Fodor's Expert Review Hopleaf
Far North and Far Northwest Sides
Fodor's Choice
An anchor in the Andersonville corridor, Hopleaf continues the tradition of the classic Chicago bar hospitable to conversation (there's not a TV in sight). The lengthy beer menu emphasizes Belgian varieties and regional microbrews, and the Belgian fare served here far surpasses typical bar food. Don't miss the ale-steamed mussels and delectable skinny fries with aioli on the side.
