As of May 31st Hops & Harvest is now open for business. We visited on Monday for happy hour and Ogden himself was in the house making sure that everything was running smoothly and working the room. It's located in the former Double Helix Bottles & Burgers location, so park in the flat lot off of Alta for easy access to getting your hop on. While it's not a sports bar per say, they do have TVs around that were tuned to the hockey & basketball playoff games.
Their happy hour is 7 days a week from 3-6, which is an indulgence without harvesting your budget! They refer to it as, "Taps & Apps". All featured apps are $3.75 to $6 and then all beer & wine on tap is 50% off. They were out of a few beers, but that is not surprising for a new hot spot that hasn't had an opportunity to gauge demand and make adjustments to supply.
Of all of the happy hour apps, the grilled cheese bites were the winner in our group. No, actually it was the herbed tomato dipping sauce that accompanied the grilled cheese bites. It was so good we dipped almost all of the other apps in that sauce. When bartender attempted to clear the almost empty dish, it was like an over-dramatized slow motion scene. Bf groaned out a deep, breathy nooooooooooooooooooooo! Without a doubt Hops and Harvest is the current pace setter for all happy hours around; it doesn't get any better. The next time I return I plan to order one of their pork belly dishes.
