    Alien Brain aka yummmy!!! Had to have 2 of these... they'd so good!!!
    Jeremy F.

    Ever heard of the Lochness Fish of Redding??? It's in this bar in the aquarium on the left if you're sitting at the bar and it only comes out if triggered by cool ass ppl having a loud fun time which was us and of course if it's provoked. I'll post a pic bc the bartender literally swung the aquarium (which is hung by chains) to get this beast to present itself. We visited my brothers favorite bar in Redding which is connected to the mall... genius location... family can shop and others can drink, eat and catch the game. Very friendly and experienced bartenders too. I asked for a difficult drink (or so I thought) and was given a pretty damn good version. I heard it called alien brain and the bartender said she's heard it called other things which I won't repeat here but you can ask them. All in all, I can totally see why it's my brothers favorite bar. The chicken tenders were decent but the poppers were awesome!!! We will be back. :-)

    The Vault is a great place--it was my Pink Pony Club, though I am from LA originally. I've lived in…read moreNorCal for 16 years, and when my marriage fell apart, the Vault was there to give me hope of a new start. I worked at a bar in Chico as a cook, and have gone to bars in that town and Redding, and by far, The Vault is most like a home. Everyone there, maybe like in all bars, are either young and full of wonder, or refuges from the wreckage of matrimony. I found love there. I found a place to shed my tears and dance my troubles away. I found people of all genders to be compassionate, welcoming, fun, and that type of people can only flourish and congregate in a place they feel safe. I am lucky enough that I always feels safe, but I can see that less generally foolhardy people will find this place especially safe and welcoming. It is cozy, it is the perfect size, it has denizens, it has people you will see over and over. When you keep coming back it becomes like Cheers, or the Central Perk, or whatever bar those white people from How I Met Your Mother hung out, except with more drama and sex. Like the best places, there is a blur between owner, bartender, client, stranger, friend. We are all one there, we are all welcome.

    Fun little bar. Friendly staff and customers. Had a very large trans presence which I felt was odd…read more I live in a major Metropolitan area that has many gay bars and we don't see that percentage of trans people in them as what I saw up here. Not being negative, just pointing that out..

    The Dip is probably Reddings Crown Jewel when it comes to night entertainment for locals and…read morevisitors. I frequent just to play the pinball machines because they're the only place around that has any arcade machines that I've seen so far. The music is great they allow patrions to choose the daily set list from Spotify so you will never hear the same song twice. The stage, lighting, sound system, and most importantly the staff. Caleb will be you're more present mixologist, and if you get to see Aaron, one of the owners drop a fist bump to both these dudes. They are literally some of the coolest people you'll ever meet. They have an awesome selection of libations to choose from. Even some of their own special mixes. That go awesome with Lays, tajin and lemon juice. Trust me. For those who have only heard of the WHISKEY A GO-GO, CBGB, CHAIN REACTION, THE DOLL HOUSE, OR ANY SIMILAR BAR OR CLUB THAT HAS A SMALL STAGE LIKE THE DIP YOU'LL ALWAYS FEEL LIKE HOME. This is the place to be only slow night just to get a refreshment or when the night is young and rock begins to roll. No matter what this is the joint to be. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET THE EXPERIENCE.

    One of the greatest bars to go to. The beer selection is…read moreone of the best in Redding. The live music is just a plus about what they have to offer. And they got pinball
