| - Not an ideal place for reservations.
After making reservations for 25 plus people, the Red Room made the claim that that would be, "no problem." NO - PROBLEM. As in, not one little problem. As if it should be easy.
Look, I understand wanting to seem like you're pleasing everyone, but here's the thing - eventually those people that put in the reservations are going to show up. And, when you bring them to an alcove that could easily fit 25 people comfortably, they will be pleased.
Now, when you tell them you only have half that space, and they have to cram in, shoulder to shoulder, all the way around, that's less than ideal.
I've never been at a bar where people were yelling to get out, because they were having onsets of claustrophobia... until I visited the Red Room.
It's dark, it's dingy, and it's loud. And it's cramped... but only when you make reservations. The other guests were spread out. If the whole bar was as cramped as we were, they could have fit twice the people.
There are other locations in this neighbourhood. If the place isn't cramped, then stop be - but otherwise, grab your friends and go elsewhere. I'm sure the staff would have "no problem" with that.
