Courtney & Gage
Things To Do
Pops for Champagne
This was THE CHAMPAGNE BAR Gage took Courtney right before proposing. Delicious champagne cocktails (and a full bar if champagne isn't your first choice) are the main features here. Order the La Vie en Rose if you want our favorite/ the cocktail we had right before getting engaged!
The Gage
One of our absolute favorites. The drinks and food are equally impressive and this place is very special to us. We came here on our first ever trip to Chicago together and them immediately after the proposal.. we even had the same bartender!
The Signature Room at the 95th®
We had our morning after-engagement brunch here and were blown away by the food and service and especially the view. This restaurant also has a separate lounge if you just want to stop by for a cocktail and take in the view from the 95th floor overlooking Chicago and Lake Michigan. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner in addition to brunch on the weekends.
