The Gallery Cabaret

Our bar and live music venue in Chicago's Bucktown neighborhood hosts early and late events nightly. No cover, ever. 21+ ONLY

PEOPLE ARE TALKING

Depending on the night of the week, this can be a hipster bar, an old-man bar, or anything in between. There’s live music every night, a decent selection of beer on tap, and a low-key atmosphere.

- Julia Thiel, The Reader

This Bucktown bar has had an artistic soul since it opened in 1988--there are gallery shows and free comedy and music every night--Chicago's 9 Coolest Murals.

- PureWow

Gallery isn't your everyday watering hole. The place is buzzing with musicians, artists, old dudes playing checkers, and twentysomthings downing (still $2) PBRs.

- Maggie Hennessy, Inside Hook
