Yes! We do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions. We do ask that you write in your restriction in your reservation notes or call the restaurant ahead of time to make sure we have the appropriate heads up. If we learn of a dietary restriction on the fly we will do our best to accommodate.

The best way to make a reservation for groups of five or more is to reach out to info@braserochicago.com Depending on the schedule and party size we may require a credit card on file as we charge a $30 per person fee in the event of a cancellation within 24 hours or failure to arrive for the reservation. All parties of five or more will be subject to a 20% service charge.

Gratuity is not included, except for parties of five or more. For those groups, a 20% service charge is applied.

We love South American wine but we get it, most people don’t know where to start. So every Wednesday our Wine Director, Alex Cuper, pulls six killer bottles you won’t find sitting on just any shelf. Each one goes for $60, even though they usually run much higher. Insider tip: few are exclusive to Brasero.

We’re obsessed with South American wine. Argentina is far more than Malbec, and Chile is far more than Cabernet. So we’ve assembled 100 of the most distinctive, delicious, and meticulously crafted bottles the continent has to offer, each priced at or under $100. Our goal is simple: champion the winemakers of these regions and guide you to discoveries you’ll remember. It’s a low-risk, high-reward wine program designed for pure exploration.

TLDR: Yes. OP: We are proud of our wine program here at Brasero. We showcase some of the most unique, expressive, and well made wines from South America and would love to share them with you. This ethos of representing the wines of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Brazil, and more is part of who we are at a foundational level. It isn’t a true Brasero experience without it. In the service of hospitality we do allow corkage at $60/bottle. We limit this to one 750ml bottle (max 15.5% abv) per guest and require the bottle not be currently showcased on our list.

We accept as many walk-ins as we can, but we recommend making a reservation. If we have the space available we will gladly seat you, but we cannot guarantee a table without a reservation.

We ask everyone to be as punctual as possible, but we do understand that life happens. We offer everyone a 15 minute grace period after which the table will be forfeited. If you are running more than 15 minutes behind please call the restaurant and we will see what solution we can find together.

Our address is 1709 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL, 60622. We’re on the south side of Chicago Avenue between Paulina and Wood. The closest major intersection is Ashland & Chicago, which is one block east of us.

Being right in the heart of West Town, there is plentiful metered street parking along Chicago Ave. If you want to save the money, there is some non-permit residential parking on both Paulina and Wood south of Brasero.

The #60 bus (Chicago) runs directly in front of the restaurant. North/South travelers will have the most success on the #9 (Ashland) bus, which has a stop just a block east of Brasero. We are a 20 minute walk to the nearest train station - The Chicago/Milwaukee Blue Line stop.

Totally. Consider bringing some to share with the crew! Kidding.

We are a smoke free environment so we ask anyone wanting to smoke to do so outside, at least 15 feet away from the front entrance.

You can use cash or credit cards.  We accept all major credit cards.  We cannot accept personal checks.

Of course! We will be happy to accommodate any of these needs.  We always suggest being as detailed as possible with reservations, and this includes table needs/preferences.
