Absolutely amazing place. Wendy the manager handled our large party of ELEPHANT KEEPERS with grace. Her and her staff were so diligent and kind. Amazing food and drinks. Cozy atmosphere. A must visit

Being a bar, the alcoholic drinks were OK. The food was substandard. The Nashville chicken I got was way overcooked almost un edible. The iced tea tasted old and looked even worse. I love the pink elephant so don't lose them, but the deciding factor with the one star is the vomit that was left outside the front door of the restaurant during a regular business day. If all I was getting were drinks, and nothing to eat, I would return, but it is just bar food at best.

US Home to the Famous Huyge Brewery from Belgium. The only franchise is America with their most renowned lager-Delerium Tremense. As soon as we found out Delerium Cafe existed, we made the (slightly less than) hour-long drive from home (Woodbridge) to sample one (or more) of the 200 worldwide beers this small cafe has on tap. It was worth the trip! It was a cold and very windy Saturday at about 4:00 so we went inside rather than eating in the enclosed, uncovered patio which looked like it could seat 10 or so small parties. The 40-foot long bar was completely full as were the window counters with barstools. The dining room we were in was off the kitchen (far enough for comfort) with 5 tables/booths for parties of 2-6. There may have been more dining space but it was out of sight. Our lovely and wonderful waitstaff, Abby, took great care of us for the next few hours. The food was satisfactory, although they will probably improve when they can find a kitchen manager (lost during the Covid closure.) We were bemused when Abby, leaving the kitchen turned around to say to those doing the cooking "the Portobello IS the mushroom [dish]) The lack of a kitchen manager also meant we were unable to try our first choices off the menu, but the Delirium burger and Brisket Sandwich were both fine. With our generously-sized sandwiches preceded by the delightful Deviled Eggs garnished with bacon, we had plenty to eat, but even so we shared a very authentic and tasty "homemade " slice of Apple Pie. Not too sweet, and just the right amount of cinnamon, my partner (the pie-baker of the family) pronounced it Perfect! Now to the important part-the beer. The draft beer was available in 2, 4, and 8-10 oz glasses. There is a 6-flight of 1 oz "tastes" so I tried everything on the menu that day, 21 altogether. My favorite was the Sour from (I think) local brewery Coyote, but there were several local (and not very) breweries represented on the menu. All were pretty good, although YMMV. I usually prefer porters and other dark, thick beers if that gives you an indication. If it doesn't, go do a flight of your own. You won't be disappointed.

The Delirium Cafe is a downtown historic Leesburg staple. In addition to a huge selection of beer, they have wine, cider, and cocktails.... including some really delicious blackberry mules. The food is great and they have a nice outdoor space for warmer weather.
Out of all the places that were slammed packed for NYE, this place wasn't. My wife and I and our friends stopped here after going to a few other places. They had more than enough seating for everyone, kitchen was still open, so they had had all the right ingredients going for them.They have good drink menu for whatever taste you have whether it's a beer, liqueur, or wine and a good food menu that not packed with junk like other restaurants do. They make good burgers.That have a little food challenge called Smash the Quad of what I think it was called. Eat a quad burger in four bite for a free one. I was the first to try it and do it so that was exciting lol. We had great waitresses that night and we will be dropping in next time we are up there for that free burger!

Came for Sunday brunch, ordered a mediocre chicken sandwich and very bad eggs Benedict. Wanted to order chicken and waffles but they had no waffles. They had no regular coffee, only decaf so I ordered hot chocolate which was already cool when it was given to me. The hollandaise sauce was the worst I've ever had, tasted like salty egg yolks. Potatoes were undercooked and under seasoned. The bill was $41 before tip for 2 brunches and 2 non alcoholic drinks but tasted like it should be $15 from somewhere like IHOP

We came by for my friends birthday. We immediately were given a larger table for my 8 friends and me. Our server Wendy was excellent. Wendy had many good suggestions for beers for all my friends different tastes. The food was delicious. We all enjoyed everything we ordered. Kudos to the chef!!!! We will all definitely be coming back!!!!

Fun spot with funky decor. Great service (Abby). Hilariously overpriced food, tiny portions, low quality, no flavor. I ordered the Maryland crab (yeah right) fritters at $17. Each was one level tablespoon of a mystery mixture that had no crabmeat. The skillet in which they were served was about 500° including the lemon wedge (I burned myself on the lemon; what chef or cook puts the garnish in the oven with the food?). Bland. So $5.66 each for a mouthful of crud. Ordered the Delirium burger, also $17. A joke. Completely unflavored puck of cold ground meat. There was a quarter-sized piece of tomato that was the stem end smashed into one side of the burger under the bun. The fries were fantastic! And Heinz ketchup. So I didn't starve. What a waste of a great location and a stellar server.

Great food, great beer, great atmosphere and customer service. Fun place to hang out, do happy hour and then stay for dinner.

This was an absolute treat to have in the US, let alone the beautiful historic Leesburg downtown area.The service was wonderful, the food was so perfect- we had bacon Brussels with a balsamic glaze that was INCREDIBLE, spicy tots and crab cakes, the kids split a burger and pretzel (both amazing) and of COURSE the delirium beer was a hit, it's always been a favorite!!This is not the best menu for small kids but I think they want it that way, my kids (10ish) did fine with what was offered though.Incredible, eclectic art and history of the beer throughout, I loved every bite and every glance.

Didn't love! Service was mid. Food was mid. Aioli was wildly thick! Hot chicken sandwich tasted like a lot of chile powder rather than a Nashville hot flavor. Might be a cool place to have a cold tap beer at the bar but will definitely not go back for the food. A party of 7 and no one LOVED their meal.

One of their entrees is the Shrimp and Grits, for $26.00. It tasted good but a tiny amount of food for the money. I had to go eat a second meal an hour later. They should double the amount of grits if they are going to call it an entree.

It is a treat having such a great Belgian beer purveyor in Leesburg. This is the second Delirium Cafe, that I have been to (also went to the one in Brussels) and their beer selection is unparalleled. Chicken sandwich is also great and the fries are always hot.

We've been coming here often for a couple of years. Last Thurday night we revisited, and discovered they have a new menu brought by a new head chef. And we found that the cuisine has improved from damned good to SUPERB! I'm a mussels fan, and the choice of 5 different concoctions is excellent. Also, the beet salad is fine, lots of interesting flavors and textures. Mollie was our server, and she has a great style, attention to detail, and sense of humor. We'll keep coming back, albeit even more often!

Wondering around the area, I found this great bar! I'm a sour/fruit beer kinda girl and usually places have 1 maybe 2 beers I like. Well Delirium had at least 4! I dropped in on a Monday midday and worked remotely at the bar for about an hour and then spent another hour hanging out and chatting with the most friendly bartender Brian. He's also great at figuring out which beers you'll like if you just tell him your style. I'll have to go back to try the hot tots and will definitely make this a regular stop anytime I'm near Leesburg!
