I guess anyone can call themselves a Gastro-Pub these days. Gastro-Pubs are popping up all over the country and some are better than others. The key ingredients in a gastro-pub are a wide selection of beers, a menu that expresses variety & creativity, mature atmosphere/ambience, and a knowledgeable staff. The beverages at a Gastro-Pub should complement the menu. While Noblehops does have an extensive collection of brews, those brews don’t pair well with much on the menu. The brew selection far outshines there dining options. A $12 beer doesn’t go well with $10 Hummus from a can. The noblehops menu is limited and very uncreative. I order several small plates for our group, and all of them look like they could have been prepared by the wait staff and not a chef. A lot of the food tasted canned. I think they NobleHops should be downgraded from “Gastro-Pub” to “fancy bar with a kitchen”. The NobleHops staff isn’t very well versed in what their location has to offer either. They can’t tell you much about the menu and they don’t seem to be very interested in paying attention to the customers. I guess we were there near closing time, but they didn’t want to be bothered with filling orders or bringing back drinks. The outdoor space was really nice and the indoor ambiance was “Pier One” or “Ikea” sexy, but I will give them credit for trying. Overall C-. If you are going to NobleHops eat before you go to avoid the overpriced food and sit at the bar to get the best service.

We were there on Friday night, U of A's first game so the place was not as busy as it always is so Chef Eldridge had time to make us a few of his special dishes and it was outstanding and delicious. Our food server Kaitlyn gave us amazing service, always coming by to see if we needed anything else. I wish we had more days to spend to go back again and again!

Loved patio but they cater to cigar smokers so be warned!! Great selection of beer!!

Good food. Great service. Good drinks.

A group of us went to Noble Hops last Thursday. We were greeted as we walked in and seated right away. I was a little concerned as I thought it would be trafficy near the door, but we had no disturbances. The wait staff was great - I changed y order with another server after it had been turned in and once the food was served, the original server thought I had received the incorrect order; I was pleased that she was observant and wanted to make sure everything was right. We shared several appetizers and ordered a number of different entrees and salads. Everyone had a different beer and we were all impressed with the beer choices. The food was nicely served, fresh and delicious.
