About the Owners:

Darren Tow, a Brookline native, and David Ng, owners of Coolidge Corner Wine & Spirits just two doors down, opened HOPS N SCOTCH, the team’s latest business venture, in the old Finale space. True to its name, the “gastrolounge” features a variety of craft beers (read: West Coast IPAs and local favorites like Backlash and Harpoon), with 10 of its 40 taps in rotation. As for the liquor menu, the choice of 80 Scotches and pages of whiskeys and bourbons will have you quoting Anchorman. In the back of the house, chef de cuisine Clinton Cox, formerly of East by Northeast, plates Southern-inspired comfort food — fried green tomatoes, Scotch eggs with bourbon-mustard dipping sauce, and an assortment of salads; grilled pimento cheese, blackened catfish po’boys, and burgers; fried chicken with grits, grilled pork chops with apple-poblano chutney, and vegetable risotto; fried pie and ice cream for dessert.  After dinner and a drink or two, hopping on one foot might be a challenge.  

Though they’ve been developing the concept for years, Tow says that he and Ng will continue to listen to feedback and tailor the restaurant to the community. “I think that’s natural for us,” says Tow. “The last thing we want to do is disappoint anybody. We customize it all.” He adds, “A lot of the beers you see on tap, it’s because someone asked for it.” True Southern hospitality.

HOPS N SCOTCH focuses on the grown-up pleasures of craft beer and whiskey. HOPS N SCOTCH is a two-story establishment decorated fittingly in shades of caramel, peat, and deep brown, as if one is spending the evening in a comfortable barrel of whiskey. Tow says the beverage program offers 40 beers on tap, 40 more in bottles, and 120 kinds of Scotch and bourbon. There are also classic and original cocktails.
