Red Lounge

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

Afro beats on Friday’s was fire they strictly played afro beats. Not hip hop, not R&B, just Afro beats!!! You can buy a section or you can stand on the dance floor which most everyone does. We will be back againFood: 5/5

I visited Red Lounge for the first time Friday night for the Afrobeats Party, and everyone from the security to the young ladies accepting admission to the bartenders was very kind. But this review is about just one person I encountered that evening by the name of Aji/Ajai/Ajayi. I don't know how he spells his name, but a description could help: a short man in a too-tight pullover and an outdated fedora with a terrible attitude. When I gave him the "wait a minute" hand when he asked me and my friend to move so people who purchased a bottle could be seated, I guess that bruised his ego, because he then tried to curse at me and threatened to call security. Nothing in a club in Seattle warrants that kind of attitude, and if he doesn't have thicker skin, he should pursue a different line of work. I suggest leaving him off the floor and having less fragile employees interface with customers.

I’m suing you! I asked the beast not to touch me and he did! So did the geriatric bottle aka mc that lightens her skin, touched me as well! I’m coming for the both of you with a lawyer! @redlounge owner. You’re a disorganized club. We paid for VIP. , which we had asked for 45 mins prior to us being seated! No matter the circumstances, your staff should NEVER touch customers, that’s AGAINST THE LAW. Don’t worry a lawyer will reach out to you and your establishment and employees! That was assault point blank period!!!!

Caribbean Nights are the best! I just want to know who to ask for a soca lovers night, especially now that it’s carnival season! Guuyyyyysssssss…my addiction needs a pacifier! Otherwise I’ll say they have alright—about a 7 of 10–Jamaican food. The sound system pumps! I feel the bass in my soul. The energy is always good in the club even if it’s not a crowded night. I love how the crowd is diverse and everyone is just doing their thing freely and comfortably. You guys carry a beacon here and I hope you know it! May it continue to grow. I’m looking out for what’s next and new from here because right in the heart of Seattle right there with all those schools and high traffic spots close by… there’s more gold. Y’all should be spearheading some sort of Seattle Carnival, Seattle Reggaefest, something! The spot feels like home. I’m grateful for a little home away from home. Okay bye

The best club in Seattle for Afro beats and music you can actually dance too! The music , vibe and camaraderie makes it the perfect atmosphere to recreate the perfect night. If you haven’t danced until your legs hurt in a while, I’d suggest making this your next stop.

For sure my spot for bites and vibes of the Caribbean always delivers on the jerk chicken, Ox tails, goat and Fridays and Saturdays get lit when the DJ's turn up. Hands down the hottest International vibes. The Rum Punch is the truth, love the staff great to celebrate a birthday of special event.

Best Caribbean food in Washington!! The red snapper fish is a must try

This is a simple Lounge were Jamaican music is played. It’s one of the best places in Seattle to mingle with the Caribbeans and dance to reggae, dancehall, roots, Kenyan, West African music and more. You need to book a table if you want to seat otherwise you will stand holding your drink all through. It gets crowded.. but worth a try
