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.
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.
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.
Place is huge. Three floors of awesome odds and ends. Would highly recommend checking out.
This place holds a key to Chicago's rich history. Here you'll 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 you've been looking for.
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, you've come to the right place, It's like an enjoyable walk back in time that you can take home with you.
If you need a 3 foot high red letter, it's only $325.00, but a 8 foot hight red letter will set you back $800.00 Who dosen't 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.
Beautiful antiques. Great place for a find. I attended a company event here. They served delicious appetizers.
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 it's the trend, I still found it quite unique.
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.
Beyond cool. Fantastic space for events or browsing for oddities. You will find items here you never knew existed. Tremendous.
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.
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 didn't salvage the things they do, so many great works, and works of art, would be lost. Can't save every old building, unfortunately, but what can be salvaged--- they are treasures!
This place, man. It's 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.
I've been here two years in a row for Brew Years Eve, and it's such a cool building! Filled with antiques and odd sculptures, it's a great place to go to a cool event and hear some music on the second floor!
This place is a maze of all household supplies and more. Lovely staff and highly recommend for entertainment industry workers.
Fantastic venue for a wedding. Valet/parking across the street. Incredible pieces to look at/purchase. Great conversation starters.
Gorgeous location, we loved going here to see the underground art market and walked away with too much stuff.
Interesting venue; everything is for sale. Was loud and sometimes hard to hear what was going on.
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 they're 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.
Always a fan of visiting Salvage One. Such a cool place to find the most random things you didn't 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
If only we had more places like this. On the bright side I guess they are keeping things out of landfills... And people's homes due to the insane markups.
Amazingly unique venue... Cool place for weddings and other events
Was there for a wedding. Reminded me of a hoarder's 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.
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 wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world.
Thanks, Salvage One!
Great place, a gem of the city! Very cool selection and totally worth a visit.
We had our wedding here and it was awesome. Check out the antiques for sale too! Very unique stuff!
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
WOW! JUST WOW! The pictures should pretty much sum up the awesome atmosphere of this place. Great finds!
Amazing spot for reclaimed furniture, fixtures, and more. Pricey, but for a VERY good reason.
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.
