This place was great. Shep put on the Manchester United game for me and we hung out had a few drinks and our dog got some love. The service was great and the music was perfect ambiance.

We love Hops on Birch! I've seen this place mentioned a few times on my dog friendly groups and glad we stopped by. They are dog friendly and Bailey was allowed inside! Also thankful for that because it was so hot outside and I was able to have some beers and my dog with me! They had open night mic on the day we went and they have other events on different days also! Their happy hour can't be beat! Def will be back when we're visiting! Bailey saids 5 stars

Super dog-friendly! :D

What a dog-FRIENDLY beer pub! We were stopping by in Flagstaff, before heading back to our home in Las Vegas. And we had our 25-pound dog with us. We always travel with our precious dog, even on airplanes, inside the cabin. I was so excited to announce to my hubby (who is often skeptical) that I found a dog-friendly brewery. To my own surprise, dogs are even allowed inside the brew pub. Now that is exceptional! This review is a month behind, so I cannot recall the beer we tried, BUT one was IPA & the other was wheat beer, both of which were tasty! The bar manager & female bartender (Kate) were very nice & sociable too.

Lots of fun beer and unique choices on tap and in cans. Friendly service, cool vibe, and overall a great place to pop in for a drink or three when you're in the area.

1/2 pours of several beers we enjoyed up at the bar

Enjoyed our time at Hops on Birch! The place had a cozy, comfortable, almost dive bar feel (but not grimy like a dive bar). We sat up at the bar and received friendly & fast service while enjoying many of the great beers on tap. They also offer a fridge of beers to go; we were happy with the selection of beers to take home.

Visited Hops for the first time in MANY years and it was just OK. The bartender poured the wrong beer so in turn overcharged me. I had to correct him and he had to adjust my price. I honestly didn't feel very welcomed here and there wasn't many people there so I couldn't blame it on being busy..I don't think I'll be back sadly.

Really nice place for beers and wine. They have Games and a friendly staff. Really good rosè. I loved it!! They love pets and your dog is welcomed inside with love!

Dog friendly

Was visiting Flagstaff for a few days for a little get away from the Phoenix heat. Took our dog with us to join in on the adventures. It is very difficult to find a place that will let your dog inside in the building and not be limited to the patio. Hops on Birch is entirely dog friendly so it was a great spot for us to hang for a little bit. Bonus was they were carrying a draft of one of our favorite beers from OKC. Was surprised to see it on draft as it is not a usual draft beer. Will be coming back for more pours in the future!

Good beer selection & dart board. Bartender was nice & gave good suggestions. Cool vibe & at center of downtown flagstaff

Super cozy bar. Makes you feel like you're in the mountains and it has the tavern feeling. Haha We came here after a day of snowboarding at Snowbowl. Parking lot on the street, might be difficult depending on the time. Have to pay for parking on the street, unless you find a strip of no meters, which there is one about a 4 minute walk. There was only one bartender inside working at a time we came. He was disappearing in and out of the kitchen or something I believe. Either way, it was hard to get ahold of the bartender. Not very attentive. But friendly and helpful once you get ahold of the bartender. Really like the feel of The Rustic Tavern feeling inside. They are also pet friendly, as there were two dogs inside. They have real good selection of beer and draft. Love the beer that I got, see picture as posted. Prices aren't too expensive. My beer was maybe around $5. Would recommend coming to check this place out. Also located near other stuff in the downtown part of Flagstaff.

Facing the patio and Birch Avenue

Hops on Birch, recently remodeled, is a great, pet friendly, local hangout. They have plenty of local beers on tap, as well as a fridge filled with cans and bottles and wines. Sit with friends and relax, or play darts, or sit outside and enjoy the fresh mountain air on their mini patio that sits right on Birch Avenue. Weekends are especially busy with music, creating an intimate musical experience as the space is somewhat small- but I like the atmosphere. The bartenders that I've encountered are friendly and generally very knowledgeable to assist with your beverage choice. My favorite spot are the barstools facing the street so you can people watch while enjoying your drink. Give it a try!

Hops On Birch is an awesome bar to catch some unique and local favorites from Flagstaff/Arizona. There aren't a ton of bars in town that keep up with rotating out taps and always having some fresh flavors to try out. Personally, this is one of my go to places to try something new, but also a place that I know I can find a brew that I will enjoy. The only thing that I wish was a little improved here is the events. On the weekends you're bound to have a local musician playing away on their little front end stage which is cool. But I wish that the bar itself had some more creative events to offer. At one point, they were going to host a beer pong tournament, but cancelled a few days before because not enough people signed up which was a bummer. SERVICE: The service here has always been great. The bartenders are always super friendly and welcoming to everyone which is one of the numerous reasons that this place is so awesome. On top of that, the staff is great with offering suggestions or tastes to see what you might enjoy from their list of taps. OVERALL: I really love Hops On Birch for their reliable variety in brews and friendly service. I highly recommend them to anyone local or people passing through. This bar is a great place to try in Flagstaff!

Hipsters everywhere, crappy service, poor attitudes and a very boring selection of brews. I'll forego this joint next time I'm in Flagstaff.

From mixers, to hard liquor, to aisles and aisles lined with fine wines.... Including local offerings that I have never heard of before. I heard that the local Prickly Pear Vodka (I think it was a vodka at least) is amazing. We did not get a bottle too try, but I'll definitely be back when we are in the area again., The best part was that we ended up discovering our new favorite brand of wine / champagne at this place (XXL). They have a bar inside & there were quite a few people sitting at the tables enjoying a drink. The staff were friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They helped guide us to exactly what we were looking for... hence the new favorite wine ! Very nice place to stop and pick up some drinks! I will be back!

The employees we encountered were experienced and great. Definitely try to sit outside (sitting under the roof by the building is just as good as sitting closer to the street in my opinion), though the inside looks very nice, too. I really enjoyed my experiences and look forward to my next visit.

Our server Caroline was excellent! I ordered an Old Fashion cocktail. It came with a large rock, which is good but the drink portion itself was small as the liquid came to about 1/2 way up the cube. Every bar/restaurant I've been in, the drink portion at least comes to the top of the cube? Small pour! Our table ordered 3 shareable appetizers which were substantial in size and very tasty. My date ordered chicken parmigiana and the portion was large enough that she took half home. Bravo! I ordered the lasagna which came in a small maybe 6" diameter bowl with rigid sides which actually made it hard to eat. First bite was tasty but somewhere between crunchy and rubbery which is not what you ever want in your lasagna. I told our server and they asked me what they could get me instead and I opted for spaghetti and meatballs. There were three meatballs and a small amount of spaghetti. The meatballs were great and the pasta was El Dente but the pasta portion was small. I reviewed the bill when I got home and realized that while they credited me for the lasagna, they charged me for the replacement spaghetti and meatballs. No bueno! The other 5 in our party seemed satisfied but the switcheroo between the bad lasagna and the better spaghetti left a bad taste in my mouth. So, small portions, big prices and their policy for rectifying a kitchen mistake includes penalizing the customer for complaining by charging them for their replacement meal.

We've never stopped in to this bar on other visits to Flag. But the large, brightly lit "cocktails"…read moresign called us in this time. This divey little cocktail bar is located down a red hall of the Monte Vista Hotel. The hotel has a fancier bar called Rendezvous, but sometimes you just want a stiff drink in a very unassuming spot. The Monte V cocktail lounge can do that. Loud punk music playing in the background and an older group of people in the bar. It was early like 8:30 or so, I can't say how busy this place gets, there's a large room in the back that apparently used to have a pool table. I think they might have live music sometimes back there. Bartender was friendly, I think he said Steve was his name. He said he makes his old fashioned with the sugar cube still which isn't done by many, it's kind of old timey or divey but it works. It's closer to the original recipe he said. I saw he had a bottle of Luxardo, which is a maraschino cherry spirit, and I have a bottle at home but never know what to make or have enough things so I asked him to make me something with it, he opted for a last word since his bar had green chartreuse. Gin, luxardo, chartreuse, and lime make this lovely cocktail. Our drinks were great and at $12 each, a spirit forward deal! I would definitely come back and have another round of drinks here. This is not a fancy place and I didn't read the other reviews but I have no reason not to give 5 stars, it's a good dive bar that I enjoyed.

Most notably, the wood-fired Neapolitan dough is superb! Beautifully charred, with a great chew that I'd happily eat dipped in olive oil and balsamic all day. UNFORTUNATELY, the execution of the Rucola pie fell short on fundamental balance. After finishing a 7-mile hike, we were eager for a well crafted pizza. What arrived was a red sauce base overwhelmed by a mountain of raw arugula and shaved parmesan, lacking any melted cheese structure. NO CHEESE! WHY THOUGH?? A melted cheese layer provides crucial savory depth and acts as a moisture barrier. Without it, the wet sauce saturated the dough, rendering an otherwise stellar crust soggy and unseasoned (we had to request salt to bring out any flavor). It ultimately felt like a salad served over softened bread rather than a cohesive pie. When we provided feedback, the response was polite but indifferent. While the foundation is clearly there, the balance was completely off. I'd consider giving them another chance with a different pie, but Flagstaff has too many incredible pizza joints to settle for soggy bread. I'll post a follow-up review if I go back.
