Spread over two floors, Broadway Antique Market has an incredible, curated selection of vintage furniture, collectibles, housewares, and everything in between. Prices are consistently high compared to online sellers and other area antique shops, but the quality of pieces and unique objects is hard to beat.
Amazing collection, and a great antique destination in the city, but be prepared to spend $$$, should you decide to buy

Awesome antique mall! Two stories, lots of antique furniture and trinkets, all in great condition. Items aren’t overpriced and there’s a lot of great history for sale here!
I specifically wanted to highlight the staff at this location. You see, I had left my wallet somewhere amongst the treasure trove of items in the store. Two employees walked around the store with me to help me find it. They were extremely kind and helpful.

Extraordinary determination of collectible/vintage furniture notwithstanding an abundance of other wonderful segments - garments, cameras, typewriters, Chicago explicit stuff, film banners, and so forth Costs are likewise lovely sensible for the kinds of collectibles you're finding there. Profoundly propose looking at it in case you're a fanatic of antiquing!

I can spend hours decorating my future home with the uniquely crafted antiques found at Broadway Antique Market. The items are neat, sleek, and displayed so well you would want to buy everything. From large pieces of furniture to 90's cookbooks there is so much you can find here for a great price. Also as of 8/2021 masks are required for entry which I think is very important since I spent almost an hour walking around. I felt much safer knowing that the staff is looking out for the well-being of all.

Prices are absolutely absurd. Everything is overpriced. Good selection on records and old furniture and clothes, but awful prices on all collectibles. Called if they had any Hot Wheels and they said “we don’t have a ton but we have a couple” me having experienced that “a couple” means 1 or 2 booths have hot wheels. (That’s just what I’ve experienced in my antique hunting). Show up and ask again, this time “ooooh that’s a tough one” showed me a booth with 1 TUPPERWARE TUB WITH LESS THAN 20 HOT WHEELS FROM THE 2010s FOR FIVE FREAKING DOLLARS EACH!!!! NOT EVEN IN THE PACKAGE! They

Great selection of antique/vintage furniture in addition to a wealth of other awesome sections - clothes, cameras, typewriters, Chicago specific stuff, movie posters, etc. Prices are also pretty reasonable for the types of antiques you're finding there. Highly suggest checking it out if you're a fan of antiquing!

Love this place so much! Two large floors of antiques and vintage finds. Reminds me of all the places in Los Angeles and Long Beach I used to go picking at. You can source items and furnishings for clients here. It's a great assortment of modernist furniture, jewelry, decor and trinkets. You will definitely find something interesting here.
This is a great place that I'm sure interior designers go to find furniture they want to take to a fabricator and have reupholstered and either refinish the wood and or have new plating done in chrome/brass, Etc. They have a selection of various art

This place is amazing. I always stop in when I have a couple hours to kill. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.
Prices are great and they work with you recommending movers to get bigger pieces delivered. Once one of the dealers overheard me trying to figure out how to get a bigger purchase home and offered to drop it off because we lived in the same neighborhood! When would that happen in New York?!?
They're only open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays now, so that takes a little planning but it's worth it.
Now matter what you're looking for, if it's vintage chances

Love this place! SO much cool stuff...antique to vintage to mid-century. Nice source of decor, furniture, vintage clothes, kitsch, posters, jewelry...you get the idea. NO junk. Owners and staff are outstanding. Example: I was looking for a unique, single wineglass for a mismatched set. The owner found several for me, immediately!! Thanks for a great experience every time I'm there.

This is one of the most unique places I've been to in Chicago. It's a true hidden gem, considering I pass it all the time (usually when it's already closed) and only recently decided to go in. I love its almost nostalgic "museum" vibe, and I could see spending well over an hour looking around at everything. The staff lets you browse and doesn't bother you, and if you need help they're happy to answer questions or open the glass cases.

Without a doubt, the best antique store in the Chicago area. Located in a former Art Deco furniture store with a charming terra-cotta facade, Broadway Antique Market is filled with mid-century modern, nostalgic kitsch and Art Deco objects and furniture. It's not often that I can walk out of their store without a treasure in hand. And Danny, Jeff, Eric and the entire BAM staff are always at your service to help with knowledgeable advice and your purchase.
Recycling and buying vintage is good for the environment! Don't waste your time or money at Target, IKEA, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn

Update;
Thanks for your response. It might be helpful if your cashiers mentioned the "24 hour approval" policy (this was news to me). I had the lamp for roughly 7 hours before I determined it wasn't a fit.
You mentioned refunds were not possible since you 'payed vendors immediately'. Maybe CUSTOMERS should be more of a priority?

Don't waste your time here. The selection is ok but the customer service is awful. The owner is gruff and unwelcoming which negatively affected the shopping experience. There are better antique stores in the city with similar or better quality items. As much as I would like to support neighborhood shops like this, I can can overlook the product selection - that can change - but the rude customer service makes this store a disappointment.

Been here multiple times, and it never ceases to amaze me how unhelpful and rude the staff is. Owners, employees, booth vendors...everyone. Like someone killed their dog and then told them to take it out on anyone who rolled through the door. If you want overpriced, average finds with a LARGE attitude, then this is your place. Lighten up BAM, you're not that big of a deal!

An antique stored filled to the brim on two (2) floors. There are many items, there surely is some kind of treasure that would fit your individual taste and needs. The store reminded me of the old Studio V (vee) which was located at 672 N. Dearborn and closed shortly after the owner passed away in 1999, but on a much larger scale.
Lots of Art Deco items in this store. Art Deco was really big around 1986, it was highly sought after at that time. Not sure about demand since then. It works well in a city environment.
I purchased a St. George silver plated icon for $18 which they mislabeled
