Great beer and food. Nice beer garden in the summer.

THIS is what you want into a neighborhood tap room. Solid beers with a nice selection of styles. GREAT BBQ done in house! Legit brisket and pulled pork. Live music. Great beer, food, and vibe. I'd go on- but what else do need to know????? go NOW! what are you waiting for?

An intimate, warm and friendly place to relax with good beer and BBQ. We were happy with the Burnt Ends, Brisket sandwich and the fresh and tasty sides. They plan to expand the menu to include smoked prime rib. I'll be back soon!

Great atmosphere and service. Beers were top notch. Burnt ends were extraordinary!

I absolutely love this place. If you're looking for a great local brewery (they grow hops!!!) and a simple menu of mouthwatering BBQ favorites, I highly recommend checking out "Hop Garden" They have a fantastic selection of beers made with their own homegrown hops, adding a unique and fresh twist to their brews.Their menu is centered around a few fabulous BBQ dishes that will leave your taste buds begging for more. The burnt ends are to die for, with a perfect combination of smoky flavor and tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat. The Brisket Sandwich is another crowd (and my personal) favorite, featuring succulent slices of slow-cooked brisket piled high on a bun. And let's not forget about the Pulled Pork, which is cooked low and slow until it's incredibly tender and flavorful.But it's not just about the mains – the sides are equally delicious. Their slaw is top-notch, with a perfect balance of crispness and creaminess, adding a refreshing complement to the rich and savory BBQ dishes. The street corn is delightful, featuring grilled corn seasoned to perfection with a hint of smokiness. And the Carolina BBQ Sauce they offer is not to be missed; its tangy and slightly spicy flavor will make you want to slap your momma (figuratively, of course).So, if you're in the mood for great beer, fantastic BBQ favorites, and a side of top-notch slaw, street corn, and Carolina BBQ Sauce, head over to Hop Garden. You won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed this little patio escape right on Main Street. It was perfect weather, so that had a big part to play. They have indoor seating, but the place to be is the garden patio on the side of the building. Solo guitar singer Annie was very relaxing and entertaining. Again, she added greatly to the good vibe of the place. The beer selection was two basic lagers, a stout, and 3 hoppy beers. The stout is very well crafted and reminds me of an Irish stout. The Smooth Operator Lager was nice and well balanced.We got the BBQ burnt ends and pork sandwich. Both had exceĺlent flavor. The burnt ends weren't rendered enough for my taste, so the fat was too much. Love their cilantro slaw. I want to ask for the recipe! I will definitely come back here again

Nice place to sit outside and listen to some really talented musicians! Check out their beer lineup, take a sample first, find the one you like, and have a seat. You'll come back.

Great beer and music on a dog-friendly patio.

The woman who waited on us was very friendly, and made our experience pleasurable. The food was good, but I felt the prices were a little expensive for the quantity received. Other than that, there was live music playing outside in the restaurant's courtyard. It seems like a popular place to go in Evansville.

The food is incredible! Great atmosphere for some craft beers and live music!
Went here for some music and beer on a Saturday night. Outside by the music was full, since it was a great night to be out. Inside also had a number of people, but we could still get a table. The line to order moved quickly and we had our beers in hand in a few minutes. We got the night walk and paddlers pursuit. Night walk lives up to a black ipa, although I wouldn't say it tasted all too hoppy, moreso like a really dark chocolate. Paddlers pursuit was an easy drinking pale ale. Good as always. Also we noticed that they updated the food menu to show the price for a sandwich with side. Thank you for the update!!

We just had some food to go and it was delicious! My husband got the brisket sandwich and he said it was the best he’s ever had, and he’s had a lot of them from a lot of different places lol!
I had the Mexican street corn which was a hit for me and my 3 sons as well and I also had the cilantro lime slaw which was fresh and refreshing!
Would absolutely order food from here again!
