"If a 7-Eleven had seating, a whole bunch of beer on tap, and some personality, it would be just like Chuck’s Hop Shop. This convenience store doubles as a beer bar and makes for the perfect come-and-go hang: Chuck’s is dog-friendly, has a daily-rotating food truck parked outside, sells a bunch of crunchy snacks and gummy candies, and has around 50 different beers on tap in addition to an entire wall of refrigerated six-packs that you can also pop open and drink. Next time, host a board game night powered by beer flights here instead of at your apartment." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Chuck’s is a beautiful union of a convenience store (selling more gummy candies than we even knew existed) and the makeshift basement hangout of your friend who used to be in a band and never left your hometown. That means there are a lot of ways to do Chuck’s Hop Shop right, and very few ways to do it wrong. Pick something on tap from the great list, or have the staff pop open a six pack from the holy grail of beer fridges that stretches across the entire back wall. Every time you open it, you can almost hear a gospel chorus." - aimee rizzo
"Austin-style taco Truck Good Morning Tacos is parking itself at the Chuck’s Hop Shop in the Central District." - Harry Cheadle
"Chuck’s Hop Shop is the ultimate come-and-go hangout that’s a cross between a 7-Eleven and your friend’s makeshift garage lounge. It’s a convenience store that has a great selection of beer on tap and long tables (inside and outside) to seat everyone you know. Check out the daily-rotating food truck outside, or grab a sack of kettle chips, some gummy worms, and a pint of Full Tilt ice cream to go with some beer. If you choose something from the refrigerator case, the staff will open the bottles or cans for you to drink in-house—so all you have to worry about is which board game to play." - aimee rizzo
"If you find convenience stores enjoyable, consider Chuck’s Hop Shop the Disneyland of bodegas. It’s like your friend’s makeshift garage hangout that also has a lot of gummy candies and chips available for sale. Choose a beer on-tap or grab a six-pack from the back refrigerator case, and then drink until you’re in the mood to grab a meal from whatever food truck is parked out front." - aimee rizzo, lidiya belete
