Amazing restaurant and bar. Food is top notch! Chef Luke really puts on a great menu! The staff at BarRed are super friendly, and the owner Zach personally works the floor. Small, intimate environment, great for date night or just a night out for food and drinks. Highly recommend!

Bar Red was impressive! A small place with a HUGE vibe! I was there for live music and ended up getting the most delicious pizza! The hip hop show was really great and the vibe that the atmosphere inspired was top notch. I had a really really great time here.
