Looking to chow down on some American pub fare while swigging a cold drink? A new spot has you covered. The new arrival to Potomac West, called Hops N’ Shine, is located in the former Señor Chicken location at 3410 Mt Vernon Ave.
The food here is of the elevated pub grub variety. Think grilled cheese sandwiches that come loaded with fillings like avocado, tuna, shrooms and bacon on your choice of bread, slathered with the likes of aioli and chimichurri. There are equally fancy hot dogs — with chili, jalapeños, pesto, etc. — plus soups, salads and bar snacks.
The extensive beer menu is heavy on German styles, but also includes American craft brews, from IPAs to barley wine. Signature cocktails emphasize infused liquors and barrel-aged spirits.
The new addition has gotten off to a solid start thus far, with a 3.5-star rating out of 22 reviews on Yelp.
Jayelle L., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Feb. 22, wrote, "The food is okay. The sweet potato fries were great. The sandwiches were good but a tad greasy. Go for the amazing beer and moonshine menu. The selection is vast."
And Beth S. wrote, "Craft beer and grilled cheese is a great base, and adding moonshine and a broad range of sandwich toppings really elevate it. The service is fast, the food is pretty good, and they have a good selection of beer."
Head on over to check it out: Hops N’ Shine is open from 11 a.m.–midnight on Sunday-Thursday, and 11 a.m.–1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
