About this place
Step inside GLASS HOPPER and the first temptation is to crowd the table with fragrant smoked specialties. Alongside an assorted smoked platter gathering 7 varieties on one dish, the menu features a diverse spread of smaller plates designed to bring out the best in each ingredient—from smoked eggs finished with anchovy mayonnaise to smoked cheese paired with honey. With low-and-slow smoked pistachios and sliced smoked octopus also on offer, there is plenty to nibble on while exploring rotating beers, wine, and hard liquor.
Diners looking for a heartier meal will want to turn toward the grilled and roasted meats. The homemade roast beef, sealed with garlic oil to lock in aroma and rich savor, pairs readily with beer and earns praise from visitors. Options such as a Half & Half plate comparing the beef against pork roast marinated in spices and aromatic vegetables, alongside signature spare ribs roasted in a sweet-savory homemade glaze, provide satisfying centerpieces that keep conversation flowing.
Beyond regular draft and bottled beers, the drinks line-up spans beer cocktails like shandy gaffs, standards including the gin buck and Moscow mule, and refreshing sour cocktails. Operating from 18:00 in the evening until 25:00 late at night, the venue offers both open table seating and private rooms, making it a comfortable drop-in whether gathering with friends or settling in for an unhurried nightcap.
