  Don't get me wrong, this place is great, but the clothing prices are rather egregious. I figured they would be since it's a specialty store in Chicago and all, but I was still hoping the shop would have more affordable options that weren't $50+ for a non-Alley branded piece of clothing. Then while I love the shirt I got (one of the few Alley branded shirts that didn't look like it was made with ai - weird choice for an alt store btw), I noticed once I got home that there is a hole where the tag was. It's small and I can sew it up, but still...I live four hours away and can't just quickly drive back to replace it. I'll come back eventually, though! This place was really cool.

  This is our second time visiting this place and we have had a great experience. The staff were great and hyper friendly. When you need school clothes for your little devils this is a great place to start.

  Super cool that we have a punk/alternative space for shirts, accessories, dresses, and jewelry. They have so many jackets and shirts and a whole room of just The Alley branded clothing. Their items are a little pricy but in many alt clothing stores that’s what you’ll find. I was a little underwhelmed with the quality of the jewelry and wished they had more variety and more affordable pieces, but again it’s a cool place to check out. Rock on, Alley!
