The Hoppy Monk - El Paso

What a wonderful accidental find!

We had a couple hours to spend before a show and happened in here.

Beer selection to make your head spin. Local beers, Belgian beers, craft beers, specials you can't find anywhere else. Full bar with amazing bourbon and Scotch selections. We had planned on dinner after the show, so opted for munchies.

The BEST fried mushrooms I had eaten in ages. Huge, delicious and a lovely compliment of sauces.

The brussel sprouts were also better than most I have had a nice restaurants lately.

Go here. Enjoy a flight. Make friends. Eat well.

This is my 4th time here and the one constant is the service: it's not very good. Each time, I get an absent, indifferent server. We stay for about 1.5 - 2 hours because we're waiting. Waiting for orders to be taken. Waiting for food. Waiting for a second beer. Last time, we waited 45 minutes for the check.
Last visit, I ordered the Rueben sandwich. It was ok. My bread was a little stale. The fries were forgettable. My wife had a green chile cheeseburger that was great with fresh ingredients and nice spice from the chile. My daughter's cauliflower wings were excellent too. They came with a sticky sweet sauce and I'd be happy to come back just for that. The beer, when you do eventually get it, is ok. It could be colder.
The inside is ok. Tables and chairs are well worn but comfortable. I sat inside by the wall and I was freezing even though it was blazing hot outside (it was May). I will probably be back with my vegan daughter for those wings, but I won't be beating down the door.

I don't understand how this place has such great reviews.
The location is terrible & the service is not great. The beer I had that took forever was tasty but that's just about it.

I'm a bit confused. Did I miss something?

So we haven't visited this place for a while. Last time we came here it was like two stars. The service is always slow here. The ambience is always the same. The food is consistently good.

Excellent service and absolutely the most amazing food. I love buffalo wings, but their wings are unforgettable. So much better than buffalo flavor. The burgers alert the best I've ever had. 100% recommend, best spot in El Paso for a burger and wings.

Blue Fox burger is a MUST try! The drinks are also pretty good but if you get there during dinner vs earlier, you'll risk not having a specific drink since it's a popular spot on the west. Waitress/waiters are always extremely nice and pups are allowed in outdoor seating.

One of our favorites in EP.

The food is always fresh and incredibly flavorful - we have tried nearly the whole menu and have yet to be disappointed. We love to sit out on the patio with our kids - very welcoming space, nice cover from the sun. Service is always fast and friendly, have never had a bad experience.

I can't say I've ever seen a high chair there so unsure if they have them, as an FYI for those with small kids.

The drinks from the bar are always strong and well mixed, my husband has no complains from the beer side of things.

Great place to have a meet up with friends!

My previous review still remains but just wanted to update a year later.

The Gonju Chicken Wings are still some of my favorite wings in town.

The beers are exceptional though snobby in price.

But you also can't beat their beer/shot combo for $5 if you're just wanting a beer and a shot of tequila. Can't recommend the atmosphere and the food at this place enough.

Great selection of local beers. The food is really tasty too. Service was great and very friendly. Ambiance is very casual. Definitely worth supporting.

Found this on a drive from Houston to Phoenix. Made a point to come back! Happy hour Old Fadhioned and pints were a big hit, and enjoyed a great cider and a tasty sour as well.

Chili burger was good and the RUEBEN was OUTSTANDING.

They support local, which is great!
