Big Hops is my favorite hole-in-the-wall beer place in San Antonio. My buddies and I have been going here for over a year now. Great place to meet up at the end of a long work day. They have a solid selection of rotating beers on tap so there is something new to try every week. And its all local beers! 🍺🍺

Great in-house made selection, staff on point and friendly, and oh...They have live bands playing every Saturday.

Get out of the mainstream and visit your craft beer bars. Big Hops has a local feel with personable service. Our bartender, Eric, was friendly and knowledgeable. Every recommendation he gave was spot on, and we all had a blast. The beers on tap are novel and delicious. Come expecting an adventure, and enjoy the ride. You wont be disappointed.

Real cool place to grab a local beer. Helpful and friendly bartender.

They had a good beer selection. The waitress was really nice and friendly and brought our beers to the table. Would definitely go again

Large selection of beer, good service, and clean environment. Theres a small patio out back and you can bring food in from the several restaurants around the bar. They have lots of tvs and board games available for use.

Great beer and service. Feels like home.

Nice place tucked away as a friendly neighborhood bar/hangout joint. They have trivia on Tuesdays and the staff was helpful, friendly, and just all around nice. They have video game tournaments during the week, lots of TVs for sports, and check out their chill patio in the back. If you’re lucky, sweet doggies might come up and check you out!

Seriously so happy, I actually found this location accidentally! Amazing staff, so humble. The crowd is chill and friendly so its not awkward. My husband and I sat and talked to an Army Veteran who is a regular that suggested we bring in food, chill there and have amazing beer. So glad we took his advise. We ended up sitting there talking to him for a good few hours.Thats now our regular spot to have a date. They are not expensive at all. So the good reviews you see are pretty spot on.Live long and Prosper,Bri. 🖖🏾❤️

Great and knowledgeable bartenders. Good music (most of the time). Decent beer selection.

Very nice place. Enjoyed a few beers with my son and his wife. Great service and wide range of choices!

Love Big Hops selection and service!

What can I say this place has Beer! Pinthouse pizza electric Jellyfish is amazing go here for BEER!

Great beer options and staff is chill!😁

Fabulous craft creations.

Great atmosphere, basketball hoop in the back is the perfect place to play horse against your mates for a free brew.

Best beer selection in town! Mike gave us amazing service! We will 100% be back often

Objectively the best bar in San Antonio. Every Wednesday around 7-8PM there is a Smash Brothers Tournament!

31 beers on tap, crowlers, growlers and you can bring your own food

Nice place to try different beers.

Real chill spot with lots of varieties of craft beers. Check it out.

I was going here for Monday night trivia for a while. It was a fun hour, filled with an entertaining host and some good beers that I’d never heard of. I got a growler fill a few times, but we never stayed long after trivia. They’re not technically a bar, so their hours are shorter, but they fill growlers and server beer on site. It seems like a nice place to spend a few hours.

Amazing selection of quality craft beer. Local / Texas beers are always majority. Knowledgeable staff and CLEAN LINES

Excellent place to grab a beer. They have 30 or so beers on tap and they rotate them regularly so there is always something new to try. Its craft beer at its finest. Bring your growler and take home some good craft beer. Or, buy a growler and have it filled while you are there. Excellent spot and friendly staff that will educate you on beer styles at no extra charge. Absolutely a great place to go. Cheers.

Great selection, awesome service!!!

Great spot for Sunday for football. great rotating beer selection and always fresh. if you see the owner Rob in there be sure to say hi, hes down to earth and friendly as they come. looking forward to my next visit aka get away from home

We visited from out of town and our bartender was amazing. He asked what we liked and poured us some amazing beers. He even recommended places to live and things to do (we were on the hunt). We will def be back! :)

All locations are great but I most frequently drop into this one. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly, promptly ready to answer any questions you may have. The ever changing selection is great and keeps you on your toes!

My Happy Place...

Great stout beer!!

Love, love, love Big Hops. Corey always takes really good care of us. They have a bunch of Freetail on tap, right now. Very chill place you can do samples to figure out what you like. Lol, South Park was on one of the screens. Mondays is 3 dollar pints. Cheers!

This is the place to be to drink some great beer!!!

Great beer selection

Excellent beer. Excellent staff. The hubs, kid, and me love hanging out here. You can also bring outside food in. Los Balitos is amazing which is a couple doors down. Wingstop is also nearby.

This place is great. If you appreciate great craft beer, then youll love it here.They have an always-rotating selection of beers, most local to Texas. You can get a taster, a pint, or a 32-64 oz. growler to go.The staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to give a suggestion for new beers to try. I like that they always have root beer on tap, so I can stop by with my kiddo (and my wife can still enjoy while shes pregnant.)I stop in about once a week, and I always recommend Big Hops to my friends.

This place always has several great beers on tap with a good variety. Its clean, usually with a pretty classy crowd, and the bartenders are all real cool. Only thing -- the crowd is very after work rich men. Not your colorful cast of regulars in a friendly dive.

Do you love good qualify craft beer? Youll LOVE Big Hops Growler Station. You can buy a growler from their inventory or bring your own from home. I frequently stop by on my way home from work to pick up some new deliciousness they have on tap, and enjoy from the comfort of my own couch.The only downside, they only have about 3 or 4 sit down tables so its not a great place to meet up with a large group. Plenty of bar and counter space to either stand or pull up a chair. Ive taken my own lawn chairs before and the owners didnt have a problem with it.

Super chill place.

I came here with work friends this evening and was here for a few hours. We were sitting outside and were not being waited on. We were going inside and waiting in line for drinks, which was fine. The tab was in my name and at the end of the night the total came out to around $110. My friends and I were putting cash in the tip jar throughout the evening. I tipped the bartender a couple of dollars with each round of beers, so probably $10-12 total. I also tipped the bartender an additional $5 when I closed the tab. My friends and I were finishing our beers when a woman (a patron of the bar, not an employee) suddenly appeared at our table and demanded to know who Michael K was. When I replied that I was him, she began to verbally accost me in front of my friends for the $5 tip I left the bartender. I was not sure who this woman was or how she knew my name. I explained that my friends and I had been leaving tips throughout the evening and that we werent being waited on, but she continued to yell and argue with me until I finally gave the bartender a $20 bill to put an end to the situation. The bartender was aware of the situation and didnt try to intervene. I also think she must have given my name to the woman who accosted me, which is unacceptable. My friends and I were having a great night until this occurred. I will not be returning.

Great atmosphere. Several microbrews to choose from. Growler exchange.

One of my favorite places to come for a great beer! Had my birthday here last year and Rob was nothing but helpful! Great atmosphere and great beer! Drink on!

Showed up midday. Not too busy. The bartender was very knowledgeable and helpful in letting me try some of the areas best beers. Good pricing on in house and to go items. Will definitely come back when Im in town.

Very friendly staff. Bar tender remembered what I was drinking from my previous visit. Very chill atmosphere. Great, rotating beer selection.

Love this place! Best craft beer bar in San Antonio! The staff know their beer and how to provide great service in a comfortable environment. Five Stars all around!

Loved the selection here. The bartender helped me find a new beer that I feel in love with! Great atmosphere too!

One of the most chilled back craft beer bars around. It has been a favorite of mine for many years. The taps are always changing and you can always have a sample or three, before you commit to a whole beer. Just go in and tell them what you normally drink... They will point you in the right direction.

Could only be better if they sold a large variety of bombers, bottles and cans for take out along with growlers and crowlers. A good place for craft beers..

Literally the best place locally to expand my Untapped repertoire. Ever-changing craft taps, any growler filled, hip atmosphere, friendly staff, charity events, and even a pool table! What more could a beer-nut ask for?

Great beer selections. Nice space. Good music.

Bitters location of the franchise beer tap house. This location is the largest of the three San Antonio Big Hops taprooms. Although the biggest, its usually not overly crowded or loud. Even on event nights, there is usually space to sit and the buzz is low enough to carry on a conversation. Love the selection of craft draft brews!

Great place to try really good craft beers and take home a growler full of your favorite.

Great beer, music, staff, patio. You can bring in your own food. More board games on sheIf and Id say pretty near a perfect joint.

First time here, wasnt crowded, decent selection of beer on tap and huge parking lot

Great place to get craft beer for cheap. All the bartenders that Ive seen here have been incredibly nice and helpful. If youre in San Antonio, dont miss this place!

The selection varies, the staff is very knowledgeable, the place is cozy, and the other customers are friendly. Public Safety discount.

Loved the bar staff and always had plenty of Texas craft beers on tap.

Great place to go to and get some unique craft beers. Get a growler or bring your own so you can take it home with you! Love going to this place, really good atmosphere.

If you like beer, this place is for you! They consistently have new things on tap. Pro Tip: if you download the app you can see what they have on tap at all three locations in San Antonio.

This is the best craft beer bar in town hands down. The bartenders always have lots of information concerning the brews and will be able to find you a beer for you

Fun place to hang out, have some local drinks and play Smash Bros!

Friendly and helpful staff. Two great locations to serve up some frequently changing craft beer. Love that these guys have exposed me to some great local Texas breweries.

I went with my g/f on a Sunday and had a blast. Steve was very helpful and got two growlers that day. Will be going back there often!

Great selection, friendly staff

Beer list was heavy on IPAs. Although not that busy, service was terrible on every beer ordered and closing the tab which took 10 minutes alone.

Being a beer nerd/snob/enabler, it is hard to find a passionate, knowledgeable and friendly staff to help explore the ever expanding world of craft beer. Big Hops has all of this and more! Did they mention you can take your beer home with you?!? This is amazing!

Love all of the Big Hops locations. Great beer bars!

Good beer selection and quiet atmosphere

Excellent selection of Texan brews. The bartender, Mike, was extremely knowledgeable about brewing and yeast. I shall return.

Very snooty crowd. Ive lived in S.A. all my life and never been so subjected to offense like this. I guess all the light skin ppl think that a shader darker than them should be at home after landscaping their homes., dealing with family and drinking Modelos?

Excellent selection, not loud, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean bathrooms, good deals, and they offer events. 5 stars well earned!

How is a good place for a great selection of beer.

Great place to hang out and have some beers.

Great Beer selection!

Pretty decent beer selection.Bar service was very friendly and knew what they were pouring.Looking forward to going back!

It will never be Broadway, but seeing Rob there 4 out of 5 visits helps. Always good people, always great brews.

Great beer and friendly staff with a rotating tap wall. Highly recommend!

Great back patio!

Not too shabby. Great selection of beer. Didnt see any liquor

Low key tap room with many Local and microbrews. They sell and fill growlers, too.

Nice atmosphere.... Little pool game & a couple of beers💚

Laidback place for tasty brews. Games some nights. Easy parking.

There is a beer for every pallet here, plus mead, plus cider and in this location food joints all around. Well played.

Great service, good beer selection,

I arrived today bright and early at 3:05 for a lunch beer. I walked in (door unlocked) and asked if theyre ready for business. An anemic, homeless looking, ptsd riddled Johnny Depp looking mopey kid told me he has to run out next door to get a sandwich, and if I want to wait in my car till hes done eating on the clock, hell be right back.This will be my last stop through here.

They always have a new beer to try.

Good place to chill, got good craft beer!!

Not too loud. Great place to drink great beer and talk with friends.

Awesome. Just simply awesome. Great selection, outstanding staff, and an amazing atmosphere.

Great local/Texas beers, but feels a bit sterile.

Huge selection.. great atmosphere for imbibing a pint or two.

Relaxing environment to enjoy local brews. The menu is constantly changing to appease the pallette of all of the local patrons.

Great beer, great staff, always doing interesting things. Love it

Great beer bar. Taps are always changing.

Very nice craft brew selection, pool table, darts, live television for sports games. Please bring back Free Pizza Monday’s.

Lots of interesting selection - beer, Mead, non alcoholic - great if you want a variety.

The drinks are great. Come for the drinks. Avoid the food. Not even up to bar food quality. The food is crap.

They have a nice selection of local beers and the staff are very helpful in making good decisions on your beer selection.

Chill spot with good craft beer selection. Has a patio out back for the cooler nights.

Awesome place to sit and grab a drink from a strong selection of beer. They have Jenna available to play which makes it even more entertaining after a few.

Great craft beer selection!
