The Hop Grenade

Great place to spend a few drinks at. Good appetizer size food and a great selection of local beers on tap. If you are a local and do go, you will become there newest repeat customer when you come back.

Always have great sour beers and the staff are amazing and always around to help select the perfect beer. Really good food and if what you want is not on the menu, they are fine with bringing outside food to the outside seating area. Highly recommend!!

Always great and informative staff. Beer is always on point and clean restrooms. Cool patio as well.

They do a great job of keeping high quality beers on tap here. The food: OK. I hear they are adding more options soon. I like the pretzel. The beer: excellent. I visit family in concord often and this would be right up there with some of my favorite beer bars in my hometown of San Diego. The service: Good. I also like that I can check the website at any time and see what is on tap, and how much is left.

Always fun, great beer selections from local and far breweries. Snacks are food and at night the lights outside make for a beautiful setting

Great variety of beer awesomeness! They even have a small menu for snacks, I go with the pretzels. They even let you bring food in from other restaurants around if you want!!! Great servers and all around my favorite spot in Concord to sip a refreshing beer. P.S. they have Pliny the Elder on tap frequently, darn. You'll also notice a radio booth in the back, that's where they host the Brewers Network, check it out. Keep up the great work guys!

This is our spot while my dad's recovering in the hospital. The beer is great. We're so comfortable. The food is also delicious. It's been a wonderful place to decompress during a really stressful situation. Thanks so much for the hospitality. Our new home away from home.

Julian attended me here, and he had amazing customer service. Will definitely be returning!

The Hop Grenade is a world class beer bar and has great bar bites. If you appreciate beer, you will enjoy this spot. If you are not a beer person, you can find something here you will like. Both draft and bottles, all different varieties. The atmosphere is laid back, inside and outside seating, nice servers.

Great place for beer in or beer take out. Take real care with every aspect of serving a great beer. On wall board fonts too small for my 50 year old eyes but they have tablets or an app that let you see what is on tap and how much is left in the keg! Food is ok but not great...not their fault since the location isn't kitchen equipped. Overall a must stop in Concord.

Great selection of brews on tap and bottles, they rotate the beers often and with excellent choices. They also have among food items a brisket sandwich and the brisket is from SlowHand BBQ! Awesome! The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about the brews. This is the place to go in Concord.

Fantastic selection of sour beers. The bar has friendly, open ambiance, the courtyard is super pleasant in the summer, and the staff really know their stuff. The food menu is limited but each of the items are thoughtful and well made. Great place to relax and have a pint.

Morgan's service was amazing, she was very friendly and the beer was awesome! Highly recommended!

Gotta love this place. Friendly bartenders, well kept up, an always rotating (even throughout the day) selection of beers. Offers a rewards program, the "Hop Grenade Army". You'll always know what beer is on tap at this place since they offer a live view of their beer menu and keg status on their website, so you can sit down already knowing what you wanna order.

Love this craft beer bar. A wonderful and thoughtful selection of brews, local and unique to the area. Clean taps, friendly staff and the Brewing Network studio is in the back, so you can see the show and have a brew with some grub!

Awesome food and reasonably priced! Great beer selection and cool atmosphere. I also dug the fact that there was some heavier music playing when I walked in. Moving from SoCal to the Bay Area feels like a very good fit for this old metal head.

Such a great location! The patio was clean and shaded, we could have stayed for hours! Food menu is a little light but everything was delicious. The beer selection is legit, these guys have top notch beer selections on tap, no lies.

This place is Legendary! Craft beer is important, and this place takes that responsibility very seriously. What a perfect venue to enjoy a curated selection of the craft beer industry’s finest pours and bottles! Although the space is small, it is well deigned and takes advantage of every square inch. A combination of indoor and outdoor seating nestled into a historic part of town. They have a combination of drafts and bottles/cans (you can purchase bottles/can to stay or to go), and even if you’re new to craft beer you cannot go wrong with any selection. The service staff are very knowledgeable about all of the products, make great recommendations based on your tastes, and best of all . . . they pour the beers 100% properly - with the appropriate amount of foam, in the correct glassware, at the right temperature. We ordered 8 different beers with our party, so we unintentionally tested this among a broad range of styles. Flawless! Very impressed with this place as it has been on my bucket list for many years. It definitely exceeded all expectations. Cannot wait to return again and again. Cheers!

GREAT beer selection! Good, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. You can tell they care about the quality, as the beer tastes fresh and better than any other taphouse (ah-hem Yard House?). Nice location with an outside patio.

Better tap selection than some beer gardens I've visited, exceptionally curated. It was hard to choose because the offerings were so exciting! Excellent customer service with friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff. You can ask for samples before ordering a whole pint. Details of each draft and pricing are provided on an iPad. Cans of beer are also available to take home. I don't usually like Stouts but Brooklyn Brewery's Black Ops was a treat. I also loved my pint of Alamanc's stone fruit/plum? sour ale. I didn't try the food on my first visit but it smelled wonderful. Music playlist was great. A good crowd, not too loud, very chill. Will definitely be coming back!

Excellent craft beer selection and the outdoor seating is shady and breezy. Their playlists are absolutely the best!

Literally Morgan is my favorite server ever!!! My and one of my besties come here every Friday after work and we loveeeeee the atmosphere! The beer list is always amazing and they have the sweetest staff!!! It’s my go to anytime I'm looking for a good time and chill vibez! Thank you so much to the team for all their hard work, especially through the pandemic!!

Come here every time I find myself in Concord. They have a great selection of beers with a few good foods to nosh on as the evening passes. Best thing is they get a fresh supply of Pliny the Elder every Thursday.

i’ve been coming here since it was open and it’s the best place to come and hang out . my friend and i come here after work on fridays and always have a great time .staff is amazing . morgan is the best !! we let her choose our beer for us and she picks the perfect one every time . she’s good vibes and everyone that works there is good vibes as well !! 100/10 recommend this place .

Amazing beer selection. Great patio for outdoor beer drinking. Food is good for snacking but not really for a full meal.

Amazing beer selection. Great patio for outdoor beer drinking. Food is good for snacking but not really for a full meal.

Came here for the first time on a Sunday, the patio had plenty of space and service was great. Due to circumstances out of their control their tap list was a bit short the weekend I went but they have more than enough bottled beers to choose from should you not like anything on the tap list. Service was great and the staff I interacted with was very polite and attentive. Definitely looking forward to going back and seeing what else they have to offer.

Bartender julian is incredible! Never let that one go! He made us feel so welcomed. We will be back just to see him!!

Excellent rotating selection of all types of beers including lagers, IPAs, sours, stouts. A lot of outdoor seating.

Great brews, very knowledgeable and personable staff, and such a great atmosphere on the weekends. What's not to love? Play sir flatbread pizzas which are also pretty great as well

The Hop Grenade Taproom & Bottle Shop offers an amazing craft beer selection, a fun atmosphere, and friendly service — perfect for beer lovers and casual hangouts. 🍺✨

I've been here dozens of times and have never had a bad experience. They always have a great selection of beer!

Was hoping to get a final taste of Pliny the Younger, but it was gone. They do have a great selection of beers, from Plisners to Barleywines. Lots of different breweries represented. Nice outdoor seating also.

Great beers and a cooler full of more great beers, seltzer and NA beers too! Patio in winter has the coziest seating. Movie nights during Christmas were a blast. Glad downtown Concord has this gem!!!

Absolutely lovely spot. Stopped in for a couple of beers and a bite to eat; their beer selection is impressive, their food is tasty, and the staff are friendly. 10/10 come here if you love beer and want to just hang out in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

Although I came here with a friend & I myself wasent purchasing anything at the moment, the service our server gave us as immaculate I was very impressed. I wish they had a pizza slices available on their menu it would have went perfect with the watermelon beer I shared with a friend. So far the best watermelon beer I've tasted, it wasent too sweet and it was refreshing 🍉.

Absolutely love this place. Great beers from the local area. Some very hoppy and strong IPA flavors. Friendly staff. Better bar type foods in case you're hungry. Very tasty beer!

Would be 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive. Just can't be comfortable paying $8+ for less than a pint of beer other than special occasions. However, they have some of the best beer around, new taps daily and friendly staff. I recommend it to all beer lovers who don't mind the price.

This is a great place to hang out with friends, enjoy craft beers, and watch sports. However, during my visit, a customer was trying to make betting proposals to others on a Copa America soccer game. This led to an argument that seemed to be escalating into a fight. I was surprised that no staff member intervened. I believe the customer should have been advised to stop or asked to leave.

The food was pretty good—nothing special. Our server was very friendly. The Hop Grenade IPA tasted flat—not the bright citrus flavor I was hoping for. Nice outdoor area and a dark, welcoming aesthetic inside.

Great beer, great location, HORRIBLE service. Very uninviting, I keep giving this place another chance but they are consistent with their service, horrible.
