This used to be our go-to spot, especially for trivia, but after they took up over half the place for a golf simulator, we don't go anymore and opt for other bars in MH. There's very limited seating inside and when you're doing trivia you have to sit outside and try and listen to the questions. I see a few reviews feel the same way about this "addition". Sucks because I don't see them removing it. At least the beers on tap were always really good. read more

Overall nice indoor and outdoor seating. Wide variety of different beers. The area is a little crowded with multiple businesses sharing space. So was a good spot to stop at. There is a restaurant next door you can order food from. Would go back read more

Beers are inexpensive and delicious. I love sours and theirs are consistently good. The pinball machines are fun; bathrooms are clean; sinks are outside the bathrooms so you can wash your hands if you want; bartenders and people at the bar are nice; Running Shop and Hops overall has a local Morgan Hill feel. It's a vibe! read more

Great spot. There's always a great west-coast IPA parked at tap #38. Food trucks out front, nice atmosphere, great beer selection. read more

The Running Shop and Hops - #21 - Beer Bar Near Me - Morgan Hill, California

Went to go buy shoes but was pleasantly surprised to find that they just sell beer now. I'm a decent runner these days so I know the value of a good pair of shoes, but it's actually pretty easy to just order shoes online. It's way harder to order great beer online, but it's just as important for electrolyte recovery and mental health. Great service, fun ambiance, and a good pizza spot next door as well. They also just added some golf simulators in their side room, they are awesome. I've used it a few times for personal golf training, and it'll work just as well for distracting my kids next time I need some help. read more

Huge selection of great beer. Amazing, helpful and attendant staff. Golf stalls use up lots of seating though.

The hard kombucha is wonderful. I tried the island vibes one. A fun cute friendly place! read more

Great brewery with a good selection of hazy beers & lots of others. They have a food truck outside with good food. They put the food truck schedule on their instagram so check it out. Laid back place with in door & outdoor seating with umbrellas for shade. Service is friendly and quick. read more

Honestly I have been coming here since the beginning and have always loved this place. But lately I come in the evening to relax only to be met with music like I'm at EDC. Zero relaxation possible. The vibe is always chill and this high energy loud music ruins it. read more

Lots of draft beer selections from Bay Area breweries. Family and pet friendly--a great place to hang out! Plus, they have some arcade machines on site, which is a big bonus. read more

We used to come here alllllll the time but the new golf simulators ruined the space. It used to be way bigger and had many more benches, Now we go to the bar down the street instead cuz there just isn't enough breathing room. It's so packed in now, such a bummer read more

Definitely a great selection of beers! It was our first time and it was a total gem. The service was great and very inviting. The Bibo's pizza next door really hit the spot because the pizza came out fresh and hot. Had a good selection of old school arcade games. The bathrooms were kept clean and shared space to wash hands. The price for the beers were very reasonable. We came out here to Morgan hill for cherry picking but they were all closed so we ended up out here. Definitely worth the trip and will recommend to family and friends! read more

I came here to see if I can buy stuff to go run but instead I ended up getting drunk..I give it 5 stars only cause the people are great not because I got drunk....ugghh... read more

Very popular place to get a drink with friends. Wide selection of beer at a trendy spot.

STOUTstanding!!! Their selection of beer for purchase is great and a good amount of variety, I was looking for a good stout and they will overwhelm you in a positive way with the abundance of options. I didn't try any beer on tap but I would definitely come back here again and again, knowledgeable staff. And the atmosphere looked fun. read more

Great local spot! Daily food truck outside and awesome pizza joint next door. Lots of options on tap and bottles/cans. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs welcome. Friendly service! read more

We've been coming here since the running shop opened pretty religiously. This new golf set up is really a bummer. Significantly less seating and it's ruined our favorite area we've been sitting in for years. Everyone I've talked seems to agree but I'm assuming it's here to stay at this point. This really doesn't seem like a big enough venue for golf simulators and it's taken up so much seating for a place that was already limited. We still come once in a while and enjoy the beer and staff but since the new arrangement we come significantly less. Very sad because running shop was such a staple in our lives before and now we're looking for alternatives. read more

This place is local favorite. Both indoor and outdoor seating, lots of cool/funny decoration. Definitely gives the small town energy. (You will see lots of dogs and children) Tuesday they have trivia nights that starts at 7, they normally always have a food truck out in front that changes weekly. They no longer sell ciders here which is normally what I order so that was a bummer. They said cider is a being considered a wine now and they don't have a permit to sell wine so they removed all ciders from the menu. The menu does change daily I believe but they do bring some repeats back. Staff is very informed every time I ask any questions about recommendations. read more

Not happy about the new golf set up at all. They got rid of half of the space, and half of the arcade games. They also got rid of any possibility for trivia, puzzle nights, or reserving the space, which would bring in more revenue. My fiance and I used to love this place, and wanted to have our wedding reception here. Now we can't because there is no more room. They're catering to one kind of client... golfers I guess read more

Good but the reason it's not 5 stars is because there is way too many kids running around. Also there were kids standing on the tables and a lady was changing her baby on the table. read more

Greatest beer joint in all of Morgan Hill! Not only have the best selection of beers, but it's a great vibe and a great pizza place right next-door coffee shop on the other side other place quite like this to hang out on any day of the week. Definitely a must try place if you love beer and a great place to hang out.! read more

Swing by for a quick beverage at the running shop hops. As per usual great giant tap list and great selection of cans. They also have lots of hop water if they're interested in that. I will always be here for a drink if I'm around in the area and recommend others as well. Great ambience with outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Great place for a good beer. The people are really friendly and the vibe is really good. They have a wide selection of beer, which is always a great thing and then there's plenty of food joints where you can just go buy something and then bring it back to enjoy with your nice beer; definitely recommendthis place read more

Just a fair warning to other customers, don't always expect full service until closing time. We showed up 20 minutes prior to closing and were told beers in cans were our only option. No draft, no glassware for canned beers. Just beer directly out of a can. Guess I'll try my luck 30 minutes prior to closing. read more

Great place to finish a cycle ride! There's a bike shop across the patio. Many beers and ciders on tap. They will make recommendations and offer tastes. Very open, lots of fresh air seating and standing. There is both a coffee shop and a pizza shop at opposite ends! A few TVs to watch sports. A food truck on the curb, usually Mexican fare. Even young families with children in tow hang out in the open shared patio. read more

I went here last night to catch game 3 of the Warriors basketball finals, and I'm really glad that we chose the spot. Initially I was a little bit reluctant because there wasn't a whole lot of televisions to watch the game. I was trying to find a table to sit at to meet with my friend. But I figured when the place started to get busy it would be hard to see the TV from the table that I have chosen. So I decided just to go at the end of the bar. Perfect choice. I was right in front of the television and got a great view of the game, although the audio was a bit low and we could have used a little bit more of that so we can immerse ourselves a little bit more into the game. But as far as beers. There were so many to choose from. And they had several different taps of several different beers from several different local areas. I had the Saint Adarius Rustic Ale, #44. It was exactly what I was looking for, a tasty hazy IPA. There's no food here. However, there is a pizza spot right next door that had excellent pizzas (I wish I knew the name of the place because I would give them a review as well, I'll have to look that up and do that later). The nice thing about this pizza place is they delivered your pizza right into the bar. Too cool. But I did have to leave my spot and have it saved by my friend to go order our food at the pizza place. Not too inconvenient. It was really just next door. I will definitely come back to this place over and over again. If you are a beer lover, this is the place for you to go in. Morgan Hill. I don't think I've seen a place in Morgan Hill with more taps than this spot. read more

I went to go buy shoes but left with a panic attack. I didn't see any shoe store at all, just people drinking in the afternoon. I don't blame them for my issues, but i would have liked to find a shoe store there. It's was just a bar. Years ago i went into their od shoe store and the owner made fun of my shoes. I see no reason to return. read more

Visited this past Sunday, and some differences from my pre-covid visits are the setup looks just a bit disorganized, ie. some outdoor seats closed off, the indoor game room occupied by tables and seating rather than games in use (though the foosball table was in use). And they had a line of people going out the door, as they only took orders from the middle of the bar (guy said they only had 2 computers in use). It's cool, the line went fast. The customer service was great. We opted to sit at the bar inside instead of using their outdoor patio. Around 4pm, it felt somewhat crowded, but the crowds were gone after 6pm. So was the food truck. There's a different food truck out front on different days. On this day, Scratch Cookery food truck closed up early cuz they ran out of food around 5pm (though they were scheduled to be there till 7pm). Thankfully, Running Shop and Hops has its own food menu, serving one of my favorite foods (empanadas), along with a few other options like burgers and pizza. The empanadas were pretty good. There was nothing special about the dough/crust, but the fillings were delicious, with great seasoning, and came with a side of chimichurri sauce (not out of this world like other places, but decent). We tried several flights of beer (they do sets of 3 or 6), and our faves were Ghost Town Incidental Mortality, and Humble Sea Surge Juice. I also like Hello Friend Beer Like an Echo in the Forest. But we liked most of the beers we tried (they were all IPA's). They have the largest beer selection I've seen anywhere. Combined with good food, friendly service, and a clean environment with a lot or character and cool decor, as well as two TVs playing sports at the bar, this is a great spot. By the way, they have a small free parking lot across the street as well as plenty of street parking out front and nearby. read more

Everytime we make a trip to Morgan Hill we always make a stop here to pick up drinks. They have a great selection of drinks and there's also something new to try. I also love that they are right next to a pizza shop and allow outdoor food. Plus the fun part is that they have different food truck parked out front almost every day! I love trying new food and treats from the trucks. You can check out their food truck schedule posted on Instagram (@therunningshopandhops). This place is huge with lots of seating all around (inside and outside). Really great vibe here and they have TVs, so you can come here and catch whatever game is on! Plus they have trivia night here on Tuesday. Definitely check out this spot if you're visiting Morgan Hill. read more

Great tap list, so many different options! Had the choice of flights of 3 or 6, a pint, or cans. Got a flight of 3, went to get a pint of my favorite one that I tried but they had already changed out the tap. They let me try the new one and I ended up getting a pint of that. Really good service and overall experience. Loved that they had a food truck, which was actually the reason I went down there. I would go back for the veer and a different truck again. Outdoor patio area was awesome, loved the barrels as tables and the hops outside. Cool aesthetic. Only issue was that it felt very crowded. Seemed to be a popular spot which is great for them and usually creates a really fun vibe, just not exactly what you want to see during Covid. It was the first weekend of outdoor dining being open again though, so that could've had some affect on the number of people there. read more

I spend hours in traffic, working 10-14 hour days, and when I make it home, my first go-to is Running Shop and Hops. Ryan does an amazing job hiring amazing people that make me feel at home every time I go there. I never have to ask for a beer, and they always know the kind of beer I like. 100% one of the greatest staff I've ever experienced, great group of people. read more

A big variety beer menu. There's something for everyone. Beertenders are also nice to let us sample beers. We came here Saturday 3/18/23 after visiting 2 wineries. Has both indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly. Indoor seating is also pretty open aired. There's a foos-ball table. You can probably bring outside food to enjoy with your beer. We ordered a flatland password fatigue new england ipa, kings snozzberries frose fruited gose, Barebottle the mad chai-entist nitro. read more

Been a bad day stop for several years. Always good beer and service. Easy free parking across the street

My husband and I were here on a Thursday and we love the ambiance and service at Running Shop. We ordered a couple of beers and were trying to enjoy them and have a conversation with each other, but were unfortunately interrupted by young children being pretty unruly. They were throwing ski balls, running around, and screaming. Being a parent myself, I can appreciate that kids want to play and it can be extremely difficult to have to focus on them the whole time you're out. I am a total advocate for kids and parents, however, this is an establishment that is categorized as a bar. Kids probably shouldn't be allowed here. Other than that, the beers are always great and the place is a great time if you go at the right time . read more

Super cool spot! Friendly atmosphere and lots of locals. Bartenders are friendly and busy. I tried the "pie" cider and it was absolutely wonderful. I can see why it is their #1 cider. Taps are on rotation weekly and they have over 100 different options to choose from! Definitely recommend if you're in the area - and worth the drive up from the South Bay! read more
