The venue certainly has potential to highlight the talent of gifted musicians, but could use some tweaking on the finer details. One element that is needed urgently is a person in the techie booth to properly highlight the talent to maximum effect; the band’s singer continually requested that the vocals and bass be turned up. In the end, despite the eye-and-ear-popping guitar solos, I couldn’t really hear a word the poor guy was singing. I could see his mouth moving, yes, but to no effect.
The Red Room has got the image, the atmosphere and the punch to accentuate a live performance. The acoustics are excellent (no tinny echoes, no feedback or reverberation), but they could use a little bit of control over the levels. Not to be written off, though, the potential is there to rock out!

3 Reader Reviews | Red Room is a pretty dope spot, It's a little grimey but it still is dope. Everything sounds so good in there and the bartender's (yes, are sort of dicks) the one guy said that if you wern't gonna tip dont order from his bar. I thought that was kind of lame. I saw a hardcore show there and then stayed a bit for the club scene after. like i said great sound crowd is a little iffy. Mixture of so many kinda of people. overall give this club a B+ its alright for service and crowd but sound is definitly an A+ its crazy good

The Red Room is by far the worst nightclub I have ever been to. The bartenders give major attiude, and the prices are outrageous. I asked the bartender for a glass of water, and she told me the manager did not allow her to give away glasses of water, and that I had to buy a bottle of water, which cost $4.25. I went to the bar where the manager was working, and ordered a glass of water. He told me he would give it to me, but he was doing me a huge favour and I shouldn't expect it next time. I asked him why I wasn't welcome to a glass of water whenever I like, and he started yelling at me saying I should know better than to ask for something for free that I didnt have the right to. He asked me to leave the bar. I have never been treated this way in my life, and I was absolutely disgusted with his behaviour, not to mention the fact that he is the General Manager of the place. I will never return to this place, because every single person who works there is a jerk, and the manager is a total asshole. No one should go there and support such a business.
