    Awesome service and a solid lineup of beers can be found at Hoi Polloi. I really enjoyed the chill vibe of this place, as well as the music. The range of styles of available beers was excellent, and it was nice to see they have a few guest brews on tap.

    Nice variety and chill vibe. The music selection was great. The hazy IPA had good body and full flavor. I liked the guest brews they had as well. Free popcorn to snack on and they also encourage ordering food from local businesses.

    Only been here once but the beer was great and the bartender was and helpful. Plus lots of nice puppies!

    Super friendly staff, mellow ambience, good (but not great) beer they brew. DJ on weekend nights. Not a lot of space, but you typically don't wait too long for a seat.

    They brew great beer and serve great popcorn (the secret is the Truffle oil). A chill and friendly atmosphere.
