The Hoppy Monk
4141 N Mesa St · West Side, N Mesa St
Independently owned since 2010, with dozens of taps, a deep spirits list and a scratch kitchen that is not an afterthought.
Why it is on the list
- The best beer selection in the city, and staff who can actually steer you.
- A shaded patio that works most of the year.
