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
Super chill brewpub with excellent beers and ciders and great outdoor space. People and dogs friendly, and Hercules Records just across the way. Perfect place for a point with the pup.
been coming to this place for years! i used to live in the neighborhood, and now it's a destination. their beers and guest beers are all so so good, and the staff is always so friendly.
High quality beer (always tastes clean), friendly staff, good popcorn. The only downside is the Cajun place next door closed down, so you'll have to get food somewhere further away.
Best brews in this whole area, the people that run it are super nice, a jewel in the neighborhood, great cool music, screen with volume down
Great neighborhood brewery - good vibes, good people, good beer - with live turn tables often on the weekends.
Magical
Hands down the best spot to have a beer and talk with friends, neighbors, or strangers. It's not a large space, but always manages to have enough room to be more than comfortable. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.
