What's the dress code in Gold Coast?

Gold Coast is Chicago's dressiest neighborhood. Expect upscale casual to semi-formal - collared shirts for men, cocktail attire for women. Leave the Cubs jerseys for Wrigleyville.

Is Gold Coast expensive?

Yes, it's Chicago's most upscale nightlife district. Cocktails run $18-25, steaks at Gibsons top $60+. But the party bus helps - split costs, BYOB between stops, and avoid surge pricing.

What's special about Rush Street?

Rush Street was Chicago's original nightlife strip in the 1950s-70s. While it's evolved, classics like Tavern on Rush and Gibsons keep the legacy alive alongside newer spots.

Can we visit the Hancock Center's Signature Lounge?

Absolutely! We drop you at the 875 N Michigan entrance. The Signature Lounge on the 96th floor has no cover (just buy a drink) and offers the best views in Chicago.

Is Gold Coast good for bachelorette parties?

Perfect for the sophisticated bride! Think champagne at rooftop bars, piano singalongs at Zebra Lounge, and Instagram moments at every stop. Less club, more class.
