Why We Like This Place
5 reasons that make Café Brauer at the Lincoln Park Zoo a one-of-a-kind venue:
1. You can dine surrounded by wildlife. A variety of unique indoor and outdoor spaces enable your guests to enjoy an elegant dinner while marveling at all sorts of creatures from gorillas, chimpanzees, giraffes and gazelles to lions, tigers, crocodiles and penguins.
2. Café Brauer is an architectural stunner. Its Prairie School design, featuring a vaulted, skylit ceiling and Tiffany-inspired glass chandeliers, makes this classic Chicago building a must-see.
3. Spectacular views of the city are available, too. Café Brauer’s terraces offer breathtaking views of Chicago’s famous skyline.
4. Your event helps the animals. Proceeds from events booked here are used to keep the animals fed and the zoo open and free year-round—and your rental fee is tax deductible.
5. Your “safari” is conveniently located. Being in Lincoln Park means you’re close to plenty of hotels, shopping and restaurants for your guests.
