About
The Gallery Cabaret has been operating in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood since 1988. According to owner, Ken Strandberg, the Gallery Cabaret harkens back to a time when “you could walk into a joint, buy a drink, and enjoy live entertainment like comedy or music just for being there and being a patron.” The Gallery has offered free entertainment 7 nites per week since it opened. Over time, many up and comers have graced the stage, like The Smashing Pumpkins, Urge Overkill, Material Issue and Liz Phair (while they were still up and comers!). The Gallery has also hosted numerous comedy acts and poetry readings and slams. Every month, local artists have their work on display at the Gallery. Currently, we also offer cable TV including your favorite sports, until prior to showtime. We also have Golden Tee Golf. Can’t wait for music to start? We have TouchTunes internet jukebox with access to 1000’s of songs.
