Gibsons is the archetypal Gold Coast steakhouse, where hulking USDA Prime cuts, stiff cocktails, and a perpetual buzz draw locals, tourists, and celebrities into the wood-paneled dining room. Portions are oversized, the energy leans party-like, and decades of repeat business have turned it into a default choice for both celebrations and business dinners.
Must-Try Dishes:
W.R.'s Chicago Cut bone-in ribeye, Chicago-style bone-in filet mignon, Carrot cake slice

Down on lower Michigan, Billy Goat Tavern is the legendary no-frills counter slinging thin Cheezborgers and beers late into the night. It’s more about fast, griddled burgers, Cubs lore, and SNL nostalgia than polish, but it remains one of downtown’s most reliable after-hours burger stops.

What makes it special: A 1930s-born, subterranean burger counter famous for Cheezborgers, cheap beer, and Chicago lore.
