Our bar starts with our community

What matters to us is the people who come in to spend time at Illusion. We love organizing community engagement with football and soccer nights, food challenges, charity events, live music, wine tasting.. well you get the idea. We're inviting you to stop by and get to know us. If there is one thing we can promise you is the warm and genuine way we approach our guests. We've been here since 1999 serving our community and we absolutely love everything about it.

Family owned business

FYI

Illusion Café has served the community for over 20 years. Christopher Wozniczka and his wife Nikki opened Illusion Cafe to bring Des Plaines a bar that’s more than food and drinks but also a bar that brings the community together. Expect flavorful menu items, tasty drinks, and a sociable atmosphere filled with laughter, and a sense of community. Illusion Cafe is your home away from home.
