The vibe there was dope! Everyone was very nice and cool. Drinks were great and the DJ was a hit, playing a good mix of all Caribbean music. I didn't eat any food but my friends said the jerk chicken and beef patties were both delicious. No complaints I'd definitely go back!

i will say i keep going at a bad time, we walked in and was ignored for at least 10 mins before someone just told us to seat ourselves. we was told the kitchen closes in 10 mins so we had to order fast, we ordered and the food came and it was good. the drinks was good also. Food was good service needs some work.

My husband who is carribean, thought that this place was a must try, when he saw his country's flag hanging up in a photo on google. The food was cool. I ate mine with a pineapple drink (must try). The restaurant was somewhat empty when we went, maybe 3 others and the place is kind of big, with a dance floor in the center and a mini stage/dj area in the corner. They do have a bar on the side. Our waiter was a sweetheart and provider exceptional service...He also informed us that they would be having dancing and game night, that night and for us to come back ( this was a Thursday). We ended up going to their after party, and it was jumpin' . Carribean/dance hall music playing and ppl out on the dance floor dancing and a live dj. There were a lot of ppl, however, I didn't see security, but I wasn't looking either (saw this mentioned on another review). My husband played dominoes with others. I had one tiny negative encounter, but that didn't ruin the night. Would I come back, sure!

It is a wonderful spot with regular performances by Jamaican stars. Never crowded which gives a collegiate touch, especially when you have to be an arm length away from Queen Ifrica or any of the global reggae stars who make stops at this spot. The downside is their drinks cans be expensive. I ordered a drink and I was charged 12 bucks. When I ordered the same drink an hour later, I was charged 15 bucks. This is something the owners must change, for it felt like robbery to me.

Derek the bartender is fantastic! Fantastic vibes and even better music! Drinks are strong too. Bring your friends and dance all night, I’m coming back tomorrow!

Incredible Jamaican Food & Amazing Service!
I had an unforgettable experience at Red Lounge in Seattle! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were absolute sweethearts. My sister (who lives here) and my cousin (who was visiting) raved about this place, so I had to see what the hype was about and it did not disappoint!
The jerk chicken was next level falling off the bone and packed with flavor! I also tried ackee & saltfish for the first time and loved it. The rice & beans, fried dumplings, and golden sweet plantains were all perfect, and I washed it down with a refreshing ginger beer.
Huge shoutout to Clayton, our server, who truly saved the day. I was struggling with the menu, and whatever I wanted wasn’t available. He stepped in, picked the perfect meal for me, and even covered it because he felt bad about the situation now that’s customer service!
If you’re in Seattle and craving authentic Jamaican food, this is a must visit spot. Great food, amazing vibes, and a staff that goes above and beyond! I’ll definitely be back.

Me & my girlfriend went here on June 30th Saturday night it was amazing. We didn’t dance cuz we were little shy cuz there were all black people & we were only different nationality but we loved the way they were dancing enjoying.. All the people were so nice so friendly. We wanted to go back Sunday but they were closed. we will come again soon. We were visiting from Vancouver Canada .We read some previous reviews we thought maybe not good but we had amazing experience.Next time we gonna make some friends and dance with them cuz I love dancing.
Lovvvveee, love, love this spot. Food and drinks on point. Saturday and Sunday club night soinds legit if its paired with this food. If you are coming for the night club make sure you arrive at the door.

The lady taking cover fees admitted that she was pocketing some of the money. Other than that it was a pretty good time.

It truly is one of kind. The heart and soul for afrobeats and Caribbean culture here in Seattle. They provide a veggie “meat patty” if you arrive on weekends before 9. During the week, their specials on Tuesdays are unmatched. Multiple screens to provide sports viewing, while maintaining a great vibe for those enjoying food or drink. The bartenders are approachable without being overzealous in sharing their culture with you. It’s your honor to be here.

Good atmosphere. Food 3.5 stars, Very Nice StaffSome dishes are really exactly how I would have it back in Jamaica. The curried goat and ackee and saltfish dishes were very good and the fried dumplings were done to perfection. The brown stew snapper and and oxtail were okay, thought the oxtail had too much ginger the one time I had it.I've been here a few times and will come back. I believe they are reasonably priced and I love the service. The ladies especially are very nice.
