Hipsters in Paris (2014) “Red House is the best place to drink above average cocktails at below average prices…It’s basically the perfect dive bar; friendly staff, quality drinks and excellent music (with DJs most nights of the week).”
Forest Collins (2013) “Giving clients a good time is as important as giving them a good cocktail…hungry locals line up to fill their bellies on taco nights and take advantage of one of the city’s best happy hours.”
World’s Best Bars (2012) “They’ve ramped up the cocktail list to include some inventive and intriguing drinks…The menu changes seasonally, so feel free to ask what’s good (or go for one of the seasonally variable Old-Fashioneds). There’s also, unsurprisingly, a decent range of spirits (especially tequilas) on offer. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and the cocktails are great value.”
Forest Collins (2012) “When I’m looking for a bit of fun over fancy, I head to the Red House…The spirits selection is smaller than in most of the city’s best cocktail bars, but it goes beyond the bottom shelf basics that you’ll find in most of the city’s laid back watering holes.”

A ÉVITER ABSOLUMENT : Nous avons été viré comme des mal propres à la fermeture par un barman aux tatouages dans le cou et sur les bras nommé “Gui Astoria?”. Sans un merci et vraiment très désagréable alors que nous avons dû lâcher une centaine d’euros? Inadmissible ! Je trouvais ce bar sympa et rock n’roll, je l’ai toujours trouvé cool mais sans ce genre de bonhomme qui pour moi n’a aucune qualité de barman.
