Is Proper Hop Taphouse the Right Fit for Your Event?

Proper Hop Taphouse is a great fit for guests who are looking for a relaxed, elevated bar setting with clear expectations around space, service, and beverage structure.

Our events work especially well for groups who:

  • Want a polished but comfortable atmosphere

  • Appreciate clear pricing and upfront policies

  • Plan to gather over great drinks in a thoughtfully designed space

  • Are comfortable choosing between a hosted bar or individual guest tabs

  • Value smooth service and a well-run event experience

If you’re looking for a highly flexible venue with custom décor builds, open-ended timelines, or full-scale event production, we may not be the best match — but if you want a straightforward, well-organized event with excellent drinks and service, we’re likely a great fit.

If this sounds aligned with what you’re planning, we’d love to connect.
