I’m not gonna lie the bartender was attractive. I lived in Jamaica for seven years and in St. Lucia would be two years. I missed the food and it feels like home there.

Truly unreal experience, vibes 10/10, service 10/10, food 10/10. Crazy delicious!! Came in for a late lunch w my girlfriend and was hella lowkey, dope reggae dub playing, server was crazy nice and welcoming, and the food was out of this world. Can't wait to pop back in!

My partner and I ordered the jerk chicken plate, jerk shrimp, jerk wings and plantains and everything tasted like it was made with generations of love and care, true authentic Jamaican deliciousness that will set you right!

Music can be better, but security is great here. Had a situation where a guy kept trying to get me to dance with him. Security noticed right away and responded quickly to deescalate the situation. Will definitely visit again

Subpar music and Djs. Themed nights are very poorly organized. Dance floor was pretty much empty. Been coming here for years bit it's deteriorated so much. Definitely not worth it anymore ?.

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
I visited Red Lounge for the first time Friday night for the Afrobeats Party, and everyone from the security to the young ladies accepting admission to the bartenders was very kind. But this review is about just one person I encountered that evening by the name of Aji/Ajai/Ajayi. I don't know how he spells his name, but a description could help: a short man in a too-tight pullover and an outdated fedora with a terrible attitude. When I gave him the "wait a minute" hand when he asked me and my friend to move so people who purchased a bottle could be seated, I guess that bruised his ego, because he then tried to curse at me and threatened to call security. Nothing in a club in Seattle warrants that kind of attitude, and if he doesn't have thicker skin, he should pursue a different line of work. I suggest leaving him off the floor and having less fragile employees interface with customers.

As soon as I stepped into the restaurant, I felt a sense of familiarity that made me smile. The Jamaican ambiance resonated with my roots and I knew I was in for a treat. The food was beyond compare - each dish was seasoned to perfection, fresh, piping hot, and authentic, just like the meals I prepare at home. The immaculately clean and orderly space was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellent service, which was further exemplified by our friendly and welcoming server. While the drinks were delicious, I was a bit disappointed to find out they had run out of White Rum. Nevertheless, I am already looking forward to returning for some dancing on Saturday.

Came here for the first time on my birthday weekend, excited to finally experience the hype for myself. As a Seattle native, I’m always down to support Black-owned businesses here, as they are very few and far between. The place was extremely crowded and I did my best to stay out of the way, but was ultimately pushed around inadvertently by others coming and going. Eventually I found a little spot to stand in. Apparently the area I was in was reserved, although prior to finding that out I had asked two separate people in the immediate vicinity if it was closed off. They said no, I was good. A few minutes later a woman steps up to me, just standing and staring. I step back to let her by, but she stays put, so I apologize and step back again and gesture for her to go by. She looks me up and down, rolls her eyes, finally goes past me, stepping on my foot in the process. Turns out she was the “boss lady” (owner?), who unfortunately attempted to intimidate me instead of effectively communicating by using her big girl words. Had she informed me I was in a reserved area, in a civil way, I gladly would have apologized and moved. I spent over $120 (two tickets to get in and 2 double drinks) and was only there for about 30 minutes. I wish I could get my money back. The only plus was the bartender who was lovely!
