The Hoptimist Abergele

Beer, gin and atmosphere was amazing and we were loving it,however one of the bar maids was a little short with my partner to do with certain things. This could have been completely innocent but we though it was a little unwelcoming and left after a couple of drinks.

Fab place, friendly staff and great value beers

Absolutely fantastic, easily my favourite micropub in the UK. The barman is brilliant, excellent customer service, really helpful. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic drink. My recommendations are the Kia Kaha, D.H.B and the Blorenge, but in all honesty it's all going to be amazing.

Brilliant Pub, nice friendly atmosphere Good Real Ales

Brilliant place friendly staff really good ales you can try b4 you buy will be going back on a regular basis

Always have a wonderful time here. Best place in town. Definitely one of my favourite places to visit. Staff always friendly and some cracking beers on.

I've been to a lot of craft beer bars around the UK, Europe and beyond, of course its not the best but for its location and what they're trying to do its a 5* place.

Straddled by 2 old classic pubs opposite, The Harp & The George & Dragon, they've taken the bold step of introducing independent breweries to an area that really only has guest cask at best.

Really good value and a nice range from lager to cask to IPAs and ciders. Local and community brewers on board so they haven't gone down the route of stocking £12 cans shipped from around the country and sold at a premium and pricing locals out, they've started small and offer Tetleys and Lagers you'll find in most pubs.

I didn't sample their Gin but they had an impressive selection.

I wish them all the best, hope it catches on and leads to more independents having a go at something new.

Fantastic New years night.Thank you Emma and Bary.
