Hops & Spirits is a beer bar in the centre of Hamm. Ten taps carry a changing selection, mostly craft beer, and there is wine, coffee, cocktails and bar food alongside it. Vegan dishes are on the menu.
It is not a gay bar and does not present itself as one. What puts it in this guide is the open queer Stammtisch that meets here once a month. It is for adults who are queer or feel close to the community, entry is free, and nobody has to sign up beforehand. A local association started the group and the city supports it.
The rest of the programme is what a small city bar does. DJ nights, live music, Bundesliga on the screens.
