    I really had high hopes for this place after reading the Yelp reviews. Great list of beer. That was not the problem. Where it fell short was on everything else. The bartender was unenthusiastic at best. When I asked if they served flights, which seemed to be referenced in numerous photos and menu boards in the photos posted here, the answer was, "No, we don't have that now." Okay, not now. Is there a time for that? "No, only when the ABV might be..." What? You are not even giving me a real answer. Okay, maybe I am being misunderstood, what is the smallest pour? "A pint." Okay, I guess I will pick something out then. Yes, he did offer a taste before buying, but that's not what I was looking for. Also, here on Yelp I see a photo of a pizza. Food listed on the menu. Even small bites are listed in the reviews. Yeah, we don't do food. Yes, it wasn't busy. It was easy to get in and grab a pint in peace. However, if you are looking for a little more than that it seems like you might be disappointed. The thing is, the answers I got to my questions were so loose I don't know if the experience would be different on a different day, a different time, or if there was a full moon out.

    So love the new owner at Hops Crafts - we had a few general customer service issues in past - but now new team is customer focused!! So 7pm customer service vibe is great and now wine - the entire family is happy!!! So many good drafts in the gulch - a local bar in the neighborhood!! Wed night and outdoor entertainment - the guitarist was great - Mr James Hatem - great talent and sound. Nice chat with him as we drank outside. So new owners ... maybe put a clap board on sidewalk saying you have live entertainment or move them to corner so you can see when you walk up (vs around the corner). And add heat lamps !!! The entertainment was really good but pay attention to details so everyone coming in hears the talent - maybe speakers inside? Love Hop and Crafts -

    a pint of beer

    Cute, small spot with a few tables & lots of drink options. Came with a friend group and played some games while having a few drinks. Can't hold a bunch of people, but good for a more intimate outing. Tasty, rotating beer/cider options. A few choices for snacks, but nothing to rave about.

    Low key, cute hole on the wall . Street parking as far as I am aware of, I do not live in this state and I was not driving so I cannot be very useful for that info at the moment and I apologize.. Bartender attentive, friendly and amazingly knowledgeable of the brew served there. I do not drink beer, but I advise him, he got me and what I was all about, he pointed me the right way for sure. not like other breweries where they serve you another kind of fruity beer, this guy hit the spot with his suggestion. The below was the "beer" I fell in love with. Stiedl radler- like a shandy and super sweet just like I love, I am all about the sweet so this was the best choice ever, fruity, sweet and I could not top drinking it. This place is small and the beer is cheap, the staff is awesome, this is definitely a place to visit when here in the neighborhood.

    Brandon's insights & service was amazing and the craft beer offering was great! Highly recommend

    A very cozy and cool little bar tucked into the Gulch! A friend and I popped for awhile in on a night out. We wanted to try some new places and have a chill night, Hops & Crafts kicked it off just right. We both ordered a stout off the menu, excellent quality and pour. We also ordered the pretzel and beer cheese to get something on our tummies. I wish I would have snapped a picture, but I was too busy devouring, excellent choice! It seems the bar offers board games and other chill activities to pass the time with friends. There is a outdoor seating area for warmer nights. Great customer service and...Covid rules were being politely enforced! Definitely a place worth checking out.

    Hops & Crafts is a cute little beer bar located in the Gulch near a bunch of other poppin' spots. When we went in on a Sunday, they were playing a NFL game so my friend was happy. Personally I could take it or leave it but if you're looking for a place with TVs, this is it. They have a good variety of beer types on tap plus a good number of local drinks which was my main aim coming here. They were out of a couple of beers listed which was slightly disappointing but everything I decided on in my flight of 6 was decent to delicious. I think the flight of 6 ran us $13. They do a "Hoppy Hour" har har har M-F from 3-6pm where pints are $1 off. They also do specials on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Friendly bartender and very chill craft beer room full of games with a couple of outdoor tables. Really liked this small taproom.

    For all you hop heads that like great draft selections, knowledgeable staff, and a non corporate feel, look no further. This was my first stop (of many) in Nashville and I'm very pleased it went that way. I was able to try great local beers and get the inside scoop on places to go/things to try. Hops has daily specials ranging from discounted select drafts to 1/2 off flights, among others. They have a constant rotation of beer, one keg kicks another takes its place. This is a great place to scope out when you want a calmer atmosphere, great service and a quality beer selection so drop by and give em a try. Pro Tip: Look for the bucket of free beer swag.

    Stumbled upon this chill, amazing, craft beer heaven. After lunch we were waking around looking for places to grab a drink. It was a perfect, toasty 80 degrees out so I wanted a place where I could sit outside. This place had exactly what I was looking for, great beers and out door seating. You go inside and order your drink from the bar. There was a few seats inside and a couple outside. I ordered a deliciously refreshing local wheat beer. This place is very chill, there are tvs inside, there are board games on a shelf, they are pet friendly and the price for a beer was decent. Cute place. I was glad to have been able to stop in.

The staff was friendly and patient while we decided what to get. We ordered the brisket, brisket burger, sweet plantains, Brussels sprouts, and coleslaw. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The brisket was especially tender and delicious, easily the highlight of my meal. We also tried a couple of drinks, including a grapefruit-flavored lager, which was refreshing and paired well with the food. The only downside was parking, which can be a bit tricky to find. Overall, the service was quick, the food was excellent, and we'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

They have some outdoor tables and the outdoor area is dog friendly. They have about 10 House Beers on tap, Ciders, Seltzers, House Sodas and 6 packs of Beer to go. They serve Brisket, Memphis style dry rubbed Spare Ribs, Pulled Pork, Wings, Sandwiches and Sides. They also have a plant based Frito Pie and a Vegan Mac & Cheese. There are about 6 parking spots in front and there is also a Pay to park lot across the street. You order at the bar and they page you when your food is ready to pick up at the Truck. To finish the review-- They do Brisket on Saturday and Sunday ONLY. They also have a Brisket burger Wednesday through Friday. They do different events like Music Trivia and Karaoke. Look at their social media for event times and day. If you like Brisket you gotta check this place out !!

I've been drinking…read moretheir inventive, boundary-pushing beers for years and they consistently produce some of the best sours anywhere. Now that Southern Grist has been acquired by XUL Beer Company in Knoxville another Amazing brewery I've visited several times and watched grow. This feels like two epic forces coming together. Think of it like two legendary bands collaborating on a "Greatest Hits Mixtape." I can't wait to see what comes next from this powerhouse combo! Today I went with a couple of flights and here's how it shook out: Engywook - Wild stuff. The cinnamon and nutmeg absolutely jump out at you. A small taster was perfect for me it's definitely a conversation starter. PG&J Mixtape: Grape - This is my jam (literally). So good. Sweet, nostalgic, perfectly balanced. In my opinion, one of the best in the country. Freezes & Hoverboards - Solid beer, well made, just not my personal favorite of the lineup. Peach Black Currant Strawberry Hill - Very good. Big, layered fruit flavor with great depth. Strawberry Delight Hill - Sooooo good! This is a must-have. Bright, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. Peanut Butter Copra - A stout with peanuts and a hint of toasted coconut. Let this one warm up a bit and the flavors really open up. Rich and smooth. Batch One Theory: 10th Anniversary Stout - Very good anniversary brew. I caught a subtle barleywine note blending into the stout character -- complex and interesting. Overall, this is a great place to sample some seriously creative beers. Plenty of space to sit inside or out, relax, and work your way through a flight. If you're a fan of bold flavors and breweries that aren't afraid to experiment, this is your spot.

Need less to say we continued inside. I'm no sure if this is handicap assessible as we walkeeld up a lil incline to steps. When entering we were looked at in a way that was not warming. However, a voice came from the bar area with directions. We chose to to the flight. The choices were selected with a little help from the bar. They came out pretty quickly. The tasting started and it out of 5, only one did not have a nasty and strong hoppy/bitter after taste. The select were Passion fruit, Hippies and Cowboy, Southern Wit, Urban Hiker, and Wildwood. As we spent our time no one seem to as if we needed anything or if our selection were ok. We got some "why are you in here type" looks. I was not impressed by this brewery. The customer service and my sensing of being not welcome was high. Note we were the only patrons. I would not return.
