Gibson’s Bar & Steakhouse (Chicago)

Gibson’s Bar & Steakhouse on Rush Street is the quintessential Chicago steakhouse — a boisterous, old-school institution that has been the gathering place of Chicago’s power brokers, celebrities, and sports stars since 1989. The wine cellar holds an extraordinary collection with a champagne list spanning major houses by the bottle and glass, and the convivial atmosphere of the dining room makes it one of the most fun places in the city to pop a bottle of Champagne. A Chicago institution as essential to the city as the deep dish pizza, and far more champagne-friendly.
