Pops for Champagne offers patrons singular style, unmistakable class, smooth delicious jazz, and a quiet but distinguished word of mouth reputation as
the destination for refined atmosphere minus the jacket-required stuffiness. Lights are low and sexy, gently washing dim light over tables and the bar area.
Bordered on all sides by a bustling cross-section of bars, lounges, and eateries for the hip and happening set, Pops sits squarely in the middle of River North's nightlife central. Open seven nights a week - at least five of those nights feature live jazz played in an intimate setting on the lower level.
Boasting one of the world's largest selections of champagne and sparkling wine, the bar menu is second to none, with a vast array (100 plus) of champagnes covering every taste and level of quality. Glasses begin at $5.00, with bottle prices ranging from $40.00 to upward of $400.00. Sparkling wines are much more affordable, but for those staying away from any brand of bubbly, Pops offers fine red and white wines, ports, cognacs, armagnacs, calvados, sherries, cordials and single-malt scotches. Of course, martinis are nothing to sniff at here also, and beer drinkers can choose from a finer limited selection of domestics as well as familiar imports. Regardless of your preferred beverage, the kitchen presents a tasteful selection of small plates, including caviar and a raw bar, and desserts.
The Perfect Choice For: Unforgettable first date or subsequent date nights, laid back jazz, "get-dressed-up-but-not-too-dressed-up" evenings in the city, stylish insiders, those seeking upscale but welcoming ambiance, wowing important clients, wooing the love of your life, those looking to avoid the just-turned-21 crowd
