For any celebrations, Pops for Champagne is the place to drink bubbly and celebrate. You can also order a glass of Bordeaux and sip it over the Torched Blueberry Marshmallow Ice Cream , our favorite.

Global Highlander

They have many bottles of wine (mostly sparkling wine ) and a handful of half-bottles. I definitely recommend the Black Tiger Shrimp & the Duck BLTs . I would recommend against the Tempura Cheese Curds .

Pops for Champagne’s La Vie en Rose cocktail , a sweet drink with Champagne , elderflower liqueur , bitters and sugar, may inspire thoughts of running away to travel the world. Read more

Mike the bartender looks like Jesus and is a master mixologist with an encyclopedic knowledge of champagne . Ask him what's good from their list of list of small producers... He won't steer you wrong!

Andrea Navarrete

Great place to have a nice champagne cocktail , great to a calm night out with friends so you can talk and enjoy your drinks.

Pablo Vladimir

Pricey but good atmosphere and amazing service. Get the garlic frites with truffle butter . So good and perfect for two people paired obviously with champagne .

Bianca

For champagne aficionados. Buy the bottle if you are 3+. Works well with few bites: olives , deviled eggs , oysters . Live music on Sundays only.

Casey Munger

I love this place for a good champaign cocktail . My favorite is the Bellini Coupette . The peach froth on top is like nothing I've ever had before. 🍾

Jessica Toliuszis

A Chicago must! Champagne options are endless and desserts are inventive and delicious

Matt makes a fabulous French 75 with Cognac ! Have the truffle sage popcorn . Free refills!

Peter Harders

Yes, this is a champagne wine bar however they have the best tempura covered cheese curds in the world. They're dusted with a foie gras powder that makes them perfectly salty. They're a must!

Pocket Sun

Trendy place , can get crowded on weekends. Food is pretty good, but I'm sad that they removed the Fried chicken thighs from the menu and made it only available downstairs at the Watershed .

Top 10 places I've ever been to--ever. Great atmosphere, trendy music & the current season's MBFW runway shows playing on all screens--a fashionista's haven. Amazing for a date or girls' night out. $$

Peter Harders

Hungry? You MUST indulge in the Wisconsin Tempura Cheese Curds . They're buttery and rich (and pairs nicely with champagne , right?!).

Adam Billings

Ask Michael for a half bottle of Ruinart and a cheese plate . You won't be disappointed. Ruinart is the oldest champagne house in the France.

The downstairs lounge is super chill and a great place to bring a group! Feels like my parent's basement . If my parents were like, the hippest gay couple in Chicago.

Sara M

Black Hills Gold and La Vie en Rose are tremendous! The Ahi Tartare beautiful presentation, tasted even more wonderful!! Love this place!

Jon B.

Excellent selection of champagne and sparkling wine . Bellini is off the charts! However, beware of mussels -- they aren't fresh

Watershed bar downstairs has a large collection of Midwestern beers , liquor , and wine . Good atmosphere.

Cameron Evans

Bottles can get a bit pricey so make sure you're ready to splurge, or go for a half bottle.

Pops for Champagne knows bubbly and jazz , and after 24 years on a tree-lined Lakeview street, owners Tom and Linda Verhey decided to bring the nati.

Alyssa Kail

If you like bitters , treat yourself to the La Vie en Rose !

Don't leave without ordering the Tempura Battered Cheese Curds . Salty, cheesy, and delicious.
