    The Regulars Report

    Rose Barnes on Hopleaf

    “I think that a lot of bars have this processed feel, [but] Hopleaf seems natural and welcoming and just very homey-like. You can always go back there and feel welcomed and really comfortable there…. The first time I went, I remember there were so many selections and I didn’t really know a lot of them. [So] I just talked about it with my server…they seemed really accommodating and knowledgeable about their beer selection.”
