Hop City Beer & Wine Birmingham

"El Gordo Good People; Hazy, Hazy, HazyHi- Wire. Excellent!"

"There’s a plethora of reasons this bar is in the running for “best in America”, but let me break it down for you as to why that is with some context and detail. A bar is a bar is a bar, by the same name in any city in America, until you walk in to Hop city. It isn’t a bar. It’s an adult theme park. First, the lively atmosphere and surroundings feel homey, but not cluttered. It gives you that nice warm welcoming vibe without the intrusion of over zealous sales associates. But if you need them, they’re always there to help and are EXTREMELY knowledgeable. And what on earth do I mean? Isn’t this just a bar? Absolutely not. It’s a wine Mecca, massive bar, and they even have food trucks come on many nights during the week. Their wine selection is quite frankly…. The best in the city. Ranging from your $10 basic wines, to my favorite the conundrum red at the perfect $21 price, all the way to your extremely rare $200 2015 Italian limited editions on the back wall. Every region is represented perfectly, and they even stock the best ice wine in the world (my humble opinion as a wine blender). Northern Canadian at under $100. That is an INCREDIBLE deal. But this is just the first half of the building. Between the bar and the wine section lies the beer shelves, and oh WOW is it a selection. Every possible kind of beer is represented. I’m partial to sours and ciders myself, but they simply don’t miss anywhere. Want to make a personalized pack of singles? You can take ANYTHING apart to make your own custom 4 pack. All the local breweries and beers are represented… and 100s nationwide. And then…. There’s the actual bar. It’s huge. And the taps literally run from one side of the building to the other. There are so many to choose from, finding only one to try will be impossible. Complete with dogs to pet, an amazing revamped patio with fire pit, AND in the pepper place district of Birmingham, this IS the best place for libations in the city. Have fun at the theme park… you’ll stay for hours."

"We swung by here before a concert at iron city .They have a nice size bar with about 60 beers on tap. There is a huge selection of all types of craft beer and wine from all over the place including international. In house draft beer is very reasonable price. They had my favorite beer on tap Kentucky bourbon vanilla. Great place."
