The Raven Room (formerly Redline VR)

If you are even remotely interested in Virtual Reality you have to put this spot on your list! Awesome setup with a complete bar and they allow you to bring in food and snacks! We had such a good time and the owner was never far away in case we needed help or a quick laugh. Very personable and welcoming. After we left the first thing our 18 year old son said is that he wanted to come back here after graduation from USMC bootcamp so I guess we will see you later this year! Thank you for a fun and memorable experience. Awesome selection of games and pricing is very reasonable. So glad we chose this option.

This place is a perfect space to work away from home. With everything going on, I like many others have been forced to work from home. Some of us can only handle being at the house for so many hours. And others of us get so distracted by things that need to be done in the home. Come here to become free of all those at home distractions and get your work done distraction free. The staff is super nice and they are doing a great job abiding by covid standards. The tables are super spread out and you get a whole space to yourself. It is so much better than a coffee shop because of the amount of space and the number of outlets. I always have a hard time finding outlets when I go to cafes and its seems like everybody coming in and out can be so distracting! At Redline VR, you really get your own little space and its so nice for focus! Not to mention it is beautifully designed! The bathroom is a nice surprise! Definitely a win win situation! Lucky for me, it is right around the corner from my house! As for the VR, I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure I will soon! If you need a distraction free desk space because you are tired of working from home this is definitely the place for you!

Great Music & Comedy nights in the back room stage area. Fun karoake and trivia nights. Excellent CBD drinks. The virtual reality is well maintained. Clean bar with cool bathrooms. It only seems to stay open til about midnight, but feels worth it since it opens early.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They welcpmed our party and made sure we had everything we needed. the staff cats were tolerant of us...which is about as welcoming as cats can be.

Redline VR is a colorful, eclectic venue that I highly, highly recommend for both adults' and children's parties. The space is warm and sophisticated at the same time, and my group of 39/40-year-old friends really enjoyed the VR, the cocktail bar, the intimacy of the dining set up, and the big Raven Room where drag performances, talkbacks and karaoke were all on offer. We would love to see a second Redline VR open near Argyle or Skokie, home to demographics that would probably appreciate it as much as it deserves to be appreciated. As the party co-planner, I have to say that I enjoyed interacting with owner Aaron and definitely recommend him as an events liaison. Finally - shout out to the brilliant John Ross Wilson who created much of the art that makes Redline VR so visually stunning.

Soo fun, lovely staff that was super helpful and friendly. Great drinks served to your own little personal VR space, which was clean and well set-up in advance. Superhot is endlessly entertaining!

Top notch experience! Everyone there is super friendly and happy to help. It's so fun! My 6 year old loves it, my 10 and 13 year olds can't get enough. And I'm planning an adult only night soon bc it's awesome for all ages!

Great first time and fabulous hosts. Thank you to the Redline VR team for making this event so successful!
