Since 1992, Hopleaf has been both a mecca for craft beer fans
and a relaxed convivial neighborhood pub in Andersonville.
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, fine wines, spirits and cocktails, cider and meads—on 62 taps and in bottles—
that pair well with our seasonal food menu.
Hopleaf is an adult venue—everyone must be 21 or over with valid ID to enter. Sorry: children (including infants) will not be admitted.
