A primer craft beer experience with character and friendly professional service! This local brew pub/eatery should be at the top of your east central Florida list. A true destination brewery or if you’re already in Sanford it’s the “go to” spot for fine craft suds and a meal. Located in a cute bustling section of town, Wop’s does not disappoint. A varied and vast offering of craft beer brewed on site and full bar if you’re into the hard stuff. They also have a full menu so grab a delicious meal with your adult beverage. Inside seating, bar seating, and a super nice beer garden off to the side. They even have bistro street front tables available to take in the view as folks stroll the lovely downtown. The staff were real pros, friendly, and welcoming. The locals spoke very highly of their neighborhood brewery and welcomed us travelers like family. The place felt loved and it showed with its ample character. If there was a sixth star this place would deserve it!

First time here. Cozy and eclectic place with a great selection of in house brews. Staff was very fun and engaging. Nice outdoor space too that had a few things for kids. I'd definitely recommend to try if you love craft beer.

While traveling Florida we are members of Harvest Host. We came upon Wop's Hops while evading the traffic and congestion of the big cities. A downtown brewery with great food. Numerous taps of flavored brews to choose from. We got here on Thursday for there wing special. Wow. Plenty of live entertainment all adding this location.

When we were looking for a place to meet my daughter and her husband that was halfway between Winter Haven and Jacksonville, we discovered this gem! I'm always a sucker for a brewery so I was immediately drawn to it. The place is spacious inside and has a large outdoor patio that is pet friendly, which was great since we brought our pup. Started with a flight of their brews. All were very good! Ended up choosing the Paradiso, a coconut ale. Nice coconut flavor and was very refreshing! We ordered some apps that came out to us pretty quickly. We got the nachos (they are topped with cut up meatballs. Amazing!!), pretzel bites with beer cheese (nice subtle smokey flavor), brucheta (a little soggy but decent), and fried mozzarella (it was what is was). I also had the BBQ burger. The burger patty was actually their meatball shaped into a patty and seasoned. Different, but in a really delicious way! Service was quick and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive! This may become a regular meeting place for us to cut our drives in half and enjoy some good food and brews! Didn't get pics of the food. We decided to put our phones up and enjoy the moment.

Definitely loved the vibe in this place. The little bar has an energy all its own and was packed with locals when I visited. They have a very interesting beer list, with a few that jump out at you like the White Chocolate Amaretto Cream Ale and the Marco Luppolo IPA. Owner was a nice guy and I chatted it up with a few of the locals before leaving. Sanford's first microbrewery is a good one.
