Bubbles Wine Bar

Great service, good wine and food options. It worked very well for me! Just my speed. Thank you!

I absolutely love the feel of this place! The service is Top Notch and the selections are excellent. Highly recommend coming here while waiting for your flight. Derrick is the best!

When it comes to airport bars, you have one goal. Well 2 if you’re a wanderlust. Bubbles is located within the airport and close to gate K3. That benefits all of you American Airline travelers, because you can have a glass of wine or champagne before your flight. Hell you can a bottle if you’re there long enough. There’s a piano that is playing, which is entertaining. I had almost 2 hours of wait time before my flight, so I had the chance to relax. Jorge was pleasant and speedy with his service. All in all Bubbles is awesome! Seating is limited, so you will spend most of your time standing around meeting random people from all over the world.
Cheers and safe travels!

Do not waste the money. Go to Rick Bayliss place right across the way. Terrible over priced wine list even for an airport. Severs are even worse. Too much attitude especially for a wine bar in an AIRPORT!

Good spot for a better glass of wine at ORD, but the setting is too loud and the player piano gets old after the first few minutes.

I only had a glass of prosecco but it was crisp and refreshing. The electric piano was really cool. My only complaint was the slow service. A bar in an airport should be above average in this instance … I mean people are literally trying to take flight.

Nice little airport bar with some class. Nice ambiance, a player piano. Champagne, beer, wine and liquor. But, I would have expected a larger selection of reds. There are exactly 3. And beer… only 4 non-​craft beers, including Bud Light! What the heck! Minus one star for serving Bud in a Champagne bar and only having 3 reds.

loved their setup and also wine selection was good!

Ambience: nice. Has comfy couches and a piano for people to play. Limited seating.
Wine selection: limited
Service: shit. There were two older women one by the name of Alina. They were either turned off by the fact that I look really young and not old enough to drink and was wearing a hoodie or racist seeing as I was the only non-​Caucasian. I was sitting there for 1.5 and wanted a second glass of wine. It wasn’t even busy but they attended to everyone but me asking if they wanted another glass or need their check. Finally I got the attention of the other bartender and she asked «are you new?“after sitting at the counter for an 1.5hrs.

Bubbles is so relaxing, with the great wine list, premium liquor and, OMG, the shrimp. Ask for Georgia. She’s the Bomb. See you guys next time I’m in O’Hare.

Why didn’t I come here as soon as i entered O’Hare?
It seems crazy to say, but this is the best respite/​lounge for the weary… or rather my 5+ hour wait. As soon as I walked in my tension melted away.
Its tiny, but comfy and personable. Service is impeccable and its fairly priced. Skip Wolfgang puck and come here if you are not part of the food court/​big chain restaurants/​sports bar crowd. Big plus: food is fresh but already packaged together, so my salmon tartine was delivered 2 minutes after ordering.
The bar keep is lovely and actually keeps an eye on everyone — asking when their flight is, and just super pleasant.
Fun bonus: an electric baby grand plays old standards

Great quick service! Who doesn’t need a glass of bubbly in between flights?

Good champagne selection inside O’Hare next to Gate H4. Reasonable pricing (for an airport location.) Veuve, Taittinger, Perrier-​Jouet, etc… Frontera is right across the way too!

Very cute intimate bar in O’Hare. Loving my pre-​boarding time here.
great service by the bartenders.
one of them asked a group of 2 girls with 4 chairs if they could share the space for me, and that was ultimate sweet!
the piano is open for bypassers to play, and on the day i was there, there was this amazing piano player who kept it all entertaining.

Upscale space in the American Terminal at O’Hare, although it’s a bit small when the airport is crowded. You can get cocktails, a small but okay list of wines by the glass, and a number of different Champagnes. It’s an airport, so nothing is cheap but even the meat & cheese plates are decent for an airport (the best value is the combination plate). Say hey to Lou and the gang while you grab a drink before your flight, this place is a nice addition to O’Hare and a new favorite place in addition to Tortas Frontera which is just down the concourse. Neither are cheap, but for an airport both are pretty good.

As good as it gets for a wine bar in an airport!
I have walked past this place countless times. I always figured it would be obscenely overpriced and my choices would be limited to Ravenswood or Coppola. One trip, after a tiring «vacation» visiting family and friends, the boy and I felt gutsy stopped by to get a drink.
The prices are not bad at all! I mean, if you are used to city living it won’t be a shock. It’s doable, especially as a splurge. They had a small but well chosen selection and I really enjoyed my choice. (I can’t remember what I got… maybe a Malbec?)
The seating area is rather small, but if you do get a seat there are outlets at every seat at the bar! We sat in a bar of comfy chairs by the piano and had a great time before our flight.

So I always end up flying out of the very last gate so I have passed up this fabulous little spot so many times, each time more sad than the last. Finally I got my chance, but on my first attempt the lady ignored me even though there were only 3 other patrons and they were all taken care of — this stare down went on for about 12 minutes before I left.
Fast forward to 2 weeks ago — the sweetest man in the world took care of me, helped me find an outlet to plug in and made me a perfect cosmo.
Love the live piano music when they have it and the ambiance is just very chic.

For an airport bar, I don’t think it could get much better. The man who is always there is so nice, polite, and amenable — you couldn’t ask for better service. (I have experienced a rather nasty waitress once before, as I’ve been here many times, thanks to flying American).
It’s such a sweet sanctuary right off the main concourse — with piano music usually played by a pianist or the piano going solo. The blue plastic covering the window makes the area totally calm. If you are lucky, you might snag one of the plush white chairs with low tables that line the exterior of this little shop. If you get a seat at all though, you’re in luck.
I love the prosecco here as well as the Malbec.
What really makes this awesome is, if you’re looking for a light, decent, bite of food before flight, their plates are classy and excellent. The most recent time my husband and I opted for the charcuterie plate and the shrimp.
The shrimp were enormous, very tasty, and came with a good cocktail sauce and fresh, sweet diced cucumbers.
The charcuterie plate had a diverse assortment of meats (o proscuitto de parma! I am sorry I dropped you — but our puppy was not!)… They could be a bit more daring in their cheeses, but all in all it was a great selection.
I don’t doubt we’ll be back.

3.5 stars
The only wine bar in this American Airlines terminal. Limited wines, and as the name says it all, they offer more bubbles and decent selections of Champagne for an airport bar, than white and red wines.
— 7 sparkling and Champagne: Cristalino Brut Cava, Mionetto Prosecco, Moet & Chandon, Perrier-​Jouet, Sofia blanc de blanc, Tatinger, Vueve-​Cliquot.
— 3 cocktails: Bellini, Citrus Fizz, Mimosa
— 4 white wines: Château St. Michele Riesling, Eco Duman Pinot Gris, Russian River Char, Kim Crawford Saug. Blanc.
— 3 red wines: Mirassou Pinot Noir, Louis Martini Napa Cab., Terrazas de Los Andes Malbec.
The nice thing is that they serve 3 OZ, 6 OZ and 9 OZ, so you can try a few things. The entire bar is about 10 seats, so I had to waited half an hour before I can get a seat… I also got into a fight because of the darn seat. Price point, it’s airport, what do you expect?
There’s a piano there, the pianist played beautiful pieces before he left. The servers could be nicer, but I guess dealing with the travelers, can be hard on them. If you a wino, this is as GOOD as it gets at O’hare Terminal 3, Gate K2 and H4.

Located near the food court of O’Hare, this was the only place that offered me a healthy protein option with no salt, so I ate one when I flew in AND as I waited for my return flight.
Shrimp cocktail ($ 14) — 5 big, perfectly cooked shrimp, on top of a bed of lettuce, with cocktail sauce, diced cucumber, and lemon wedges
Yum!
