Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.
Really really delicious hazy IPA
Excellent music choice (Joy Division, The Cure and post-punk) open until 1AM, cozy

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, with something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and often Belgian beer styles. The friendly staff and good free popcorn enhance the casual, friendly vibe, making it a great place to go with friends, on date night, or even solo. Guests can bring in food, games, or their dogs, and the minimalist, warm decor creates a comfortable space for socializing with neighbors and new friends.
Although the nearby Cajun restaurant has closed, the taproom remains a neighborhood anchor, featuring both indoor and outdoor seating options. The great parklet outside is perfect 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 screens sports on the wall and offers 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. With a steady keg turnover, the taps are clean, and the beer is always fresh, making Hoi Polloi a real gem in the East Bay.
