  This is an interesting place.  As others have noted Hopper's is:
  Hard to find
  Strange building shape
  Random steps to trip over
  
  But they have recently remodeled and flipped the area where the pool tables and regular tables were, added in a shuffleboard table, a garage door out into the patio and a new stage that can face either inside or outside....it was a big improvement over the earlier configuration.
  
  The outside bar is large and can fit lots of people without feeling crowded.  They have Bean Bags and Volleyball and can be quite fun with the right group of people.  
  
  The people are always interesting...I find myself going in from outside to get a drink and end up talking to some old dude for 15 minutes....I'm really at a 3.5 on this place.  If the food improves I'd be willing to go to 4.

  I felt dirty at this place.
  
  And I still don't know how I feel about that.
  
  So when I got here, I really didn't know I was at the destination of Hoppers. It looks completely sketch coming off of I70 with a dimly lit sign and parking in the way, like way back, where you can't even see it. But it's the WVU alumni association spot and I love to support the team, so Hopper's it was.
  
  What surprised me what the size of the place.......not in a good way. It's really small with the pool area being larger than the bar/seating area) with some interesting clientele. My resolution is to be nicer so we will just keep it at that. Service kinda sucked but it looked only one guy was there working and on the night of a bowl game, it got a wee bit crazy and home boy was in the weeds. Friendly dude though who eventually brought us our beer which is always welcome!
  
  The other surprises were good though--great bar food for cheap. And I mean cheap with a capital C, burgers and fries range around the $4 or $5 mark and they have a good selection of appetizers and wing flavors. Word on the street is that you can get their breakfast burrito they don't advertise on the menu any time of the day. They have a happy hour special as well, I think it goes up to 6:30p but just my luck I got there at 6:40.
  
  All in all? This place is interesting, like, interesting I was telling my coworkers all about it the next day. I wouldn't come here just to go have a drink but will definitely be back to watch some WV football.

  This place WOW! not in a good way. It was the worst bar I been to in a LONG LONG LONG TIME and I mean LONG TIME. My buddies and I had some of there food and we had the honey hot wings, nachos, and someone had the cheese burger.  Everything was HORRIBLE. The atmosphere was even more horrible. The night we went on was karaoke night...need I say more. The food was greasy and it just sucked. This is on my BOOOO URNNNS list hah

  Surprisingly decent for a bar that was made from a converted gas station.
  
  It's in a pretty hidden location but once you figure out how to get here it's not too bad.
  
  Plenty of flat screens for the games and pool tables. There's an ATM inside and plenty of room to spread out.
  
  Saturday night is Karaoke night which was Okay. If I wasn't playing designated driver and could get trashed I might enjoy it more.
  
  Outside is another seasonal bar area with sand volleyball pit.
  
  Inside the bartender was friendly and there didn't seem to be any attitude from the staff or patrons inside.
  
  The bathrooms are over-lit - seriously it must be a thousand watt tube they use in the fluorescent fixture. Decently clean inside but run down enough to remind you that you are indeed still in a bar.
  
  The bar serves bar-type food (wings, cheese sticks, etc.) but I did not partake in any this visit.
  
  Plenty of parking.
  
  Overall, a cool place to visit, chill, and spend some time.
