Anyone remember Hops Microbrew Restaurant?

[roadman65]

I remember back in the 1990s a place called Hops. They were a chain that pioneered the Micro Brew trend.

Has anyone here ever remembered them?

I recall going to the one at Potomac Yard in Alexandria, Virginia, once or twice about 24 years ago. As far as I know, it's still there. (edited to add: The sign was still there when the Street View car went through in 2022, but news reports say it closed in 2020.)

They had one in Coral Springs, and it was a decent hangout. They kept bringing you the honey-butter rolls, which were a meal by itself.

Ha, I just drove past it last weekend and I'm pretty sure the signage was still up.

I saw Don Pablo is something else now, too.  A shame - sure, it was far from authentic, but I enjoyed the food for what it was.

Never been to one, but always sad that Applebee's and TGI Friday's persist in the face of these places failing.
