This restaurant is getting too popular. It’s no wonder because it’s great in every respect. The best feature is that you can have a conversation without music blasting, a rare thing indeed in Chicago.

Gold Coast / Streeterville

About the restaurant

Hopsmith Tavern is where game day, happy hour, and late nights collide. Located in Chicago’s Gold Coast, we’re pouring 30 rotating taps, serving scratch-made American fare, and keeping the party going long after the final whistle.

If it’s on TV, we’ve got it—college rivalries, pro sports, or local matchups. Our two-story space blends modern design with eclectic charm, featuring a fireplace, bold décor, and a retractable second-floor roof. With street-level open windows and TVs everywhere, you won’t miss a play.

But let’s talk food. From Chimichurri Steak Sliders to Nashville Hot Chicken Dip, dry-aged smash burgers, and signature flatbreads, our menu hits the spot whether it’s kickoff or last call.

The MSU Spartans call us home, but everyone’s welcome. Whether it’s post-work drinks, burgers with friends, or a last round before sunrise, Hopsmith keeps the drinks flowing and the energy alive.

Finding a place with both great food & drinks for friends visiting from out of state. From the moment we walked until we left, we were impressed with all aspects of Big Star West. Atmosphere was conducive to catching up while enjoying several types of tacos & a pitcher or two of margaritas. Staff kept us fed & served, while giving excellent service. Looking forward to returning for outdoor seating once the weather warms up!
