Betty Haller
Sticky dive bar, but the food and vibe was perfect. We got tacos and brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze and everything was delicious and really nicely plated. We were able to sit by the fireplace on a couch, which was cozy & romantic- especially after dark when the red lights came on. The music was all perfect throwbacks and really made it fun. We had such a great time here and would absolutely go back.

Opens at 5pm. The best kind of place to sit and relax and have a cocktail with a friend. Has a great red gothic feel to the place without being over the top. The drinks have a nice range from simple and traditional to “oh, that sounds different, I want that”. They also have a food menu which tasty. The raven burger was suprisingly light. Big enough for a single serve but we shared it with the truffle-rosemary fries. Drinks pictured: L- Midnight Rose. R- Open Casket.

Terrible service. Went to grab a drink after a concert and the blonde bartender was gone forever, said she would get right to us and then proceeded to serve every other person in the bar. Had to get a pat down to go in there….for what? Lame place and terrible bartender/service. This is why bars fail.

Awful service. Male to female ratio is horrendous. Bartender ignored. Probably because we were a couple. She was telling most patrons to add her on IG. Decided to leave because it seemed unorganized and kitchen was closed.

Saturday 4/15/23 815pm…male Caucasian bartender wearing suspenders…maybe color blind or something…I was literally the only person (POC) sitting at the bar waiting to get served…a Caucasian guy walks in and gets acknowledged and served immediately…I stand up and get close the same spot as this patron, and still no acknowledgement from bartender…it looked like he was ending his shift so maybe he was like f@c!< it

Interesting place. Stopped in briefly to get a bite to eat upstairs and it was a chill, groovy dimly red lit room with fireplace and eclectic background music. Not alot of ppl around 9 pm on a sat but DJ was getting setup so the vibe probably changes later. Seemed great for a date when not busy. Downstairs red bar was more divey and packed with lively, drunk ppl. From the sounds of it, its usually reversed. Upstairs service was nothing special but they were polite enough. A little trashier crowd was trickling in upstairs as I left, so maybe thats a downside later in the night.

This review is for the upstairs bar, not the restaurant nor the downstairs Red Room. I’ve only eaten at the restaurant once or twice and don’t have too many memories, and the downstairs warrants its own review.

This is the best hole in the wall find ever! The food is amazing, their specialty drinks are the perfect hint of flavors. Our waitress was amazing, very observant and kind.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Comfy clinches, fire place, good selection, and the music was at a good level where you can hold conversations. Something about the red lights makes you feel fancy

Went after our SCHS all class reunion. Went to socialize, drink and dance. They even played mexican music! Always liked this place and the fact that they have the red room downstairs and outside seating area too! Can facilitate bigger crowds. Hard to get drinks sometimes.
