About Hop House
Hop House is a grassroots music venue in Bangor, Bangor with a standing capacity of approximately 60. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
Hop House is a craft-beer bar at 44 High Street in Bangor, County Down — home to Northern Ireland's largest beer selection, with up to 100 options and around two dozen craft lines on at any time, many from local producers. It was named NI Live Music Venue of the Year 2022, hosting open-mic nights and regular live-music events in a welcoming, community-minded room of roughly 60 capacity. A large rear beer garden seats about 80 (partially covered and heated) with a cosy 20-seat snug and a wood-fired pizza oven at weekends. The venue runs a house PA with mics and welcomes both originals and covers.
