Saturday night party, despite it being very crowded, I liked the atmosphere. Nice people, good music. An incredible vibe.

Amazing all around but simply the fact that you can go to this place on a Sunday night/Monday morning at 2:00 AM and hear live music. Went twice in a short span of time and had very good food both times. This band called Scotia Rose was excellent on 4/7-4/8, especially the female guitarist-amazing!

The food wasn't anything amazing (in fact I personally think they could have been cheaper for the quality we received). We were also seated next to the speakers which I think was not the best spot for a date. (We couldn't hear each other at all.) We ended up just getting up and listening to the live music afterwards, which was much more fun. At some point, there was a not so pleasant musky smell that forced us to leave. Good spot for a beer and live music, not so much for a date or a meal. I will say the service was very nice. Waiters were attentive.

The place sucks because of aggressive drunkers and rude security who fail to do their job right. While ordering drinks at the bar, I was attacked by a drunk customer, who tried talking to me and did not like that I ignored him. In a moment, his friend calmed him down. But then a security man came and asked me (!) to leave the pub. He asked ME to leave but not the drunk attacker, as it would be expected in such case! The security person refused to show his ID or badge, he refused to explain the reason he wanted me to leave. Even though he acknowledged that I was not an attacker but the one who was attacked, he kept insisting that I should leave. He promised to tell me the reason when we go outside the pub, but when I went out, he said I can not get back in and closed the door right in front of me, without any explanation. And then, when I opened the door to get back in, he used physical force to get me out of the pub... Such never happened to me not just in NYC but in any city in the world. How come, Red Lion, you hire such people to work as security in Village, NYC?

I go for the music Big Eds Blues Jam but the food and service is pretty good too. Decent fish tacos and surprisingly satisfying greens and grain bowl

This rating is ONLY for the chicken wings. The ambiance and quality of music is 6 stars out of 5 stars. I have been here at least 50 times for music and this is the first time ordering food. I am a huge chicken wing fan. I'm no spring chicken, no pun intended :) Have been eating wings for 35-plus years. I ordered the buffalo chicken wings. They were really bad, truly inedible. I have never had so salty of wings ever. Not sure what sauce is used or maybe it was the bottom of the barrel sauce where the salt congregated but it was terrible.

Nachos and happy hour tacos were good.

Fun bar. Had a cover band early Saturday night, $5 cover. Drinks typically priced, house beer nice.
Good place for a beer music and a bite to eat. Wings were good ?
