Hop Garden Tap Room - Belleville

Instructions for your next free warm evening: (1) go to Paoli, (2) buy a John Steinbeck candle at the local shop, (3) go to Hop Garden and order a pint of Dusk Bunny, then (4) have a seat at a picnic table facing the Sugar River and contemplate the meaning of life (or just pet all the pups that walk by) next to the lit candle while the sun sets behind you.

Love the outside space...you can listen to music and drink beer. Fun outside atmosphere! The beer on the other hand is very underwhelming I am sad to say. I have stopped here a good amount of times over the past few years, and the beer is just not good. My partner had a beer that tasted of mildew...ugh. my beer recently was an imperial that really was just meh. I keep going cuz I support local breweries, but it really is hard to drink the beer here.

Beautiful outdoor area to enjoy a beer. Very dog friendly and great live music!

I first came here on a whim on a bike ride down from Madison and I was blown away. The most immaculate summer vibes you could possibly imagine. Great outdoor seating, live music, beer, margaritas, tacos, ice cream, the river...doesn't get any better.For the bicyclists: If you're coming here via the Badger State Trail, there is a way to access the road leading to Paoli...just be careful of tree branches :

Stopped on New Year's day not expecting them to be open but they were! Had a couple of delicious beers, the staff was super friendly and can't wait to visit when it is nice out
