Rejoice with good food, good beer and a lot of good cheer at Hop Temple, located at the rear of Armstrong Street North. Rally family and friends to venture down Ballarat’s iconic Hop laneway and revel alongside likeminded people, either inside the unpretentious, cavernous warehouse restaurant styled with concrete floors, wooden benches and tables or outside, whether the sun shines or not with warming bonfires and umbrellas gearing towards a family friendly, casual dining atmosphere. Sedate a ravenous appetite with hearty pub food designed to complement a beverage menu as long as your arm, perhaps start with house spiced buttermilk fried chicken nibbles before moving onto more satisfying mains like the Hop Burger – 180 g beef patty, topped with bacon, cheese and lettuce, paired with an ale.
