Drinks, Nightlife & Entertainment at CityGate Centre

When the evening calls for something more than dinner, CityGate Centre delivers. Two distinct destinations offer Naperville's most refined after-dark experiences—a steakhouse bar where live jazz sets the tone every Friday and Saturday night and a design-driven craft cocktail lounge open daily. Both within steps of each other at Route 59 and the I-88 interchange.

CityGate Grille brings favorite Chicagoland artists to its stage every Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. for live jazz—no cover. Signature cocktails like the CityGate Old Fashioned and CityGate Manhattan anchor a bar program that also features wines by the glass from producers like Austin Hope, Domaine Lafage and Dr. Loosen, and a draft and craft beer selection including Revolution Brewing's Anti Hero IPA, Goose Island Bourbon County Stout and CityGate Grille's own Spartan Ember IPA, brewed by Two Brothers Brewing.

Zorba Lounge is Naperville's most distinctive cocktail destination, located just off the lobby of Hotel Arista. Eight signature cocktails run from the crisp Vesper 007 to a silky Espresso Martini, alongside a zero-proof program built with Ritual Zero Proof spirits, Muri fermented non-alcoholic sparkling drinks and botanical options from Three Spirit. Glove leather seating, soft lighting and a fire pit patio complete the experience. Open daily, with weekend hours extending to midnight.
