Several recent cold atom experiments reported implementation of artificial gauge fields in optical lattice systems, paving the way toward observation of new phases of matter. Here we study the tight-binding model on the honeycomb lattice introduced by Haldane, for lattice bosons. We analyze the ground state topology and quasiparticle properties in the Mott phase by applying bosonic dynamical mean field theory, strong-coupling perturbation theory and exact diagonalization. The phase diagram also contains two different superfluid phases. The quasiparticle dynamics, number fluctuations, and local currents are measurable in cold atom experiments.
