Located in the heart of the city, the Hopewell offers a diverse cocktail menu and a laid back, highly satisfying experience in a simple yet mistic atmosphere. I sampled four distinct cocktails. The Old Fashioned, crafted with Sazerac Rye, was a standout. This cocktail exemplified excellence with its balanced, nuanced flavors and a commendable use of quality ingredients at a reasonable price!. Well done! Another highlight was the Wild Turkey Bourbon and Amaro cocktail. This drink was masterfully executed, featuring a harmonious blend of rich, robust bourbon with the complex, bittersweet notes of Amaro. It was both innovative and well-balanced, showcasing the bar's skill in creating compelling and refined cocktails. And hearing the story behind the drink from the barman was a joy! However, not all offerings were as successful. The Manhattan, while promising, fell short due to the use of a subpar vermouth (maybe old?) which detracted from the overall quality of the cocktail. The drink just wasn't there, unfortunately. The Espresso Martini, though visually appealing, was overly sweet and carried an artificial taste. This detracted from the drink's potential to deliver a well-rounded coffee-flavored experience, leaving room for improvement in its formulation. In conclusion, the Hopewell presents a mixed bag of experiences. While there are notable successes, which also include the wonderful and welcoming atmosphere, some aspects need improvement. Overall, the bar's strong points suggest it is well worth a visit.

The food was good. The wings were very tasty. The pizza was okay. We didn't eat the gyro because we got really full from the other pizza and the wings. However, our server ignored us to the point of being rude. She gave us our waters, took our order, and didn't ask us what sides we want. I especially called her later to tell her which sides I want. During our meal, she didn't ask us one if the food was okay or not. I had to call her again after sitting for a long time to ask for the check and to go boxes. She seemed upset that we wanted the to go boxes. All those people who are wondering how busy the restaurant was that she didn't bother to smile at us once, it was okay busy. It was not bursting with people but it wasn't empty either. When we were leaving, 1 couple was waiting to be seated which is not terribly busy considering a Saturday night.

All in all, a decent meal but we won’t be coming back. Tried the restaurant on an early Friday night. Music was a little loud and tables are close together, as expected for a bar. We ordered the Warm Artichoke Dip for an appetizer. We were surprised when the dish came and the dip had full artichoke hearts. Too rich in taste for our liking. We ordered the Chipotle Pizza for an entree. Served on a flatbread, the pizza was actually really good. It had celery which was a bit odd. The caveat was that the pizza was lukewarm to cold in some spots. Had the pizza been cooked or heated correctly, the meal would’ve been better. Service was excellent. If you want to try this restaurant, you should probably go. If you want a solid meal for a reasonable price, look elsewhere.
