Gus’ Sip & Dip, a classic neighborhood bar from Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants, has officially opened in Chicago's River North at 51 W Hubbard St. Honoring Gus' Good Food, which stood in the same spot from 1906 to 1966, Gus' Sip & Dip Partner Kevin Beary and Bar Manager Scott Kitsmiller have modernized cocktails paired with tavern favorites.
“My goal is to inspire the next generation of cocktail drinkers by making classic drinks approachable and exciting,” says Beverage Director Kevin Beary “Cocktails are more than just drinks—they’re an experience, a story, and a way to connect with others. At Gus’ Sip & Dip, we’re crafting drinks that celebrate tradition while inviting new enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the artistry of mixology, without any pretension.”
The beverage menu features 30 reimagined classic cocktails, each priced at $12. Guests can choose from the Breakfast Martini, featuring London dry gin, orange liqueur, Earl Grey tea, and marmalade, served with a slice of honey butter toast. Or, the Irish Coffee, made with Irish whiskey, Metric coffee, cane sugar, and hand-shaken cream. Guests can also experience a rotating Happy Hour, Monday - Friday from 4PM to 5PM, offering a different Drink of the Day for $6.
Gus’ tavern-style barroom pairs these drinks with bar food from Chef Partner Bob Broskey (RPM Restaurants). With a take on classic tavern fare, guests can select dishes like French Dip sandwiches, Artichoke Fritters, Ice Cold Shrimp Cocktail, a tavern-style burger, Wagyu Steak Frites, and more. The kitchen stays open late, offering a dining experience well into the evening.
Gus’ Sip & Dip is available for walk-ins only and is first-come, first-served (reservations are not available).
