"Husband and wife team Clarence and Donnica Boston are credited for bringing the first Black-owned brewery to Georgia with this East Atlanta Village location (their second is in East Lake). The brewery is combined with an oyster bar, giving patrons the unmatchable experience of slurping down great craft beer and a variety of oysters simultaneously. Try out their Collardfeller oysters, a Southern twist on the traditional Rockefeller with smoked turkey and collard greens or just grab a Rolling Dank IPA, sit at the long cafeteria style tables, and enjoy the party tunes thumping from the speakers. But don’t let the loud music fool you, Hippin’ Hops keeps the vibe chill and relaxed with soft lit neon lights and cornhole outside. " - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
