Cafe + Cabaret!
Cafe 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, Cafe Cabaret promises an electric night of eclectic entertainment. We are excited to be in a new home, Windy City Café where in addition to serving a food menu during the day, serve up a menu of entertainment, coctails and light snacks on special evenings.
