I wasn't a fan of the QR code menu but the bar attendant was somewhat helpful. Food was tasty , the club at night has a better atmosphere then the restaurant during the day. Best oxtails in seattle 🔥

The music was amazing! DJ Y2K played Rwandan tracks, which made my night 🙌🤗. I really appreciate how he brings together sounds from Africa and the Caribbean—it creates such a powerful connection between the motherland and the diaspora 👊👊.

Editing a year later because we were so disappointed this weekend 08/2025. Afro beats night isn’t Afro beats night anymore. They play R&B, hip hop, and Caribbean music. The whole night they only played like 6-7 Afro beat songs.
music Afro beats on Friday’s was fire 🔥 they strictly played afro beats. Not hip hop, not R&B, just Afro beats!!! You can buy a section or you can stand on the dance floor (which most everyone does). We will be back again

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.

Great place to have lunch/dinner. Reasonable prices, amazing food. Staff is wonderful and welcoming. Could be a bit more generous with the rice serving. But overall a tremendous experience

Great place! However, very bad security associate at the main entrance…very racist and unprofessional towards foreigners who can’t speak good English… I was disappointed with the the security guy (black)…
