Hopsters

Tucked away on St Nicholas Street in The Saints, Hopsters is the best bottleshop and micro bar in Suffolk. Here, you can pick from beers on tap or hundreds in the fridges, plus spirits, wines, and soft drinks—then decide whether to drink in or take it home.

A favourite among craft beer lovers, spirits enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a proper selection, this place offers a welcoming atmosphere where the staff are as knowledgeable as they are friendly. The summer beer garden is the perfect spot to enjoy your latest discovery, and the ever-changing selection means there’s always something new to try.

Unlike those pubs where the beer choice is whatever’s left in the cellar, Hopsters treats its selection like a library of liquid gold. The staff know their hops, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the only thing more impressive than the range is the passion behind it.

Whether you’re here to find your new favourite brew, stock up for a party, or just enjoy a pint in good company, this is a place that takes its beer seriously—without ever taking itself too seriously.

Local Tip: Ask the staff for a recommendation. They’ll help you find a beer you didn’t know you needed.
