Hop Alley

Started with the Lúthien cocktail—light and refreshing, with bright citrus and delicate floral notes. Their entire cocktail menu is superb. The duck rolls were a standout and quickly became a table favorite. We also highly recommend the twice-cooked pork belly, and the “dancing” bonito added a fun, interactive touch to the fried rice. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant itself was clean with a great atmosphere. It was especially enjoyable watching the chefs at work in the open kitchen.

One of my favorite Denver restaurants and consistently in my top recs for visitors. A meal at Hop Alley is fantastic, only made better if you sit at the chefs counter. Please bring back the shrimp toast though!

An extraordinary meal where four of us basically ordered 90% of what was on the menu. It came out with a speed that was a bit overwhelming and we didn't know what to taste first. But the concept of all dishes being shared and apportioned to the number of guests at the table is already a huge plus: no agonizing over how to split orders - it's already been done. Highly recommend the Dragon Whiskers, Gai Lan, Pork Ribs, Duck Roll, Lamb noodles with neck, with sadly the expensive grilled bass being a pass: it was dry and lacked the anticipated flavor. The service was impeccable. Overall, a great night out!

Hop Alley is an incredible Asian fusion spot with bold, creative, and truly unique flavors. We’re still dreaming about the beef and celery dumplings with chili crisp, apple, and cashew — perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat and crunch. The wood-grilled half chicken with goji berry and celtuce was equally outstanding — smoky, tender, and layered with flavor in a way that felt both surprising and intentional. Beyond the food, the service is fantastic. You can genuinely tell the team wants you to walk away happy, full, and completely taken care of. They guide you through the experience in a way that feels warm and thoughtful. A memorable meal all around — can’t wait to go back.
