"The Brazilian coffee house and bar at Grant Park’s Beacon complex is a quiet neighborhood hangout by day, but evenings see Buteco transform into a buzzy bar serving caipirinhas, beer, and wine. Live music and open mic nights are hosted throughout the week on the covered patio out back and include acts ranging from local indie rock bands to samba and acoustic guitar. It’s not unusual to see couples during samba nights spill out onto the sidewalk dancing. In 2022, owner and musician Rafael Pereira transitioned the food menu to mostly street tacos. But the restaurant also serves feijoada (Brazilian bean stew) on special occasions." - Beth McKibben
