Taste of Ravenswood

Taste of Ravenswood returns for the first time since 2019 on February 7th, 2025! We're bringing you the neighborhood's top restaurants, brewers, and spirit makers for a fantastic, one-night-a-year experience. Each chef will offer dishes that highlight the range of flavors you can find in Ravenswood!

Enjoy delicious bites and sips, enjoy music by pianist Casey Cross and live painting by Lydia Cash, and explore a private collection of vintage neon signs and classic cars. Consider also joining us for our Cocktail Hour, an exclusive hour in the gorgeous Ravenswood Event Center Atrium. You’ll sample alcoholic and spirit-free cocktails from Long Room, a limited-edition organic spirit from Thresh & Winnow, and small bites from Bayan Ko. The hour also features an intimate performance by guitar virtuoso Bill MacKay. Enjoy all of this while getting a beautiful view of the neighborhood from the Ravenswood Event Center Atrium space. Atrium Cocktail hour tickets are limited, so be sure to get yours before they sell out!

Bring family, friends, and coworkers out for an evening sampling the best that Ravenswood has to offer. Ticketholders can enjoy the Atrium Cocktail Hour from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, and General Admission will be located in the beautiful Ravenswood Event Center Showroom from 7:30pm to 10:00pm.
