But before they arrive, Lip chats with one of his neighbors, Shelby (Christopher Guyton) who’s interested in buying the Gallagher lot. At the bar, he talks to Ian about the $75,000 offer, which means $15,000 for each of the Gallagher kids. Ian tells Lip it’s his decision and he can have Ian’s share to help with the bills. There, Frank mistakes a nurse, played by the actor’s real-life daughter Sophia Macy, for Fiona (Emmy Rossum).

Clicking around through the website, fans are able to read tweets that are hashtagged “Shameless Last Call,” as well as view an end-of-the-series panel discussion with the cast and creator of Shameless, hosted by interviewer Stacey Wilson Hunt. At the very heart of the Showtime series was the Gallagher family and the home they shared together. In order to properly have a “last call,” Shameless dropped an interactive website called Gallagher House After Party. Like most other house locations, the interior filming is from Warner Bros. Kevin and Veronica and very close neighbors to the Gallagher family but are problematic on their own. If show fans are in the South Side neighborhood, they can spot the house easily.

Shameless Cast To Unite at Virtual Gallagher Home for a Farewell Event

It’s kind of amusing watching fans that get so into a story that they want to go to certain spots and see specific areas where a character did this, where a situation happened, or even just visit a city where a movie or TV show was shot to say they’ve been there. Fans are sometimes a weird bunch as a lot of us should know by now since we tend to value certain things in the entertainment industry in a way that’s almost manic at times and downright disturbing at others. When pulling back just enough to take a realistic look at the movies and TV shows that we idolize so much it’s enough to make us wonder why since some of the characters we enjoy are some of the worst people to ever be created, like Frank Gallagher. While you can’t say that the family as a whole are a band of angels, Frank is by far the worst and has been on a path of destruction for a while now. As Gabrielle Bernardini of Distractify puts it, the owner is actually pretty cool with the whole idea of people coming around and taking pictures, though it shouldn’t need to be said that people need to respect the owner’s privacy and not take her kindness for granted.

Steve Carell Joins Tina Fey in Netflix Comedy Series ‘Four Seasons’

Shameless House After Party is an interactive website with hidden production stills, behind-the-scenes videos, and a heavily detailed 3D tour of the Gallagher House, a staple for the series since its very beginning. Another cherished Gallagher partner is Tami Tamietti (Kate Miner), the long-term girlfriend of Lip Gallagher (Jeremy Allen White) and mother of his children. While she never enjoyed living as an outsider in the Gallagher house, she always seemed up for the challenges that the family brought. Fiona previously worked in the club as a waitress but later became a party promoter, bringing new challenges to her life. The whole exterior and interior of the store came into being by utilizing a set in the Backlot of Warner Bros Burbank Studios.

Where Was Shameless Actually Filmed?

Showtime has just announced the “Shameless Gallagher House Party,” a virtual farewell experience available for all fans to connect with the cast post-series finale, on April 11 at 10/9c. Unfortunately for those hoping for a Chicago-based shoot, the rest of the series was filmed in LA, notably on the Warner Bros. backlot. Believe it or not, real people live in that little house on 2119 South Homan Avenue.

Warner Bros studio lot holds the keys to the bar that’s rumored to be modeled after Moe’s bar in The Simpsons. The Shameless house actually belongs to a woman who has lived in the home for over 40 years. She and the neighbors work hard to keep their area looking nice, and the show restored the look of the house after every filming session. Though the show sets the Shameless house in a place known as Canaryville, that’s not really where the house stands. While the area has deep Irish-Catholic roots and a working-class, it does not have “L” trains running through the neighborhood as shown on TV. Once one clicks “explore the house” — a button that is seen on the top of the front page, they are guided to an interactive experience where they can click through the Gallaghers’ living room, bathroom and kitchen while a Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy) voiceover plays.

Golden House Restaurant & Pancake House turns into Patsy’s Pies for the fifth season of Shameless. Boulevard3 was a popular club with good music and drinks, with a lot of indoor and outdoor space to freely enjoy. The Milkovich house, in the series, is owned by Mandy and Micky. This is an actual house present at 1955 S Trumbull Avenue in Chicago.

They also film outside the places representing Liam Gallagher’s school and the Gallagher home, which are near Douglas Park. Although Shameless is set in the Southside of Chicago, it is filmed almost entirely in LA. According to Chicago Film Office director Richard Moskal, the production visits Chicago two or three times each year.

The series follows the story of Frank Gallagher, a drunk with six children who suffer because of him. His eldest child, Fiona, takes on the responsibility of caring for everyone. Although it is believed the building has normal occupants, it isn't confirmed. When scenes are not being filmed there, the production company does its best to keep the building attractive to appease the neighbors, as seen in the photo many flaws such as the rusted fencing are cleaned up. Meanwhile, Ian and Mickey are deciding which items to take from the Gallagher house for their West Side apartment, and as they move some furniture into their vehicle, Ian asks him if the date is the 20th or 21st, hinting at something Mickey doesn’t seem catch onto. Instead, Mickey’s focusing on a special event at the Alibi that night.

While they may be happy to provide a photo-op for fans, asking them to accommodate a year-round filming schedule probably wouldn't have been very considerate of them or their privacy. Nevertheless, the scenes that were filmed in the "Gallagher" home show that the series' creators did care about authenticity when it came to showing off Chicago in "Shameless," even if the whole production couldn't take place there. As some fans will no doubt be delighted to hear, there are plenty of sections in "Shameless" that were actually filmed in Chicago. According to DNAinfo, the Gallagher family house is a real house in Chicago — though it's actually located in the city's Northern end, not the Southside. The production crew, along with the stars, usually traveled to the Windy City several times throughout the year to film certain scenes. The real owners of the Gallaghers' house even have a sign out front, informing "Shameless" fans that they are welcome inside the gate and are allowed to take pictures on the porch (via Distractify).

You look at your house on TV, and it’s weird,” Vivian Bell told DNAinfo. The stay-at-home grandmother has lived in the “Gallagher” home for 40 years. You can’t go inside the house, as people actually live there when the show isn’t filming. If you want to see where all the Gallaghers were rumored to have been born on the kitchen table, you’ll have to direct your road trip towards Chicago.

Although Shameless is coming to an end, it looks like the homeowners might offer this perk to fans for years to come. However, the majority of the show is filmed in the Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank, California. However, she describes her home as much tidier than the one on TV. What better way to honor the show’s 11-season run than with a virtual bash worthy of the Gallagher title? While the antics of the Gallagher family will be missed on our screens, it’s only fair that this crew goes out with a Shameless celebration. As fans were distracted with the video, the Shameless team worked to get the website up and running, void of any crash.

However, visitors to Illinois can visit the warm decor of the real restaurant in downtown St. Charles. While many of the locations that Shameless mentions are places in Chicago, Patsy’s Pies is not one. The cafe that Fiona Gallagher ran for so long is based on a real site called Patsy’s Place. However, when the exterior of the restaurant is shown, it is the real-life Golden House Restaurant.

As the episode wrapped up, his family was celebrating at the Alibi while he was dying in the hospital. No one was alerted to his status, just as no one found the note he’d left before shooting up in the penultimate episode. The audience, though, was treated to his words, as Macy read them in voiceover.

If you want to be as close as possible to the Shameless house, you can live it up at Camp Bullfrog Lake. You can get an RV or tent site, a cabin, or even a bunkhouse to act as a home base while you’re on your Shameless house road trip. They have moved the YouTube video but fans still have the opportunity to virtually explore the beloved Gallagher home here, which will remain available beyond the finale event.

Check out these suggestions before you head to your Airbnb app. Way back in season one of Shameless, Fiona got a housekeeping job at a hotel. Joining executive producer and showrunner John Wells for the event are cast members William H. Macy, Jeremy Allen White, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Emma Kenney, Cameron Monaghan, Christian Isaiah, Noel Fisher, and Kate Miner.
