Love coming here, one of the bouncers named Andrew helped my friends and I out when there were some issues at the door. He handled the situation and we were able to have the best night because of him. Can’t wait to come back and say hi!

Most reviews in 2025 mention the smell of vomit and stale beer. Profound revelation: It smelled like that back in 1968 when I tended bar there. Back then REO Speedwagon was the House Band. Get over it! It’s a smelly college town bar and will be that way as long as the building is standing…and maybe after it’s gone if they don’t remove ten feet of earth under it and take it to a toxic waste dump.

This might be my favorite bar on campus. It was always packed which I liked and they played good music. The drinks are really strong which you may like, but sometimes I found it bad. Sometimes they are so strong it is hard to drink. It is even cooler now that they added the lights all over. It feels like going to the club. This is always my go to spot on a Friday night.

Djs suck ah. Deals are caca. Why are men on the tables. Tables should be designated for the ladies and to shake ah and ah only.

It is a decent bar and relatively cheap if you buy the specials. The cover ranges from free on seniors night to about $20 on hectic weekends; most of the time, it’s $10.

It’s a campus bar with a lot of college kids. Fun to visit once in a while

Definitely a place where you can enjoy your time. I’ve had a couple of bad experiences but overall I enjoyed my time here. The best thing I like about it is the design of the outside and inside of the building which I think is super unique. Another good thing is that they have a dance stage above the floor which gets a better view. Good music and lots of people.

Red Lion more like RED FLAG. An all-around disgusting establishment. Literal vomit on the floors and in the sinks. Door & security are rude and openly drink while working. A very trashy crowd overall.

would’ve given a 1 star but i know that google hides 1 star reviews. i waited in line for over an hour and then they took my real ID and told me to call 911 if i wanted it back. i called 911 and they gave it back to me but told me i had to wait in line again

Absolutely terrible. My first impression is the smell. The whole building reeks of feces and vomit. Everything is sticky, there’s this weird, chunky mystery liquid flooding the floor, and drinks are obscenely overpriced. $8 for a shot of fireball. EIGHT DOLLARS. You can get it at any other bar for less than $4. Never going back. My expectations were rock bottom, and I was still disappointed.
