Hop & Hound

The Hop and Hound was an intimate and inviting beer bar with solid service and more options for seating than I expected for such a small space. The options on tab weren't as large as other beer bars in Seattle, but they had a decent selection nonetheless. Had a great time.

This is a very laid-back, chill beer garden — a no-frills kind of place. It was a nice spot to grab a cold drink on a sunny day while strolling through downtown with our pups. Everyone here was very friendly toward us and our dogs, and we met some fellow dog lovers as well.

It Felt like “Cheers” when I walked in because immediate bonding and interaction with the other customers, and of course the service was friendly. The server asked what I wanted, and she gave me limitless samples of just about about all of their IPAs and spiked ciders, limeades. Music is ‘80s(best decade) so of course its cool 😎

Small space, upstairs seating for 6-8, outdoor tented seating for maybe 50. I was a little underwhelmed at first, they have maybe 8 taps, but the reason this should be a destination for any craft beer lover is the gold in their refrigerators full of cans. They like 4 fridges but a pretty good variety and some amazing beers in them.

The beer selection here is great—lots of variety, including some interesting local and imported options. If you’re into trying new brews, you’ll definitely find something worth sampling. That said, the prices are on the higher side, so it might not be the best spot if you’re looking for a budget-friendly pint.
