Frequently asked questions about Bavette's
Is the photo booth at Bavette's still working?
Yes, as far as we know. We last checked on Jun 22, 2026. If you turn up and it's out of order, tap "Report an issue" on this page so the next person doesn't waste a trip.
How much is a strip at Bavette's, and can I pay by card?
The price is posted on the machine. Cash only — bring coins or small notes. Most analog booths in this range run a few pounds, euros or dollars a strip.
Is Bavette's a real film photo booth or a digital one?
We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to Bavette's?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
How many photos do you get at Bavette's, and how long does it take?
One strip of four shots. The machine takes the four in quick succession, then develops the strip on the spot — usually three to five minutes before it drops into the slot.
What time can I use the booth at Bavette's?
4pm - 10pm (Mon-Thu), 3pm - 11pm (Fri-Sun). The booth is inside the venue, so those are the hours that matter.
How do I get to Bavette's?
It's at 218 W. Kinzie St., Chicago, IL. Use the map above for transit, walking or driving directions from wherever you are.
Can I get into Bavette's with a wheelchair or a pram?
We haven't checked access at this venue. Classic booths have a fixed bench and a curtain, so the booth itself is a tight fit; the venue's own access is the thing to ask them about.
What if the booth at Bavette's is out of order when I get there?
It happens — these machines are decades old. Scroll to "Nearest booths" in Chicago for the closest alternative, and tap "Report an issue" so we can flag it for everyone else.
When was Bavette's last checked?
Jun 22, 2026, by us. If you've been more recently, mark it visited on this page — that's how we keep listings honest.
