I’ve been going to RedBar for over 16 years and never thought I’d say this, but I finally got ripped off by a bartender, no less. I was only there for an hour and ordered four bottled beers total (two for me, one for a friend, one for my girlfriend). Out of our group of four, I was the only one hit with a random $20 service charge.
To make it worse, one of the bathrooms was out of order and three bartenders were too busy trying to pry it open to serve customers. I was patient and respectful the whole time, but got taken advantage of anyway.
This was the first time I’ve ever been charged a “service charge” at RedBar and for what? Handing me bottled beer? It felt shady and predatory. The bartender responsible was a short, stocky guy. This experience left a really bad taste, and unfortunately, it’s enough to make me not...

Both waiters weren't friendly or approachable. When we ordered our bill, we had then been charged more for our cocktails than was advertised on the menu and when we challenged the amount of service charge we were faced with a barrage of excuses and attitude. A real shame as the drinks were very tasty but everything else about this place was simply terrible. Would not recommend this place at all there are plenty of other places to drink great cocktails and actually receive good service......
