The Hoptimist

Only thing that it could do to improve & get more customers is to get Sky sports

What a great little find local to us. Cocktail bar upstairs, huge beer garden, great vibe for Saturday afternoon. Will definitely go back.

Brilliant refurb and looks great outside for summer

Great place to visit atmosphere was brilliant and the new cocktail bar upstairs was great to definitely would recommend.

Bit expensive and not much to choose from ciders they don't even do dark fruits

Steps to the front and a step at the rear. Wheelchair users can get into the beer garden but struggle to get indoors.

Just the same only a lick of paint

First time going in for yearsSunday night karaokeGood bar staff friendly customers

The place as a whole isn't too bad, but some of the staff need some serious customer service training. We had booked the cocktail bar upstairs for a birthday - no-one mentioned any time limit when it was booked etc, but the waitress was extremely rude to us (and other groups that were there) after we'd only been sat down for an hour. This is aside from the fact drinks took ages as there was only one person working, and they were mostly all done wrong (I've never had a sour tasting french martini before!).After we got kicked out from the upstairs area (before we'd finished drinks, seems very much like they'd overbooked it and it was our fault...), We went downstairs and the atmosphere was a lot better. The live music was good, and drinks didn't take half an hour (pork scratchings are also great)!If you're looking for a nice place to have a few chilled drinks and watch some sport, it's great. If you're after a nice cocktail place to enjoy a special occasion, try somewhere else.

First time in tonight good atmosphere nice friendly staff nice place enjoying every minute
