About this business

Gallery Cabaret is a cushy, though somewhat narrow, Bucktown neighborhood bar and art gallery. Bands perform here several nights a week. Local celebrity blues acts and lounge pianists Ben & Pepper regularly make appearances, and Pepper's art also frequently adorns the walls. Gallery Cabaret has a good selection of beer, though be forewarned—prices are more expensive on weekends. You can also order pizza, if hunger calls. Admission varies.

If you havent been here lately youve got... read more

An Oasis and Good People – I highly recommend the open mics on Thursdays and Sundays... it can be an interesting experience. There are regular perfomers who are definately a break from the yuppification of Wicker Park.

Local bands sometimes take the stage at this Bucktown joint. – The Scene The wall behind the bar teems with the owner's collection of (what appears to be) amateur artworks, while the wall opposite holds a monthly showcase of the works of a featured local artist. A magazine rack with back issues of Rolling Stone and a game of pinball also number among the distractions at this Bucktown spot. According to a bartender, Chicago powerhouses Liz Phair, Smashing Pumpkins and Red Red Meat used to play here way back when. These days t... read more

Cool Dive – I've been here a couple times to see a friend's band play and I've always enjoyed it. The sound is terrible, but the bar has the feel of a good dive. Overall a cool experience.
