Red Restaurant Bar - Santa Cruz

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.

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.

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.

Love this spot. Been here forever and still a great place for a drink

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.
