This is a speak easy with house rules posted just inside the door. It is supposed to be a quiet place, with one of the rules being that patrons are to “speak easy” (quietly). When I was there a couple of years ago, this rule was enforced and it was a lovely place to enjoy a cocktail. Well, they don’t enforce it anymore and the place was ridiculously loud. Further, the music they piped in was some kind of techno pop/disco type crap that is totally out of character for the decor and speak easy vibe they want to present. Some old time jazz would be more appropriate. As the patrons got louder, an employee turned the music up, causing people to yell even louder to hear each other! When we arrived on this visit, we were the only people there and it was great, aside from the music selection. However, it filled up quickly and got so loud, we couldn’t pay our check and get out of there fast enough. It’s just sad and disappointing. The drinks were very good, the decor is really cool, but the music and rowdy customers ruin the experience. Every bar on the island is loud and rowdy, this is supposed to be the exception. Anyone who wants a typical bar atmosphere can go to any of the many bars here and party hard. Too bad this place has become like the rest.

We absolutely love the laid back atmosphere the Red Moon has in comparison to other bars an the island and bartenders know how to mix a good cocktail.

Dark and sultry with era-specific music. The drinks were made perfectly and the general atmosphere was simply seductive. Red Moon is the speakeasy to seek out in PIB!

A speakeasy should have good service AND MUSIC THAT FITS A SPEAKEASY. Not rock ‘n roll. So noisy!!! We have been here many times and will not be back. Slow service .

We visited the Red Moon on my first trip to Put-In-Bay this weekend. The drinks are very creative and delicious. The atmosphere was very dark and moody. The music wasn’t too loud. It was easy to chat. The staff was excellent. I would highly recommend this speakeasy, especially if you’re not looking for a party place but more of a relaxing drink.
We had the unfortunate experience of visiting this bar back in 2021, and it was, without a doubt, the worst service we've ever encountered at a bar. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted and given menus, but after we settled at our table, it took over 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge us. There were 2-3 bartenders present, yet they had their backs turned to us, and one was preoccupied with her phone. The cleanliness of the bar left much to be desired; the dirty glasses that were at our seat when we arrived remained there until we left. No one ever inquired if we wanted another drink, and we ultimately had to ask for our check in order to leave. Honestly, we could have walked out without anyone noticing!
While we waited for someone to take our order, we noticed another group come in, sit down, and then leave in frustration after receiving no attention. One of the bartenders simply shrugged, collected the menus, and returned to her phone. It was disheartening because the bar itself is beautiful, and with its unique history as the only speakeasy on the island, it could be a fantastic destination. Unfortunately, the service we experienced was unacceptable. Since that visit, we haven't returned, and while I hope things have improved, I doubt we'll ever go back to find out.

Delaney was fantastic! Excellent cocktails in a bar that feels very speak easy.
