This bar is the new kid on the block. Having lived in the neighborhood for the past few years, I feel inclined to give my two cents. First of all, let's start with the positives. The bar itself is clean and cozy with a friendly staff. It also offers a large selection of quality craft beers, on par with offerings you'd find at the many craft spots around NYC. However, the prices here are easily the most expensive in the area (Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, etc.) I don't really mind paying more for a superior product, but I can't help but notice when the same beers you might find at Tørst are actually more expensive at Hops Hill. And the prices are noticeably higher than at quality nearby beer spots such as Covenhoven, Glorietta Baldy, and Fulton Grand. The prices remind me of Fools Gold in the LES, which offers similarly high prices and an unparalleled ambience IN MANHATTAN. Also, at least to me, the ambience of the bar hasn't really gelled yet and it still has a bit of a manicured, sterile feel. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad to see parts of Fulton Street get a makeover, but at what cost? read more

A great selection of craft beers on tap and bottles. Plenty of locally brewed beers which I love n support. A place to escape the hustle and enjoy a good pint when I'm not working! ...Phone and laptop friendly with outlets available, a nice touch and convenience. read more

Amazing local bar, thoughtful selection of craft beer, the best bartenders in Clinton Hill!

Love it!! Spent a Friday evening in the backyard, many good beers and ciders to choose from. My beer loving friend was thrilled at the list, which speaks well for the selection. Kitchen was not open but we got pizza delivered. Will definitely return! read more

Really small and cute place. Extremely large choice of beers and ciders. The bartender is very polite and friendly. He knows what he's talking about and makes great recommendations. I'll be back here. read more

Loved this bar. Pretty small bar with outside seating, that served a wide selection of craft beers and whiskey (or is it whisky? Whatever, I'm over this debate). Anyway, I didn't try any of the food, so my review is only on the beer. I had a sour beer and then a whiskey and my friend, who is particular about his IPAs, had a couple of those, and we both went with the bartender's choice. We were both more than satisfied. Only downside is that they kept the lights so bright, evening as the evening went on. But, if you're in the Clinton Hill area and looking for a smaller bar that's quiet enough to have a conversation where you're not shouting over the music, then definitely check this place out. read more

Great beer selection. A lot of local crafts and many new names in the list. They do crowlers for most on tap. Good stuff. Kenny was great.

Hops Hill is a small bar with a great beer and whiskey selection. It's a classy-looking establishment with tealight candles and whatnot. There was hockey on the TV, if you're into that sort of thing. On a recent Sunday night, the place was a ghost town--only two other people. I only find fault with the squeaky, uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, this bar seems top notch. read more

Awesome beer bar. Really chill spot with an excellent selection of beers such as Other Half, Hill Farmstead, etc. And they do to go Crowlers. Perfect place to hangout before/after Emily. read more

My coworkers and I went to this place not long ago! Great spot to hang out in a quiet environment, good beer, good prices.

Very special selection of beers. Novel and exciting. Relaxed atmosphere, simple and clean look. A great addition to the area; Clinton Hill is lucky to have this exceptional bar. read more

Where to begin. This is far and away the best beer bar in New York. Unlike many craft beer bars that have opened in the past few years Hops Hill is welcoming and unpretentious. Cozy clean spot that is great for beer geeks and novices alike. Bartenders are knowledgeable and I've seen them guide countless beer tourist to the perfect brew. Staff is friendly and doesn't get put off by questions or asking for a sample. I've had Black Albert, Cantillion, Prairie and Hills Farmstead on multiple occasion at or cheaper than take out places... In a bar! Always seems to be a regular generously sharing a rare (and pricey) beer. The friendly, fun staff atttacts some fun and interesting customers. Taps are rotatating and they always have a beautifully balanced draught list anchored typically by an extremely fresh local IPA and usually a rare as shit imp stout and sour. Barrier, Finback and Secret Engine all made beers for their anniversary. Shows some respect in the community. I've witnessed the owner clean the line between EVERY keg. I've worked at bars and this is unheard of. Ideal place for a brewer to debut a beer. Oh they started doing sandwhiches and they nailed that too! At the end of the day it's more than just a beer bar. I see people sipping wine and hitting up their crazy large unique liquor selection. Neighborhood bar that's open late, inexpensive and worth the trip from Manhattan. Best in New York and i'll put it up against any bar anywhwere. read more

What a spot. I'm so lucky to live so nearby. Great great great beer selection. And it's always changing! They had Zombie Dust one night! It was dope! The bartenders are super friendly. The prices are reasonable. It's cozy. Great clean bathroom. Power outlets everywhere for you to charge your phone. Right by a citibike station and the Clinton Washington C. I love it I love it I love it. It's like a sanctuary for beer lovers. read more

Really good selection, but a lot of the beers are way out of my price range. I'm sure they're rare and delicious, but it would be good to have more of a balance with mid-price beers. read more

A fantastic neighborhood spot to grab a drink with a friendly and knowledgeable staff and a warm atmosphere. Love having this place in the neighborhood. read more

I would give it a 5 if you could smoke out back, but the guys are awesome who run the place, especially boss man, and there is a ridiculous amount of selection, and they play the footie (premier league soccer). Great place to work from too if you freelance, etc. read more

Spent an hour here while waiting for a table at Emily. Extensive beer list, and knowledgeable bartender. You can also try any beer before ordering. I was introduced to Other Half brewery in Gowanus and had their citrus IPA. Patrons were welcoming, and there was even a TV so you could watch the game. read more

Stopped into this joint after dinner with a friend for a few drinks to end the night. This place has a cool local vibe. There's a good bit of seating at the bar and and surrounding tables. They offer a range of beers; there's something for everyone. The beer selection was good, but being a craft beer lover it could have been better. Overall, I liked this place and would stop in again the next time I'm in the area. read more

New obsession with sour ciders and stumbled upon this place to kill some time before going to Emily's pizza across st. It was a warm rainy night and the MILLSTONE CIDER . If you like the sour flavor .. Oooo baby. Also it's 8.5% never seen it that high for a cider. I'll def be back for a drank. And there's an outdoor patio for when the weather gets back to yum read more

Plenty of seats but not empty on a Tuesday night. Slightly more expensive for a smaller pour but a great selection and variety. Tons of ciders if that's you thing. Low key in a good way. read more

Absolutely stellar selection of work class craft beer, other half, hill farmstead, barrier, Maine beer company. The staff is insightful and friendly and there's an awesome vibe. I wish this was my neighborhood bar read more

Hops Hill has an excellent (and apparently constantly changing) selection of interesting beers. I had my choice of three different IPAs, my personal favorite, the last time I visited, and the bartender was knowledgeable about all of them, plus very friendly. The bar was fairly quiet for a weeknight at 7pm-ish, but I can see it getting very crowded on weekends. Great location right on Fulton, close to a ton of restaurants and the C train. I will definitely be back. read more

Really liked the beers they had on draft and the awesome paninis that they make behind the bar. Great place to hang out. Bartenders had good recommendations and were easy to talk to. Recommend highly. read more

Great people/service, chill atmosphere. Really solid option for unique draught options.

Hops Hill does whiskey and beer fantastically well with comparably high quality playlists. Can think of a better place for a few afternoon drinks. read more

I have been here a number of times and haven't had a bad time. While the beers can be on the more expensive side, the beers they serve are not your run-of-the-mill beers. Great list of drafts, cans and bottles. Always jamming some great beats, too. The backyard is nice in the warmer months. read more

I've been to Hop Hill a number of times. Generally good list of craft. Don't hate the place but don't love it either. They gotta work on how they pour their beer, feel shortchanged on occasion depending on who is behind the bar. read more

An amazing and underrated bar. The quality of its draft list is really understated by the unassuming entrance. I wish it were in Crown Heights, I would go all the time! It's always pretty quiet and chill when I go in. I usually go to read and have a beer. It's a little dark inside for day drinking, but they have small little back patio. Between the bottles and taps it's really got the best selection around. They are willing to take some risks and throw on some weirder beers. They also do crowlers, so sometimes I'll stop out of my way and grab something yummy to take home. read more

Consistently the best beer bar in the vicinity. Delightful bartenders, deliciously curated rotating selection, just a great place to hang out every time. read more

Have the Suarez family "look no further" to taste what an fresh and inspired American ipa can be. And enjoy friendly vibe, nice service and completely relaxed setting in this great weather ! read more

There for the first time last night. Drinks are ok. Bathroom wasn't clean. My entire group was aghast to witness a trio of sitting at the bar with a dog. The women walked in and placed the small dog ON the counter--you know, the place where we all place our hands and where drinks and napkins go. A dog who was previously walked on the slushy, dirty NYC street! The bartender must have thought this was cute, because he proceeded to provide a small dish for the dog to drink out of--ON THE BAR. We watched this dog lap water all over the counter. After that I couldn't stop noticing how the glasses are not washed, just barely rinsed, at the bar. I could barely drink out of my glass. Ugh. This bar's definition of cleanliness is the fastest way for that A rating to go down to a C. read more

This is an outstanding bar! The beer selection can't be topped and the bartenders really know their stuff. If you are looking for unique beer - look no further than Hops Hill! read more

Struise Cuvee Delphine on tap. These things just do not happen. Reasonably priced to boot. Excellent varied beer selection. Laid back vibe. Great addition to the hood. read more

Still in soft opening, but the beer selection is excellent and the owner is very friendly. Well worth a visit, and frequent rotations should keep you coming back! read more

Great selection, great laid back vibe too. It's hardly ever busy though. I hope they make it

This place has quite the beer selection. It's usually well attended without being too crowded. But we tried to go the night before last and it was packed with people! Which is good for them. They deserve it. But I'll be back when it's less crowded. read more
