This place is so fun! They have a huge record collection that you can dig through and if you want to hear something you find, you just lay it out and they put it on. The food and drinks were fantastic and so reasonably priced and portions are generous. They have a good selection of local drinks on tap. Service was fantastic from everyone. I was only visiting Charlottetown, but if I lived there I would for sure be back. They also have multiple (delicious) vegan options, which I greatly appreciated. My dining partner had a flight of 3 completely different kinds of poutine and said it was fantastic. Whatever aioli they put on their fries is unreal. So good. I stopped in on a Wednesday night, not knowing they were playing music bingo - they play a brief clip of a song, you have to identify it and find it on your card if it is there. They handed out cards and dabbers, explained the rules, and off we went. Service continued efficiently throughout, it was well-organized. I ended up winning 🏆 (yay!), but would have had a lot of fun even if I hadn’t.

Absolutely delicious food/beers, great atmosphere and very quick and attentive service. If you’re vegetarian this is a must go! One of the first times i’ve gone to a non-vegan restaurant and had lots of options to choose from! We will certainly be returning when the new menu drops to see what other dishes they will create!

We visited Hopyard for a late lunch around 3 pm, and the place was nearly empty, with just one person handling both serving and bartending. Initially, I was concerned that having only one server might result in a long wait, but he quickly took our drink order and followed up with our main course soon after. The food arrived promptly, and the Ultimate Burger I ordered was outstanding—one of the best I've ever had. The burger was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside, topped with a mouthwatering sauce, and served with homestyle fries garnished with green onion and mayo. Impressively, the server noticed that my 8-year-old is a picky eater and wisely served the fries without the green onion and mayo. Overall, the food was excellent, and I highly recommend this place.

Great service and good food with a good diverse beer selection. The menu is a little eclectic but all items we ordered were spot on including brisket grilled cheese and the fried potato salad appetizer. Good collection of vinyl records. Pick one out and they’ll but it in queue to play. Sometimes there’s even live music.

Wonderful drinks, they change the menu every month completely, I like the concept but some of the ideas need to be worked on more for example there is a vegetarian ramen on the menu with the wrong type of noodles!

★★★★★

I had such a lovely experience here. Half the menu is vegetarian, most of which can be made vegan. They serve creative dishes with international influences, and their menu changes every 2 weeks so you'll always have something new and exciting to try. I personally ordered the vegan Hawaiian plate lunch crunch wrap, which was delicious and came in a huge portion. My omnivore family loved the vegetarian dishes they got too. Well located near downtown Charlottetown. Nice outdoor seating area on the street. Reasonable prices. Friendly service. Cozy vibe and lots of vinyl records that you can choose to be played.

One of my favourite restaurants in PEI right now.... menu changes every few weeks and is always great. Lots of beer and cider on top. 2024 Update: the menu has changed a lot post Covid, fewer small plates options and I miss those... Its more regular meals which are still good but I loved being able to try several things.

When I went to hopyard I had pasta and had a really bad allergic reaction. The server told me that there were no nuts in the food but that is my only allergy and I was quite sick from the food. The service was quite slow as the server rarely ever came out to check on us. The icing on the bad experience was how long the food took to come out, we waiting for our food for over 30 minutes. I had one bit of the pasta before my allergic reaction and they still charged for the pasta. Overall terrible experience and would not recommend

We use to have one in Halifax, until it shut down sadly. So when I came here for vacation. Saw that Hopyard was still open so I had to go in. The fact that they do what they did in Halifax was change the menu, monthly is great! I went on Wednesday, it was trivia night. The server (Brandon) was a total sweetheart. Im glad I went. One amazing thing about Hopyard I forgot to mention with the menu changes monthly half is vegetarian/vegan and half isnt so theres something for everyone.

We had great service, and it was a nice environment. My only complaint was that the food we ordered was coated in so many different rich sauces and it was very salty. Having a sensitive tummy sometimes, all the sauce/salt made the food hard to eat - if I had known I would have requested lessss sauce. But I can see how people love this place.

December 21, 2023

We stopped in after a walk for a bite to eat and a beer. The server was rude and not at all helpful. She acted like we were putting her out when asking which beers were available. She suggested we get up and go look in the fridge. Terrible experience. Food was average. Hard to believe customer service has come to this. We would recommend you try somewhere else.

What a terrible place to eat and hang out with friends and family!!! Negative 8 Stars !! First of all, you feel really cramped (not enough space to sit comfortably) Secondly, its so terribly noisy in there you cant even hear your own words. Finally, the food, it is beyond rudeness/ scam. You pay very high prices for such pretentious and mediocre meals, coming in the most pathetic little portions youll ever see!! I took my parents there and we actually believed that our meals were little appetizers, I am so embarrassed and outraged!! Please avoid this money grab, there are so many other better restaurants/bars that offer a great atmosphere with meals that are priced adequately and fair!!

It doesnt look like much. But the second you stick your head in the door you are welcomed by a warm and chill staff. The back wall is covered in vinyl and there is a central table in the back where you can sift through a suprisingly well curated collection of vinyl the the staff will put on for you with a smile. The beer selection is quite good. The vibe while selecting beer is pretty slick with bartender ready to let you taste anything. The food: a menu that changes often, is small and exciting. True fusion that can cater to dietary restrictions such as vegan and GF. The food was special. I mean, it is out there in terms of concept, i.e. kimchi nachos. The dishes are full of bold flavours, layers of pickled things, homemade sauces and subtle textures. Let me say this, the food is very good. Suprisingly so. Elements of a beautiful mess may be present on your plate, but in your mouth it all makes sense, a lot of sense. Its very original through and through, from first contact to the service style and even interactions with the owner. The content found within the four walls punches way above its weight and really puts into perspective how so many restaurants dont have their priorities straight. These guys really have their ducks in a row in an easy, vibey kind of way. A+

My family and I are so grateful we stumbled upon this place, the service was impeccable, atmosphere was lovely, and the food was absolutely delicious. They change their menu each month which we think is super cool and as a family with a million allergies (celiac, seafood, nuts, dairy, soy, etc) we were delighted by the precautions taken and assurance that we were in the right hands. I love my family, but we tend to be very stuck-up when it comes to trying new restaurants as we have high expectations this restaurant blew us out of the water! We cannot wait to come back and are even more excited to try a whole new menu! Trying this is a must, whether you just want a drink or are looking for a delectable meal the Hopyard is the place to be!

This was a great find in Charlottetown for our vegetarian fam! A whole page of yummy options (vegan options too!) and the atmosphere was great. We sat outside and it was a nice street + a few dogs came over from other customers and added to our fun. We had the potato chip nachos which were lovely, and my sister had the Greek grilled cheese-type meal. I recommend for anyone visiting Charlottetown.

My expectations were high seeing this rated extremely high. However, after ordering food, it was very far from what I expected. Food all had a very weird flavor. I had poutine but it was way too sweet (the thing had general tao flavor combined with a lot of pineapple bits and nothing to balance out all these sweet flavors a bit). Portion per plate/bowl was way too small. The table we were had broken chairs. All and all, I did not like my experience in this place. Couldve been preventable.

Wow, amazing food at decent prices. Fantastic vegetarian options. We loved the Korean corn cheese pizza, broccoli bites, grinder, and tofu tacos. Even the side salad was fantastic with a creamy but not gloopy dressing and marinated cucumbers to add a real kick. Open and welcoming vibe with hundreds of old records you can flip through and bring to the bar and they ll play a whole side for you. The staff were charming and helpful and had actual personalities; none of that plastic Hi my name is Dave and I ll be your server stuff. We were only in PEI 24 hours and went here twice because we couldn t imagine finding anywhere better. Vegetarian options: Not the same old boring pub food of veggie burgers etc. Dietary restrictions: Very willing to accommodate vegans.

couple of points highlighted! dog friendly patio, modded burger, excellent manner and service. been here with family and my husky on the patio at 12.25. server is well dressed, and food was fast. the pulled pork burger is juicy and tender. modded fries with coconut curry mixed with wine is perfect for poutine! 100% recommend. two shewers seems kinda exp for a dish, but the taste is making me satisfied. tender, sweet and pepper taste is like northern asian style. whoever makes the recipe sure is something. this place was not that busy plus good manners. it derserve more popularity and good reviews.

I loved the concept behind Hopyard when they first opened. Love going here for small plates to share, and you dont mind taking a risk on something with ingredients you dont instantly recognize because of the portion size with price to match. I hadnt been in for a while but I was surprised to find the menu prices doubled, while the portions still seem small but with a side added. I had never before left without raving about how good my meal was, but this last visit I found the food kind of bland and mediocre. The service was good, music was good but Im not sure Ill be back soon...

Looks like a great place but they all seem lost on who does what. The food was good but didnt describe if it was spicy or sour or sweet. The servers didnt seem to be able to answer any questions. Would I go back....there are too many other great places to eat and enjoy your night out so no. Its too bad because it could be great if they cared.

Schnitzel and noodles were bland and flavorless. I would not recommend it. Although, the autobahn sausage was really good!

Mike, one of the owners, was very friendly and has a great personality. He went the extra mile. Unique menu with tasty selections. Love that they have vinyl playing all the time. A good place to give your business to. Vegetarian options: They have marked selections on the menu with your dietary needs in mind. Parking out front was good.

This place has some great bites and a great variety of beer. One of the guys at my table asked for a sour beer and they didnt have any in stock. Our waiter went to a couple of neighboring brewery and restaurants to see if he could find one. No luck, but an amazing thing for him to do. Hats off to exceptional customer service.

This was the perfect retreat on a hot June afternoon in Charlottetown. I d read about their vinyl collection and found the experience of leafing through albums recalled a forgotten, now nostalgic sensation of muscle memory. The bartender was very kind and tolerated my Otis Redding selections. If I had it to do again, I d stick with the Copper Bottom Red, but go with Joan Armitrading for the music.

I am quite hard to blow away with a restaurant experience, but this one DEFINITELY did. The Lone Oak South Shore Sour was PHENOMENAL, the BBQ burger on the menu at the time was to die for, and the fries were amazingly salty with a delicious and tantalizing garlic aioli. The cocktail selection was sub par, but everything else was faaaaaaantastic

This restaurant cannot be beat for affordability, and selection. The food is fantastic and the menu changes every two weeks. It is divided into meat and vegetarian dishes for quick reference. As a vegetarian I love this. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Also the beer selection is killer. Lots of island and maritime beers and ciders to try. Definitely a place to try.

Our waitress Kate was extremely patient and catered to the dietary restrictions as if they were her own. We are going to come back right before we leave.

I would give this place 3 stars for the fact they have the copper bottom beers as they have been my favourite brewery on PEI so far. The waitress was great, fast and friendly and I was always taken care of. Water refills were always there. It would have been a 5 stars if my food was good, but I really found my dish was very bland. I ordered the noodles, it comes with a few veggies in it and covered in a jerk sauce. Sounds pretty decent? But it really had no flavour at all. Just a nice comfortable heat but no flavour. I would try something else on the menu if I found myself back in Charlottetown.

An interesting experience. Service was slow on a Friday but that didn t bother me because the staff was knowledgable and friendly. I tried the blueberry radler and found it tasty and a good balance of sweetness. The fried chicken tacos were juicy and flavourful and I didn t mind the mess. The Shanghai noodles weren t your typical udon noodles but had a good spice. I found the seating the most uncomfortable (the high top bar chairs meant for slipping off and having sweaty legs). The table space itself was also cramped. For these reasons I wasn t comfy and couldn t wait to leave. It was also unreasonably hot.

Went for lunch with my mother and pregnant fiance. I had the Tofu Brisket Sandwich (which was covered in a tasteless sauce), and split Big Mac Fries and Tempura Broccoli with my fiance. We ended up getting food poisoning, and are now at the QEH waiting to see a doctor. Food safety is an important issue for pregnant women, and in the worst cases, food poisoning can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or premature delivery... I havent had bad experiences much at all here (maybe once before), but this experience has sadly caused us to reconsider coming here for the forseeable future. However, the wait staff was really friendly, and knowledgeable, though i had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for a refill (only 2 tables were in the restaurant).

Very cool spot, nice servers, good vibes all around. More seasonally-appropriate options on tap would be ideal. Beyond impressive that a chef can come up with 25-30 new dishes every two weeks. Even if several of them have no business being served to others.

The food was outstanding! The vegetarian/vegan options are some of the best Ive ever had. My only reason for being a 4 star instead of 5 was that our waitress was not incredibly friendly or attentive. Otherwise, the food is delicious here!

December 21, 2022

Good decor and theme. I ordered the lamb noodles which was missing feta. My friend ordered the pad Thai broc. It was only deep fried broccoli dressed as pad Thai. It would be helpful if they mentioned that there are no noodles in the description. My other friend ordered cheesy fried rice which had no cheese at all.

This eclectic, interesting establishment is a pleasure to the taste buds. The beer choices are wide and varied with a focus on independent, micro-breweries. The menu not only offers great choices, but its a pleasure to read. The service was friendly and quick, despite the busy lunch time crowd. The food itself was superb; it had the taste and appearance of it being thoughtfully prepared. This place deserves recognition not just for its support of local food and beverages, but being wonderfully different.

When Hopyard first opened and proclaimed that they were bringing something new to Charlottetown, I went with a friend and ordered every single dish at once. 6yrs later, Ive been several times and everything from the vibe to the food lacks creativity, lacks soul and lacks any kind of the vibe they proclaimed to procure. The food is predictably over salted to appeal to alcoholics. The music and vibe is cliche. The lack of alcohol options is ridiculous for a pub/bar. (They only carry 1 kind of Vodka and its terrible!) The patrons are predictably the unsophisticated locals who lack the skills to entertain at home yet wish to be seen in public. You can tell by their body language that theyre more aware of their surroundings than the conversations at the table. The staff are accutely aware that theyre selling a vibe and they understand the hypocrisy of selling something old while marketing it as new. Ask a staff member simple questions about a dish, a drink or how to queue up a record and youre met with unexcited and tired answers. There seems to be more passion by the owners into figuring out whats marketable rather than for the restaurant itself. It seems as if the owners somehow packaged an awkward moment and use the atmosphere of that awkward moment to declare theres some kind of prestige for being there and thats a justification for $20 barely shareable fries. My guess is they wanted to steal marketshare from Upstreet yet create a cozy/regulars vibe like the Triangle. Nearly every spot in town has a regulars scene because their layout allows it. Hipsteryard wants you to think of it like a 90s basement record store but in reality its more like a food truck with a cover charge.
