Joe and Jay (our owners) strived to capture the essence of Chicago bars and restaurants right here on Grand Avenue. Thus, the Wild Onion is a Chicago-styled menu mixed with a busy, friendly neighborhood buzz. Chicago draws its name from the Native American “Chigagou,” meaning “Land of the Wild Onion.” Thus we have the Wild Onion on Grand Avenue, St. Paul, capturing the attitude and atmosphere of the bar-restaurant life of Chicago. Please enjoy our food, drink and atmosphere, all inspired by the Windy City itself and presented to you in the finest and friendliest Minnesota fashion!
