Hopscotch Bar Braddon

Just stopped in for a couple of drinks before dinner. We loved the beer garden area and industrial look of the inside area. Nice cocktail menu ($15-20 mostly), for those interested in that kind of thing. I can recommend the Coco loco. However, it did take a while for the cocktails to be delivered to the table. This is a great spot for big groups. They have a huge indoor area with long tables and heaters if you're sitting outside.

Came here tonight from Melbourne, sitting on table number 78, we ordered a round of drinks, after one hour of waiting we came up to the bar to ask for them and they literally say they gave them to us, it’s been 1 hour and 15 minutes and they keep saying it’s 5 minutes away. Absolutely bad service. I work in hospo, you lose the dockets sometimes, but when something like this happens you guys shall care and prioritise it. Never coming back again.

Not family friendly. Drinks were expensive. Female waitress looked like she rolled out of bed and didn't want to be there on a Sunday evening. Couldn't crack a smile when delivering our meal. Pizza was bland. Steak was ok, but definitely not what we paid for. And the garlic bread ain't garlic bread, more like garlic pizza. Very disappointing.

Hopscotch used to be the new kid on the block back in like 2015, and now it's a well recognised Canberra institution. HOPS/ SCOTCH is not just a place for beers & whiskey, it's an expansive gastropub where you can enjoy a quiet arvo drink. Like Assembly down the road, it has a chameleon like quality. Hopscotch suddenly fills up with people who appear out of nowhere, which transforms it into a rowdy bar. The live music is too loud, Canberra is cold, the heaters are hot, the pub grub is mediocre. Supposedly the bartender looks like someone from MAFS?

While visiting War Memorial, we are looking for a nice and cheap food nearby. We found this place, Hopscotch (on Lonsdale Street) They offered the meal deal for $5 pizza (but U have plus a extra drink with this deal) and $10 chicken schnitzel. The food is great and fresh. Pizza paste is thin, tasty. The chicken schnitzel is beautiful and lovely, it's real one, not like factory ones. The paper corn sauce is good. The chip is very crispy. I think it's very good quality and good value, not like those terrible cheap food with no tasty. I give it 4 out of 5 base on quality and value (CP). Suggestion: The waiter should greetings when the customer walking into and tell the customers the special deal before they ask.

Hopscotch has to be one the most talked about pubs of Canberra. A must go to I was told by locals. Unfortunately I didn't see for myself what all the hype about this place was. It did has a good atmosphere but staff where not very helpful. The food we ordered was of good quality but fairly overpriced for pub food. I did like that there was games available for guest to play while enjoying a drink or two :)
