The Alley Chicago

Touristy or not, this is one shop that this Chicago girl will always be going to. Not only can you find a nice variety of alternative styled clothing the prices are ridiculously low.

It's perfect for all those hard to find items we all love and as of recent my favorite tobacco shop has moved in there too! \m/ blue Havana rules

Exploring the city w/ friends 1st day w my drivers lic.. Coming to #TheAlleyChicago since they had the man getting electrocuted in the alley window, which freaked us out (1998.) We were impressed.

I've had nothing but good experiences at the alley. & It's the staff at a punk rock store, what'd you expect? Go back to Bloomingdales.

Downstairs is the best stuff. Check out the drawers below the displays.

Its touristy and everything can be bought online. However you never find these selections in stores anywhere. Also body jewelry is great.

It’s the old school version of the Topic. They try and copy the alley but don’t succeed.

This place isn't what it used to be... But still had a decent collection of alternative apparel and accessories . Staff never was very friendly .

This place is awesome! They have something for everyone.

Here's a tip -- go to the fucking alley (yeah, they probably have a shirt that says that already) Read more

Tshirts. Shoes . Goth merchandise. Gargoyle statues .

Clothes run small! Buy a bigger size if you are unsure. Exchanges only, no returns, and no returns or exchanges on discounted items.

Ask for one of the Mikes to help with piercing. Super helpful!

One of the koolest stores ever.

Who closes at 7:30 on a Monday?!

Got a Gr8t T-shirt......Free!!!!! Planning 2 return, 2 git a tattoo O_o

Belmont & Clark if you dare

Buy yourself a new septum ring.

checking out some clothing and whatnot

DONT GO HERE. They own the parking lot SCAM in front of Dunkin Donuts .

And this place wonders why they don't make a profit? Zero customer service, employees are rude, rude, ruuuuude.

Rude rude rude
