Kind of reminds me of a local place for family and friends to check in but when the entertainment started it was loud and exciting. Best belly laughs ever. They are labeled as a "gay" bar, the only gay thing about the place is the level of fun you have. Straight customers that will visit again when we are in the area. They even had the Cubs game on when we first arrived.

I visited this bar for karaoke on a Friday night and am very unimpressed by the karaoke hosts and…read morethe way they managed their system: Here are the issues: 1. The announcer was intoxicated: A rule of thumb for karaoke hosts is to always be aware and able to run karaoke to the best of their ability. After several drinks, the KJ was noticeably under the influence and being rude while interrupting karaoke singers. He may have thought he was being funny, but it came across to me as rude and unappreciative of the singers. 2. The announcer would interrupt songs with commentary: The KJ would frequently interrupt the singers (on his mic) with commentary and jokes. I found this extremely disrespectful to the singers. It was distracting to the singers, the audience, and made me feel uncomfortable. 3. The announcer was rude to me directly: During one song, he started laughing and made a comment of "well if you were to do it right". I know he somehow meant it as a joke, but I was embarrassed and that was completely uncalled for. At the end of the night, he restated he appreciated me coming out and hopes that I'd return, but as a KJ myself, there are things you just don't do when running karaoke. Being sober and able to make good judgments, respecting people when it's their time to shine, and being courteous to those around you are essential. This will be my first and last time visiting the Red Lion Lounge.

No, it's good. I tried everyone else's food too. For you, all of you. Mozzarella sticks, decent, could've been cooked about 30 seconds longer. Fried clam strips, delicious, cheese curds, chicken wings, chicken gizzards, fries.... It's all really really good! Staff is super friendly, like they just rolled with it. It's a bar, small town Iowa, wood tables, hodgepodge tables and chairs, it's clean.

Great customer service! Cheap bar food and not too far from Tama. Stop in they use zing zangs!read more

The walls are covered with music art as is the theme. There is plenty of room to sit on a couch, outside on a patio or around the bar that is shaped like a guitar. They have free popcorn and you must try the Hammer Slugen. (Sp?) I believe it is a German game where you pound nails into a block of wood. They have a happy hour special and often have other beer specials as well. This is a nice place for an adult beverage. Although it is primarily craft beer they do have wine. Worth the visit.

This is a nice comfortable place to visit with several regulars having their beverage of choice while deep in discussion solving the world's problems. This is a typical sports bar heavily favoring the Chicago Cubs as you can probably tell from the name. There are pool tables, a jukebox, video poker and lots of TVs. Lots of lighting but the place still seams on the darker side. The only staff I saw was the man behind the bar and there has to be someone in the kitchen because people were ordering food. It looked like the typical bar food, deep fried and burgers. I have eaten here in the past and enjoyed that meal. Cubs fan or not this is a nice place to visit and you can feel welcome. Parking and entrance is in the rear so don't miss out!
