One of the best beer bars in the city (it is our shining beacon of Belgian brews), Hopleaf is also a real gourmet presence in the city. Go to drink or eat but always be prepared for excellence.
I have only been to Hopleaf once, but I definitely plan on going many more times. Their food is a bit heavy for my taste, but their beer list is by far my favorite in the city, plus they ahve a great patio that isn't very difficult to find a spot at.
I love the cashew butter fig jam sandwich here. Hopleaf is the perfect place to go on a rainy day. You can hole up inside next to the mini fireplace and NEVER run out of beer options.
When you move to Chicago, you should get a welcome package that includes a coupon for a free beer at Hopleaf. The Andersonville bar and restaurant is one of those places that everyone should go, even if you're not impressed by the formidable list of beers from all around the world. Dishes like the duck reuben and the the cashew butter and fig jam sandwich are as venerable as the tired-and-true Chicago-style hot dog. Just make sure to stop by early—this place fills up fast.
Hopleaf has more beer options than one can even wrap their head around. The place smells kind of like an old bottle of soy sauce, which is pretty great. There's also super affordable wine on tap, making it a great place to cry.
I think it would be impossible to run out of beer choices at Hopleaf. They have more taps than most beer lovers can dream of and they seem to rotate regularly, so if you like a beer make sure to make a note of it as the menu changes frequently. Whether you're grabbing a beer inside, claiming a table for the evening or spending a summer day on the patio the ambiance here is top-notch, relaxed and approachable. The food here is also amazing, at the very least get an order of mussels and frites to wash down all those heavy beers.
Belgian beer nuts love Hopleaf. The gastropub has a massive beer menu as well as a creative dinner menu. Great service and cool ambience. Love this place!
