The sidewalk cafe program was created by the City of Chicago to track and maintain information to ensure that all sidewalk cafes are permitted and approved by City ordinances. The program runs from April 1st to November 1st. Applicants must first hold a valid Retail Food Establishment License pursuant to Chapter 4-8 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago. Applicants intending to serve liquor at a Sidewalk Cafe must have a valid Liquor License pursuant to Chapter 4-60 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago. Applications must be approved by the Alderman and returned to the office along with a certificate of insurance, two copies of the Sidewalk Cafe location and layout plan. For more detailed information call (312)-747-3823.
