About Ukrainian American Citizens' Association (Ukie Club on Franklin)
The Ukrainian American Citizens' Association (Ukie Club on Franklin) is a historic social organization established in 1909. It offers a space for cultural events, recreational activities, and a green area for the community. The club features a bar and patio open to members. Visitors can enjoy the outdoor space during events like the Spooky Ukie Market. The club also hosts concerts and brunch, which is open to both members and non-members. The brunch menu includes traditional Ukrainian dishes such as varenyky, kielbasa, soups, crepes, cabbage rolls, and potato pancakes. While the club welcomes all, it serves as a gathering place for Ukrainian-Americans, fostering a sense of community. It's important to note that the club operates on a cash-only basis.
underground venue was BEAUTIFUL. bar fully stocked, space, and there were chairs along the wall if you needed a seat. complementary cold water. also ladies, the bathroom was 10/10 with complementary menstrual products, bandaids,even hand lotion. wish the stage was bigger, tho.
Went for a show to see Open Mike Eagle and Clipping and was pleasantly surprised by the space as a concert venue. From how easy it was to move around to overall acoustics and bar prices, I'll absolutely be back for another show.
This is a great venue for artists that have a smaller draw than other larger bands might bring in. The sound was pretty good and the bartenders were fast. Security and staff in general were on point. Don’t sleep on this place!
