My friends and I came in for a drink to end our evening and found this place to be a little quirky but very homey. We sat in the area with the couch, loveseat and chairs. There is other seating available with high stools and tables. We had three people check in us during our visit so we were well cared for. We didn't order food as we had already eaten. It's drink menu has about 50 martinis listed. This place has a laidback feel to it, very enjoyable. The martinis come out just slow enough to notice but not overly slow. Enjoyed our experience, we will return.

I went there with my parents the last time I visited. It's probably closer to a four-star for me,…read morebut it was the best place in town. I'm gluten free and the burger was good (the bun was great!), if ever-so-slightly too juicy. At first, the menu felt incomplete to me, only really having sandwiches. But the burger menu manages to feel special enough to justify this. The ambiance was delightful, but could use a little polish. They don't have good noise control because the hard ceilings and the hard floor reflect all the sound at the patrons. It's not terrible, but it's a detractor. The tables and booths are comfortable, but feel just a tad cheap. Not bad, but certainly room for improvement. And the back patio is a bit plain, you feel like you're missing out if you eat there. They should add some decorations, maybe a mural or something. The service was wonderful. It feels "Mom and Pop," but also like a well-oiled machine. It's close to being a landmark restaurant, but could use that final bit of attention to detail. So: not perfect, but the best place in town.

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.

Me and my sister had her committed a week ago for alcohol addiction she was actually picked up in this bar by the Linn county sheriff's so they have no excuse they didn't know she was in the hospital they can't say they don't know she has a problem. Two weeks ago I ran into one of their regulars says he's there off the book security guard he told me they know they over serve her but she promises not to drive home goes out into the parking lot and leaves anyway and they still continue to serve her. I'm a bartender I can refuse service to anyone anytime for any reason if one of my regular kids came to me and said I need your help please don't serve my mom I'd cut him off and not even allow them back in the building and I've had it happen before. I work across the street from Roosevelt lots of alcoholics over there, there were a few that I won't even let in the bar because I know they have a problem and I'm not going to be a contributor. These people don't care about anything but their money, I've had a conversation with the owner he knows, he gave me some sob story 2 years ago about his mother being an alcoholic and he promised me that he would help me but guess what he didn't. Don't support this bar don't give this bar any of your money

I chose the catfish po' boy with jalapeño corn. The corn was amazing, but the sandwich itself was just okay. My lady ordered the Nashville Chix with coleslaw. The chicken had the perfect blend of spicy and delicious. The coleslaw was really good, though I'm not a coleslaw fan, so take that for what it's worth. The atmosphere includes lots of TVs playing sports, a large bar, and at least two pool tables. There's also a big outdoor seating area with cornhole. It felt a touch run down when we visited, but we arrived just after winter, so it's probably very nice the rest of the year. The staff was attentive and friendly. It's also conveniently located near hotels, shops, and plenty of other things to do. I would definitely return to Scores.
