Cafe Ballou is a great place to have a meeting of 2 to 30 people. We welcome you to contact us about hosting your next meeting here. A few that have met here include:

--artists in the schools

--a vegan food co-op

--an underground library

--Yelp office hours

--filmmakers working on a documentary about Chicago neighborhoods

--book club

--stitch 'n bitch

--a new literary journal

Our comfortable, music-filled coffeehouse will keep your creative juices flowing. 

Ballou is also perfect for a private party of up to 50 people -- our friend Leah held a surprise party for her husband Jeff, and Mitchell School has used it for volunteer recognition events. Contact us for rental details. 

See you soon!
