Gus' Sip & Dip is one of the best bar restaurants in Chicago for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Here's the thing about a bar that calls itself "Sip & Dip": it has to deliver on both, and Gus' actually does.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Here's the thing about a bar that calls itself "Sip & Dip": it has to deliver on both, and Gus' actually does. This River North spot from beverage director Kevin Beary (Three Dots and a Dash) and chef Bob Broskey (RPM, Intro) takes its name from Gus' Good Food, which held this address from 1906 to 1966 — so there's a neighborhood-tavern soul under all the Michelin pedigree. The play here is dipped sandwiches and reimagined classics. The Smoked Ham Dip ($23) is a brown-sugar-glazed pork roast on pan de cristal with mustard jus for dunking, and the Wagyu Steak Frites piles thin-sliced rare top round on toast with horseradish cream. The Rangoon Dip deconstructs a crab rangoon into something craveable. Thirty cocktails, all $12 — the Breakfast Martini comes with Earl Grey-infused gin and a honey-buttered toast point, which is exactly the kind of cheeky move I'm here for. It's racked up serious hardware: No. 27 on North America's 50 Best Bars, a 2026 Jean Banchet for Best New Bar. Walk-ins only, first come first served. Worth the wait.
