THE HOP STOP
The Hop Stop, located in East Nashville, is an interior renovation of an existing tenant space, conceived as a contemporary take on an English pub. The large, open bar dominates the space, creating a community atmosphere and allowing the bartenders to have a conversational experience with more patrons as they inform them of the unique qualities of each brew on tap. Competition-length dart board lanes line the back of the pub, and the experience is elevated by the custom surrounds, drink rails, and scoreboards. The stainless steel detailing in the back bar is designed for both beauty and for functionality, and the layout of the bar itself is thoughtfully composed to create a comfortable and efficient work space for the employees. The soft grey color palette creates a subtle canvas to showcase the offerings on tap, and the restored existing wood flooring and exposed roof structure give the space a warm, lived in feel.
