| - I had never heard of Hoopples before this past weekend when my friend decided to have his birthday celebration there. I definitely think it's a hidden gem, as I've driven past it and never even noticed it. It's in Ohio City on Columbus Avenue but still close to the w 25th bars.
When we got here about 8:30 on a Friday night, the bar area was crowded and all the tables were taken, but there was plenty of standing room. As the night progressed, the place got pretty packed. I overheard one guy say that he goes there often, and he's only ever seen it empty or completely packed, with no in-between.
Since I had skipped dinner, I decided to order some chicken fingers and seasoned fries. The chicken fingers were thing and pretty average, but they gave you a good amount. The helping of fries was also substantial and was delicious. They season it with some kind of spices and what tasted like a lot of pepper, and they were very good!
To drink, my friends and I mostly stuck to beer. I'm a fan of IPAs, and the chicken fingers, fries, and maybe 3 bells 2 hearteds came to I think $25 or so, so it's not an insanely pricey joint for The Ohio City area.
Overall my experience was good and I will definitely be back!
