Hoptinger Bier Garden & Sausage House

Hoptinger in the 5 Points / Riverside area of Jacksonville is a tantalizing blend of German bier garden tradition and modern American hospitality. You'll walk into a multi-level venue built around craft beer, sausages, shareable bites, rooftop chill, and enough entertainment to keep the night alive. The first floor functions as a lively gastropub — think heavy wood, metal accents, televisions showing sports, and a menu that leans hearty: gourmet sausages, burgers, bar snacks, vegetarian/vegan options, pretzel sticks, and more. Their menu is playful — “Burger Roulette,” “Brats in a Blanket,” poutine, chorizo mac, and even veggie flatbreads. Climb upward or take the stairs to the rooftop “garten” — an airy terrace dotted with lounge seating, games (billiards, foosball, shuffleboard), and sweeping views of the 5 Points neighborhood. The rooftop bar is more than beer — they keep a full liquor bar for cocktails and creative mixed drinks. During the week, you’ll find themed nights: Trivia Night (Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in 5 Points), rotating DJs and live music on weekends, and events upstairs and on the rooftop. In short, Hoptinger balances casual comfort and neighborhood hangout energy with a bit of flair. It doesn’t try to be stuffy — it’s warm, spirited, and crowd-friendly. Whether you’re here for a cold beer flight, a sausage & friends, rooftop breezes, or a game night, Hoptinger gives you multiple layers of experience under one roof (and sky).
