The Noble Hops

The Noble Hops sits on Redfern Street in Redfern, in Sydney's lively inner south. A well-regarded craft beer bar, it's earned a strong reputation among beer lovers for its quality, ever-changing range — the kind of welcoming, characterful venue that takes its beer seriously and draws a devoted local following.

The appeal is that combination of a great craft-beer selection, a relaxed, sociable atmosphere and a convenient Redfern location, ideal for exploring something new, a catch-up over a quality drink or settling in for the evening. In an area with a growing food-and-drink scene, building this kind of following speaks to a place that genuinely knows its beer.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 500 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The beer range rotates, and opening hours, any food offering and events vary, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a relaxed drink and a browse of what's on tap, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved by Redfern's craft-beer crowd.
