Top Hops

Orchard Street South of Delancey has become one of the most interesting couple of blocks on the lower east side.  Just this week self proclaimed beer advocates  Top Hops have opened up a retail shop/bar at 94 Orchard.

It's a cavernous space with a open area and very bright lights as you walk in, the middle section is the bar/tasting are and in the back many, many fridges filled with every possible kid of beer imaginable.

They still seem to be working on their lighting as the beer fridges where under lit and the bar area so bright you could do an autopsy.  Given they have only been open 4 days I'm sure they are still figuring things out.  Certainly this is hands down the most serious beer place on the Lower East Side.
