About Cruz Blanca Taquería + Brewery

Cruz Blanca, a taqueria and craft brewery on Randolph Street in the West Loop, Chicago, hosts private parties and corporate events for up to 200 guests. Planners pick it for a private upstairs room with its own bar, beer brewed in-house and a taco-led event menu that works for both a seated dinner and a standing party.

Two options can be booked. The Cruz Blanca 2nd Floor is a private room of about 36 by 33 feet with a full bar, lofty ceilings and expansive windows; it seats 50 or holds 100 standing. For bigger groups, the Cruz and Leña Buyout takes the full second floor, shared with sister restaurant Leña Brava, for up to 200 guests.

Food for groups comes as packages: an hour of passed antojitos such as empanadas and ceviche tostaditas, street-style tacos passed individually, or Tacos al Carbon with sides and dessert, served family style on shared platters or as a buffet. Drinks run as an hourly draft beer and margarita package, a package that adds wine and cocktails, or a consumption bar. The room feels like a bright, casual brewpub, with brewing tanks behind the bar, wood tables and tall factory-style windows.

Each event is planned around a room, a food package and a drink package, and many event menu items are marked gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian or vegan. Valet parking runs Thursday to Saturday from 4:30PM, and the restaurant is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Planning your event

A group picks the 2nd Floor private room or the full second floor buyout, then chooses a food package and a drink package from the event menu. On the day, food is passed, laid out family style or set up as a buffet, and the bar runs on an hourly package or on consumption.

Vibe: Bright and casual brewpub. Brewing tanks sit behind the bar, with wood tables, pendant lights and tall factory-style windows.
Space layout: The taqueria and brewpub fill the ground floor. The private room is upstairs on the second floor, about 36 by 33 feet, with its own full bar and space for a buffet station. The buyout opens the whole second floor, including sister restaurant Leña Brava.
Private events: The Cruz Blanca 2nd Floor is a private room for up to 50 seated or 100 standing. The Cruz and Leña Buyout takes the full second floor for up to 200 guests. Each event is built from a food package and a drink package on the venue's event menu.
Food & drinks: Food packages are an hour of passed antojitos, an hour of street-style tacos passed individually, or Tacos al Carbon with chips, guacamole, salad, sides and cookies, served on shared platters or as a buffet. Drinks are an hourly draft beer and margarita package, an hourly package adding wine and cocktails, or a consumption bar. The beer is brewed in-house and the bar focuses on agave spirits.
Group size: Up to 50 seated or 100 standing in the 2nd Floor room. Shared platter service is offered for up to 50 guests. Up to 200 with the full second floor buyout.
