City Hops Craft Beer and Wine Bar — Restaurant in New York

FIRST THINGS FIRST- I’m from Connecticut, so places like this are very rare where I live. That being said, I wish this place would franchise in my neighborhood. We kind of randomly found this place after we trammed into the city from Long Island City. We actually went to the bar across the street first, and were glared at by everyone in there, making us well aware that we were NOT from around here. Needless to say, we left and ended up at City Hops. I’m so glad we did! I don’t like beer at all- it’s not my thing. My husband loves IPA’s and it was his birthday so I took one for the team and was hopeful they’d have a random bottle of wine or something. To my surprise, they had ciders! Which I absolutely love. The one I had was Berries and Cream something or other and it was a bit sour but very good. And very strong. The guy we talked to (who seemed like he was the owner) said they were working on their wine list again, so that’s a cool thing to know. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and made us a 4-pack to go. A really great experience. And even though it was clear we were not “regulars”, the staff and guests alike make us feel very welcomed. Super chill vibe, really well done. Please come to...

Long overdue review for one of the best beer spots in the city. City Hops consistently has some of the most interesting beers in rotation, both on tap and in their fridges. Even better than the beer is the hospitality - the bartenders are super friendly and can always recommend you something that matches your preference (shout-out to Jose!) If beer isn't your thing, they also got a great selection of wines by the glass and plenty of non-alcoholic choices. Two TVs allow you to catch multiple games at the same time. But with its big picturesque windows, City Hops is also the perfect place to grab a drink and watch NYC life pass by.

We just stopped at this place a couple of month ago to take out some beer. They offered to taste 4 small samplers for $10, which sounded reasonable. Most of the choices were not that good, but one was okay. Then we asked how much is one 36 oz bottle and the barman told that it is $12 each. So we ordered two bottles and asked for the final bill. We expected that to be $10+2*$12=$34 plus some tax. Simple math, right? No, the bill was $104 (3x times more!). For the two bottles of beer? Seriously? The guy just lied us about $12/bottle. It was a price for an empty glass! And that mediocre beer is sold for the price of aged whiskey. It is not a right way to do the business to lie to your customers and steal their money. I feel like I got robbed! Avoid this place! There are much better honest...
