About

Hops On Birch is a small, unpretentious beer bar tucked into downtown Flagstaff, about 80 miles south of the South Rim — the kind of place locals send out-of-towners who want a good pour without the tourist markup. The lineup rotates constantly, leaning into unusual and hard-to-find craft beers alongside a couple of ciders, and reviewers consistently point to owner-level knowledge behind the bar as the reason to come back.

What it's like inside

Expect a rustic-chic saloon feel — think exposed wood, a laid-back crowd, and live bands on select nights. There are two dart boards for anyone looking to make a night of it, and the vibe skews casual and conversational rather than loud. It's also genuinely dog-friendly, a detail multiple reviewers call out specifically since so many self-described "pet friendly" bars only mean patio seating.

Hours: Monday–Thursday 2–10 PM, Friday–Saturday noon to midnight, Sunday noon–10 PM
Price: $$, standard bar pricing
Rating: 4.6 stars from 542 Google reviews

This isn't a food destination or a South Rim day-trip stop — it's a downtown Flagstaff watering hole worth folding into an evening if you're already staying in town before or after the canyon.

We got a flight of sampler beers and a few pints after, while we played darts and the bar hosted an arts painting for patrons! Great atmosphere. Excellent service!

What a fabulous way to end our trip in Arizona - we happened upon Hops On Birch and enjoyed an evening of great beer and conversation. The owner Shep along with Eli, where knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Thanks for topping our trip off…. Highly recommend this establishment for anyone who is looking for fine craft beer!!!

Nice place, good selection of beer on tap and a tiny fridge of cans including Athletic NA beer. Our large party grabbed the big table in the middle without issue. I was looking specifically for local IPAs and I actually don't recall their being many Flagstaff beers at all ... which I guess is good if you live there and want something different!

**THE ONLY BREWERY THAT ALLOWS DOGS INSIDE AND LOVES THEM** We were visiting and were so shocked how many breweries say they’re “pet friendly” , but tell them to stay outside when it’s 45 degrees and colder. This brewery accepted us and Zoe with open arms! The beer and vibes were also great, there was a lot of children though…. Like a table of seven kids that were 7 and under.
