Vast craft beer selection with knowledgeable staff & tastings

















"This shop/bar is a craft beer nerd’s dream (the walls are lined with fridges of six-packs), but it’s a fun place to hang even if you don’t know the difference between an I.P.A. and a Pilsner. We also appreciate any bar that takes its hygiene seriously – Top Hops marks each draft beer with the date that the line was last cleaned. Which basically makes us never want to drink draft beer anywhere else." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"Between the sheer variety of options and the friendly staff to help you figure out what you like, Top Hops Beer Shop on the LES is the ultimate gateway beer bar experience. Even if you’re savvy enough to recognize the taste of galaxy hops, we’d still recommend asking the staff what they’re currently excited about. Considering there are 700 cans and bottles to choose from (not including whatever’s on draft), you might want some help narrowing it down." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
"This Essex Market beer shop has cans available for pick-up and delivery from 2pm to 7pm daily. To place an order, call 917-261-2561 or send them an email at deliveries@tophops.com." - nikko duren
"I observed that Top Hops has a storefront in the Pearl Street building but is no longer listed on the food hall’s website." - Melissa McCart
"Craft beer destination Top Hops is set to close its flagship Lower East Side beer store on April 18; owners Ted Kenny and Christina Cahill told Eater that the business 'remains very alive and well' as they look for a new home in the neighborhood." - Luke Fortney
