I hosted my pre wedding rehearsal here and it was amazing!!! I wanted to do something that I could include all wedding guest that had travel to the area. They have a separate room you can use. They see up a buffet with all different kinds of delicious food. The drinks were great and the best was the staff and hospitality. Nancy the manager and their staff were amazing. I would 1 billion percent recommend this restaurant not just for dinner but specifically for any event!!!

Simply wow place. We wanted eat around UConn and found this gem. Food, service, atmosphere all are amazing! Looking to sit outside in summer. We ordered potato soup, caprese flatbread, Nashville chicken sandwiches fried and grilled both were awesome! We also had fried cauliflower bites, they were good too. I loved all the homemade sauces like hot and sweet came with cauliflower bites. Spicy sauce in chicken sandwiches was just wow! We also had beer and it was great! This is must visit place! I will go again to try more food!!kids ordered warm cookie with ice cream and it was delicious! Update: 9/21-Berry pudding was awesome too. Chicken wrap was good. Arugula salad was missing something.

Great staff, hands down the best. I was there for a function a few days ago and was impressed with the comfortable atmosphere, appetizers and staff who were perfectly accommodating. So I stopped by again for an apple walnut salad with chicken and cheeseburger sliders, both were fantastic. They have board games, a big bar and a strong Husky vibe. I'll most certainly be back. Plenty of parking, enter on Rt44 just west of the intersection with Rt195.

The service here was simply fantastic. It seemed like we had a staff of servers dedicated to our table. The teamwork was fantastic, and the food was delicious.

After several tries (please note the business hours) we finally made it to Hops 44, and I was glad we did. The UConn students had dispersed for the summer and service was excellent. I can only imagine the sound level... They had a large collection of games by the door to keep you amused while consuming liquid and other refreshments. The beer selection was large and quite varied, and the barbecue selections most tempting. I got the three taco barbecue assortment (each one tastier than the last), son swiftly enveloped his cheeseburger and fries, and my wife enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich. It was the sort of meal you would have savoured again if you weren't so delightfully full. We SHALL return!

I hadn’t really been to any restaurants in the Storrs area until going to Hops 44, and my expectations were exceeded! It was clear to see why they were recognized as having the second best wings in the state, and the elote dip, bacon, and margarita flight were all fantastic. Our waitress and the owner were both so friendly, and we loved the vibe of the restaurant! If you’re a UCONN student, you’re lucky to be near such a great place. I’ll be keeping Hops 44 in mind for places to stop on the way back from a trip up north too!

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I ordered the taco sampler and the porkopolis. I had three types of tacos, brisket, pork, and chicken. All three were very good but the pork was my favorite. Great flavor and texture. It came with two sides, mac n Cheese and baked beans. The max n Cheese was very good and the beans even better. The porkooolis is a pretzel dough Flatbread that also truly impressed me. And the young lady, Madeleine, who took my order and checked me out was also outstanding. Great personality and very helpful. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.1.
