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.

This place was super fun, very friendly, extremely safe, and consistently accommodating! Being in Chicago, in winter during a pandemic can be challenging. I booked a 2-hour small party for my 8-turning-9 year old's birthday party. It was simply amazing. I had 6 total guests: 4 adults and 2 children (8 and 11 year old). As soon as we stepped in, we were warm welcomed. The venue was immaculate, sanitized, with convenient hand sanitizers throughout. The staff gave amazing instructions which made it super user-friendly. I absolutely recommend this place!! If you have any questions, comments or concerns - especially about COVID restrictions - call and talk to management. Aaron was super helpful and made sure our party went smooth, easy and convenient. Thanks guys!! FYI: They have an amazing full bar. You can bring your own cake, food and decorations too!

Redline VR staff went above and beyond to make my son's 8th birthday party a fun event! We had eight 7-8 year old boys and they did a good job wrangling them, providing things for them to do, etc. My husband and I are excited to go back (sans kids) for a fun date night!

Great atmosphere. It is wildly nerdy but if that is your vibe you will have a great time. The drinks are fun and the venue may just hit the spot if you are looking for something a little different.

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.

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.

Came for a friend’s birthday. My fiancé had a medical emergency and fainted, fell and hit his head, and lost consciousness. Instead of stopping the game so we could get him some help, they decided it was appropriate to just give him some ginger ale, tell him people get sick all the time doing this, and give him a $20 off coupon for next time. There will be no next time. They let the rest of us play on not knowing anything had happened while he sat there. We have since had to take him to the hospital. Plus, the group across the room from us playing skee ball were screaming so loud that we couldn’t even enjoy the game to begin with. Just a bad experience all the way around.
