I recently hosted a birthday party on the second floor of Cruz Blanca Brewery, and it was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we walked in, the attentive wait staff ensured our group felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening. The space was impressively spacious, making it perfect for our gathering. We never felt crowded, and there was plenty of room for everyone to mingle comfortably despite sharing the 2nd floor space with other patrons (since I decided...read full review
Cruz Blanca is a fun brewery/cantina on W. Randolph Street. They have a fair-sized indoor seating area as well as space outside for good weather days. Opening hours are 4.30pm to 10pm daily.

Cruz Blanca Taquería + Brewery is a popular spot known for its craft beer and approachable Mexican food. The restaurant offers a variety of beers, including dark porters and barley wines, which many guests love. The food menu features dishes like grilled chicken tacos and oxoacan tostadas, with some reviews highlighting the tostadas as amazing. The service is friendly, helpful, and genuine, with staff often going out of their way to recommend dishes and beers. Visitors appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, especially during special occasions like Restaurant Week or New Year's Eve, where the staff provides excellent treatment. However, recent updates suggest the restaurant has become more expensive and now mainly offers tacos, with the tlayudas becoming less available. Despite this, many guests still enjoy the food, drinks, and overall experience. The only downside noted is the uncomfortable, tiny stools at the tables, which can make meals less enjoyable, especially in colder weather. Overall, Cruz Blanca remains a solid choice for craft beer lovers and those seeking approachable Mexican cuisine.
