Last Updated: February 2026

Our Top Pick
Hopleaf Bar
A top-tier beer bar where the burger-and-frites combo is a legit destination order.

Notable Picks

$$ Uptown Burgers
A beer-first Andersonville institution that quietly overdelivers on the burger lane—think a properly charred patty, gooey cheese, and frites that people treat as mandatory. Come hungry and order like a regular: burger + frites, then let the beer list do the rest.
Must-Try Dishes: Slagel burger, Frites, Mussels
What makes it special: A top-tier beer bar where the burger-and-frites combo is a legit destination order.
$$$ Uptown American, Burgers
A neighborhood bar-kitchen built around burgers, wings, and comfort staples that hold up for repeat visits. The best version is treating it like a reliable game-day or weeknight fallback—one signature burger plus a shareable starter, then stop there.
Must-Try Dishes: Reservoir Burger, Wings, Mac + Cheese
What makes it special: A high-volume neighborhood bar with a dependable burger-and-wings lane.

Worthy Picks

$$ Uptown Burgers
A casual neighborhood sports bar where the burger is the right call when you want something hot, filling, and paired with a drink in a low-pressure room. Come for the bar energy, order the burger with a side, and treat everything else as optional.
Must-Try Dishes: Buddy Burger, Tater tots, Wings
What makes it special: A neighborhood bar where the burger is the dependable order with drinks.
