I'm enjoy meeting friends here because they have a great selection of wines and some delicious snacks. I like their popcorn and caviar bumps. Sitting at the bar is nice as it is an oasis from the busy- ness of the city.

During, day trip to Chicago on Saturday November 2nd I was FINALLY able to go to Pops for Champagne! It's Chicago's only Champagne bar, it's located in the heart of downtown Chicago, and it's on the corner of N. State Street. It's been at the same location since 1982. Pops for Champagne isn't too big of a place, great location, great for the locals, and especially the out of towners like myself passing by. The Champagne bar does expect reservations. Since, I was solo I sat at the bar. The ambiance of the Champagne bar very chic, classy, and Champagne paintings. The service for me was good, I ordered two drinks first was a Champagne cocktail called Gold Rush- high west Bourbon, pineapple liqueur, honey, lemon and Prosecco. That cocktail was very delicious, and then before I left I ordered a glass of champagne- André Heucq Héritage Brut Nature Blanc de Meunier that tasted just right for my liking on Champagne. Now, if you're into Champagne then Pops for Champagne is for you, and Champagne bar does offer other alcohol beverages. Also, Pops for Champagne have a snacks from caviar bumps, oysters, cheese curds, Chicago style sausage, burger. Etc. I'll definitely be back at Pops for Champagne.

Pops is your classic wine bar in River North. The drinks are good, albeit a little expensive but that's to be expected. The menu is vast and I particularly enjoy their tequila cocktails. It's worth nothing that their food is extremely underrated! I had a burger and it was easily one of the best in the city (almost up there with Bavette's and Au Cheval). The portions are huge and the food is fresh. If you don't want a full meal they have many small bites to enjoy while drinking. I've had both their truffle popcorn and cheese curds and was pleased with both.

We stopped by this very modern and welcoming restaurant to have a drink and ended up going there for the second night in a row! What a pleasant surprise! Their drinks are fantastic! My Cosmopolitan was amazing! 2 night in a row we ordered Stake Frites (medium). Just outstanding! Great service! Welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended! Thank you, Chicago!Thank

Fantastic location, beautiful interior, and an incredible wine list. My favorite part is that they have a lot of grower-producer options rather than just a bunch of grande marques. That said, the waitstaff could be more knowledgeable about the wines. I asked about a specific bottle of Agrapart and the server swore it was Blanc de Blancs, but the label didn't say so and when I looked it up online, that wasn't true. I also asked about a couple of growers on the list and she had never even heard of them. It just feels like if you're going to have a wine-focused place, the servers should know the wine list better to make recommendations. It's also honestly a bit overpriced -- I've found some of the same bottles at other nice restaurants in River North for a bit less. Overall still a solid spot if you're a Champagne nerd, but you might have to do a fair amount of googling if you're trying to explore beyond what you already know.

Came for a quick cocktail after a long day at a conference. Their cocktail and drink menu has a lot of great options. I went with the Bees Knees and it was light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. A cute spot that would be great for a girls night or a date.

Absolutely no better place in Chicago for champagne than Pops! Let Champagne Jesus or any of the knowledgeable staff pick out the perfect bubbles for your visit. No "occasional?" Even better! Our group enjoyed a wine tasting, noshed on tasty snacks and sipped this stunner of a champagne on a bright, Sunday afternoon.
