The editorial take
North Park Beer Company's Bankers Hill taproom is a beer-first destination, pouring 24 taps of mostly house-brewed beers, including a strong lineup of hazy IPAs. With an award-winning reputation and a chill indoor-outdoor space, it's a neighborhood spot that takes its suds seriously. Non-alcoholic options like NA beer and kombucha broaden the appeal, though the beer clearly leads.
- What should I order?
- Start with the TDH Art is Hard: Gold Label, a triple dry-hopped hazy IPA, or the City of the Future, a TDH hazy double IPA. For a crisper take, Live Your West Life, a DDH West Coast IPA, delivers classic bitterness.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Craft beer enthusiasts, especially hop heads seeking hazy and West Coast IPAs, will find a deep tap list. The dog-friendly patio and NA options also make it welcoming for groups with varied preferences.
- When should I go?
- Evenings on the patio offer a chill vibe, ideal for enjoying a flight of house beers. Weekday afternoons may be quieter for a more relaxed visit.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pricing is not documented, but given the brewery's neighborhood taproom model, expect standard craft beer prices.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
