Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse | Chicago, Illinois

Since its opening on Chicago’s Rush Street in 1989, Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse has been serving diners looking for an elevated take on the American steakhouse experience. Once a jazz club, the place is upscale but never stuffy, with a tri-color hardwood floor, a large wooden bar and bright red booths and banquettes. 

Hungry travelers can choose from a menu of USDA prime meat cuts as well as fresh seafood selections. Martini lovers should opt for Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse’s excellent take on a classic martini made with gin or vodka and served up in a martini glass with no ice.  

Be sure to check out the shareable desserts like carrot cake, chocolate mousse pie or the Macadamia turtle pie topped with vanilla ice cream. Each serves six to eight people, making for a sweet finish to your group’s dining experience. 1028 N. Rush St., Chicago, Illinois 60611, 312/266-8999, gibsonssteakhouse.com
