Hopleaf

Hopleaf's expansion didn't just double the beer bar/restaurant's square footage: It added sunlight (via huge windows), new lunch hours, dinerish elements (like chrome stools) and, in theory anyway, the opportunity to drink here without getting jostled by somebody else in the throng. But while the new room definitely has a fresh shine on it, the soul of Hopleaf—epic beer list, addictive mussels, cranky bartenders—hasn't changed one bit.
