Quick take: The ABC stores of downtown Chicago Loved that the store was clean and organized. I think there were 3 of these stores within one block. I bought a very beautiful Xmas ornament and great deals on t shirts. I would recommend sizing up on the t shirts. All the shirts I bought as gifts were too small. read more

No returns allowed! Buyers beware. Went to return a few overpriced souvenirs and the lady said no returns, it says it on the receipt. Seriously?? Nowhere else in the store does it tell you no returns until you've actually bought the item and then you can see it on the receipt. So helpful... Also they have signs for buying multiple shirts and getting a discount but doesn't specify which shirts they actually applies to until you've get to the counter. Overpriced and deceiving. No thanks! read more

A lot of cute stuff at this shop. A warm and friendly place to swing in and get some Chicago swag on your trip.

This place is a rip off. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Better off going to the airport. My family was shopping in here. My in-laws bought 2 tshirts for the kids and left 5 minutes before us. We bought 2 tshirts without knowing they just bought them. When we found out right outside, I went back in and explained the situation. They told me "too bad, should have read the policy on the receipt". They never gave me one and wouldn't give me a refund. This place is a scam for tourists. read more

This was super convenient and had excellent prices for all things Chicago! I love the Windy City, and this store helps you capture that with a huge assortment of items: cups, shirts, hoodies, magnets, shot glasses, pens, candy, and a lot more!!! read more

Nice store with a variety of items that are reasonably priced. If you are looking for a gift for yourself or someone else, you shouldn't have a hard time finding something. read more

After eating our deep dish pizza at Lou Malnati's, while walking back to our hotel my coworker tells me that he needed to stop by this tourist trap souvenir shop called - "Bye Bye Chicago" to pick up something for his daughter. What can I say about - "Bye Bye Chicago"? Don't let that "SALE" sign by the door fool you as everything in this store is a wee-bit overpriced, but I won't rag on them for it, as it's just about a simple - "supply & demand" thing. You need a souvenir? Bye Bye Chicago definitely has it! To top it off, if you don't have car, and your only means of transportation is your feet, at least Bye Bye Chicago is conveniently situated in an area in downtown Chicago where you can pick something up for a loved one, without having to catch a taxi to get to a souvenir shop. Bye Bye Chicago carries the usual touristy stuff like - t-shirts, baseball caps and hats, sweatshirts, coffee mugs and cups, refrigerator magnets, and I'm pretty sure a lot more things that I missed here, Lol! Only after we left the souvenir shop, we walked a few blocks more, then we saw a "Ross Dress for Less". Aiyah!!! We should have popped into that Ross Dress for Less store to look for some souvenir DEALAGES! Lol! read more

No selection Overpriced cheaply tshirts /items Zero customer service Only purchased because I had oo bring something back from my work trip. But a super low quality t-shirt for 38 bucks is extreme read more

This store has a nice selection for any souvenir needs from Chicago. They can be a bit pricey but there are products there that are budget friendly. read more

I hate to say this as a Chicago native and as someone who loathes tourist traps but I was working nearby and was still in the market for a Chicago flag shirt. Having been to other 'Chicago' stores I found a lot of interesting designs but I wanted something a little more basic and less inventive shall we say. So, I begrudgingly went here because it was either this or a Walgreen's. They had the shirts I wanted and when I went they had a pretty decent sale so I ended up buying another one for a semi-decent price. If you work nearby and you want to pick up a Chicago themed gift this place might not be too bad. read more

Great place to purchase souvenirs. Everything is organized well and everything you could think of is here. Prices are decent compared to NY. read more

Store did have a lot of souvenirs. however, there was not a huge selection of variety. There were lots of shirts, but most of them were the same design. The pricing is ok if you need to buy a lot of items all at once and be done with it. It's also tucked a bit away in a street that seemed pretty busy. read more

I haven't seen any souvenir shops around downtown Chicago until I walked past this shop! It is very near to the millennium park, so if you are in need to find some moderately priced souvenirs for friends and family this is a nice place to go to. They have tshirts and sweatshirts that range from $16+, keychains, magnets, mugs, kitchenware, pins, shot glasses, snow globes, caps, tiny sculptures of the Willis tower, and many more. There's a wide variety to choose from and I am very happy to find this store at a very convenient location from my hotel. read more

They don't accept returns at all. Even if you come next day, with the receipt, and the item is unwashed, unworn, with tag. Unreal. They don't even have rooms to try the items on so you take your chances when you spend your money there. Go RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Chicago Sports. Bigger inventory, better service, changing rooms and they don't give you any grief if you need to return something. read more

Good area to get souvenirs. Prices are great compared to prices at the tourist attractions. Glad they have so many locations.

A one-stop tourist shop. There were a few cool/unique items, but a lot of the things can also be found other places such as navy pier and even local Walgreens. This place is definitely at least worth a peek though because there were a few unique items. Pricing was comparable to other souvenir shop items. read more

If you're going to be trying to get from point A (Hancock Center) to point B Millennium Park, you will be walking past Bye Bye Chicago. It's a total tourist trap but who can resist baby cubs gear? Well, my dorky self cannot. So I ran in there, grabbed some baby tee inscribed with "my first cubs shirt" and squeezed to the checkout. It's awfully tight in the store but they seem to have anything you may want if you were a tourist or know someone who is or someone who just loves Chicago filled stuff. I'm giving them an extra star because the guy at the register was patiently trying to "run my United Gold card" a few times and it wouldn't go through? There's a line forming around me cause there's not much room to form behind me. "What? It's a new card! Oh, yea, that's my United gold card, not my gold CREDIT CARD. Oops. Ah, here is the real credit card". He smiles, hands over the bogus card and continues with "it's OK, it happens". Yea right, it happens to me. read more

Seeing as how there are almost 0 souvenir shops near the tourist attractions, this one will suffice as its across the street from Millennium Park. The selection of goods are not extremely vast but they do have unique shot glasses which I thought were nice. They also have a decent array of Al Capone themed items. I felt this store was kind of expensive compared to other tourist traps in NY but then I need to remember, there is no major ocean port near by & transport for these goods are high when coming by rail. So I would suggest coming here because it's cheaper than what you'll find at the airport but you'll only be able to find gifts for a select few. read more

Bye Bye Chicago - Pretty cool shot glass but 6.99 - Gift Shops Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Selection isn't too big, and of course things tend to be overpriced, but I was finally able to find a basic t-shirt with the Chicago flag (I don't get those are so hard to find!), so I left a happy shopper. It's in a convenient location, which is also nice (can easily stop by on your way to Millennium Park, which I'm sure if you're a tourist you'll want to visit anyway). The staff was also friendly and helpful. read more

I walked into a gift shop get some T-shirts for the kids to take home. I saw that their prices were a little high so I walked next-door and purchased the T-shirts from a very friendly man at the souvenir shop next-door. I came back because I was going to buy myself a sweatshirt that I had seen even though it was a little pricey. When I asked for a larger size from the rack above the lower rack, one of the ladies asked her coworker in Spanish what size do you need? Her response was Gorda. Translation: Fat. I'm a white woman but I speak a little Spanish. When I confronted them on what they said, they looked like two idiots in the headlights. I asked them what they said and they both stumbled over a response denying what I heard. I walked out... I've never been so taken aback by someone's ignorance and stupidity. These ladies seriously need to be fired or held accountable for their actions. The owner should have a secret shopper come in to see who they've hired and the lack of professionalism, kindness and horrible customer service. I'd leave a zero star if I could. One star is too high. read more

They have a good variety of stuff right on miracle mile which is a plus. Your won't find anything less than $5 so if you planning on taking for a lot of people it will get expensive.There's two other stores right next to it the sports and anothe souvenir store both also pricey. I found the same shot glasses in the navy pier souvenir store for cheaper. But if you can't make it this is your best shot at getting reasonable price souvenirs read more

You guys need to use your AC unit, you have your customers and employees sweating in the middle of the summer!!!

I would like to give Jonny Gieselman Buyer, a shout-out for the way my purchase problem was resolved. I brought a pretty pink flask as a Christmas gift. However when I returned home to Portland Oregon and removed the purchase tag..there remained the sticky glue substance from the purchase tag and could not remove the glue without damaging the flask. I returned the flask with a request to replace it and along with my postage cost. Jonny immediately sent back to me both a new flask without a purchase tag and the cost of my postage. I appreciate the way Bye Bye Chicago resolve customer complaints and will shop their whenever I go to "The Windy City". read more

I felt like these stores were kind of everywhere in downtown. Cute stuff for tourists to purchase as souvenirs. Since it's on the main street, you will come upon this shop while walking from the museum or Millenium park to any riverboat tour you plan on taking. This place is overflowing with just stuff and it's all under one roof so once you walk in, you're pretty much going to buy at least 1 item from here. read more

My daughter found the "perfect" Chicago sweatshirt, it wasn't at "tourist shop" rip-off prices and service was good. You know what you're getting when you walk in the door you just need to make the decision of what you walk out with! read more

So I went in here looking for a souvenir, and as I'm putting a $9 dollar toy cart back, the short little man who works there accuses me of stealing it! Mind you, it was $9 dollars! When I went back and confronted him, he was very defensive and rude and didn't admit it. I would recommend anywhere but this establishment! Should really learn some manners. read more

Came here on our last day in Chicago, and so glad we did! It's not a huge shop, but it definitely had good stuff. I bought a mug, keychain, and a couple magnets. Wish I had bought a tshirt too, but next time. Decent priced for sure, and the guys working there were very nice. Im surprised there arent more reviews about this place! One things for sure, I will defintely go back on my next trip to Chicago! read more

My daughter and I visited Chicago for a day on the way through. Alas we missed getting deep dish, so on the return we found Bye Bye Chicago at Ohare Airport. We weren't disappointed. Had amazing deep dish as we watched the planes outside. Check it out! read more

Good souvenir store! They do have a variety of different items which is appreciated. It's located close to the river, so if you're staying on any hotels by there it's only about a 5 min walk! read more

Need trinkets that say Chicago? You're in luck. Kids' shirts, adult shirts, nothing plus sized. From key chains to snow globes to sweatshirts to glass thingy-ma-bobbers, you're all set. A bit on the expensive side but quality seems somewhat above average compared to most trinket shops. read more

Better selection than the competition and the prices are what you'd expect. Better than any other shop in the immediate vicinity for Chicago memorabilia that isn't sports-related. read more
