The Hop Stop

The Hop Stop is a casual Poway beer garden and neighborhood eatery on Midland Road, pairing craft beer with pizza, burgers, salads, and relaxed outdoor-friendly dining. It is a good fit when the group wants a low-pressure place to eat, drink, and hang out near Old Poway rather than a formal restaurant.

The public schedule is strongest for afternoon and evening visits, with Friday and Saturday hours running a bit later than most weekdays. The location and format make it especially useful for after-work beers, casual family dinners, weekend lunches, and meetups with friends who want food options alongside the beer list.

Check the official site or call before visiting for current beer selection, kitchen hours, events, and patio availability.
