| - We have been to Red several times and the only word to describe this place is "eclectic". Now this word cannot be thrown around on a whim as there can be both a positive and negative version...as for Red...it is definitely positive.
Unlike most hookah bars in and around the Queen City, Red is absolutely the type of atmosphere that provides a place for everyone to feel comfortable to hookah. There is a sketchy back room that I've peeked into a few times only to find very intoxicated individuals that may have indulged in more than tobacco. To each their own.
Moving on to the fantastic parts of Red: the quality of the hookah, incredible wine specials, a jukebox that accepts credit cards (dangerous), and great design. Almost every night I've been we have been able to get a bottle of red wine for $15. Is it the fanciest wine you will ever drink? No, it's actually probably one of the cheapest you will drink. But that's neither here nor there...it's cheap wine and perfect for hookah.
The next huge plus (and perhaps the most important) is the quality of the actual hookah. They have a huge variety of different flavors, and if you know the right people you can partake in some of the coolest combinations I've ever had. There is constant coal service and the hookah lasts forever...without losing flavor or intensity. The quality is one of the best in Charlotte (and I've searched far and wide). If you have not smoked hookah before or are bringing along a beginner, Red is the perfect place to get great flavor for the newbies and high quality for the more experienced.
Lastly, one of the best parts of Red is the actual design and decoration of the facility. Some may view it as a confused or cluttered look...and I would think they are crazy. It is mix between retro, hipster (yes I said it), and stoner. There is tons of antique furniture and different styles of seating from retro 1950's kitchen tables to french antique sofas and chairs. Another incredible part is the massive amount of books featured throughout Red. Old books, new books, fiction, non-fiction, and beyond. Throw in the board games scattered about the place and you have everything you need for a long, entertaining evening with friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
Is this the ritzy, trendy hookah bar common of Uptown? No...and that is probably my favorite part. If you need a comfortable night out wth friends or even care to venture out alone to partake in hookah and catch up on your reading...Red is hands down the place you need to go.
