Cool spot known for their giant self-pour beer wall. The spot is spacious and super clean. You're greeted at the front, you hand them a card, and in return are given a bracelet so you can get started. Then, when you find a beer you like, you just tap the bracelet and pour your own beer. I enjoyed my visit.
I love Hoppin! I usually come on Tuesdays for Trivia and honestly have the best time! Parking can be a bit tough, but thats Charlotte for ya! When you check in with the front, they collect a card for a tab and provide you a tap bracelet for your pours! I always enjoy making my round thru the options down and upstairs! Yes, there is an upstairs! They have a cute patio/outside seating too for when the weather isn't unbearable (fall/winter time). Trivia starts at 7, and Hailey is an AMAZING host!! Some weeks are themed and others are just fun random knowledge! The staff is super nice and accommodating - whatever questions about the beer you have, they can answer!! If you havent been to Hoppin yet, pick a day to go (but pick Tuesdays for a little extra fun!)
Whenever I'm in Southend, I enjoy going to hoppin they have a wide variety of beers, wine and mimosas. Recently they added a blocker so that you can get shot and other drinks such as gummy bear or frozen lemonade with vodka. There's always live music and very outgoing atmosphere and dogs are welcome as well. They do offer food, in case you get hungry and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the products.
I went here with a friend on a Friday night. This place was nice and clean. When you arrive they give you a wrist band and you give the cashier a card for it to charge your drinks at the end of the night. This place is dog friendly. They have food trucks outside. They have a variety of 60 beers on tap that you pour yourself. They also have some wines and a full bar. The staff was friendly the space was nice and chill they have games for people to play. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This place is cool to come for a vibe or to just grab a drink and chill for a second. This is street parking available. It would be best to park in the parking garage and walk over.l to the place because parking can be limited.
Stopped in for Mingo(music bingo) such a fun time. They have a nice amount of seating and a variety of beers 62 on tap!!! If you're up for a fun Wednesday night, come grab beer a cocktail or tacos from the food truck. Must try the shrimp tacos!
Went here with a bunch of friends. It was a fun experience that they let you take beers from tap and use their bands to tap and create an account. They had bunch of local beers but they could Work more on their ambience. It was a little mundane.
Great concept! So you provide your credit card upon entry and they give you the keys to the taps! Dangerous indeed. The concept sounds great...but they the actual execution had some challenges. The wristband to activate the taps doesn't work well and the sometimes the keg is really foamy or running out so you have to get someone to take it off your bill. They were accommodating....but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. It won't keep me from coming back again!
The atmosphere at hoppin is one to beat. From the menu to the service you'll have an amazing experience. Jeff and Jacob are your go to guys. Jeff is the sweetest and offers the best experience and Jacob is your go to bartender and makes just about anything and everything he makes is simply the best. Found my new go to spot!
Always a good time . This was my first time on the weekend and the music was playing , games were on the tv and it was a nice crowd. I love the concept and just trying new stuff anddddd my bill is so cheap. Not a fan of the dog thing but so many Charlotte venue welcomes the furry people.
I'm not a big beer drinker (honestly I don't like it) but Hoppin opened my eyes. This was my first time at Hoppin and I decided to come on their one year anniversary. The concept is pretty cool. You give them your id and a credit card when you arrive. They give you a wristband that controls the dispensers. You grab a glass and can choose from beer, wine or cider. Then when you're ready to go you return your wrist band and cash out. There is a penalty if you lose/don't return the band and an automatic gratuity charged to your card. You can also do a fast check out where you leave your wrist band in a bin and your card is charged and an automatic gratuity. The place was packed for the anniversary party. There was barely any place to sit and it was hard to maneuver around to the dispensers. There was also a private party upstairs that was roped off and you weren't able to get to some of the dispensers. I was never able to find the ciders but did try a kombucha and a fruit beer. I still had a fun time and actually found a beer I like!! I love Hoppin concept because I can actually try a bunch of beer and not have to pay an arm and a leg for something I don't like. I will def be back in the near future!!! Hoppin 1402 Winnifred St Charlotte, NC 28203 Saturday February 23, 2019 7:30pm
Bookmarked this location when they first opened and couldn't wait to come visit. The place was definitely one to remember... Parking is going to take some planning. As with any place in South End, parking on the street or catching an Uber/Lyft may be the best option. You can park on Bland St. and walk over if you're not able to find parking on any of the side streets that aren't private parking for the local residents. When we walked in, we were greeted by the young lady at the first register who asked if we'd been before and proceeded to thoroughly explain the concept once we told her that we were newbies. She was super pleasant! There was live music, as it was Friday evening. Weirdly enough, I couldn't really hear the music from the street... but once I got inside, it was super loud on the lower level... so if you go during the evening then be prepared to talk at an elevated level. When you first walk in, there is a nice wall to your right that has beer, but if you want something more subtle... there are selections around the corner. There were two gentlemen that were in the area were readily available to answer any questions or make suggestions, if you're unsure. I also appreciated the fact that they had Cranberry and Orange just available... because who said mimosas are just for breakfast?! There are two levels with an outside patio part. If you're wanting to find an intimate area to sit with a special person, then head upstairs. You can still hear the music, there is a wall of beer selections (fewer but still convenient so you don't have to walk downstairs) and there are nice cozy couches available for you to relax on. However, I did notice that if you were drinking wine, then you would have to go back downstairs to refill, as it's only beer upstairs (I could've missed it, so go see and let me know if I'm just blind). Lastly, THEY HAVE WIFI! There are a few places that "offer" wifi but it never works. The signal here was strong and the sign with the password was located at the bottom of the stairs. Overall, this was a nice addition to the beer scene in South End and because it's me doing the pouring, I had just the amount I wanted of two beer selections, for $4. Can't beat that! I will more than likely go back with friends that come in town to visit.
The atmosphere was very relaxed. Of course the main thing I liked was the fact that it's a self-serve bar. That way you don't have to wait when it's crowded to be served. The staff was very friendly, and informative. The only thing I dislike about this place, is a fact that they allow pets on the first floor. The customers play with these dogs, rub on them, pick them up and do everything that you can think of with a dog..... .then turn right around and head to the self-serve bar without washing their hands. I didn't get a chance to try any of the food from the food truck, but my friends did and they enjoyed it.
Love this place! Great vibes & people! Jacob & Aspen was awesome! He was very attentive and helpful.
This place is legit. You check in and are given a wrist fob to try the dozens of wine and ale options. You scan the fob and you then pour your beverage of choice and are charged by the ounce. It keeps a running tab and allows you to keep track of it. Once done, you turn your fob back in and close out your tab. I highly recommend this place. The fruit ales are pretty on point. read more
I recommend! I visit hopping on a Thursday for their special that they have between 5 and 7 PM . With any purchase from their tap room, you can receive two tacos from the taco truck. I visited with one of my girlfriends and we had a wonderful time trying different wines from their tap options, the wine selection is much smaller than the beer selection. They also have liquor for you to order at the bar as well and a few frozen drink options. I would visit again. read more
This is a fun place with a great selection of beer and ciders, and a friendly staff. It's a cool setup, where you scan your card and receive a wristband to pour your drinks Pay as you drink- I got quite a few 3oz pours for $20 or so. Chill atmosphere and nice outside seating as well as an upstairs. The only thing we didn't like was the automatic 20% gratuity added- TWENTY percent!! Not really sure what we were tipping on as we were handed our wristbands and that was it? I could see tipping if you are getting a mixed drink at the bar and I'm a previous SI worker but this tip culture has gotten out of control. read more

First time here. Great selection of beers as well as Prosecco and wines for those none beer drinkers. Great atmosphere. Food truck outside is so good too. Games inside and very spacious. Staff is incredibly friendly. Con: It was a little tricky getting the beer to pour out, you have to hold the bracelet against the scanner, and not just tap it like it initially seems. Others were also having this struggle. But once you hold it you can pour the beer. It's a special balance of holding it and still trying to tilt your glass after opening the tap. Once you figure it out, you're good to go. read more

Love this place. Enjoying IPAs, time honored brews, snacks and luscious wine choices. The service is amazing. We met the owner, his Dad and his Best Friend. They offered each group a tour and the layout is amazing. There are three areas: the main room, the loft area with sofas and dart boards; and the outside areas with a fire pit. You will love the chairs here they are super comfy. There are bistro table sets, group tables, sofa areas for intimate seating and numerous options underneath the stars. There are three massive TVs that feature different sporting events on eaxh one with close captioning. Did I mention the super cool wristband that allows you to drink as much as you want via self-pour from all the beer and wine selections then just pay when you leave? The technology is on point! read more

5 stars for the idea! 3 stars for the cost, can get pricey. 1 star for added gratuity, 15% if u don't check out individually. Perhaps the wages are not adequate, I'm guessing..? It's Self serve, maybe we could get the gratuity/or discount? Overall, very cool and a MUST if u like beer or wine. read more

Such a cool concept. You pay by the ounce and there's tons of taps to choose from. You get a wristband that you scan to start the tap and you can pay at the end when you're finished drinking or drop the wristband for an increased gratuity into a bin so you don't have to wait in line. There were tons of board games there to pull from the shelf and play. There was also a food truck out back with delicious tacos. It was definitely a fun date night! read more
I really enjoyed my first visit to Hoppin'. It's in a very walkable area of South End , and has more room on the inside than you would think. Here you can swipe your card for a wrist band that you can wear to get beer, wine, and I believe cocktails on tap. Once you get the hang of wear to wave your wrist band, you're all set. You are only charged by the ounce, so you can make it a 'personalized flight' experience if you like, or you can drink your faves. I appreciated the sufficient selection of ciders available. There choices available on both floors, but the space is all open. There are some smaller outdoor patios and darts upstairs. There is a turf lined patio downstairs. Definitely looking forward to going again, I imagine it's very busy on the weekends. Not so much on weekdays, which is perfect for me. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday and came at a good time. We didn't wait long to get checked in. The guy at the desk was friendly and funny. We found a table to sit at easily. There is also a upstairs and outdoor area. My husband loved the beer and so did everyone else. I don't drink so I had a water bottle with me and a guy came up to me and gave me a glass and took my water bottle and poured it in there. I thought it was strange that he did that without asking but he told me that they have had some issues where people come in bringing water bottles and filling it up with vodka lol. No problem, I understand. We sat around for about two hours. The whole place is refreshing and cool. The bathrooms were also really clean! We would definitely come back. read more

Is it kid friendly? And since food is not served, can we bring outside food in?
Hey Sherry, we do allow young kids under 10 during the day on weekends and during the early evenings during the week. We do get very busy Fridays and Saturdays so just be cautious of those days.
Do they serve food / snacks?
They don't serve food. But they do have menus for a food truck that is down the street and a pizza place that will deliver.
