The real draw outside is the outdoor bocce court, rentable for groups of 10 to 30 (rates start around $50 per person, with the bar's own liquor license covering it until 11pm) — Chicago's bocce scene traces back to Italian immigrants playing in bars and parks in the early 1900s, and Cleo's keeps that tradition alive on an actual court rather than a borrowed parking lot. It's also a reliable spot for watching international soccer.
