The Hopping Pig GastropubMarch 23, 2017Mention you saw us here for a $5 Peanut Butter Cup Shot or $2 off any of our speciality cocktails!
Robin BertelsJanuary 27, 2016Too many beers on tap to try them all. Fortunately, they have flights (4 x 5oz tasters), so you can sample 4 of your favorites. Or 8. Or 12 ...
Alfred AvilaJanuary 12, 2016This was a fun little place down on 5th Ave. they had a good selection of craft beers and the mussels and fries were great!
Bam GonzalezMarch 28, 201432 craft beers on tap! Excellent place to try SD beers... Ask for a Manzanita! Interesting Chile taste...
Ben Z 🍣 🍺August 9, 2014Nice craft beer selection on tap. Plenty of dark beer options to choose from.
Management & StaffApril 30, 2011Try our signature "Hopping Pig Burger" its a mix of pork & beef, topped with cognac mushrooms, pepper jack cheese, caramelized onions, roasted aioli inside a lovely bread & cie roll!
Oh my god oh my god oh my god. The burgers are just wow with the fries, especially the sweet potato fries.... yummmmmiee
Averi MelcherJanuary 15, 2015A nice atmosphere with good craft beers. Being a gastropub, their menu is a little better than your average bar food.- Lucas Barcelos de OliveiraFebruary 6, 2015Plenty of local beers from the tap to choose from! But beware, there's only a single restroom per gender, don't wait til the last minute to go...
Saibal ChakraburttyMay 15, 2013Second time here, this trip. Brussel sprouts were amazing! Carnitas tacos were sadly not that flavourable (more like sweet pulled pork).- Saibal ChakraburttyMay 13, 2013Have the Happy Hour fish tacos and blue cheese burger. Amazing California beers too. Love this place!
Taste TerminalFebruary 24, 2012Order the Crispy Pork Belly served with braised white beans and candied lemon on top. Have a sweet tooth? Get the Chocolate Bacon Crunch Bar. Read more
Kain FloresOctober 7, 2013Love this place, I'm a regular, get the Belgian vanilla stout or the any other stout or porter
Dave AmbroseJanuary 18, 2012The food here is excellent. Try the beet salad, even if you don't like beets. Calamari was also good, and happy hour prices are ver reasonable.
Nik BrowningMay 5, 2013It didn't have a line or a velvet rope. It DID have a plethora of awesome local brews and IPAs. Makes it a better bar on 5th.
Jason WOctober 5, 2012For a place with "Pig" in the name, pork needs to make a stronger showing on the menu. Fantastic barrel-aged sazerac.- Danielle TAugust 10, 2013Awesome beer selection and the pork belly app was killer. Great place will be back
Eric C.November 25, 2011Can't miss with the Gouda burger and sweet potato fries. So delicious! Lightning Thunderweizen helps wash it down.
Keri Kae GeboApril 11, 2013The bacon brussel sprouts are incredible! And the Zipotle cocktail was fab!
Dreux BroussardJuly 8, 2012Hopping Pig Burger is tasty. Gnocchi too. Dip yo fries in gnocchi sauce, like makin love.
jakubikAugust 17, 2014The only place that doesn't get ridiculously busy and doesn't have a long line to wait on a weekend night at the Gaslamp Discrict
Ryan EagleMay 3, 2012I honestly am not a big burger fan at all, but I gotta say the Hopping Pig Burger was pretty damn good, for real.
- Management & StaffMarch 25, 2011You have to try the Bakon flavored vodka..great in a Bloody Mary or chocolate Bakon martini.
Tiago RodriguesSeptember 22, 2013Severely abuses the "gastropub" moniker.... Literally 100 better spots to explain
The bacon blue cheese bruschetta is wonderful. It is so tasty.
- Management & StaffApril 20, 2011We are now open for lunch! Check out the new menu at www.thehoppingpig.com
Sofi IliashDecember 26, 2015Christmas day. 1 hour wait for burger. Burger average. No seasoning on burger or fries.
Paul LassiterFebruary 28, 2011Until I had it, I had only imagined a burger like the Blue Cheese Burger at The Hopping Pig.
