“Hopland Tap is housed in a building that has been around since the 1880s. It is a cute little bar. The bartender was very nice--he loves his job and where he lives--in the little town of Hopland (he is a happy Bay Area transplant). The alcohol and the food prices are very reasonable--especially if you live in the Bay Area.I love the ambiance. There is lots to look at. There's a wild pig head high on the wall that would probably freak out my vegetarian friends, but it is a taste of the history of Mendocino County. (When I used to roam the hills decades ago, I ran into some wild pigs, and they weren't very friendly). There is a 420 speed limit sign that looks kinda Hippy Redneck--look at the picture I posted and see if you agree.Hopland Tap is a place to go with friends--there's a beer garden under some hops. There's even a lending library to borrow or bring books you no longer want. They have a machine to can the draft beer you want to take home.I feel a little embarrassed because I drank some of my drafted local cider, and my share of a half pound of garlicky shrimp for $13.50 before I remembered to take a photo to share. Darn!Remember to stop by if you are driving by on the 101.You can check out their website for current activities.“
