There is even free pool one night. Every Saturday morning there is a loaded Bloody Mary that is fantastic. The staff are super friendly, as are most of the patrons. It is a very comfortable atmosphere. This is a "cash only" bar so keep that in mind. Stop by and have a beverage any time you come you will feel welcome.

I tried this place out on a Saturday morning with friends after we saw their Bloody Mary special on…read moreFacebook. It's really cool! They run a different-themed bloody every week; when we went, it was disco-themed! The whole place was decorated in disco balls and they had funky music playing, and even a photo booth with fun little props! The bathroom was pretty standard for a bar single stall, and was clean. The Bloody Marys were great and filled with cool toppings, and the drink itself was delicious and came with a beer chaser. They were even doing door prizes, and one of us won a giant bottle of tequila! We'll be back!

The wings were a lil salty for my taste and had to eat them with a side of their garlic dip which I love! Ordered a drink with Tamarindo Smirnoff. It was delicious! Since it was flavored vodka you really couldn't taste the alcohol on that one. They have karaoke Fridays so it was cool to hear ppl sing. The speakers were a bit loud ( reminded me of a club). Overall, good place to hang out.

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.

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!

There are several TVs if you are interested in watching a game. There is a back room if you are looking to bring a crowd but it would be best to call ahead.
