Unfortunately, we cannot allow pets inside the shop in accordance with the health code. The Understudy does allow trained medical service animals. Please note that The Understudy and the City of Chicago do not classify emotional support animals as medical service animals, and therefore we are not allowed to permit them in the shop. Dog owners may always ring the doorbell at our side window to order from the cafe, and, weather permitting, all dogs are welcome on our sidewalk patio!
