“Beautiful venue and the food and service staff where top notch!!!”

Zach W (Zz)★★★★★

they have some good food, outstanding service and friendly staff and the best thing is the view especially if you got a window on the lakeside but it could be a little bit chilly in the winter so you better bring your blanket or warmer 😄

We had the pleasure of photographing Jessica and Nate’s wedding at Café Brauer, and it was an absolute dream. The venue offers timeless Chicago elegance with its high ceilings, warm brick architecture, and those stunning views of the city skyline and Lincoln Park Zoo. From a photography perspective, the natural light that floods through the grand windows is incredible. Every frame feels cinematic and elevated. The staff was professional, attentive, and made the entire experience smooth for the couple and creative team alike. If you’re a couple looking for a Chicago venue that’s both classic

Café Brauer was a great venue for our recent corporate holiday party booking as Captured Moments Collective Photo Booth rental vendor. The location was easy to get to, the staff was friendly, and the setup process was straightforward. The space offered a welcoming atmosphere for guests, and everything we needed for the event was easily accessible. We were glad to be part of the celebration and look forward to future events at this venue! IG: CapturedMomentsCollective

A truly stunning venue. Over 14+ years capturing weddings in Chicago, we have had the pleasure of working with a lot of venues. This is by far one of Chicago's shining stars. The perfect mix of location (greenery galore, skyline views, private-esque gardens, close to the lakefront) and history.
