One of Vancouver's most welcoming microbrewery lounges reflects the Italian heritage of the team behind it (the name means 'hops' in Italian). Order a four-glass tasting flight and dive right into their ever-evolving roster of 10 or so tipples (IPAs and accessible sours recommended). The accompanying nosh is also top-notch, especially freshly prepared flatbread sandwiches and superior bar snacks including cheese and charcuterie.
Local art lines the walls on one side of the room, while cool geometric wood paneling frames the servers behind the counter; nip around the corner and you'll also find a large window overlooking the shiny-tanked brewery. Weekly trivia nights and live music are also on the agenda here; check their website calendar for up-to-the-minute details.
