The Hoptimist

The bar serves its selection on tap, in bottles, and as small tasting testers. Bartenders guide visitors through a list that skews highly local, often featuring rare regional brews not typically found at other city beer spots. The space itself is compact, offering about ten tables inside and a handful out front, creating a relaxed neighborhood environment that welcomes both families and dogs. On the first Monday of the month, the room hosts occasional first-Monday jazz nights.
