One of Belgium’s best exports has found its first home in the United States in Leesburg, Virginia. The original Delirium Cafe, located in Brussels, Belgium, is famous for the more than 2,000 beers it offers patrons. It even holds the Guinness World Record for the most beers offered. Delirium Cafe USA has an impressive offering itself. The bar has over 200 beers available on its bottle list and 26 drafts that rotate every two weeks. Delirium Cafe USA also offers a lunch and dinner menu of pub fare. To share, there are classics like bar pretzels and cheese & meat plates – and of course french fries, or frites as the Belgians would say. At lunch there are several sandwich options, such as chicken & bacon, brats, and pork belly. For dinner entrees, there’s everything from mussel pots to fried chicken and waffles. Located in the heart of old Leesburg, the atmosphere inside is cozy, and when the weather is nice, you can sit outside on the patio and people-watch.
