Salvage One is an absolute gem of a venue! With incredible light and vintage furniture and other items available for your use everywhere, this 3 story warehouse is unique as can be and a playground for photographers (and your event!)! Not only is the antique store aspect neat, the exposed brick makes for a beautiful backdrop with just the right amount of character and the high ceilings make the space feel like a wonderland to be explored. Plus, the staff is kind and easy to work with. Dream come true. We cant wait to photograph here again!
Cool warehouse antiques place and actual wedding hall and music venue.If youre looking for very old and old style windows, doors and the such this is the place.
Lots of oversized items. Less exterior architectural details than I had hoped. Nothing spoke to me.
Wonderful store/venue! Salvaged architecture and furniture in a setting allowing for performance and mystique.
Amazing event space and would highly recommend for a unique gathering spce. If looking to shop, there is not as much for sales/reclaim as their used to be.
Fun an interesting. A true salvage expedition, most everything I saw needed restoration.
Fun to walk through and look at lots of old stuff. Looking for doors, sinks, an antique toilet and other items to restore the 1895 birthplace home of Walt Disney.
This place was awesome to experience. We came for a wedding but had to explore the store. Salvage heaven! Vintage wonderful!
Attended a Concert by Candlelight Jazz evening here last night. What an enchanting evening and a fantastic venue. It can only be described as enchanting and magical - the outdoor space was beautiful, filled with hundreds of candles.The indoor space is eclectic and filled with fabulous antiques for sale.
A gallery of artwork and furnishings from old demolished buildings. A fun trip down memory lane. Want your own gargoyle? Its here. Mostly rare items. Prices reasonable considering the rarity and wackiness. Also a great event space.
Incredible, whether you are looking for quirky antiques, fab furniture, or want to throw an amazing event/wedding/party there, Salvage One is your place.
WOW! JUST WOW! The pictures should pretty much sum up the awesome atmosphere of this place. Great finds!
HORRIBLE!!!^*^THEY HAD ASKED ME TO COME IN FOR AN INTERVIEW, THEN NOT OPEN THE DOOR AFTER I RANG SEVERAL TIMES, WASTING MY TIME, AND GAS!!!^*^NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!^*^WISH THAT I CAN GIVE THEM 0 STARS!!!^*^#@!^*
Beautiful venue, professional people cant wait to get married there.
Was a really cool wedding venue but some dude who works there or owns it, idc, started literally yelling at us as soon as we walked in the building about masks. I get it, but speak to people with respect and keep that dude out of the bridal suite!
Really unique selection of antiques and interesting old items. Give yourself some time to fully explore the large area. Great space to host an event.
Went here for a wedding. Such a cool venue. Lots of unique antique finds. Prices were pretty high, but probably normal for Chicago.
Place is huge. Three floors of awesome odds and ends. Would highly recommend checking out.
I went for a Candelight concert, and it was AMAZING (Metropolis String Quartet and Fever, check them out), but theres some really interesting, and nice-looking, furniture.
Salvage One is an antique store that doubles as an event venue. Its really unique and these pictures are of the hidden courtyard where they are partnered with the Fever app to host Candlelight concerts. We went to see the Miles Davis rendition.
Such a cool venue for the Candlelight: From Bach to The Beatles concert. Would love to come back during regular business hours to peruse their store.
Recently went here for engagement photos. Unfortunately, our photographer was running late but salvage one really went, what I considered to be, above and beyond. Rather than charging us for the time we reserved, they did not start charging us until our photographer arrived and were very generous in offering us extra time to stay later when they most definitely did not have to. I highly recommend giving them your business! Thank you Salvage One!
Always a great spot to visit!
Salvage one is a fantastic Antique shop in Chicago for anything big and original to Chicago. Little known venue as well, PERFECT for an ultra unique Wedding
We watched the Metropolis String Quartet in this cozy, intimate location. We will be back.
Beautiful space full of antiques for sale. Also a great event space!
Incredible venue! Makes for a great event, great memories and great photos! Maison catering is amazing. They know the venue inside and out, decorate it beautifully, and clean up better than it was when they started. Memorable, wonderful place to have a wedding!!
Beautiful antiques. Great place for a find. I attended a company event here. They served delicious appetizers.
Wife did a craft show here and was well done. Can be tough to load in through the alley, especially when packed with crafters.
Found exactly we wanted. Very nice people and wonderful items to choose from. I really want to throw a party here too.
It has evolved into a event venue. Not a whole lot to choose from, unless you want doors and windows. Not very knowledgeable.
Great space for markets, really incredible 3rd level with old furniture and objects ripe for artist work.
Very fun antique shop- large selection of furniture and one of a kind pieces. Great wedding venue (they were setting up for one while we were there!) also, my friend proposed to his girlfriend here, and the staff were very kind, friendly, warm and accommodating to help my friends dream come true! Thanks to them, we had a great place despite rain changing our plans!!!
Great place to visit. Lots of great items.
To the owner: Please put up a sign that you have loose dogs at your store! It will be helpful to know in advance that you don’t welcome parents at your store or care about a frightened kid scratched by the dogs!!
This venue is great! I recently choose this venue for an event with 300+ people. The quirky wall displays and items placed everywhere really make for a neat atmosphere. All of our guests were totally into it and we recieved numerous complements! The staff was also great to work with. We worked with Brandy and she was so helpful every step of the way.
Its a weird venue. Its interesting, but the first floor is an antique store which is odd for an event venue. The second floor is much better for an event. The bars were nice, but a bit slow. The staff isnt the best at handling loud guests, they ended up adding to the situation rather than helping anything. Overall it was an interesting experience...
Cool place, came here for a concert. Would like to come back and shop. Vintage furniture, unique home accessories, entertainment venue, etc.
Attended a Fever concert with Chicago Soul Spectacular in the Salvage One courtyard. Beautiful well planned venue and excellent tight musicians performing Miles Davis Quintet music. Social distancing was built into this outdoor space.
Fantastic place, 100% accomodating, great venue with multiple floors.when we had our wedding there for our son, it felt like we owned the place. can do anything you want in any room or floor.great place, and very unique. also, they are acomodating on bringing in alcohol and they work with you to get you back the unopened bottles to Binneys (highly recommended for alcohol).
Amazing space - concert was fantastic
When it came for me and my partner to get a venue for our Chicago wedding, we had a list of 20 that eventually got whittled down to 4. We visited them all on the same day and Salvage One instantly charmed us. We knew without question that this is where we wanted our wedding to be and Colleen and the staff there made it as smooth a process as possible. They made sure we caught up on our paperwork, handled last-minute day-of issues as they happened, and throughout the whole process even made us feel like we were the only clients they had (even though their bookings are solid for months on end!). It was a personal touch they gave that made us feel like we picked the right place, and everyone who attended was in awe. Its personality defined our day and we wouldnt trade it for anything else in the world.Thanks, Salvage One!
Awesome wedding venue. Standard loft event space, but done very well. The antique, art space was a very unexpected added bonus. LOVED IT. Made for a beautiful wedding space and, although its the trend, I still found it quite unique.
I was at Salvage One recently for a private event, and not for shopping, but the space is incredible! Rooms and rooms of random salvaged items for your home. The way everything is displayed is very cool and gives off an oddities vibe.If you are looking for a space to hold an event, I would highly recommend Salvage One. Its large and unique!
Ive been here two years in a row for Brew Years Eve, and its such a cool building! Filled with antiques and odd sculptures, its a great place to go to a cool event and hear some music on the second floor!
This place was awesome first time there me and my wife attended her cousins wedding this evening yay congrats to the newlyweds #RICKY& KELLY PADILLA...
Was there for a wedding. Reminded me of a hoarders basement. Dark and filthy. If anyone does go, make sure your tetanus shots are up to date just in case there is something that cuts you. No room to move around, No organization of products, way overpriced, $750 for a broken vise.
During the day this multi-level store sells vintage furniture, fixtures and oddities. There are definitely some one-of-a-kind finds to be had but theyre a bit pricey. At night and on the weekends, it turns into a truly unique venue that stands out in the sea of loft spaces. Be sure to check out the backyard space that features a bathtub water fixture.
Weird place. A lot of space, but only has giant items like an ornate pair of 9 ft elephants? Or a haggard 60s style bar? And the staff was non-existent. Beautiful as a reception hall, tho. I get why they do that.
We visited for a potential wedding venue... to say the least, it certainly is right for the “right” individual. For my wife and I, it couldn’t have been more opposite of who we are. Seemed directly, too eclectic, and chaotic. I guess if you’re into that, it’s right for you... just not us.
I was here for a wedding and it was a very nice, but different experience. The upstairs area is very large and was great for the reception. If you are looking for a slightly different wedding experience I would highly recommend this place. All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Expansive and impressive, there are three floors of architectural salvage, furniture and oddities. The interesting twist about Salvage One is that it also serves as a wedding and event venue. Its a very unique take on vintage / salvage. I enjoyed browsing every nook and cranny.
I was invited to a wedding. Yes it’s quirky and different, but I thought the venue was terrible for acoustics and the service was lacking. We were seated with a group of eight far from the bands setup and the only way we could all converse was to scream at one another.
We had been here for a couple of events in the past. They rent out the 2nd floor for events and weddings.Decided to see the rest of the business since we were in the area.If you are rehabbing a building and need vintage hardware, doorknobs, light fixtures, statues, furniture and other eclectic items, this is the place for you. If you would like some really cool furnishings for your house or apartment, youve come to the right place, Its like an enjoyable walk back in time that you can take home with you.If you need a 3 foot high red letter, its only $325.00, but a 8 foot hight red letter will set you back $800.00 Who dosent need 2 10 high wood carved elephants for their entranceway?It would be nice too know the history of some of the items they have for sale.From very small hardware to very large full bars and statues, salvage one is a great place to spend some time exploring.
Attended a wedding here and do not recommend. Cons: We were the last table served. My vegetarian meal of mushroom ravioli was cold. My spouse and another guest at the table had cornish hen, which were hot but raw (ie: there was BLOOD throughout half of it). Unfortunately, my spouse ate it anyway and had diarrhea all the next day. It was about 20 degrees outside and nearly freezing inside Salvage One too. After huddling together for warmth on pews for the ceremony downstairs, guests had to wait around for about 30 minutes to go upstairs for the reception. The upstairs was EVEN COLDER!One gentleman had on a dress shirt and tie, long sleeve sweater, and his winter scarf wrapped around his shoulders. Ladies were less discreet and donned their winter coats. After dinner, I wandered over to the thermostat (about 10 feet from our table), it read 66 degrees and the temperature setting was on 55 degrees!! Insane! Additionally, there is only street parking which is hard to come by. Finally, there was no clear signage or illuminated entrance for the front door and we walked into an office business by mistake. Pros: The staff member at the main desk was helpful and the salads were tasty. I would NOT recommend having your event here and if you do, dress really warm and dont eat!
What a cool and unique venue!
Just went here last night for an event - what a cool space! A great venue for a classy party, wedding or anything that requires a different sort of ambiance. There are so many things to look at, prepare for sensory overload - in the best way possible!
This is a three story antique store that also doubles as a wedding venue. If you are looking to buy a dining room table, this is definitely the place to go. They also sell assorted furniture. It’s a neat store to visit!
Always a fan of visiting Salvage One. Such a cool place to find the most random things you didnt know you needed. A massive variety of different items from decor to replacement door hinges. Also can be used a venue for parties or weddings. Definitely recommend checking this place out 👍
Vast array of incredible things. My sister was an avid customer, she first turned me onto it. Just love this place, not only for what one can find, but for the -at least- semi-conservation work they do.I mean, if they didnt salvage the things they do, so many great works, and works of art, would be lost. Cant save every old building, unfortunately, but what can be salvaged--- they are treasures!
If you’re looking for something specific from an old house, they may have it but this is really more of a statement pieces from all over type of place. More of a cool wedding venue
Love this place. I do a lot of salvage and antique buying (used to work in the business) and this is a frequent stop for me.
Came for a a best friends wedding and man oh man was this place full of fun. Had such a blast here, awesome decor and great food. Definitely an experience I won’t forget
Went to FEVERs candlelight open air classical music event. Space was intimate and unique. Will visit again!
Really neat place. Clean. Full of interesting pieces that are reasonably priced. 3 floors and an outdoor area. Definitely recommend to designers, repurpose folks and anyone looking for something unique.
This is a hidden treasure, but if you have a chance to check out their events, GO! I had the best time there at the Gin event, multi floor, with shows that you can not find else where, experience the wizard world with tasty Gin, I can only tell you so awesome.
Very nice enjoyed everything.
Unique, interesting, and enjoyable (large) store. Definitely a fun date spot.
Attended a wedding. A place full of interesting antiques. Nice gathering place
This place, man. Its really something special - the whole environment is just so open and amazing. A lot of details went into this place and it shows. Great place to hold events, especially the 2nd floor. It has that vintage feel, but keeps it modern.
Here for a buddys wedding. Venue was great and we enjoyed it. However, for a summer wedding, they really should have increased the AC - it was HOT on the first floor!
Where do I begin? This place is amazing, the food and staff were amazing. The wedding was so smooth. The character in each room is unbelievable. Highly recommended
Venue is great. its kinda a hipster scene if your into that. Wonderful food and great great feel can lend your event a hip edge. And its clean not dirty!
Ive been here for a number of events and its freaking awesome. Im looking forward to the day where I can host an event here as well. The decor is unique and there are very places around the city that you can look at different looks and feel in the city.
Attended a wedding here and it was a blast. Entire building and outside gazebo are available for access. Incredibly photogenic. Wonderful space for an event.
I came here for Yelps Chiberia Sendoff and a Hendricks Gin event. Salvage One is an amazing space that offers alot of customization options for events. Ive seen the 2nd floor transformed with a maze of sights - like a hot air balloon and a mysterious creature in a crate...who ultimately fed you drinks - and laid out simply with a party, some tables and a stage for performances. The 1st floor maintains the fun, rustic vibe of the gallery itself - complete with antique furniture and fixtures - and has a nice little courtyard during the spring and summer that opens up the space even more. If youre an event / party planner, you should definitely check this space out. If youre just a party goer, say yes to the invite at Salvage One. You wont regret it.
Quirky warehouse of rescued architecture fragments. Best used as a party and catered venue. For actual salvage searching, there are better places in Chicago with much more stuff you could use.
Great party venue! Nice outdoor space to match the eclectic indoor areas. Can accommodate small to very large numbers.
Salvage one always has unique items. Its really fun to explore the various floors and find items with a lot of character to add to your space.
Gorgeous things. Amazing finds
Was there for a company party, the place has a lot of charm!
Very large space filled with very large furniture, light fixtures, and big ideas too. Also found lots of door hardware and bathroom fixtures. Cool place!
Fantastic venue for a wedding. Valet/parking across the street. Incredible pieces to look at/purchase. Great conversation starters.
We had our wedding here and it was awesome. Check out the antiques for sale too! Very unique stuff!
Great venue ... acoustics were outstanding... will def be back.
I have been here for a few events, and have enjoyed the antique theme of the place. Such a open area that does not make it a hassle to walk through. Can not wait to go back there tonight
Beautiful reception, love tge dinning room tables
Great prices! Big space so easy to be comfortable with distance. Will be returning without question!
Love it. if you are in to antiques or vintage this is the place. ......nice venew for a wedding I hope I can have my 25 aniversary there.
Very cool place. If youre looking for used retro furniture, or renovating your place to look retro, this is a great place to find that one thing you couldnt find anywhere else.
Gorgeous location, we loved going here to see the underground art market and walked away with too much stuff.
AMAZING location. this is a must see. I would kill to have a party/wedding here. Very cool pieces to look through. VERY cool!!
I Loved ❤ It , The Music and Atmosphere Were Excellent !
Crazy great space in west loop. Magical night of live music....❤
Great stock and selection of gorgeous vintage, reclaim and antiques. I always look forward to attending special events in the space.
This place is a maze of all household supplies and more. Lovely staff and highly recommend for entertainment industry workers.
Went to an event. Hard to figure out where to go and whats what. Like the front door or bathroom. If you make at least 6 figures you might be able to buy some furniture or antiques here
Awesome place to find unique items for your home. Pretty good looking event space as well.
This place was such a creative, thoughtful venue for a wedding. SO many interesting things to look at!
My husbands job had a holiday party hosted here and the space was large and unique.
Very nice!
The venue and music were amazing. Cant wait to go back.
You can find some well priced gems and other eclectic goods. Check it out when you need some new chairs, a table or a marble Corinthian column
This place is rad! Even if you don’t have a reason to purchase anything, it’s still worth a visit.
I love going to Salvage One. You really never know what youre going to find. Often, I end up leaving with something that I hadnt planned on.
Different place all you need to host an event with a really casual, antique, open ambience. Antique store which works as a hall for events.
Bought a fabulous antique tall cabinet for my kitchen for an old Victorian brownstone I’m redoing!
If only we had more places like this. On the bright side I guess they are keeping things out of landfills... And peoples homes due to the insane markups.
Lots of interesting stuff. I did not find what I was looking for, not sure I ever will.
Nice place to hold an event ...
Really interesting finds at this place. Its also a really cool venue for a wedding or corporate event
Beyond cool. Fantastic space for events or browsing for oddities. You will find items here you never knew existed. Tremendous.
Unique and full of treasures
Amazingly unique venue... Cool place for weddings and other events
I went to a wedding. The place was spectacular. The food was bad, Brazilian grill was cold and the meat was dryl
Attended an event here and was blown away by the use of space and the pieces that were on display and for sale. I would love to visit again soon
Spectacular wedding venue and an awesome place to find a unique piece of furniture or artwork.

One of the coolest places in Chicago. Had the pleasure of attending a wedding here and was very impressed.
Great place, a gem of the city! Very cool selection and totally worth a visit.
Beautiful place to host events or just to browse around. Takes you thru the past.
Amazing spot for reclaimed furniture, fixtures, and more. Pricey, but for a VERY good reason.
This place was so great, and for the cause it was worth every moment, beautiful setting
Not what it used to be. Great selections have been picked over. Looks like this place is on its last legs. Very sad.
Great place to have and excellent, lovely and vintage event
Crazy awesome facility, wedding and reception in the same place. fantastic night!

2021-08-06The sound in the event room was great. Large space but quartet sound didnt get lost. The eclectic mix of cool things in the store was AWESOME!

2022-04-15We sold a beautiful vintage bookshelf made of salvaged wood from an old church in Logan to them so if you need a large bookcase they have one!Ive never been in the store but this review is for the two totally rad guys (I feel bad I forgot their names) they sent to pick it up. Dudes had it apart in less than 20 minutes and were kind, polite and very mindful of our home while deconstructing this monster of a case in a thoughtful way as to preserve it for sale. I have never had any vendors in our home be this nice and seriously look out for our floors, walls, rugs etc. So shout out to their lovely staff.I imagine this is company culture and carries through to the staff in store so we will likely wander in soon!

2021-05-30What an awesome hidden gem in the Chi...wow! Music was excellent . Venue is one of the most romantic....it was a lil cold but the show was only an hour or so....Appreciated that in the courtyard which is outside you cant hear anything on the street...so you can focus on your company and the music....And the antiques are worth a looking at as well

2021-02-24Salvage One Chicago is one of the most unique wedding venues in the midwest. As a photographer, the grounds and interior made amazing and quirky backdrops for my portraits with the couple. If you are looking for a stunning venue with so much character look no further. I highly recommend this amazing Midwest wedding venue!

2022-06-27Pricing I felt was very reasonable. A lot of fun items for me to handle, like old brass door hardware and tools. The 3rd floor was packed with old doors and windows. Great trip. Ill be back

2022-05-08What a beautiful wedding. The stained glass was amazing,lots of room for guests. Huge dance floor. The set up was gorgeous
Review №8
2019-03-26Amazing venue for weddings with antiques everywhere. The whole place has beautiful wooden floors and grand window panes. The third floor holds an entire shop of antiques from foosball tables to block letters to baseball seats. The wedding we had there was comfortable with space, seating, bathrooms, temperature, and wifi. 10/10 would give it a look for your wedding and overall shopping endeavors

2019-07-01My associate and I had such a lovely time shooting Susans & Jordans wedding here this past Feb. This venue is such a unique spot to have a wedding ceremony & reception! Highly recommend this place to engaged couples. ~ Winterlyn Photography

2018-04-06This place holds a key to Chicagos rich history. Here youll find an extensive assortment of antique (and unique) pieces of furniture, parts of buildings, doors, chandeliers, scrap metal-turned-art, along with thousands of other gems that have been salvaged from buildings throughout the city. Come here to see appliances, old technology, and artwork almost 100 years old, and found nowhere else. I had a great time exploring this place and seeing things people used in older times. Definitely worth a stop for the curious weekend warrior.Or, get married here! They use this building as a gorgeously unique chapel/reception hall and is sure to satisfy those urban/rustic vibes youve been looking for.
