Welcome to Cru

Kick back and relax with a great glass of wine at Cru Café & Wine Bar.

Located in the Gold Coast, it is close to Chicago’s major hotels and magnificent shopping on Michigan Ave and Oak Street. The space is comfortable and casual, with sofas and armchairs providing the perfect ambiance for intimate conversation and antique chandeliers providing a soft and subtle glow.

Snuggle by the fireplace in winter, or watch the world go by from our sidewalk café in the summer, as you choose from over 400 bottles of wine, 50 wines by the glass, and an inspiring selection of half bottles and flights.

A full bar is also available, with premium liquors to make your favorite martini, or feel the warmth as you sip that single malt scotch. Cru offers a large menu to pair with your wine - from cheese and charcuterie, to appetizers, entrees and desserts.

Intimately divided into three lounge and dining areas, plus the bar, Cru is the perfect place to meet friends or business associates and is a popular neighborhood hangout.
