Inside: Pops for Champagne
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.

LRC from NW Burbs - July 17, 2008

No flights I was told. I had to order a bottle, half bottle, or by the glass. By the glass had about 7 to choose from. The atmosphere was cold. ...
