THE GUIDE
Entertainment Revery VR Bar This creative concept stakes its claim as the nation’s first full bar to pair virtual reality (VR) technology and top-notch cocktails with cool sophistication. Revery VR Bar welcomes those who consider themselves VR experts as much as those who have never tried it. And if you’re imaging everyone wearing headsets at once, think again. Groups take turns playing games, making for a very social and hilarious nightlife experience in real life. Wear eyeglasses? While everyone wears the headsets differently, the Revery team recommends bringing contacts for comfort if possible.
