Used to enjoy this place, not anymore.On my last visit the bouncer(guy covered in tattoos) told me my id was fake. When I pressed him on the matter pulled out a UV light then tried to seize it telling me “he knows what a fake id looks like”.Proceeded to call police per my friends request, I personally at that point wanted nothing to do with the place. After the police showed after an awkward 20 minutes with the bouncer staring us down. The police confirmed it was a real id.We tried to come in but were rejected by a female employee because “no one wants us here” followed by the bouncer saying “we wasted everybody’s time”, very pleasant to hear that from the person who wasted our time. Very unpleasant the whole time.Used to like this place the food is ok, however after this I will make sure no one will go here ever again. What a waste of space.

The guy at the door accused me and my friends of having fake IDs. We are 23, 24, 26 and 28. He only used some kind of black light flashlight and did not attempt or have the ability to scan our IDs. When we told him they were real, his only answer was ‘okay’ and we ended up being let in to eat and drink after pushing back. If he thought our IDs were fake then why were we allowed to drink here? We asked for a manager and he told us that there was no manager, only for our server to promptly grab one when we asked. The man with the stretched ears at the door is not only a liar, but needs a non customer facing job because of his terrible attitude. Despite the food and service being good I will not return here, and I will be telling everyone I know about my experience. This was completely unacceptable and the manager seemed to not care at all when he came over. Go somewhere else if you have a REAL ID because they clearly have no idea what they look like and may accuse you of having a fake ID too.

Zero stars for this place. Shawn, the manger, refused to serve me and my friend as he said our eyes were too glossy. I’m confused to how he thought we were too drunk as he hadn’t even spoken a word to us upon our arrival. We definitely came in happy to get out of the cold but unfortunately Shawn’s chilly demeanor has ruined this place for us. I will be sure to never return.

Brunch is so incredible, I am so surprised there wasn't a wait for a seat. Breakfast sandwich was terrific. Drinks, so refreshing and hot donuts. What more can you ask for?

Sangría was great. Little annoyed he wouldn't make me a Long Island but whatever. ?Waitresses were very nice as we're the patrons. Will probably be back.
Everyone is kind to me, gets crowded on weekends, lights come on 30min before closing which is fair.

Best espresso martini I’ve ever had. Best lemonade in Boston. There’s shuffleboard and pool and arcade games and the kitchen is open until midnight. What more could you possibly want?

Hopewell always hits! The food here is incredible, nothing more needs to be said. But honestly, the truffle fries are a must. The pizza was a 10/10. The cocktails our server recommended were perfection. I’m already looking forward to going back. Wish I saved room for dessert because everything sounded good. The vibes are cozy and quaint.
