Hops: Restaurant & Beer Garden
Client: Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
Project Location: Cincinnati, OH
Completed: 2019
The Hops Restaurant and Craft Beer Garden is a major component of the Roo Valley exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo. The restaurant, which is located on the crest of a hill next to the gift shop and historic entry village, overlooks the Kangaroo and Little Blue Penguin exhibits over 70 feet below. The design of the restaurant focused on creating a unique dining experience for zoo visitors by incorporating expansive outdoor dining areas on a two-level deck cantilevering off of the hillside.
