The Hop Shop

Johnna over at The Hop Shop is so amazing! She's super friendly and witty. She is very knowledgeable about the different types of beers and wines served. She created a cool, chill vibe which caused me to end up staying for several hours and met a couple of new friends. I'll definitely return in the future. Tell Johnna I sent you!!

They'll charge you full for the foamy half pour left in the keg "managers rules"The ac never works and half the furniture is broken. There's always the same 5 people drunk at the bar staring at a tv smaller than an iphone 7.

Relaxing old world meets new Charlotte. I was born less than a mile away. Moved away and now I am back after 25 years traveling the world and serving. This place felt old and new Charlotte all at once. Reminded me of a grown up version of the Graduate from back in the 90s. The bartender Peace(sorry spelling) was perfect and made me feel so welcome as she recommended perhaps the best non alcohol brew I have ever had. I won't tell you what it was, just talk to Peace. Tell her I said hi.

Looking for a chill local hangout to enjoy lots of local beers, wines, ciders? Look no further!Came here for a pre meal drink with friends on a Friday night. It wasn't busy at all and we had our pick of seating. Cool swing seats are located next to the bar as well as plenty of couches and comfy seats. I ordered the blueberry cider from red clay and it was amazing! There is art for purchase on the walls everywhere and the bartenders were nice/helpful. Downside: parking can be difficult, but try the street parking or spots in front or the lot behind by moo and brew.

I love the hop shop! They have such a great selection of beer and wines, there's something for everyone! From stouts to sours to wheat beers and IPA's! Such a great neighborhood bar with a laid back feel and awesome music selection. Super friendly / knowledgeable bartenders. I'm a weekly regular since I discovered this gem!

The Hop Shop is close to where my girlfriend lives - dangerously close in fact - but far enough away from all the hustle and bustle of Plaza Midwood. It's conveniently located in a more residential area along a strip of shops that were strategically placed behind Moo & Brew almost certainly to draw in the nearby residents in need of an evening bottle or two.You can wander in casually and peruse the shelves of more unique beer varieties and even some wine offerings. There are also a few upright coolers with different bottles on ice. They have a great open and spread out feel here and also regularly bring local small batches on tap. The couple that owns the place is very friendly and interactive. Prices run in about the same class as most beer specialty bottle shops with the same stuff on offer. Ample seating with a couple of couches mounted to chains as indoor swings. On nice weather days they open up the back patio for some fresh air chillin'. I'm already a regular!

This is a really fun place to visit. They have a ton of cans and bottles available for purchase plus a bar with craft beer drafts and wine by the glass. The price is typical for the area--and the service is always great. I've never gone in when it was very busy, which allows for the bartenders to spend time with each customer. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and they are able to help find you whatever you're in the mood for. The best part about The Hop Shop, the indoor porch swings! But like the sign says "Don't Swing like a Dick!"

Cool, laid back vibe that feels like a cross between a coffee shop, lounge, wine bar and craft beer place, and they are totally dog friendly on the inside which was a nice bonus! Bartender was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient while giving suggestions and offered free samples for us to try as we debated what to pick. She was a great example of what customer service is all about and she exuded an enthusiasm and passion for her job which is rare in today's day and age. Definitely check it out as it has a welcoming feel and we saw a diverse clientele which is always cool to see.

I travel through Charlotte often and can't wait to visit The Hop Shop!The owner takes such pride in the beer menu...always something new and adventurous! The locals are a great bunch of people and personalities....stop by and enjoy a relaxed environment with an unbelievable Beer list!

Just attended another Wine Tasting Night at HopShop and once again, it was amazing! If you don't make the first Tuesday of the month for the wine tasting, you can always get a reasonably price bottle of wine curated by the GM, Tamara, and there's always a yummy beer on tap. As a former doggy dad, it's very pet-friendly for all the well-behaved doggies. I've lived here In Plaza Midwood for just under 4 years and it's one of my top "go to" places. Try it out, you won't be disappointed if you like a cool, chill place with great wine and beer with a friendly staff!
