About this place Scout

Scout is an antique and vintage furniture shop at 5221 North Clark Street in Andersonville, the north-side Chicago neighbourhood with a long LGBTQ+ history and a strong independent-shop strip. It's listed as gay-friendly, and it sells vintage furniture, one-off pieces and odd decorative objects for the home. It opens Thursday to Sunday, 11:00-18:00, and is closed Monday to Wednesday. It rates 4.7 on Google from about 50 reviews. Older copy put it in Boystown, but it's in Andersonville, a 10-minute bus ride north up Clark Street, so pair it with lunch or a drink on the same strip.

I visited Scout Antiques with friends recently. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and there’s a diverse range of all sorts of interesting treasures. I bought a late 19thc Empire Style sofa, but unfortunately did not notice until after delivery that one of the front legs was broken and poorly repaired, which I should have been made aware of, but was not.

I walked into Scout on a whim looking for a bar cart. What I found was a welcoming, knowledgeable staff, with a fantastic curated collection. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Scout with easily become my go to place for interesting and eclectic finds.
