The establishment places the responsibility on the customer to seat themselves and during our visit it was crazy busy. A group of 4 people had offered our group their table as they were about to depart, which resulted in terse exchange with another group that believed they had arrived earlier and were deserving of the table.Then we had the opportunity to wait in line to order drinks/pizza only to be told the waiting time for a pizza was an hour to an hour fifteen. Not a bid deal until you realize you 're sitting on steel stools, so by about the 30-45 minute mark, glutes/back are screaming at you . On the upside, the beer and pizza were good, but definitely not worth the hassle factors associated with the Hop Yard Ale Works dining experience.

Bathroom and overall area spotless. Bartender and waitstaff were prompt and kind. Only feedback to offer would be to utilize silverware versus plastic ware.
