Located inside the luxurious RH Chicago in the historic Gold Coast district, 3 Arts Club Cafe blends elevated American cuisine with a jaw-dropping interior. Set in a glass-enclosed courtyard under a sparkling chandelier, this café is as much about the ambiance as it is about the food. With its marble fountains, olive trees, and upscale yet relaxed atmosphere, it’s a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike looking for an unforgettable dining experience before a night of music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short ride from many of Chicago’s top concert venues, 3 Arts Club Cafe makes a perfect pre-show stop. The serene environment offers a welcome break from the buzz of the city, and service is known to be efficient and friendly — ideal if you’re on a tight timeline. The all-day menu allows flexibility for late lunches or early dinners, and the acoustics in the glass-ceilinged courtyard remain surprisingly mellow, giving you a chance to unwind before the music amps up.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to dine in style before a show

What People Say

Guests rave about the stunning design and atmosphere, often comparing it to dining in a European garden. The truffle grilled cheese and RH burger are standouts on the menu, and many note the café is a hidden gem within the RH showroom. Reviewers appreciate the relaxed vibe and say it’s a great spot to impress out-of-town friends or enjoy a quiet moment before a big night out.

Areas for Improvement

The café does not take reservations, which means you might wait during peak hours — not ideal if you’re racing to catch an opener. Some guests note that the menu, while delicious, is on the pricey side for casual bites. It’s also more of a daytime-to-early-evening destination, so those attending late-night shows might find it closes a bit early.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a beautiful, calming spot to dine before your concert, 3 Arts Club Cafe delivers an experience that’s as memorable as the music.
