Scout
Urban antique shop
About
The smell of aged wood and old paper hits you as you enter Scout, an urban antique shop in Andersonville that feels like a minimalist maze. Every corner holds a treasure: vintage furniture, second-hand clothing, quirky gifts, and accessories that whisper stories from another era. The staff are knowledgeable and pleasant, always ready to help you find that perfect piece to revamp your home. It's a place for those who wake up hating their decor and need a refresh.
Scout is open Thursday through Sunday, 11am to 6pm, so plan your visit accordingly. The shop is warm and welcoming, with a mixed-gay-straight crowd that appreciates well-curated vintage. Prices are moderate, and you'll find everything from antique dressers to one-of-a-kind art. For a full afternoon, pair a stop at Scout with Unabridged Bookstore just down the street.
Scout is located in Andersonville, Chicago's historic Swedish neighborhood known for its LGBTQ+ friendly shops, restaurants, and community vibe.
