Allentown: Hops at the Paddock (June 2019)



My spouse and I dined at Hops at the Paddock for dinner on a Saturday evening in June 2019. Hops is open daily for lunch, dinner, drinks, late night, and in between, except for Mondays, when it opens in the later afternoon. 

Hops at the Paddock opened in April 2011 in South Whitehall Township in the space formerly occupied by the restaurant The Paddock (hence the attribution of the current restaurant’s name). The owners of Hops also operate Hops at the Fogelsville Hotel. 

Hops at the Paddock offers indoor dining at the bar, at free-standing tables, or in booths. A private side dining room is also available. Outdoors, patrons dine on the existing front porch, or on the beautiful new patio that even includes a gas fireplace and outdoor TV. Plenty of parking is available on both sides of the building.

Hops serves pub fare, including appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, stromboli, more formal entrees (pasta, steaks, seafood), and the thin-crust pizza (tomato pie) made famous by the original Paddock. On the night that we dined, we shared the homemade pierogies (deliciously sauteed with onions but also available fried) and the turkey club sandwich. A full liquor license is available. 

We enjoyed our time on the patio at Hops at the Paddock.
