Sideshow Gallery

We come here often and never leave empty handed because it’s just that good. I made a mistake the other day at the shop and the owner was so gracious and classy about it that my embarrassment evaporated. This is a true Chicago gem.

This is a great shop! I love the vibe here. They have a good selection of some unusual items. I picked up an oracle deck here that's not available anywhere else locally.

Reasons I love this place beyond words:

1. They have antique and modern oddities. Antiques are amazing, but modern versions make my collection more affordable and I am grateful.

2. Today I met the owner and she is incredible. If it weren’t for the zillion other reason that this is my favorite shop, the owner alone is enough reason to support this business.

I cannot say enough. It’s worth the trip!

This place is stunning and I come here a lot to get unique items to decorate my house with. I’ve used a few of their services and it was well worth my time. Love coming here as the vibes are good.

A fabulous shop for all things macabre, cute, and everything in between. Cheri and all of the staff are knowledgeable and such a joy. Fair pricing, scooped up these crystal and gold tea spoons.

Great variety of art, witch supplies, decor, and general curiosities/oddities. If you have someone in your life that likes “weird” stuff, they’ll annoy a gift from this shop! I’ve found many new favorite local creators because they’re stocked here, and their social media is a great place to get a heads up about upcoming local events/markets. And if you feel like you’ve missed something the first time, pop back in a couple weeks later- they’re always rearranging the store! I’ve purchased: tinctures, candles, workbooks, lighters, jewelry, tarot card decks, soap, bath salts, tea, trinkets and more! There’s always something fun and new rolling in for you to experience.

Hands down my favorite store in the city! Every time I wander in, I find new things to add to my home. I’ve been visiting Sideshow Gallery for years and years, and somehow there’s something new that surprises me every time! Over the years, I’ve bought books, crystals, oddities, statues, and even a t-shirt.

On my most recent venture, I took home this gorgeous crystal ball. I know it was difficult for them to part with, but rest assured it’s in a loving home and prominently displayed. Without a doubt, I will keep returning for years to come 🔮
