Gus' Sip & Dip

Super GemRiver North · American/Cocktail Bar Community-sourced, unverified
📍 51 W Hubbard St Ste 100, Chicago, IL 60654

Hub 51 ran this River North corner for sixteen years before closing in 2024, and Lettuce Entertain You didn't waste much time turning the space into something new — naming it in honor of Gus' Good Food, a restaurant that actually stood on this exact corner from 1906 to 1966.

The crab dip alone is worth the wait — and there is always a wait, even on a random Tuesday. Order it, order something off the $12 list, and don't rush.

What opened in its place leans hard into old-tavern nostalgia — rich wood, leather seating, warm low light — built around a genuinely disciplined cocktail program: thirty reimagined classics, organized by base spirit, every single one $12 flat. It's already picked up real recognition fast, landing at No. 27 on North America's 50 Best Bars, a Pinnacle Guide PIN, and the 2026 Jean Banchet Award for Best New Bar.

Chef Bob Broskey, who came up through Michelin-starred kitchens like Ria and L2O, handles the food side — dipped sandwiches, shareable dips, and a wagyu beef dip with whipped horseradish worth ordering on its own. There's no reservation system here; it's walk-in only, first-come first-served, which means prime hours genuinely mean a wait.
