    I went to the Vendetta Vixens Burlesque show last night 5/29 and had a blast as usual. I am happy to support a burlesque troupe who stands up and fights for human rights. Last night they took the time to talk about some very important topics and gave the audience members who agreed with their values the opportunity to take action. Unfortunately last night there was a group of individuals who did not agree and took it upon themselves to disrupt the event and shame the performers, staff and audience members. The troupe and staff members handled this situation swiftly and graciously. Even though the Vendetta Vixens had to deal with that disruption and hate they turned it around and had an all around amazing show. I will continue to support this troupe and bar.

    If you are in St. Cloud you must stop here for a drink. They have top notch drinks. The female bartender, forgot her name came up with most of signature drinks on their list. Had the old fashioned and it worked. We were surprised to find some free apps available and luve music in the early evening. Fun crowd.

    Damn, this place is where it’s at. Drag show up top, rave down below, chill zone in between.

    After hearing that Dave at Barstool Fund made the call to The Red Carpet, one of my favorite st cloud nightlife experiences during in college, I knew I just had to go and get a delicious martini from the infamous martini lounge. I was excited by what private enterprises like Barstool could do to help, and I wanted my private actions to help contribute to the continued success as well. My date and I showed up early, around 6pm. Nobody was there except us and staff. As we were walking toward the bar to take a seat, I was reminded by the bartender to bring my mask up. Annoyed since there was no one else there, I brought it up to my face for the remaining 5 seconds of my walk to the bar. Then pulled it down. We ordered martinis and proceeded to chat intermittently with the bar keep. We asked what events may be coming up. They said they would be having a musician to test out if "people could handle the responsibility"...that annoyed me even more. Responsibility of what, exactly? Freedom? Those words rang around in my head for the rest of my time there. Was freedom not a god given right but rather a privilege we as citizens should be grateful our authoritarian betters have allowed us to have? I was shocked. About half way through our drinks a few more bartenders came into our viewing and hearing zone. Two of them were talking about upcoming plans and whether or not to visit Florida since "Florida is mostly open right now" one remarked. The other chimes in that "yeah that's because Florida is a wasteland". Without any more context the best I can tell is that they were referring to Florida as a negative place to go to due to Florida's resistance to dictatorial policies like those we live under here in Minnesota. To sum up, I was disheartened to see young people have such a low opinion of freedom in general and also the belief that individuals can not possibly make the best choices for themselves. I try hard not to blame these young people too much- their young and have a lot of learning to do but also have the world at their fingertips like I do. The social pressures are way more now than when I was in college. I hope they snap out of it fast. I wonder how Dave would feel if he knew his funds were keeping employed people who in my opinion could stand up for freedom a bit more.

    Service at the martini lounge is rude and inattentive. Great place if you don’t mind being ignored and waiting 30+ minutes for a drink

    Roughly July 2023: Bartender in the Keller lounge, never got her name, but she was dressed in Pokemon outfit, was the worst bartender I've ever encountered. Didn't take our order even though we sat at the bar, until we asked- sat for over 5 minutes even though it was not busy at all, maybe 6 patrons total. She sat and fraternized with patrons who were obviously her friends, ate pizza that she made for herself while behind the bar and instead of being attentive when I wanted to pay the tab, SHE WAS TAKING SHOTS WITH HER FRIENDS while behind the bar. She acted super inconvenienced when I asked for my tab.. left and didn't stay for the comedy show. Bad service, bad attitude, unprofessional, infection control issue. Service like this kills DT business and foot traffic. Who wants to go out to pay for service like that? Martini Lounge bartender with cute glasses and purple hair is absolutely lovely.

    Sat for 25 minutes.... bartender never once asked my group if we wanted drinks. We even sat at the bar, Derek the Bouncer was super professional and respectful. But the Bartender didn't care about my group. I WILL NEVER COME BACK.

    Very poor service, the manager was seriously lacking social skills which was immiedailty apparent. Both of the bar tenders were uninterested, paying more attention to their phones then the customers. my suggestion is avoid the red carpet and go to a place that is concerned with your being their. Seriously disappointing

    Very unorganized (for the drinking late night crowd) got kicked out for standing in the entrance trying to here someone on my phone for having a drink in my hand they spilled my drink and disrespected me. Will not be coming back. This review is all because of the 2 bouncers at the main door.

    They put on burlesque show that sexualized kid shows as a “burlesque” show like blues clues And Mary poppins , we had enough and walked out to leave because we couldn’t support it. These are children’s educational shows. After we tried leaving peacefully They followed us out the door to yell at us telling us how we are wrong and republican even tho we have no political stance only morals. Would absolutely not recommend.

    My mom, sister and I went to watch my sisters boyfriend play in his band and arrived early to ask what time the band played. When we came back we where refused entrance inside even if we where watching the band. The bar had hardly any people. Will never go again. Can’t believe they refused our service and money!

    This place is like going to a house party. The Pub is the kitchen where everyone hangs out, there’s a basement bar called the Keller where all the stoners go and they have a bunch of side rooms to check out but no one hangs out in. All the parents are upstairs in the martini lounge chit chatting about how they are just glad the kids are drinking safely at the house while you wander around trying to find your drunk friends in this maze.

    Certain parts of it are great but I am 30+ years old and when I go out I don't want to be annoyed by college kids and refugees. The Martini bar is pretty good with a couple of good bartenders.

    Drove an hour from Minneapolis to see a concert. There are 3 unmarked entrances. The main entrance is small so getting out is difficult if people are coming in. A lot of congestion here. The bar tender was on his phone, looked at us walk up, then continued on his phone for another 30 seconds. The acoustics was bad and every inch of the place was loose which caused rattling from the bass. I've been to a lot of concerts over the years and never saw security tell someone to not smoke weed. But if that's a club rule so be it. I just thought it was strange when security rushed up to a guy and grabbed him on the back of the neck and said to stop. The only time I've ever seen security treat a guy like that is if it's well deserved and they're causing others trouble. Followed by kicking out. I was enjoying the show and was pushed about 7 times by security and they rushed the crowd to others to say stop smoking. People quickly realized to just blow smoke down and not up. I saw a guy get kicked out for dancing too much. Not kidding. He paid double the price to have a meet and greet and was kicked out for dancing. On a dance floor. He wasn't bothering anyone but security it seemed. Then I saw two fights break out within 10 minutes. One with dudes and one with woman. I've never seen a fight break out at a concert out of the 50+ concerts I've been to. I've never seen security harass people for smoking.

    For all the people who sure have a lot of naggy complaints, life’s though, get a helmet. People sure love to dog on a bar in down town Saint Cloud.. be so for real? The red carpet has such a diverse crowd and hosts such amazing shows and events. It’s not perfect, however the general public in Saint Cloud reflects a lot of the issues you’ll have at this bar. The staff & security would go above and beyond for anyone who needs help or feels unsafe. If you’re looking for a unique experience you’ll find it here, but go experience it for yourself, don’t let these trash reviews stop you from possibly enjoying a good cover band, drag show, awesome martini, or an incredible staff.

    We were there with a party of 6 on a Saturday night. Lounge was almost half full (50ish peeps) when we got there. 4 bartenders and we waited...... No one came to our table so we went to the bar-both sides. Never acknowledged until we asked how long the wait was. The nice bartender said he had 2 drinks and we were next. After sitting for 1/2 hour (and people that came after us got drinks), one of the guys said it was ridiculous and another bartender said, "WELL THERE ARE OTHER BARS AROUND HERE"! We left.

    I came here with my wife. It was the first time we've been there. Upon entering, we were greeted by a creepy little weirdo. He asked for our ID's, which we provided, and then he started interrogating me about what I was carrying, and asked to pat me down. This was only requested of me, not my wife. I tried answering his questions as politely as possible, but when I told him that I didn't want him touching me, he insisted that it was policy. I felt like this was way out of bounds for just trying to enter a bar. We just left, and I don't imagine we'll be back. If being groped by Tobias Funke is a requirement to enter your place, I guess I have better things to do. ✌️

    This is such an interesting place. It's a massive nightclub with several bars in one. We went there on New Year's Eve, and it was packed (as to be expected). It almost seems like it gets divier the farther you go down. You start at the top at the martini bar and make your way down. Each bar seems to be playing a different genre. An experience for sure!

  • 5/5 Jessie M. 5 years ago on Google
    This is by far my favorite downtown bar. The martini lounge: great weekday happy hour; with 2 drinks you get a food bar (fresh fruit, meat and cheeses, bars, and a homemade main made by the talented kitchen staff... In the summer there are even freshly grilled burgers made on the deck bar!) This is my favorite time to go. During the night it can get crowded, bartenders and servers always busy their butts trying to serve everyone in a timely manner. Wait times can be a little long, but mostly it's because of entitled drunk kids barking at staff. If you wait patiently and tip well you will have better service. Great variety of fun drinks. Check out Tuesday and Thursday nights when martinis are discounted. The pool hall: pool, darts, ski ball, ping pong. Tons of fun. The pub: they serve brats and hot dogs at night. Good specials, Dj's playing, definitely the "club" part of the bar. Check out the red room around the corner for a little quieter Vibe The main stage: music, drag shows, and burlesque shows all the time. Pretty good venue but limited seating at times depending on the show. I always enjoy coming to shows here! The Keller Bar: in the basement, has a divey vibe. Lots of shows here, also open mic night for comedy on Wednesdays. They serve heggies pizza! I love the red carpet, any time I end up there I end uo having a good time. As long as youre not belligerent and unruly you should have a good experience!

    De Ana, the new bartender at the martini lounge and the pub is doing great. Ask her about the bleeding joker. Decentish bar “club” otherwise. Not the best culture but you can’t ask for perfection in central Minnesota.

  • 1/5 Ted P. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered a Cabernet and a Manhattan. Was over charged on the wine (see photo) and the Manhattan wasn't great (a splash of whiskey topped with water and cherry juice). The waitstaff was enthusiastic and friendly, however.

    Very rude staff and they never close the right tab under the right people. They also will add a overcharge fee ever time. Their bar tenders are very bad at making drinks and food is so gross you will get sick. Also their shots are way over priced for what little u get in them. I would highly recommend not coming here. They are very Biased towards women and safety is also a huge problem here ever night!!
