Cafe + Cabaret!

Café Cabaret began as a true coffee shop cabaret featuring dance, comedy, storytelling, music, and more. We feature a rotating cast of Chicago favorites and new talent. From poignant to funny, mirth to disaster, and everything in between, Café Cabaret promises an electric night of eclectic entertainment.  We are excited to be in a new home, The Atlantic Bar & Grill, where they serve expertly crafted food prepared by passionate chefs, and they are a great place for an excellent pint of Guinness and other tasty drinks. They also serve up a fun menu of entertainment that now includes Café Cabaret!
