I might have been expecting too much but while this was a nice, not too loud place to hang out with friends, I won't be rushing back. The champagne bottles weren't a bad deal, we ordered 2, plus...

Oh let me describe how much I love champagne. I LOVE CHAMPAGNE. I do not reserve it for special toasts or New Years. This bar serves my drink of choice like its water running from a fountain. It is in...

The new Pops is a big change from the old Pops. I loved the neighborhood charm of the old Pops, and had gone to listen to jazz a few times - the atmosphere was classy and romantic. Star Bar was a...

Disappointing service and inventory. People who "do" champagne get service but champagne bars throughout the country seem to think it sufficient to plop a bottle at a table and top off the glasses...

Went last night for a post-finals cocktail . . .We immediately got a large table towards the back (I think the hostess wanted to hide us because we just were not awesome enough for her). I had the...

We stopped by here on Thursday evening for a grand opening party. The new space is nice, seemingly fairly open and modern. It was a little hard to tell, considering it packed to the gills. It was a...

I loved this place.....is it closed? If so, more's the pity. Sitting in a cozy corner table with the fireplace, sipping champagne and listening to music. This venue is a gem. I remember going once...

Last time ... make that the *only* time I was here, we sat flat up against the stage, with the band impressing us more & more the more drinks we consumed. We had ourselves a grand ole time, thinking...

One of the only champagne bars I've found in Chicago. It's a quiet atmosphere and an ideal place to take a date.
