Fantastic local tap house and bottle shop. They pull a lot of out of the area stuff as well as the local heavy hitters. Staff is amazing and the vibe super chill

Charming and festive bar with one of the best beer selections Ive ever seen. Friendly staff and Melissa the owner can guide you through all the beer and cider varieties to find that perfect brew. The best part is you can shop all the beers and take them home. Love this place! 😍

The staff are awesome and I felt very accepted and safe as a trans woman. Not something I can say about most craft beer bars. As a nyc transplant this is my new favorite spot. ❤️

Wonderful selection of beers in the back room. The corner-side room had people drinking and watching TV.

The Good Hop has way more than just good hops. Good people and good doggos are very much in surplus here. Their best offerings, business wise, is their wall of fridges filled with beers you may have a lot of difficulty finding. I moved from SoCal and am finding beers I wouldnt have thought Id find. If youre there and you wanna try an Horchata beer. Try the Or Xata by the Breury.

Hands down the best bottle shop in the East Bay. Amazing selection of craft beers at great prices and friendly staff. I only sat in the tap room a couple times before covid but it was a great neighborhood vibe.

This spot is fantastic. Great beer selection on their website, as theyve got a good variety from breweries all around the bay...and they can do really good mixed packs too. Employees are fantastic. Regulars are good people. Also during non-covid times theyre a very relaxing and comfortable bar. Kickass place overall.

The go to spot for craft beer in Oakland. They regularly stock Alvarado and Moonraker (my two favorite breweries out in NorCal)

Review №12

A good selection of beer on tap but also a wide variety available to buy in bottle form. The only negative I have is the music was loud and not to my liking but that has no bearing on enjoying beer.

Best craft beers from top California micro breweries!! Beers from Alvarado street, Russian River brewing, Humblesea Brewing, Alpha Acid...etc... If you are a beer junkie, this is THE SPOT hands down. Im lucky that I only live a block away🤩

My favorite craft beer spot in the Bay Area, hands down. Awesome bottle selection in the back fridges and diverse tap list. Knowledgeable and attentive staff, and only a dollar corkage fee if you want to enjoy your bottle at the bar. The decor is a bit Applebees-esque, but the clientele are always well behaved beer nerds that are there for the brew. Friendly ambience.

Review №23

Amazing beer selection at solid for a bar (pick any can for $5-6 with a $1 opening fee to drink there). Best deal is the bottles and cans, so go for that rather than whats on tap. You can mix n match, so make your own four or six pack and youll be happy you did but that ends up being a bit pricy for beer to go. Great spot that hasnt become too fancy like city beer store in SF.

A great beer bar and bottle (and can Shop)! If you are looking for a impressive and delicious selection of beers, then The Good Hop Bar & Bottle Shop is for you.It’s also worth noting that almost all the beer is refrigerated. Sadly, not all bottle shops offer this important part of the selling of great craft beer. Their staff is amazing, friendly, knowledgeable while not being pretentious or rude. If you don’t know what a beer is, they can help.Parking gods should be first praised and bribed, building good karma.

Wow...we love the Good Hop!!!Melissa the owner was very friendly and knowledgeable on her tap list. Also they have the best beer cooler in the Oakland area for sure! And they will open anything in the cooler for like a buck! Dog friendly and people too!

Not sure where the 5 star ratings are coming from. Maybe a promo if you give a good review? Stopped in for a quick drink but was immediately turned off by the yuppie feel. The beer selection was ok but I’d rather have a better vibe. The staff were pretty annoying too.

Pretty much my favorite bottle shop in the area. They always have a phenomenal selection. The frequently changing tap list often gets me in trouble because I will want to have a pint while Im shopping. Great service, reasonable prices!

This spot is so cute and adorable. Their collection of beer in the cold case and on tap is amazing. The added features of the games, great conversation, the weekly potluck, and great folks who go there make it a #1 spot to hang out.

Review №35

Great small little place to grab a beer to enjoy either there or at home. They have around 18 taps and hundreds of bottles to choose from. You can drink the bottles there or grab some to bring home. They have TVs with sports on if youre looking for a place to watch the game. Dog friendly as well. Great location right near Telegraph and Grand Ave.

Finding gems like this is the reason I love living and working in Oakland. The Good Hop has a huge selection of carefully curated beers from large scale and independent brewers alike. If youre ever trying to find that one limited beer, this is the place to come. The best part is they also have their own selection of beers on draught AND you can buy one of the beers in the case and have them pour it right away. Staff are incredibly friendly and enjoyable and this has become one of my staple stops when picking up beer for the weekend.

Great little spot for all things beer. What looks to me like a high-tech way to get drunk (theres a high-def screen near the register that gives all the needed detail: name, type, origin, % of alcohol, how much is left in the keg(!!)), there is also a GREAT selection of bottle beers you can either drink there for a small fee, or take with you. Nice folks at the bar, too.

Great little bottle shop and taproom on the outskirts of downtown Oakland. Great vibe with lots of awesome brews on tap. Dont like what you see on tap? No worries as there is a fridge full of beverages for you to choose from. I really enjoyed coming here.

Review №41

Neat spot in Oakland that a coworker took us to. They have a few fridges of craft canned beer. You can buy to take out or drink in the bar. They also gave several craft kegs with live keg volume remaining.

Review №42

Great place to pick up some craft beer, emphasis on California and other west coast breweries. very convenient that you can buy individual bottles or six packs to take home, or you can hang out at the bar and choose from over a dozen rotating taps.really chill crowd, friendly bar staff that will help you find something to suit your preference.

Bookends craft beer row of Oakland (Beer Revolution, Trappist, Diving Dog and Good Hop ).GH has going for it...-great rotating selection on tap and in bottles & cans-feels like a cross between a great neighborhood bar and high end craft beer bar-setup nice to watch the As and Warriors (thanks for not being too cool to have TVs!!!)-screens with info about beers on tap is super helpful-great space for two people or twenty people

A good selection of beers on tap and in bottles. They have games on TV to watch. Seating can get tough on trivia night or weekends. They close at 10pm on weeknights so not the best place to hang out for a long evening.

By far this is my favorite beer spot to visit whenever I am in Oakland. The bartenders are great, and their selection of bottled and draft beer is outstanding. They also sell bottles of Underberg which I like to occassionally have with my beer.
