Chicago is becoming a hotspot for television and movie filming. Last year alone, 13 shows were actively filming all around the city, including both new and long-running series.
We’ve done some of the legwork and created this easy guide to some of the locations you’ll recognize from your favorite TV shows filmed in Chicago.
I remember joking when the 3 series first came on ‘what’s next, Chicago Streets and Sanitation?’ It’s not just garbage, it’s PLOWING snow!
Chicago PD filming locations
District 21 Police Station
Chicago PD is often filmed in the Pilsen neighborhood around 18th Street. Chicago PD’s District 21 is filmed at the UIC Police Headquarters at 943 W. Maxwell St.
It’s a real working police station , so don’t anticipate strolling in for a tour, but the exterior is always good for a selfie. It’s also right around the corner from the Chicago Fire firehouse.
Chicago Fire filming locations
The Chicago Fire Department Engine 18 is a working firehouse that doubles as Firehouse 51 in Chicago Fire. While most interior scenes are filmed on a set, all the exterior shots are filmed at the station at 1360 S. Blue Island Avenue. It’s a must-see for fans of the show — you might even catch some of the stars in action!
Chicago Med filming locations
Gaffney Medical Center
When you see your favorite characters clearing their heads on the roof? It’s part of the Rush University Medical Center, which is the home base for the show. The hospital, which stands in for the Gaffney Medical Center on the show, is located at 1653 W. Congress Parkway.
Graceland Cemetery
In a graveside ceremony, the characters found themselves in Graceland Cemetery at 4001 N. Clark St. It’s worth the trip to the city’s north side – the graveyard is host to the resting places of so many interesting people. Architects, public figures, baseball and boxing greats, and famous inventors are among some of the noteworthy names buried here.
Molly’s Pub
At the end of a long day, the Chicago Med crew heads to Molly’s (or Lottie’s as Chicagoans know it). While scenes are no longer filmed here, stopping into the neighborhood pub feels like you’re walking onto the #OneChicago set. The characters of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD have also been known to grab a pint at this Bucktown favorite.
