Hops and Barley Alehouse — Restaurant in South Gate

Beers, Braughts and Sports on T.V. This place has everything you need, relax, drink a craft beer and enjoy! Beer prices are lower then most places and they host an all day happy hour Monday-Thusrday until 7p.m.! Who does that?!Awsome right? You may be asking yourself why is this place always desilite during lunch hours? Well for one the exterior is biege and their open sign is small making the place not noticeable. Also unless the owner /manager are working chances are the service is going to be terrible. I have visited this location 3x, when the owner was working everything was 5 stars, however when I visited the other times and she wasn't working the service was awful. The food and drinks were really good but the atmosphere was dull and there was no vibe. The elderly women that was managing was cordial but kinda ruins the atmosphere. A gastropub should have a young, hip vibe to attract clientele and in my opinion she unfortunately isn't a good fit for this place. Then there's the staff, from what I have observed this is an area that needs improvement fast or this place will continue to be slow and boring. I would hire people that have beer knowledge and who are upbeat, motivated and unique! The staff members that I have interacted with besides the owner were confused and just kinda ok, not super attentive and very boring. Bartenders should be upbeat and at the very least should act like they are excited to be there. If you guy's ever need help training let me know. I have a wide variety of beer knowledge and I have a ton of customer...

We are on a 3 part road trip and wanted somewhere low key where we could get a cold beer, some good food, and nothing too pretentious. I found H and B Alehouse online and as normal wanted to see the reviews. As I read their responses to feedback, I fell in love with this place. I love a company that understands how to have a sense of humor especially in a day and age where the younger drinking aged folks such as myself are taught that we are special and if we complain we get free hand outs, if you believe that....you my friend are a snowflake idiot and need to realize that - no -as the customer you are not always right. The reviews pulled me in, the atmosphere intrigued me, and the food and friendly staff kept me. The house chocolate porter was delightfully chilled with a good head and body and their Angel City IPA was crisp and fruity with those hoppy notes I love. The BLTA was simply tasty and those steak fries...get out of here! So good! My fiancé's chicken Alfredo was creamy and reminded me of home cooking. Estefani was so engaging and friendly, and while she is relatively new, the manager clearly knows how to train good people.

We will be back on our road trips, so thank you H and B! You get my only 5 star review for truly living up to my expectations...

If I could give it a 0 stars I would, the service was horrible, especially the manager who should be the one to mediate the situation, he only made the matters worse. All tables after our groups arrival was served their drink at least , but not ours. When went to ask the waiter, she said she gave out order to another waiter to attend us as she felt overwhelmed with the people she was already attending but our order wasn’t even put in by any other server. The manager mentions that they are short staffed(on a ufc fight night, which they should be aware it is a busy night, maybe should of had more servers). In my opinion, this could have been avoided not a pitty party but a more reasonable excuse other than “there’s always one table who is waiting” this house is full of men watching the fight we are a table of 2 men and 2 ladies I’m sure he wouldn’t have the nerve to tell a table of men “you have to wait or you can leave”.I only stayed because they charged my table $60 to watch the fight… other than that I would’ve took his advise and left. Great way to keep paying...
