Fourth of July Dining at The Patio at Café Brauer, an Historic American Landmark Nestled along Scenic Nature Boardwalk

The Patio at Café Brauer. The Patio is located just south of the main Lincoln Park Zoo grounds beside Café Brauer (2021 North Stockton), an historic 1908 Prairie School-style landmark, on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Patio at Café Brauer overlooks the pond at the Nature Boardwalk at Lincoln Park Zoo, which offers a stroll through the restored native ecosystem; and a short walk to the “Honeycomb” People’s Gas Pavilion, where you can also capture views of the Chicago skyline.

The Patio offers small plates and specialty burgers, cocktails, craft-brewed ales, and wine. Plus, on Independence Day, specials including: 8-piece chicken wings (BBQ, Buffalo or Mango Habanero) with a domestic or draft beer, $15; and the Blue Dream cocktail, with vodka, gin, lime juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, splash of Owen’s mixer, splash Blue Curacao, $8.
