Hoi Polloi Brewing Taproom and Beat Lounge offers a relaxed and inviting atmosphere for beer enthusiasts. The establishment boasts a wide selection of high-quality, clean-tasting craft beers and hard ciders, complemented by friendly staff and good free popcorn. The minimalist, warm decor creates a comfortable space for socializing with friends, neighbors, or even strangers. Although the nearby Cajun restaurant has closed, the taproom remains a neighborhood anchor, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. It features a great parklet outside, making it a perfect spot for people and dogs alike. Audiophiles, beer drinkers, and chill folks can enjoy the funky yet modern ambiance and the weekly DJ spinning hip-hop tracks on Friday nights. The taproom also screens sports on the wall and offers some fun brews with names like "Polar Bear's Toenails Cold IPA" and "Ashbyplatz Bavarian-style Hefeweizen." Guests can ask for tastes before selecting their favorite flavor, and the brewery also provides cans to-go.
