Downtown Leesburg offers unique shopping and many dining options.
Beer lovers will rejoice at Delirium Café USA located on the corner of N.
King Street and Loudoun Street N.W. right in the center of town. With
over 400 varieties of beer available, you’ll recognize your favorite suds
from Belgium and beyond. In addition to beer, Delirium Café USA has
upscale pub food with locally sourced ingredients.
Wine lovers need only to walk a block from Delirium to find
themselves at The Wine Kitchen where many local, national and
international wines are available to enjoy. Their seasonal bistro
menu uses organic ingredients from local farmers. Wine flights and
shared plates are encouraged. We highly recommend the fried green
tomatoes and the burrata.
