Whether you’re hosting a family game night or planning a secluded night out with your sweetheart, our Dome is the perfect new way to experience Allerton!

Ask our sales team about adding beer, wine, or champagne to your reservation! You’re also welcome to pack a basket of your own food and non-alcoholic* beverages to enjoy.

The Dome will be cleaned and sanitized before and after each guests. 

For questions about additional times or to make a reservation, call 217-333-3287.

Dress warmly! The Dome has a space heater and blankets, but is not totally temperature-controlled.
