The Hop Shack in Leeds

Brilliant selection of beer, friendly staff and customers

Great little Craft bar, excellent service and tasty beverages!

You need to visit this pub! Great experience

Cracking place in Horsforth with good selection of beers

Totally awesome little bar with friendly staff and a fine choice of beer

Visited to try Verdant Putty. It was sadly sold out but the beer board has lots to offer so that wasn't a problem. Seating is focused around the bar so getting served wasn't that easy. But if I was a local I would happily also get on people's way and chat/drink away the afternoon. I didn't go upstairs but I suspect that would have been a better place for folk to take kids and dogs as it was pretty busy by the time we left around 7pm. I'm all for family friendly beer places we I take kids to many pubs/bars/taprooms. But not sure having them sat at the bar is suitable. Maybe staff should encourage that type of group to use the other spaces. I will no doubt visit again but I think the seating need a bit of a look at.

Great place for a pint or two with friends and neighbours. Great beers that are well looked after. It’s like ‘Cheers’ but in Horsforth. All run by a lovely team. Dexter the dog is ace, always says hello and is the most friendly dog I’ve ever met, obviously a good judge as he likes it here too!

A lovely local. Can’t speak more highly about the great bar staff and beers.

Smashing little bar with a really good rotation of craft beers and off licensing. The regulars are a friendly and fun bunch, complimenting the wonderful, knowledgeable staff. It's a very family, and dog friendly place so don't complain if you meet small children or big dogs. They come with the territory and help to make the place the community hub that it is.

A Local Gem with Unbeatable Atmosphere! **Review:** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ From the moment you step into this authentic pub, you're greeted with warmth that makes you feel right at home. The hosts, Liz, Jamie, and Andy, are the heart and soul of this place, offering not just service but genuine friendliness and great banter that adds to the “local boozer” ambiance. The selection of beers, especially the IPAs, is simply fantastic – each one with its unique taste and character. It's evident that they have been chosen with care, catering to both connoisseurs and those new to the world of craft beers. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this pub is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates a friendly atmosphere, excellent drinks, and hosts who go the extra mile to make your experience memorable. Cheers to the best pub in Horsforth!

As soon as I walked through the door the large, unrestrained dog behind it jumped up and barked/lunged continuously at me in an offensive stance for a full fifteen-twenty seconds as the bar attendant and three customers laughed heartily, making zero attempt to intervene. No word of apology or conciliation. Fortunately I’m large and not too easily perturbed by terrible dog ownership, but here’s your one-star review for the sensitive soul you could easily have given a much bigger problem to. Also, no prices on anything in the fridge is pretty unhelpful. If you weren’t the last place open on a Sunday I’d have walked straight back out.

Fantastic little bar for quality craft beer. Try the Jute by Salt if you haven't already!

Edited review. Nice rotation of beers on tap. Nothing special. Shelves looking a bit empty with nothing special unless you like your Kirkstall beers or run of the mill stuff can get in supermarkets. I mentioned this to my wife who had gone in to buy me some cans and said (and I agree), owners never offer to help with selecting beers. It's the little things that make a massive improvement.

Another gem in Horsforth very good real ales from local area, locals and staff very welcoming highly recommended

Lots of different ales to choose from.

Great pint of cloudwater other shore here. Very relaxed. I will definitely be back.

Best pub in Horsforth (and probably all of Leeds)

Great beer and great service 2022 and as good as ever, now with alcohol-free options ;-)

The Hop Shack is filled with lovely beers served by an awesome team! The patrons are lovely. It is my happy place - no place I’d rather have a beer.

Awesome range of beers, lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere, extra seating upstairs, dog friendly and some board games too. What more could you ask for!

Great choices for lagers, beers & ales with a pleasant atmosphere & reasonable prices.

Super cute place to grab a beer to-go (they have a decent selection of cans and you can fill a growler of beer on tap). Staff and owner is super nice- would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a unique and local beer selection. 🍺

Great little bar, perfect for a nice ale.

Top beer shop. Great choice of local and selected ales. Plan another visit once we can sit in and try what's on taps.

Cosy and friendly with a great range of draft and bottled/tinned beers.

Lovely, cosy and welcoming shop. The seating area upstairs is a hidden gem too. Great selection of beers. They allow dogs in there too which is fantastic.

Great choice of beers, in or take out.

A great find for me recently, amazing little bar with a fab range of beers!

A great find. Wide selection of good quality beer either on keg or bottle/can, with a knowledgeable bar man, and a great atmosphere.... What more do you want? I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great selection of tap beers. Nice to buy from a proper local business

Lots of interesting craft ales. Really enjoyed my visit.

Always have a great range of beers on, and now it turns out I know the owner! Will definitely go again soon

The bar staff were very unfriendly and unwelcoming to us. They said they didn't recognise us so didn't want to serve us which I've never had at a bar before. Wouldn't bother going back to try it again.

Wide selection of canned, bottled and keg beers to drink in the micro-pub or take away. Monthly comedy club in the upstairs room.

Smashing beer on tap, and good selection of craft ale to go. Friendly and helpful staff too. Would really recommend popping up and having a few :)

Friendly and welcoming, great choice of beer, all delicious, great music. Lots of steps and the toilet is in the basement, so only any good if you are fine with steps.

Great, independent drinking venue all beers and cider's are picked because they are all locally sourced and taste great.

Good beers, friendly staff, great atmosphere

Always enjoyed The Hop Shack. Visited numerous times over the years. Great beer selection that's always rotating. Although small from downstairs theres a generous seating area upstairs. Bit out of the way from other Horsforth pubs but well worth the 10 minute walk from Town Street.

Amazing place. Great Atmosphere and drinks selection

Perfect place to explore a great deal of crafty brews & chill for a drink or 2. characterful crew and welcoming merch.

modern bottle bar with a fine range of real ales and a comfy vibe. 'Pricey but nicey'.

Huge range of cans in addition to the keg lines. Impossible not to find something to your liking. Friendly staff and locals. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Very friendly...regulars happy to engage

Great little store just off the main road to Leeds. Fantastic selection of beers to buy for take out, or sitting in. Keep an eye out for the refrigerated selection if you're taking out!

The best place for a drink in Horsforth. Great beer selection, found some of my favourites in this place. Also a selection of wines, Prosecco and spirits. Dog friendly. Staff are great and the atmosphere is always fun and vibrant.

Great selection of beer and really friendly staff. Always a good night out.

Too much choice. Guess I'll just have to keep going back...

Really cool place to drink interesting beer, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Brilliant place. Great beer and good vibes

I really like this place. The staff are always really friendly and the place is just lovely to go and have a nice beer or two. There's plenty of choice and you can even take some beers out with you from their excellent can selection.

Was charged £6 for a pint. Defo won't be going back at those prices.

Always a great visit. Fantastic beers (Gamma Ray for me tonight). Brill hosts and the best people to chat to.

Great place to drink, eat and relax

Good craft beer in cans and bottles from the big names, plus a few on keg.

What a cool place.. Relaxed environment with so many ales to choose from

Friendly welcoming. Excellent selection of craft beers , cinders etc..

Small, quirky, contemporary. Expect a big range of hipster friendly cans, especially IPA, and an underwhelming welcome. Still 4 out of 5 stars though.

Coolest place in horsforth, ssshhh!

Nice friendly atmosphere, great beers and snacks - dog friendly too. Result!

Great place. Loads of choice and a really unique feel. Great atmosphere.

Great little bar with friendly staff. Of course the star of the show is the beer, of which there is loads to choose from. If you’re into your craft beer then this is the joint for you. There’s a dartboard too 👌🏼

Great little beer shop and micro bar with a great selection of beer and knowledgeable staff.

Decent choice and friendly staff!

Bloody fantastic pub! Good beer, good music and fantastic staff. Dogs welcome, good selection of pies and snacks and regular quiz and live music nights 😀

A great little spot with an excellent selection of Craft Beer that's always changing. There's plenty of space to sit, there's a dart board and they do take out beer. Seriously, what more could you ask for?

Great beer selection to drink in or takeaway and they have a dart board!

Good selection of craft beers on keg and large selection of cans and bottled beer in a relaxed atmosphere
