Hop Leaf is located on one of the main strips of Andersonville. We walked in and the ID checked said he needed to see our IDs and then said "Oh, actually just yours," doing my companion dirty. But he asked he we'd been he before and said how there is two bars and a patio. We stayed inside and had a helpful bartenders with a nice mustache. I asked about a beer and he gave me a sample. The one was somewhat dark, both were "Belgium" memorabilia and posters. While the bar has 20 Belgium draft beers it also has about 40 non Belgium craft beers, including two house beers made by Art History Brewing. I got the Jester King West Coast IPA; it was almost a nutty malt, very unique but not my favorite. We also had Revolution's Deth By Cherries, still Revolution's good typical bourbon barrel style with sweetness, sour, and chocolate in this beer.

Cute cozy pub. Great place to come for mussels and delicious beer! I'm totally coming back for dinner. The outdoor patio in summer is perfect for a chill night.

Great selection of Beer! Lot of German brews but they've got some other options too and the bar tender knew just what to recommend! The double bar style was neat and and had a vintage vibe to it. Really nice back patio garden for afternoon cheers !

Love the beer selections! Food was very good too. Love to go again and have a great time there. Service and ambiance were perfect for lunch or dinner. Great spot for anytime drinks.

I love Hopleaf! This is such a reliable spot. I live quite close and this is a spot I can come to for any reason, a drink, a bite to eat, a celebration, a date - you name it. All servers and bartenders are working hard and are usually quite slammed- I've never been here on a "slow" day, they're always busy, and it's easy to understand why. Their extensive selection of beverages has something unique for everyone. Food favorites include the mussels, Brussel sprouts, and CB&J sandwich. I've been here many times and will continue to come back.

As a lover of Belgian beers, there is no better bar in Chicago for beer and I definitely don't come here enough. The front of the establishment feels very much like a Belgian pub. Tables easily split between two smaller groups or a larger group with bar service and full menu without needing reservations or waiting a long time vs the rear which has an amazing patio and second floor with great two-seaters for romantic dates. Hopleaf has it all! The food is good too, plenty of Belgian-focused menu options and everything is well-executed, reasonably priced, and flavorful. But the beers are the stars here, they have a dedicated selection of taps for trappist ales, for non-trappist but Belgian beers, and local beers (generally with a European style). So great to see all these non-IPA options! What is perhaps even more impressive is how all the beers come in the appropriate glassware and the consistency of having incredible beers on tap.

Great place to spot in and grab a bite and don't worry there's plenty of seating in the back away from the bar. Support this business when you have a visitor and want a real Belgian/German experience. Feels like I've traveled just waiting on my food

Huge menu & restaurant, great aoili, and lots of global draft beers Got the fried maitake, brussel sprouts with dill yogurt, Reuben and cb&j Food is normal pub food, nothing crazy You order & pay at the bar. Service is fantastic
