Our story begins with a bet amongst friends, could you explore 1001 beers in a year? Three beers a day, seems reasonable enough. It was along the way to the completion of this wager that founders Jim MacDonald and Rob Pingitore crossed paths, sparking the idea of Bar Hop as you enjoy it today! 

Circa 2012 and one of the first on the now booming craft beer scene, Bar Hop is the destination that friends tell friends about, where you can enjoy high quality beverages with a mouthwatering food menu that meets its match in a cozy, casual setting! 

Our focus is on curating a slice of heaven for beer geeks and new explorers alike, through our weekly rotating list of local Ontario craft beers and ciders. 

Our beer and cider program is carefully curated based on what is fresh, seasonal and what we’ve got pouring at the time. Our expansive tap list often includes unique one-off or artisanal brews that are hard to find anywhere else. Our unique bottle selection is sure to impress even the most particular beer connoisseur! And if beer or cider are not your thing, we invite you to indulge in our handcrafted cocktails, natural wines or our top shelf American whiskey, bourbon, tequila, scotch and other spirits.

Proudly offering 2 locations in downtown Toronto, Bar Hop has a little something special for everyone.  Whether you are new to the craft beer scene or consider yourself a veteran, we promise the perfect complement of selection for drinkers of all tastes. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you pick the perfect pour if you have trouble deciding!

We look forward to seeing you soon!
