The Rave is an historical landmark due to its history as the Eagles Club.  In 1926, the Eagles Club was established as an exclusive club with a swimming pool, bowling alley, a boxing ring with seating, and a high end restaurant.  Top performers make it a point to perform at the Rave.  Gavin Rossdale, of Bush, says the Rave has the best dressing rooms in the country.  Recently, the Jonas Brothers filmed part of their video "When You Look Me in The Eyes" from their Dec. 7, 2007 concert at the Eagles ballroom.  Also, Jason Mraz did an entire live DVD at the Eagles ballroom. 

Inside the Rave are six concert venues: The Eagles ballroom, the Rave Hall, the Eagles Hall, the Rave Bar, the Rave Vibe Room, and the Rockstar Lounge. The largest and most famous venue is the Eagles Ballroom.  Featuring a 25,000 sq. foot, oval wooden dance floor, domed ceiling, and carved sculptures of eagles, the Eagles ballroom has hosted Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Green Day, Coldplay, and Kings of Leon (to name a few).   The Rave Hall, and the venue's namesake, hosts many of America's top acts as well.  General admission grants you access to the main floor, otherwise you can opt for the upper balcony's reserved seating and exclusive bar.  Located in the basement of the Rave is the one room, Miami style Eagles Hall.  Another small venue at the Rave is the Rave Bar; an intimate, all ages room.  It is the only all ages, small venue in Wisconsin.  Many famous acts got their start in the Rave Bar including the Dave Matthews Band, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam.

The newest venue at the Rave is The Rave Vibe Room.  Located just off the main lobby, the Vibe Room is equipped with a mirrored bar that caters to DJs, too.  Various up and coming local and regional bands play shows in this room.  Finally, the Rockstar Lounge is a VIP lounge that allows patrons to smoke during performances even if other performances are designated as non-smoking.  The Rockstar Lounge has its own stage and great ventilation.
