HopGoblin is a bar at 27 Boundary Street in Greymouth, on the West Coast of the South Island, with a 4.9 rating from 10 Google reviews.
Any good bar stands or falls on how it keeps and pours its beer: clean lines, a well-kept cellar and staff who can talk you through the taps. In a town with Greymouth's brewing history, it pays to ask what is fresh on tap rather than defaulting to the usual. Regulars tend to know that early-week evenings are the quiet ones, and that the best recommendations come from the person pouring. If the staff will happily hand you something you have not tried before, that is the surest sign of a bar worth returning to.
On Boundary Street in Greymouth, HopGoblin seems to have found its audience among West Coast drinkers.
