About Us

Since 1992, Hopleaf has been a both a mecca for craft beer fans and a relaxed convivial neighborhood pub in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. For over 15 years, Hopleaf has also offered thoughtfully sourced, in-house prepped, chef-inspired dining. Lacking screened distractions, games, or live entertainment, Hopleaf is for drinking, eating and talking with friends, new and old. We offer a carefully selected, ever-changing menu of better beers—on 68 taps and in bottles— fine wines, spirits and cocktails, cider and meads that pair well with our seasonal food menu. We’ve always drawn inspiration from the beer and food culture of Belgium—you’ll see this reflected in the extensive collection of enameled and printed brewery advertising seen throughout the rooms.
