About this business

If you don't know your Farmhouse from your Trappist or your Abbey-style ales, or perhaps, more importantly, if you do, then Hopleaf should be your next destination for a goblet or two. In addition to an extensive list of Belgian beers available on tap (over 15) or by the bottle (over 100), this tavern also features beers from all over North America and Europe. If beer isn't your thing (gasp!) then check out the wine list. Hopleaf features a number of wines available by the glass or bottle. Of course, with all this drinking y... read more

good food and beer – have been going to hop leaf for a number of years - their menu is really good and you can't beat their beer selection. as it's become more popular and crowded, seems the staff and bartenders aren't as helpful and friendly anymore though. maybe i just got them on a bad day last week. still recommend though!

Favorite Bar in Chicago – I was first introduced to the Hopleaf in 2006 and it has been my favorite Chicago bar ever since. The beer selection is perhaps the best in the city and you wont find a single television in the entire place. The focus here is the beer, but the staff is not snobby in the least. They are happy to recommend beers and will even give you samples of the draft beers if you ask nicely. I especially like the Kwak (and not just because of the fancy glass it comes in). Additionally, this bar holds some great e... read more

The Most Terrible Bar Ever – This place is horrible. Don't go here. Don't finish this review, just listen to me and don't go here. ......... . . . . . . . . . .Good. I'm hoping this review keeps the flakes and loser hipsters away. But for those who love everything about beer, I'll let you in on a little secret. GO HERE. This place is by far the most awesome beer bar in the good ol' US of A. They have stuff on tap that most bars don't even know exists. A testament to this place: I went to a bar in LA that is supposed to have ... read more

Wonderful Atmosphere, Exquisiste Food and Incredible Alcohol Selection – Don't be turned off by the loud and crowded bar atmosphere in front, because the upstairs & rear area are perfect. Every meal I have had there has been supurb. The mussells for one in a spicey cocoanut are $10 and enough to feed two, and they are only an appetizer. The York Creek Cabernet mix is wonderful but my the wide array of obscure beers are also great. Service is also good. They are often stressed because it is constantly busy but we were seated ... read more

Great beer selection! The beer selection here is truly world-class. I've had some great food here and some really not good food (most notably a gross scotch egg)--I think it's a little hit or miss although most people will say it's good. Definitely worth going for the beer selection alone and the mussels are also excellent.

Beer! This place has (or had--haven't been there for four years. . .ahhh, Chicago, I miss you) the largest selection of beers I've ever seen. Everything from the conventional to the bizarre. Laid back atmosphere, decent food. If you're in the Chicago and you like the beer, you owe it to yourself (and to the beer gods) to visit.

Poser Bar & Pretentious Staff – Been to this Bar/Resturant a few times just becuse it is close. The service is slow, the doorman has a napolian complex, and it is overall UNPLEASANT and uncomfortable. Floors are dirty, dining room is overpacked and someone will most bump into you during your visit. Food menu sound good, but don't exspect much when it gets to your mouth (unless you had a strong beer). Staff is pretentious and RUDE. There is a great beer selection, if you dont mind stale beer and moldy tap lines. if you are lo... read more

You can't beat their beer selection with a stick!! – Yes it's crowded all the time, so be prepared to either wait to be seated in the dining area, or challenge other bar-goers out for one of the few coveted tables in the front by the bar! Also challenging is actually finding one of the full drink menus, but once you do -- WOW. You could sit there just looking through it all night! My boyfriend discovered this place last year, as we were new to the Chicago scene, and as self-proclaimed novice beer conoisseurs, we were very ex... read more

Best frites, Belgian beer selection, Solid mussels, best European pub grub – Just got back from yet another visit to the Hopleaf. Seriously, we love this place. Tiff and I are thinking about renting the upstairs room for our wedding reception. First off, you have to have a beer, preferably something Belgian, and something that comes in a cool looking glass (find the one with its own holder). Then, you have to order something that comes with frites, or else you'll be sorry. The mussels (white wine) would be a safe bet. Coming... read more
