The space is rather small but there is a nice collection of beers and cider in cans and on tap.

Great tiny beer spot. Staff knows their stuff. Plenty of cans to choose from or drafts to pony up at the bar and hang out. Or take the cans to go.

Just walked 10 blocks in the hot noon sun, using up my lunch break, just to find out its closed Mondays & Tuesdays. If youre going to change your hours, update Google maps

Great store with interesting bottled and canned beers both refrigerated and non. Also has a U-shaped bar to enjoy draft beers and cider with about a dozen on tap. Knowledgeable salespeople. Worth a pop-in for beer snobs.

An easygoing, laid back, craft beer bar that doubles as a retail craft beer store. Staff are very friendly. Also: super dog friendly, and allow people to bring in food or order delivery. My go-to bar for self outings or with friends who appreciate good beer.Only fits about 20-30 total people comfortably, so not for large gatherings!

If you like craft beer cans to go, this is your best bet in the neighborhood. The selection varies, depending on the day and time you arrive, and prices can be high, but the same is generally true of craft beer. There are also a number of beers on tap, should you desire to sit down and enjoy a pint or four. Ive only been here during the day during the week, but its never been particularly crowded with drinkers.

Fantastic selection of bees to take home. Awesome sit down bar. Great rare bottles along side unusual imports and domestic craft beer. I really recommend it for a Belgian beer enthusiast.

Fantastically impressive selection of bottles and cans. Really great collection of beers on tap. Very friendly, helpful bartenders. And for dog owners, theyre dog friendly! 🐕 cant think of a better beer destination in the Upper East Side. If youre interested he neighborhood, this is definitely worth stopping by for a round or more.

Small place with a great beer selection on the go. They are a little limited with their selection on tap. Most of the beers were from other places. The only reason this place doesnt have 5 stars is because of their lack of local beers on tap. The beers they did have were fantastic. Glenn and the other bartender knew what they were doing and had great chemistry with clients. I will be back here.

FIRST THINGS FIRST- I’m from Connecticut, so places like this are very rare where I live. That being said, I wish this place would franchise in my neighborhood.We kind of randomly found this place after we trammed into the city from Long Island City. We actually went to the bar across the street first, and were glared at by everyone in there, making us well aware that we were NOT from around here. Needless to say, we left and ended up at City Hops. I’m so glad we did! I don’t like beer at all- it’s not my thing. My husband loves IPA’s and it was his birthday so I took one for the team and was hopeful they’d have a random bottle of wine or something. To my surprise, they had ciders! Which I absolutely love. The one I had was Berries and Cream something or other and it was a bit sour but very good. And very strong. The guy we talked to (who seemed like he was the owner) said they were working on their wine list again, so that’s a cool thing to know. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and made us a 4-pack to go. A really great experience. And even though it was clear we were not “regulars”, the staff and guests alike make us feel very welcomed. Super chill vibe, really well done. Please come to Connecticut!!!!

Fantastic place to either enjoy an excellent beer from their amazing draft selection, or buy some off-premise stuff to enjoy at home. It is not a huge place and they dont have dozens of taps. But, their selection is well-curated and the staff is knowledgeable. We went for one beer and ended up staying for hours enjoying the atmosphere and conversation. It is also on the quiet side so if you are looking to escape the sometimes deafening noise of other beer bars in the area, this is a welcome retreat.

Cool vibes and a great selection. The perfect place to stop by after a long day at work! Easy to pick up what you want and pay quickly.

Review №21

Pretty solid selection. But middling prices, average service, and lack of atmosphere make it just an adequate place to pick up a craft beer.

Made a quick stop here while visiting from the finger lakes region, as i was in pursuit of a sour beer that is not distributed in my area. They have a small, well-curated selection of beers and I liked that they had a dozen or so on tap.The guy working there was very knowledgeable, and I enjoyed tasting a flight of interesting beers. Its about 280 miles out of the way for me, or Id stop in more often.

This place is amazing - great selection of bottles and like 20 taps that rotate frequently throughout a great range of microbrewerys. Prices are amazing, especially if you are taking home a growler. Cant recommend them enough!

Awesome small bar with great beers on taps that change quite often. The go to place to get the latest and greatest beer that is in short supply. The staff and the owner are well informed and are always there to help you enjoy a quality beer.Ive been going here weekly for 3 months now and have never had an unhappy experience!

Review №33

We just stopped at this place a couple of month ago to take out some beer. They offered to taste 4 small samplers for $10, which sounded reasonable. Most of the choices were not that good, but one was okay. Then we asked how much is one 36 oz bottle and the barman told that it is $12 each. So we ordered two bottles and asked for the final bill. We expected that to be $10+2*$12=$34 plus some tax. Simple math, right? No, the bill was $104 (3x times more!). For the two bottles of beer? Seriously? The guy just lied us about $12/bottle. It was a price for an empty glass! And that mediocre beer is sold for the price of aged whiskey. It is not a right way to do the business to lie to your customers and steal their money. I feel like I got robbed! Avoid this place! There are much better honest places nearby.

Review №37

On this past fine sunny saturday afternoon my friend took me to this place and we had an experience that was borderline twilight zone. Beer and beverage options were great, not overwhelming, and overall atmosphere was mediocre at best. It was overly warm inside the space, but the painstaking lack of service toward us was unlike anything Ive yet to experience in NYC. Immediately noticing that we were not attended to like the OTHER TWO customers at the venue, we whispered amongst ourselves why this injustice was unfolding. Its not like we were consuming $1 Natty ice.. Needless to say, a dog got probably 10x more attention than we did, and i, in the future, would not even come stumbling in blackout drunk to use the toilet

Review №42

I just walked into this bar to kill some time, there were 2 open bar stools with empty drinks in front of them so I politely asked the bartender if anyone was sitting there, she was flirting with guys next to me and acted like I i was interrupting her, she told me they were sitting there and I should ask them, any decent bartender would’ve asked me what I wanted to drink and asked the guys if I could sit there. Will never go back. It wasn’t even packed to justify. If a bartender doesn’t make me feel welcome i will never stay or respect an establishment.

My gf and I went here, it was really small but the owner was really knowledgeable. He gave us free samples of beer and then order a regular size drink.I felt very claustrophobic but he made the best use of the space.

Review №52

The beer selection here is phenomenal and the prices arent too bad for craft beer in Manhattan. But be warned, the crowd in here is pretty rough. Its full of people having overly earnest, pseudo-intellectual conversations just a touch too loudly, speaking for the benefit of those around them. Dudes with man-buns discussing their Bitcoin holdings, how the #metoo movement is great but could be more effective, what Trumps ascension truly says about America, that sort of thing. Ive popped in for five minutes at least a dozen times and every single time I have never been more excited to leave a place.Its essentially the Rick & Morty of beer stores - its great in-and-of itself but its fans make you want to vomit.
