What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives featured Hopleaf Bar in the 'Belly Up' episode (aired 2012-06-25), where Guy Fieri sampled the bar's Belgian-inspired mussels and frites alongside its extensive craft beer selection. The tavern has operated on North Clark Street in Chicago since 1992, built around a self-described mission of promoting better beers, wines and spirits. According to the restaurant's own website, hopleaf.com, checked live on 2026-09-08, the site displayed a copyright date of 2026 along with current lunch and dinner menus, a draft and bottled beer list, an online ordering option, and listings for both upcoming and past events. The site's continued operation and current-dated content indicate Hopleaf Bar remains active at its longtime Clark Street address.
