Belgian-focused eats and extensive beer selection await
"The term “gastropub” gets thrown around a lot, but for us, Hopleaf embodies its true meaning. This place has an exceptional beer selection and a food menu that goes above and beyond what you would eat in an average bar. The delicious cashew butter and fig jam sandwich takes a PB&J and makes it awesome, and you’ll wonder where it’s been all your life." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"A list of Andersonville’s finest without mention of the Hopleaf would be considered heresy. The beer snob’s haven draws drinkers from all over the city to sample the expansive selection of Belgian brews and craft ales. The draft taps change out frequently, but the delicious dinner menu has stood the test of time. You can’t go wrong with the Steak Frites or the CB & J (Cashew Butter and Fig Jam) sandwich. If you’re not much of a drinker, the signage alone will satiate the palette of any design connoisseur. Pro tip: Leave the kids at home because they won’t let them in. And show up early unless you’re prepared to wait. The seats fill up quick on the weekend." - Rusty Design Co.
"Hopleaf in Andersonville has plenty to love—they have over 60 beers on tap and lots of delicious dishes to pair with them, like mac and cheese, mussels with crusty bread, and an excellent cashew butter and fig jam sandwich. And our favorite place to enjoy all of that is their backyard beer garden. It’s secluded, which provides a nice break from the parade of strollers rolling down Clark, and has a massive umbrella to keep you safe if you forgot to apply some SPF." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Hopleaf has made Andersonville a destination with good Belgian-style pub food and great beer — and no TVs. Owner Michael Roper offers a craft beer selection great enough to satisfy any beer nerd, but the interiors are comfortable enough to make any patron happy." - Ashok Selvam
"Hopleaf in Andersonville has an exceptional beer selection, and the food menu (with dishes like mac and cheese, mussels, and a delicious cashew butter and fig jam sandwich) goes above and beyond what you’d find in an average bar. There’s also a large, secluded beer garden out back, which provides a nice break from the parade of strollers rolling down Clark Street." - adrian kane, john ringor
