Lively loud bar close to everything with cocktail specials in honor of u2 (this week)!

Excellent food, great beer selection, and flawless service. Allergy-friendly too! Would be a great choice for date night or a special dinner.
by Benjamin Lodi
Food was very good and they have some fantastic 2007 vintage wines on their list right now for their 10th anniversary. What really made the meal enjoyable was the exceptional service.
by Robert M
The Loop: Location, location, location: The Gage’s patio sits steps from Lake Michigan and Millennium Park and smack-dab in the middle of some of Michigan Avenue’s most gorgeous old buildings.
by PureWow
And the fish and chips are really crispy and stay crispy even with a lot of malt vinegar.
by Neal M

The Poutine was great!
by Johanne B.
V. disappointing venison burger. Ate 1/4 before not being able to continue. Over cooked (Not medium-rare) and simply poor quality meat. Taste like Walmart value mince. a lovely atmosphere and bar!
by Rob D
The fireplace at The Gage makes the bar/restaurant an ideal spot to warm up before or after a trip to Millennium Park.

Best Venison Burger!

Of course the scotch eggs are tasty. So are the fish and chips. My favorite is the bar - top notch selection and awesome bartenders.

The Gage takes a creative, seasonal approach to its Farm Salad, prepared with poached fall fruits, candied hazelnuts, Roquefort cheese and pear-thyme vinaigrette.
by Reserve A

Can't go wrong with the poutine, mussels, or fondue.
by Laura W.
Caramelized lobster, Brie fondue, & mussels vindaloo. Mmmm. Have them bring out fondue with the mussels so you have the most bread to dip in both. Great with a beer.
by Joanne C.
The food is rich and flavorful, from the perfect-for-snacking Scotch egg to the Gage burger, served a juicy medium-rare and dripping with melted onion marmalade and gobs of Midwestern Camembert.
