It is impossible to walk in without walking out with some special item. I don't think I've ever walked out with only one thing since there are so many wonderful items. When I haven't been able to get there in person the owner, Vicky, has been kind enough to help me shop over the phone. I only wish I lived closer. If you are anywhere near St Joseph Michigan be sure to stop in Gallery on the Alley. You won't be disappointed.

This is a wonderful shop with gorgeous furniture! They specialize in Mission Oak and Craftsman…read morepieces and have high end pieces rarely found, especially so many all in one shop together. I love this type of furniture, so I enjoy looking around, but the prices are high. I found a couple of Mission Oak footstools I would have loved to have bought, but they were in the $400-500 range - for a simple footstool. Granted, not easy to find and in good shape, but that was more than I was willing to pay. Shop is located in St. Joseph, which is traditionally a wealthy area (Whirlpool Corporation is here, so be sure to notice the who-needs-a-house-that-big mansions along the lakeshore if you drive by). St. Joseph is a tourist and summer home area for people with money. The furniture here is desirable, beautiful, and hard to find. Those factors create high prices that others can and will pay. As for we middle class types, we continue to rummage out of the way antiques shops in hopes of a lucky find.

Emily did an amazing job.  My best friend and I loved our tattoos so much we are already looking into our next tattoo with her.  She told us both all about keeping them nice looking, which we knew but I find it helpful to always be reminded after every tattoo.  Since mine is behind the ear she had a few instructions about keeping it away from shampoo and keeping my hair up to help it stay clean and get air. Thanks for a great experience

There is a large bar and they have an extensive list of rotating taps of house-brewed microbrews. My husband had the Livery Lite, reasonably priced at $5. I had the house made seltzer with blueberry lemonade flavor. They are known for their pizzas, so we each ordered a slice. My husband had an Italian Sausage and I have Goat Cheese with Herbs. The slices were large, but the pizza was disappointing. It was a thin, crispy crust with seasoning. Since the pizza was already made and being warmed in a warmer the flavors were not as robust and the cheese was not melted or gooey. If the pizza was fresh from the oven I am sure it would have been better. There is a large indoor space and outdoor beer garden. There is a stage for live events.

They have a large selection for any palate, and wine too. They have a great food menu but we did not try anything. I saw on Facebook where they make asparagus soup! If in the area and need some food and beer, give them a try. They get bands throughout the year, and the variety sounded good.

An elderly woman (who typically is seen working there) is constantly nagging customers about theft, as well as falsely accusing customers of theft. Every time you walk into the store you are heavily monitored, which makes most people uncomfortable whilst trying to shop.
