About Visceral Adventure Lounge
A multi-aesthetic performance venue with several nooks with hints of Silver Screen Noir, Dark Academia, Belle Époque, Space Age Mod, and Bohemia. Each space has its own distinct visual identity, making it ideal for film shoots, photo shoots, music videos, and productions that need varied backdrops without changing locations.
The venue includes a theatrical lighting rig, flexible seating, and natural light from street-facing windows. The stage area accommodates live performance, comedy showcases, theatre productions, and rehearsals. Individual booth spaces can be used separately or the full venue can be booked as one.
Perfect for film and photo shoots, live music, DJ sets, theatre, comedy, workshops, poetry slams, private dinners, cabaret, birthday parties, and private celebrations. Capacity up to 100 guests. Free parking available on site.
History
Visceral Adventure Lounge is the home of Silent Theatre Company, a Chicago-based nonprofit theatre company with over 20 years of producing immersive, community-rooted performance. The venue was built from that legacy — designed as a space where art, culture, and conversation could happen under one roof. Located in Humboldt Park, one of Chicago's most creatively vibrant neighborhoods, VAL opened in 2026 as a private membership arts venue and event space.
Neighborhood
Humboldt Park is a historic Chicago neighborhood with deep roots in Puerto Rican culture, community art, and independent creative enterprise. The venue is on W Grand Avenue with easy access from the 290 and free street parking directly outside. Surrounded by local restaurants, murals, and community spaces that reflect the neighborhood's creative energy.
Logistics
The venue spans approximately 2,000 square feet with six individually themed booth spaces plus a main stage area. Spaces can be booked individually or as a full venue. Seating is flexible — lounge, cabaret, or theatre style depending on the event. Full theatrical lighting rig, natural light from street-facing windows. Tables and chairs available. Free parking on site. Capacity up to 100 guests.
Special Rates
Sliding scale rates available for independent artists, nonprofit organizations, and community groups. Contact host to discuss. Standard rates: $125/hr for film and photo shoots, $150/hr for events and productions.

Bartending
5.0 (14)
Since 2011 we’ve tried to figure out one thing: how can we make sure that wherever you are, you are having a great drink. Our physical location is in Wicker Park where we sell our signature cocktail starters and vintage barware, offer cocktail classes and host unique events. The best part is, though, we can bring all of this and more to you!Read more
