Hopsmith Tavern

The vibe is kinda cool, although it doesn't fit in with the local area. I had fun there, but I really struggled to find out what their theme was. It turns out that it was supposed to be an Australian theme.It was a cool tavern like environment with very friendly staff. They had about 30 beers on tap, including several Chicago labels and other Midwestern labels, It's a very clean and laid back place. I'd go back there any time for a cold brew. As of August 2023, they didn't have food.

Not sure where I want to start with this place - the Bartender was great, the ambiance was great, the gumbo was better than average, the prices were fair, music was crowd-appropriate! This will be a regular stop on visits to Chicago for sure!

Service was friendly. Food and drinks were good. We had the Bbq Bacon burger with fries and the steak sliders, both solid choices. The chairs and table situation was weird though. Chairs way too short for the tables. Ask for a booth

Every time I come in here, bartender Joe goes above and beyond. There's not even a spicy margarita on the menu but he went out of his way to whip up the most delicious drink ever. I absolutely would recommend this place to anyone. Service is always friendly and food is amazing

Completely loved our time at Hopsmith. We didn't plan on coming but selected by random a bar to walk into on division street and this turned out to be super fun!The bar was easy to snag a spot and the bartender was nice and attentive. We ordered a few different mixed cocktails and beers and later on some chicken strips - super good by my account. Well any food late at night is good.The dance floor upstairs was super fun and the crowd was very friendly. Would for sure recommend to friends looking for a fun bar to go out to while in Chicago!

-great chicken sliders and sandwiches. -minus one star, they didn't give us any onion straws with our carry out order. Happened to get a gal on her first night and we were her very first order, so some mercy here. I would have claimed an order later but there wasn't a next time before we left town. --short walk from Claridge House, good place....

Been a massive fan of Hopsmith for what feels like a lifetime now, but it's always been 5 stars and continues to be. While some businesses get comfortable and can let their performance decline or let their appearance slip, Hopsmith is continually improving their menu, drinks, service, offerings, promotions, special events, appearance, and more. Just recently did they undergo a great renovation which has brought incredible new vibes into the place and freshened up their aesthetic. The food is as good as ever as well. They are constantly adding new fun food specials to their menu - they're always 10/10 too. I love you, Hop.

My company held the holiday party here on the second floor bar. It was so much fun! Bartenders were nice and attentive. The music was great and they even had karaoke. Not sure if that is a regular thing, tho!For food, we had some light bites. Tried some sliders, tater tots, and mozzarella sticks. They were good...Typical bar food. If you are looking to have a fun night, you should give this bar a try!

Joe Kennedy and Diego Ramirez are the backbone of this operation. Not only do they put their blood, sweat, and tears into their work, but their love as well. Great people and even better atmosphere, i've been to every bar in the Gold Coast and they are the best hands-down they deserve a raise, and the biggest tips

Horrible. Why? We couldn't decide who was the last person to take the last shot so a drink was thrown out my hand. More than 4 groups here for a conference and this is how the night ends.
