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 nationally known lounge to River North. The bi-level space has it all: champagne bar, adjacent retail space called Pops Shop, raw bar, charming outdoor spaces including a courtyard and sidewalk cafe, plus a hip downstairs haven for music lovers. Downstairs, large stones and low ceilings in the jazz lounge create that underground club feel common in European music hangs; contemporary design elements such as a multi-media chandelier and translucent onyx bar make the main level a standout night spot.
