Hops & Hounds allowed us to host our Real Estate Team's 4th Annual "Howl-O-Ween" event in their beautiful space! 😍 The H&H crew was absolutely incredible in helping our firm's vision come to life! The space was perfect with its ample space between their wood benches and their tables & chairs. Plenty of room for friends and furry friends to stroll around. The trees canopy the area while the San Antonio River skirts the bottom edge of the park-like setting. BONUS: The Cuban sandwich from Benjie's is FIRE!! 🔥 The quaint little open-air bar is welcoming whether you sit and chat with the friendly bartenders or order from the walk-up windows. A super fun feature at Hops & Hounds is their amazing bark & play space for your playful pups of all sizes! 😂 You can sit and enjoy watching your doggos run through, on top, and around the various obstacles. My wife, Jennifer Alvarado, is the event coordinator for our brokerage, RE Solutions XV. And if you were at this year's event, you got to meet her when you registered your cute pets for the costume contests! If you missed this year's event, there's always next year! Until then, we encourage you to visit and support this wonderful place! They'll love your company and your fur babies, too! SPECIAL NOTE: This year's Howl-O-Ween event benefited AniMeals, a partnered organization of Meals-on-Wheels. We raised over $800 and brought in enough food to feed 100 pets next month! AniMeals helps feed the beloved pets of Seniors and Veterans. ❤️ And we were happy to have them on-site to witness the love and generosity of our community! Thank you, Hops & Hounds! And thank you to EVERYONE who participated this year! Your friends, Val Aranda A Wonderful Life Real Estate Group Jennifer Alvarado SocialHeights Networking Brokered by RE Solutions XV

Really cool and relaxed place to bring your dogs and have some drinks. There's plenty of space for you and your dog to chill. There's a bunch of tables and chairs and lots of TVs to watch a game. The drinks are good. I was pleasantly surprised by their beer selection. They don't have their own food, but they do have some food trucks in the corner of the place that have pretty solid food!

Hobbs & Hounds is such a gem for dog lovers and foodies alike! 🐾 The space is wide, full of energy, and packed with seating options—picnic tables, fans to keep you cool, and plenty of screens to catch the game while you enjoy food from the taco trucks and drinks from the bar. The highlight is definitely the dog play area: ramps, toys, balls, and open space where pups can run freely off leash while owners relax. Families, friends, and their four-legged companions all have a spot here. And let’s not forget the music—DJ Anthony (switchbladedave) kept the atmosphere alive with great beats, adding to the fun vibe of the patio. It really makes the place not just a hangout, but an experience. We’re also thrilled to share that Hobbs & Hounds is now No Pet Policy™ Approved ✅. Supporting local, supporting community, and opening their doors to our four-legged partners.

I really love this place. I foud this hops & hounds better put together than the other one. Which I heard was closed down to several reasons. They have someone at the gates monitoring the larger dog park area and the smaller dog park area. She is very friendly, kind and amazing and well knowledgeable about dogs. You can tell one she has a deep understanding of animals and a great love for animals. I also think it's cool that they have this bathe your dog station. After play time is offer. Is $15 for 20min. We have two small Bostons so we knock two birds with one stone. And she gave us some towels to dry them since they were not having it with the blow dryer lol My babies were so happy to interact with other dogs. And they other dog parents were very polite and friendly. I had a very pleasant experience and I can't wait to go back and I am sure my fur babies either. The bathroom facility were c Kept clean and if there was an issue you just bring it to their attention and they take care of it right away. I love how attentive they were to keep a bathroom clean for their customers. If I could give more than five stars I would. As for food trucks. The options they had the day we went....Lobster truck very delicious but super expensive. Amazingly good but will I buy again for the price nah. Another food truck had different selection probably american food/Tex Mex maybe. My daughter hater the corn in the cup. I don't like it to begin with but I tried a bit and I have to agree it tasted like vomit. So um we kept it safe and exchanged for just plane fries. The other truck wasn't working that day. The bar has good mix drinks, over price if you ask me. But I got it for my husband. It was good he like it. ***Military Discount accepted here***

They are the best local bars. Great bartender. Maxine made my best friends wedding event a hit by providing a last minute reserved space and a champagne toast for the party! You dont need a hound to hop on by lol

Absolutely love this bar!!! The dog park is so much fun for the pups. We enjoyed the bar and food truck on site for a casual night out, and hanging at their dog park with friends.

Dana Oerman

Wow!! Anytime we travel, we look for a dog friendly place that has an off leash area for the pups. This place is wonderful. The pizza was delish the coffee drinks were so good and the staff was friendly. The dog park area had tons of room and fun activities for the pups. This is a MUST stop if you have dogs. Let them get out and run around while you grab a bite to eat. Very clean and safe area for them to play in. Great job, whoever owns this!! We definitely will be back here if we are in TX again. Thanks for the fun time

We were at Elsewhere next door when their ability for making cocktails left little to be desired. Meandered over to Hops and Hounds where they made us really good cocktails and mocktails. Cute place that had an agility course for your pups. Bartenders were super nice and the restrooms were clean. Glad we came upon this little spot.

Nick Windy

The is an amazing place to take your dogs. I love Hops and Hounds. They have an amazing dog park that they provide for our fur babies water dishes, kiddie pools with water, fans, obstacles. You can also sit and relax while watching the game. Eat...drink and have a puppy blast. Highly recommend.

My dogs can never get enough of Hops!! Love the food trucks, happy hour deals, trivia, bingo…they have it all! The workers are so kind. They love on my babies every time we are there and always make sure we have water in our bowls. We do the monthly pass and it has been more than worth it. Love love love this place.

So much fun!! And family friendly - not sure what the other reviews I’ve seen are talking about… leash-free area just requires an owner 18+ to be supervising like most public dog parks do anyways. Off leash area is $5/day or $25/month and kept much nicer than a public dog park. There are two sections (smaller dog and bigger dog). Helpful employees, fairly priced delicious food and drinks, bathrooms good, really nice area and ambience. My wife and I (and our dog Pickle) will be regulars here for sure!

They have a great selection of beers and liquor. This place has Mango Cart beer which made my day. This is a very low key place so dress comfortably and bring your dog.

I would love to give it 5 stars, but often the outdoor music is still too loud for even outdoor communication, there's not great monitoring of people leaving their dog mess around the eating areas (not enough staff or consequences for dog owners that don't use the dog poop materials provided for clean up). No cash is allowed for the coffee or beverage counter on site, so come prepared. The food is awesome at each of the trucks available. There are plenty of places to sit, with water stations posted in several spots. Staff has maintained friendly demeanor regardless of what time I've arrived, and there are plenty of shaded areas for people and pups. Plenty of room to work on your puppy/dog skills, just like any area for dogs/food/drinks, be mindful of your dog's manners and ask before up to pet new dogs!

My husband and I were looking for a place to watch the NFL playoff game with some friends, and we stopped by the day before the game to ask if they would show the game. The bartender told us that the game would be on, the game sound would be played through the loud speakers, and there would be beer deals. So we had our friends meet us the next day. When we arrived, the game was on, but there was a DJ playing club music , and there were no beer deals whatsoever. There were probably 40-50 people there specifically to watch the game, and they all had to yell over the music to talk to each other and ask what was happening in the game because there was no sound. Our dog and about half of the other dogs there were shaking and terrified because of the loud bass speakers (at a place thats supposedly specifically designed for dogs and their owners) and none of the people there seemed to be enjoy the music whatsoever. Rather, they were frustrated that they had to deal with it while trying to watch the game. We ended up leaving early because our dog was too scared and we weren't able to enjoy the game with our friends because of the music. It was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. A waste of time and money, especially when we don't get to get together with our friends often it felt like this was a ruined opportunity. Especially since we stopped by the day before to ask specifically about the game and the sound, and we were given wildly incorrect information that ended up ruining our day.

It was very quiet, and I sat at the bar for about 25 minutes without being served (still waiting). On top of that, there was an aggressive dog in the dog park, and staff did not step in to remove it, even though the dog clearly wasn’t comfortable being there. This was disappointing, especially because I’ve had good experiences here before. On occasion, service has been decent, and the dog park is usually full of friendly dogs. Staff has typically been proactive about enforcing rules and addressing aggressive behavior, which is why today felt like an exception rather than the norm.

If you're hoping to catch a spurs game go somewhere else. Asked to watch the game and play the audio, but staff refused. Vibes were dead she was way too loud on a Sunday night

Attended for day off & friends dogs 5th bday party. Older mans black shepherd was out of control dragging my frenchie by its harness around constantly picking on him. When addressing owner they came at me aggressively despite multiple reports nothing was done. I left for own good & fact he could stay is not right. Was told to deal with it or leave with threats. Not what I thought this place represented
