The Gage

The 12 Best Restaurants In The Loop - Chicago - The Infatuation

"The Gage is our top choice in the Loop for bar food. The menu is full of elevated classics, like bison tartare, poutine, and entrees like fish and chips. Since this spot is right across from Millenium Park, you can also plan on it being full of tourists. But at least they’re the cool kind of tourists who know where to go for a good meal." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

Chicago’s Best Irish Pubs and Bars for St. Patrick’s Day | Eater Chicago

"For a fancier Irish pub experience, visit this Michigan Avenue spot across the street from Millennium Park from Billy Lawless, an authentic Irishman. The menu offers plenty of stellar standards, including a prime beef burger and fish and chips, but also steak frites, lamb vindaloo, and mushroom Bolognese, all of which can be accompanied by classic cocktails and selections from the expansive wine cellar. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson

Chicago’s Best Fish and Chips | Eater Chicago

"The paper cone presentation does not affect the taste of The Gage’s fish and chips, but it’s a fun homage to the British tradition of serving the dish in newspaper. Pair the beer-battered Icelandic cod and crispy fries — also served with tartar sauce and lemon — with a pint of Guinness. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Sam Nelson

The 17 Best Restaurants In Chicago's Theater District - Chicago - The Infatuation

"When it comes to bar food in the area, The Gage is our top choice. The menu is full of elevated classics, like tuna tartare, braised pork poutine, and fish and chips. Since it’s right across from Millennium Park, you can plan on it being full of tourists. But guess what, so is the Chicago Theater." - adrian kane, john ringor

"For more than a decade, this expansive, eclectic gastropub has catered to the Millennium Park crowds. Handsome banquettes and columns wrapped in celadon tiles lend a clubby allure, but the space’s buzzy vibe never feels overwhelming. While a bar stretching half the length of the restaurant gets its fair share of happy-hour crowds, the rear dining rooms offer a more relaxed setting.Pub classics with flair define the menu, like malt-battered cod with creamy tartar sauce and parsley-flecked thick-cut fries—a solid rendition of fish and chips. Keep it light with crunchy watercress and sugar snap pea salad with house-made burrata, or go all out with a plate of chocolate-toffee cream puffs garnished with tender cocoa-dusted marshmallows." - Michelin Inspector
