. Not good. I asked the waiter about the salad due to already dropping food off at the table with no mention of the salad. A few minutes go by and I asked about it and he said “it’s back there I just didn’t bring it”. It was awkward and we didn’t know what to say. The waiter was not attentive or even ask how our meal was or get drink refills. I hate to say anything negative about a place but we thoroughly did not enjoy the food or service. We visit Hollywood Casino frequently but this was our first time...

Really impressed with this place inside the Hollywood casino.

Service was always excellent.

The food was very good - had lunch, dinner and breakfast there. Burgers were cooked as requested and fries were good. Steak was g”very good and served with butter on top, was just a bit small for the price. Breakfast burrito and home fries were also very good.

Only issue is the limited menu (and smaller than expected steak) - if you are staying there a few days you might find the amount of items too limited (especially since it’s the only “restaurant” in...
