    Easy to stop by when you're going to the beach or aquarium. Really laid back atmosphere, with helpful staff and friendly locals. Good beer selection with rotating taps and different beer styles. They also have non-beer options.

    Brought our own games, but there is a great selection there!

    Great beers, welcome to all ages, people and dogs alike! Stopped here twice during our Kure Beach vacation this week. Monday afternoon gave us a patio to ourselves and Friday night offered corn hole and a classic summer night. Monday afternoon's flight was crisp and refreshing all around, but my favorite was their Dreamsicle Ale so I stuck with that on Friday night and even got 32 oz to go. If you enjoy Ciders, their Cherry Limeade cider was enjoyed as well! But the real show stopper was the Minnie Mouse coloring book that entertained my 3 year old for a solid hour ;)

    What a fun spot! They have beer and a disc golf course. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We grabbed a few beers and walked around the disc golf course just to check it out. I tasted the brown, but opted to start out with a golden ale (it was just Ok). Then I saw they had some strawberry lemonade beer and a ginger beer. Those were really good and refreshing and I enjoyed those more than the traditional beers.

    A good selection of interesting and tasty craft beers. Service from Nicole was personable and prompt! I wish I had had time to play around of disc golf ! If I were to come back to town, I would make an effort to come back here, no doubt.

    Good Hops Brewing has become a new staple for our annual trip to Pleasure Island (Carolina & Kure Beaches). We love the drinks, atmosphere, servers, merchandise, and disc golf course! What more could you need?! I always get a flight of beers to try a variety. All flights come with a bag of complimentary pretzels. Their summer taps are always so refreshing, especially after doing the disc golf course! This year I tried the disc golf course for the first time. It was also my first time disc golfing in general. We golfed with an experienced player and he said it was a pretty technical course because of the trees - which also offer lots of shade! We all had a ton of fun and will be back to play and drink again!

    Great brewery to have a good beer. Taps change per season so there's always new styles to try. It's a relaxed atmosphere and there is a nice large patio. They also have a great disc golf course and loaner discs! It was cool they had cup holders at each hole. I've always enjoyed stopping here!

    I really love this place. Since the last time I was here they have made it even more beautiful. They added some cool features to the disc golf course and the inside glass wall looks really cool. Such a great local establishment!

    Disc Golf and local Cider!

    My favorite thing about Good Hops is that I can pair outside Disc Golf with local brews. This is definitely a place that I bring my family and friends (furry ones too).

    Good Hops is great if you want a casual drink. Their outdoor patio is huge and they do a great job enforcing Covid policies.

    I'm swinging though from out of state, does this brewery fill outside growlers? I've got a ton and don't need a branded one for a brewery that's about 8 hours from my house. Thanks in advance for an answer!

    The brewery is more than happy to fill growlers from all locations. It's a small family owned location where everyone puts their heart and soul into the day to day operations & the brews they make. While every beer might not be to everyone's…

    I stopped in twice yesterday. The first visit was fine -- nothing memorable, but fine. Geneva was…read morebartending both times. The second visit, however, came with a greeting I've never heard in my fifty‑plus years: "You've been out all day. I can't serve you because I'll be liable if you're over served." I've bartended before. I understand the responsibility. But I was never asked a single question about what I'd actually been doing. For clarity: we had lunch at Michael's Seafood before our first visit. I had one non‑alcoholic seltzer at Island Beverage, and my partner had a four‑flight sampler. After that, we went thrifting and shopping at Goodwill, Lowe's Foods, and Dollar Tree. No drinking. No bar‑hopping. Nothing even close. On our second visit, Geneva gave us water and let us charge a phone -- and I do appreciate that. But being told "you've been out all day" instead of "welcome back" was unnecessary, inaccurate, and frankly insulting. It was an assumption presented as fact, and it was embarrassing. What made it even more absurd was watching Geneva continue to serve patrons who were clearly intoxicated while I sat there with a glass of water. So here's the takeaway: Don't go in twice in one day. Apparently that alone is enough to get treated like you've been drinking all over town. After this experience, I won't be going in on any day. I hope the staff can handle situations like this with actual communication instead of jumping straight to conclusions.

    We pleasantly stumbled across this place, looking for some local brews, while visiting for the…read moreweek. They had a more than ample selection of local brews on tap, and all that we sampled were delish. They had a huge selection of wine and even served wine by the glass. There were a ton of games to play while you sip, which will be on our agenda next time. The bartender couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming to 2 non-locals! Next time we are bringing the rest of the crew!

    Food - Fantastic! Never had a bad dish Service - so nice…read moreevery time Ambiance - Great Entertainment!! Love this place!!

    "Delightful seafood, entertainment, and more in Carolina Beach"…read more Stopped by here on a holiday Saturday night at just after 6pm, party of 2. Amazingly, we were able to get a table right away. The place is mostly "open air" with two covered areas and a few spots in the sun. A few folks had dogs there, too. They also have little spinny things on the table to keep flies away (apparently called "fly fans"). Note, enter on the beach-side, not the other side, to meet the host. There's also a stage inside for entertainment (which started later than we were there, but the band was setting up). We ordered the ahi tuna nachos, and I got a crabcake sandwich. My partner got black pearl salad. Food came out in under 20 minutes, which was impressive given the place was HOPPING. The ahi tuna nachos were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. They had bits of mango, a delicious sauce, really good nachos (made from wonton wrappers), and the tuna was amazing (served rare). It was about $20, but a very large helping. This would make a great meal for one person eating that alone. The crabcake was fine-- nothing unusual but tasty. I may not order that again, but it was good. My dining partner said the black pearl salad was really good and liked the blackberries, feta, and walnuts in it as well as the vinaigrette. Our drinks got refilled, and plates were taken away quickly when we finished any part of the meal. Our server was really nice, too. Overall, I would happily go back, and DEFINITELY want that ahi tuna nachos dish again. I recommend-- very good.

Our service was quick and efficient! We snuck in right before the rush around 5:45 PM our server Kyra was wonderful! Her timing was excellent and her suggestions were spot on! She was friendly, efficient, and just added to the great experience that all four of us had! My husband and I shared the mahi special and something called Crete Beets ( spelled on the menu beats); both were absolutely delicious! The mahi was prepared perfectly and had a nice light creole sauce which they put on the side for dipping and the crab mac & cheese was delightful with asparagus that was cooked on point; not overdone and not underdone which I know in restaurants is sometimes difficult to do. The crete "beats" was more or less a charcuterie board of roasted purple and gold beats with the most delicious whipped dip and perfectly seasoned and baked pita some of the best I've ever had with olives and cucumbers, and pickled red onions! I can't really describe the dip and apparently it's top-secret because I asked for the recipe! Our friends ordered the beet salad with extra beets; shrimp Tapatio and a bowl of the soup of the day. All were delicous and there was not a crumb or a drop left on their plates while my husband and I were still eating ours! The soup of the day was a potato jalapeño cheddar and it did not disappoint! this seriously is one of the few consistent restaurants on the island! I'm still dreaming about my food this morning!
