While they are known as a legendary #chicago 🍺 🍻 beer bar, they are equally know for their Belgian style Mussels and Frites, which you’ll quickly see is the main thing they feature on their menu. The best part besides dipping the frites into Aioli is to dip the bread into the mussels broth Got an appetizer this time and it was delicious. Fried Maitake mushrooms 🍄 that are deliciously beer battered with their House Pale Ale #beer #iconic #bars #mussels ### eswtang — 4.7/5 · Jul 27, 2023 For those that are into beer, Hopleaf is consistently in the top 10 bars in the US and for good reason. While they have large selection of beers including some of the best Belgian drafts, they don’t just serve anything. I got a Hefeiweizen because it’s summer and I enjoy that style. When you’re not eating, you can just come in and enjoy a delicious brew at the bar. #beer #iconic #bars ### follicle — 5.0/5 · Mar 17, 2025 I love this place! It is so unique and European, a cozy oasis in the city. The beer selection is amazing, especially the Belgian options. The food is also top notch; the mussels and the frites are must-haves. The vegetarian options are super tasty too! ### brianallee — 5.0/5 · May 6, 2023 While Hopleaf is renowned for their beer selection, its worth a trip to #Chicago Andersonville just for their #Belgium style #mussels. 🦪 Mussels for 2 for $25 you get this pot of mussels with hearty bread that you def want to sop up the broth. I like drppping pieces into the pot, let them soak up the deliciousness, then eat a bite with each mussel. Comes with #frites & aioli 🥗 Pear & goat cheese salad was tasty but smaller than expected for $13. Fantastic service, laid back atmosphere. ### eswtang — 5.0/5 · May 15, 2023 Hopleaf! That is the word! If you have not been please make your way over to this Andersonville #Chicago gem which consistently is named as one of the top beer bars in America . Not only is the beer selection one of the best in the city, it is one of the few places where the food excels if not even surpasses the beer. The mussels and frites are the main attraction with a delicious broth , hearty mussels and delicious frites and aoli. #beer #mussels #frites ### mon_amie_brie — 5.0/5 · Aug 5, 2025 Great outdoor patio to sit on and enjoy dinner with one of dozens of beer options. ### duke — 5.0/5 · Dec 14, 2025 Hopped into @thehopleaf for a St Bernardus Christmas ale and a sip of @meercoll ‘s Abt 12 Nitro yesterday of 12/12 Abt Day. They then served up alllllllll the frites, while @gmomduke dined on mussels in white wine, C1 had a brisket Ruben and I got the CB&J -cashew butter, fig jam and raclette cheese grilled in sourdough. Perfect damn it’s cold Chicago fare. 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 #eatneareathere @chicagochefscook #chicagogram #chicagofoodie ### follicle — 5.0/5 · Jan 3, 2025 This was maybe my 10th time here, and every time I come it is great. There is always a rotating selection of authentic imported, Belgian beers, and the food selection includes delicious fries, as well as healthy vegetarian options. The front bar is cozy in the winter and the patio out back is Amazing in the summer. I still haven’t made it upstairs, but the time will come. ### follicle — 5.0/5 · Aug 5, 2025 This is one of the best beer places in the city. There are tons of rotating beers, and lots of them Belgian. The food is also very good, with some vegetarian and vegan options. It’s cozy to sit inside, but the back patio is the best place to be. ### follicle — 5.0/5 · Jan 26, 2026 This place is still amazing. Came here on a very cold Sunday evening and had a good selection of places to sit. Had the amazing burger and a few delicious beers.
