Longtime bartender Fred Gilmour IV, became part-owner and operator of this popular neighborhood dive bar in January 2018 and renamed it back to the previous “Hoops”.

Fred has a big vision for this popular neighborhood bar and quickly started to make changes in many aspects of the bar. When you walk into the newly remodeled bar, there are multiple things that will catch your eye. It might be the glass doors that allow light into the building during the day. The popular fireplace is still located in the middle of the room. But, if you look, you will see the new beautiful blue rocks that will make sitting by the fireplace a cozy nostalgic afternoon with friends.

The showpiece of this popular Yakima bar and grill is the LED dance floor and the patio improvements. Hoops now has a 3,800-square-foot terraced patio that can host up to 200 people. The large outdoor stage features a trussing system for sound and lighting of the live music events Fred is planning.
