A space with purpose 

A New Standard

For more than 40 years, Blue Plate has led Chicago’s event scene with culinary artistry and exceptional service. Allium continues that legacy—where curated menus, thoughtful design, and seamless coordination bring unforgettable moments to life.

More Than a Venue

Allium is a statement for those who value creativity and impact. Backed by Chicago’s most trusted hospitality team, it’s a fresh canvas for celebrations. From the first impression to the final course, it delivers.

The Story Behind The Name

Named for the striking, globe-shaped flower known to attract butterflies, Allium is a place where vibrant energy and graceful moments collide. Beyond its floral elegance, alliums are a diverse family of edible plants and is a cornerstone of cuisines from around the world.

Rooted in Chicago

The name also carries local meaning. “Chicago” is believed to come from a Native American word for “wild onions,” making Allium a subtle tribute to the city’s roots. Much like the plant itself, the venue draws people in with natural beauty and a sense of wonder—an atmosphere that invites connection and celebration.
