I love Hop In Brew! What a great place to go have real conversations with your friends. The music isn't too loud but there is still that pub ambience mixed with a bit of a house party. Since it actually is in a heritage home, you instantly feel cozy and comfortable. The staff is all very friendly and you get to know them better each time you come back. I have never gone to the Hop and haven't found a place to sit. There is always ample space and you will probably run into a friend or two while you sip your cider.
They also have foosball and pool upstairs which is a lot fun if you are going with a group of people. Lots to do!
You can also order pizza in house which is so cool! I don't eat pizza but if they ever get gluten-free pizza I am there!!!
