BarFly's Review of Red Room
With everything going for it, except its location, the Red Room is reduced to entreating prospective customers with a unique motto: "Don't Fear the 82nd". The intrepid will find a solid rock bar, featuring a lively schedule of acts heavy on the punk tip, a pleasantly dark lounge, friendly service, and - gasp! - Guitar Hero! Also, pool x2, MegaCrack, pinball, etc. Sundays: Spin your own records. Monday: Free movie and popcorn. $2.75 well, $3 micros, 50 cents off apps, $1 off entrees 4-8pm M-F, and all night Tues.

nice joint but the food sucks. Six dollar nachos are fine if they come with cheese. Cheese WHIZ doesn't count and the employees will get upset when you tell them the nachos suck. Cheez whiz?!?! give me a break. go elsewhere if you want food.

New to the area, but I like the nice dark ambience of this little bar. Mo is fucking crazy! Funniest dude I've met bartending. Lots of sketchers, though.....

Great sound and great venue for a small bar. Lots of locals, really even though a bad neighborhood the clientèle isn't so bad. Have been seeing Prohibition lately there. Fantastic local band that seems to play mostly at the Red Room. Can't beat a Thursday night having great cheap drinks and listening to Prohibition rocking the f'ing house!

My band played there once when they first opened and the three guys playing Guitar Hero got really mad that the game had to be turned off while we played. But after our set we played a few rounds with them and were really happy and ended up smoking us out. I guess just don't go there if you're going to annoy/get annoyed with the GH dudes. It's taken pretty seriously there and maturely I should also say. They didn't give me shit for playing "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand (shut up, I didn't know any of the other beginner level songs) and were infact impressed at how difficult it was. It's like they don't care what you play, as long as you're playing Guitar Hero with them they'll be your friend and drinking buddy. That, to me, is what makes the place so great.
When are you guys going to have another tournament? or is there one on a regular basis?

on the contrary, dancing is not only welcome, it is encouraged...however, when you have a limited amount of space and are surrounded by tables with drinks on them, SLAM dancing never works out well for the people at said tables or the staff that has to clean up the mess! Thanks for the kind words and come back soon and we will show you our dance moves :)

We went to the Red Room on a Saturday night to see a few bands including iknowkungfu play. Not a bad setup, the place was clean and the bar staff was pretty good. Not a bad place considering where it is. Although we were asked to quit dancing by the bartender.
