"It's one of the most astonishing places in the City of Chicago . . .

it's imbued with history . . .

one of Chicago's hidden Treasures!!"

Now in Our 25th Year!!

 "Like a kid in a candy store. . ."

  is a phrase I've taken seriously since opening

  Polo Nuts and Candy, Etc. here in 1985. Indeed,

  we've come such a long way from those days of

  over 400 varieties of candies and nuts, plus ice

  cream and popcorn, and in 1990 began  focusing

  our culinary efforts and experience on  Polo Cafe

  and Catering Bridgeport U.S.A.

  For more than 24 years we continue to create

  "something different . . . something wonderful!"

  for thousands of folks whether at the annual

  Taste of Chicago, where we've served Shark

  Veracruz, Crab Cake Nuggets, and Garlic-

  Mozzarella Cheese Bread during our 18 years

  along the lakefront, or with our spectacular

  cookies & candy trays and custom Easter gift

  baskets adorned by our signature satin bows,

  or at our masterfully catered productions and

  lavish, beautiful buffets which touch so many

  lives giving lots of precious memories for our

  customers and their guests.

  Since 1997, I've offered an elegant private room

  attached to my restaurant called the "Old Eagle

  Room".  Originally built in 1914 as a neighbor-

  hood picture show named The Eagle Theater, it

  accommodates up to 100 guests.  According to

  The Chicago Sun-Times, "...it has some of the

  best acoustics in the City," and featutres a mag-

  ent three-manual Rodgers 360 Theatre Organ

  (voiced by the late John Seng in 2000), a 20-

   channe audio/DJ system, and on the theatrically-

  lit stage, a rare solid walnut 1964 Wurlitzer

   Grand Piano for your unique entertainment.

             and dancing in my elegant

                     Old Eagle Room.

   

 

    Finally, I've recently added the latest extension of our hospitality here . . . my Bridgeport Bed and Breakfast:  four spacious 2-3

    bedroom, handsomely decorated, themed suites with private bath above my legendary Polo Cafe and Catering Bridgeport U.S.A., including

     complimentary lighted parking in my gated lot and breakfast downstairs in Polo Cafe. 

     Minutes south of the Loop with its lighted parking lot, my place is ideal to gather for a special event, dinner or reception, wedding or holy union

     ceremony, as  well as corporate seminars, meetings, and performances, plus unique overnight lodging.  I personally oversee the kitchen and

     the many details of each catered event, and look forward to serving you here soon!!
