After searching for a unique, affordable place to have my Dad’s 50th birthday party, I came across this gem in Pilsen. This 1500 square foot space functions as an art gallery, so beautiful art adorns the walls. The interior has a raw, minimalist vibe to it, which is refreshing. In the center of the gallery, there’s a bar with about 6 or 7 stools. Also, there are a couple flat screen tv’s and stereo system with a microphone that we used for karaōke at the end of the night.
In short — we had a blast! This space is very affordable, plenty of parking, beautiful vintage space and the staff (who actually live in the building) were really nice/​helpful. Oh, and it’s also run completely by wind power too!

After moving around a few times, Ugly Step Sister Art Gallery has found a permanent home located at 1750 S. Union Avenue, conveniently situated right off the expressway in the heart of Pilsen’s Art District. The beautiful, newly renovated gallery is committed to showcasing emerging visual artists and the space is also available for event rental. I encourage anyone interested in art to have a look. They are open every 2nd Friday of the month from 6−11pm, or by appointment.
