Along Center Street, the main through way, stands Hopland Tap House. What a GEM! From the brick facade, to the patio, to the shuffle board table, to the jukebox, this establishment is bursting with character!

Being a “tap house,” we assumed the selection of draught beers would be pretty awesome and I’m happy to report we were not disappointed. Pranqster, a locally brewed beer was our favorite. Not to worry, if you’re not a brew drinker, there are a handful of nonalcoholic beverages offered as well. I recommend the fresh squeezed lemonade.

Now onto the food…come hungry! It was refreshing to see such a variety of food on a bar menu, suitable for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. Since a trip to Hopland is out of our regular routine, I had to try more than one item. It was a turkey panini and pastrami wrapped hotdog kind of lunch – both served with a side salad dressed in a DELICIOUS light vinaigrette. The turkey panini was as fresh as can be topped with pesto sauce and pressed to perfection. But the pastrami wrapped beef hotdog was on a whole new level. Caramelized pastrami…need I say more?! GET IT.

Aside from the yummy food and rockin’ drinks, the staff was so friendly and extraordinarily helpful. I am already looking forward to my next stop at Hopland Tap House and hopefully the weather will be prettier so that we can sit outside on the patio and enjoy a feast with GG!
