Red Lounge 1212 East Jefferson Street, Seattle, WA 98122

"Music can be better, but security is great here. Had a situation where a guy kept trying to get me to dance with him. Security noticed right away and responded quickly to deescalate the situation. Will definitely visit again"

"Came here for the first time on my birthday weekend, excited to finally experience the hype for myself. As a Seattle native, I’m always down to support Black-owned businesses here, as they are very few and far between. The place was extremely crowded and I did my best to stay out of the way, but was ultimately pushed around inadvertently by others coming and going. Eventually I found a little spot to stand in. Apparently the area I was in was reserved, although prior to finding that out I had asked two separate people in the immediate vicinity if it was closed off. They said no, I was good. A few minutes later a woman steps up to me, just standing and staring. I step back to let her by, but she stays put, so I apologize and step back again and gesture for her to go by. She looks me up and down, rolls her eyes, finally goes past me, stepping on my foot in the process. Turns out she was the “boss lady” (owner?), who unfortunately attempted to intimidate me instead of effectively communicating by using her big girl words. Had she informed me I was in a reserved area, in a civil way, I gladly would have apologized and moved. I spent over $120 (two tickets to get in and 2 double drinks) and was only there for about 30 minutes. I wish I could get my money back. The only plus was the bartender who was lovely!"

"Great food and great drinks. All of the staff is cool and interacts with the customers like family. Jerk wings are my favorite. Can't go wrong with a good wing"
