27 Rue de la Martinière, 69001 Lyon, France
· Beer hall, Hamburger restaurant
· 4.5/5 Google (3088 reviews)
Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Lively beer hall with strong burger-and-fries comfort food and an expansive beer list; great vibes but service can wobble during busy hours.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
HOPSTORE delivers competitive quality on par with respected local beer hall favorites through strong burger and fries execution and knowledgeable beer guidance. However, quality variation in meat preparation and menu reliability combined with service inconsistency during crowded periods prevents higher-grade territory. The lively atmosphere and excellent beer selection make it worth visiting for casual dining and groups, though expect variable pacing at peak times.
Restaurant Summary
At HOPSTORE the room feels warm and bustling from late afternoon through the night, drawing students, regulars, and travelers. Reviewers paint a picture of friendly servers who keep things moving, though pace can slip when it is slammed. One guest summed it up: great beer and a buzzing vibe, just expect a wait at peak. The cooking leans comfort-first burgers and fries with a playful sauces crate and crowd-pleasing loaded trays. It is straightforward bar food done with generosity rather than culinary fireworks, while the beer list ranges widely across French craft and Belgian classics. Ideal for groups, pre-concert bites, and anyone chasing a casual pint and a solid burger. Families fare well thanks to kid-friendly staples like plain burgers, chicken tenders, fries, and crepes. There is a veggie wrap and salad for plant-leaning diners, but vegan mains are limited; expect to lean on sides and salads if strictly vegan.
