Stopped in for some drinks and french fries after a gallery opening. Seemed reasonably priced and had a fantastic atmosphere on the patio. Service was quick and seamless

Hopleaf is a charming neighborhood pub with a lot of character, offering an extensive selection of beers, ciders, and wines, anchored in a Belgian theme. The knowledgeable bartenders are eager to provide samples of their unique beers on tap. The restaurant features a great atmosphere, a nice outdoor patio area that may be one of the city's best hidden retreats for a summer evening, and delicious food. The menu is smaller but well curated, making it hard to go wrong with any choice. Popular dishes include the signature mussels served with a huge portion of fries, bread and butter platter, salads, and the pork sandwich, all served with excellent fries and garlic aioli. While many visitors appreciate the wide variety of sour beers, which are not easy to find elsewhere, some wish for the fries to be more carefully prepared for better crispiness. The bar also offers some very unique pours, such as ube cider, making it a favorite spot for those seeking interesting and enjoyable meals. Many enjoy the experience of hanging out while having a really nice meal and engaging with the knowledgeable staff about the extensive beer selection.
