Hopscotch Bar - Canberra

Great atmosphere with tables set-up for dinner that are later moved to make room for a dance floor. <br/ <br/ Cocktails aren’t the cheapest around but they make up for it with different events on different nights like Tranny Bingo and the infamous Dildo Racing. <br/ Can see why this place is still around compared to other restaurants that have failed.

No complaints for a recent dinner here. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating great for group gatherings. Ordered at the counter and my meal came out almost instantly. Couldn't fault the meal and the portion size was generous. Only thing I would change are the chips being served under the chicken schnitzel, it made it all soft served to the side would be great. I wouldn't mind coming back again!

Regular readers will know how I love a good burger – and pickles, I’m a sucker for pickles. So it’s no surprise that I’m always willing to try the burger on the menu, which is exactly what I did when we holed up at Hopscotch on a particularly chilly afternoon. Which burger, I hear you ask? The specials menu offered a pulled beef burger with wholegrain mustard and pickles. Sold. The food took a surprisingly long time to come out, given how quiet the place was, but when it did the plate was packed full of chips (and there was plenty of burger too). The fries here are great – thin and generally crisp (I reckon they could have been in for a tad longer this time around) they’re also nicely seasoned – very moreish. The burger was

Good combo of great beer and decent food. Probably not at debacle standards yet but staff are friendly and happy to take you through the beers, only tried a couple of dishes off the menu which were quick and good for what is essentially a pub. Top atmosphere and a seat outside under umbrella with fan and water spray is a must for a post work summer beer

Chicken Schnitzel deal $13 chips and salad plus a beer absolutely fantastic deal. Try the chocolate brownie as well. Not a fan of the rum and raisin ice cream but the choc b is one of the best in town. Overall the food is really good and the stakes are reasonably priced, especially when compared to an overpriced chain that many people may have heard of (Hogsbreath). The service is great and I'm happy to call Hopsotch my local with a friendly twist.
