Avis sur Red's Place Alameda
This bar has a real classic, down-to-earth vibe. From the outside, the neon signs are super inviting—Coors Light and Tsingtao beer glowing in the window like a beacon for anyone looking for a good time. It’s got that old-school feel, especially with the “Red’s Place Cocktails” sign. You can just tell this is a spot where the regulars know each other by name, and they’ve probably been coming here for years. Inside, it’s cozy and a little worn-in, but that just adds to the charm. The bar itself is well-stocked, and they’ve got a decent selection of beers on tap. The decor is simple, with a few Asian-inspired touches, like that cool red frame around the mirror. It’s not trying to be anything it’s not—just a good place to grab a drink and relax. The seating is pretty basic—small tables and stools that probably get packed during happy hour. It’s not the kind of place you go for fancy cocktails or a gourmet meal, but if you’re looking for a laid-back spot to watch a game, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a cheap beer, this place seems perfect. You can almost hear the chatter and laughter from the regulars, making it feel like a second home for some.
Found ourselves for a after dinner drink. Quiet upon arrival and then the place was full. The bartender (The real Roxanne) was so cool, and poured mean drinks. Not a big place jit the personality and vibes are large. Bring your fun personality and social skills and have fun!
Great little bar with a ton of history. Originally opened before WW2 and has been around ever since. The owner was great and told many cool stories of the history of Red's. Also the bartender was very nice and helped me choose the best beers. This place has such a cool old vibe right smack in the middle of Chinatown. Recommend this place to anyone that wants to try something off the beaten path.
Omg, I was THE hungry 🐺, entitled 🐈, triple 🔥 yin 🐍 girl burning a path and hole through the crowd that night. Talk about an ENTITLED A$$hole #girlbehavingBADLY I was on SATURDAY NIGHT! Boi, do I OWE, Jebus Cripes. Mea culpa, oof. I owe some lucky $ in red envelope with cash and a jade talisman I have had for the longevity of this dual caned #RETIREDNINJA to HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE and do SOME REAL damage control for my terrible antics THIS Lunar New Year's Parade. It fell on a FULL 🌝🌕! The 🐰 were all out in full effect... I scared and ALMOST ate the parade mascot, Robin (unbeknownst to me). He looked yummy to me for some reason. I liked following him around. He seemed like so much fun! I see all of this crew in pix, and I just wanted to party luke it was still 1999 lol remember #Y2K lol #IDo I liked his energy. He was so frenetic, kinesthetic, and NEVER stopped! #EnergizerBunny #ForREAL Dude was a DYNAMO, AND he was likely there probably ALL DAY AND NIGHT before and after for the entirety of the parade route. HE reminded ME of what it was like when we used to do this. We WERE ALL the drunken rowdy anarchist survivalists on bikes w/2-way radios and pagers. THAT was back when we were an ILWU BACKED UNIONIZED STRONG PUNK FACTION in the SFBMA on PRIDE spectacle days! When we didn't cate whose parents saw us and mistook us for whatever. They had "aliases" and "costumes" then. Now, I need one to hide from my own past lol #OnceAMaiden #NeverAMother #NowTheCrone I disrespected my elders last night, and I learned a very valuable lesson. My charismatic 🐍 energy can be intoxicating, elevating, and dangerously volatile all at the same time.

Perfect dive bar. Friendly bar tender and regulars. Very inexpensive.
Been drinking here for over 15yrs I live every square inch and family member there. Jerry keeps the doors open and we keep showing up.

Touring the China Town area, we decided to have a drink at Red's Place and it did not disappoint! The bartender was so awesome and gave us a lot of tips and advice for the area as well as a fun experience! Will definitely return here when we come back to visit!
Karaoke on Saturday but they don't serve food so bring your own. Great small room vibe with great drink prices.
Really cool local spot in Chinatown. Stopped by to have a drink, everyone welcomed me as if I were a regular. Jerry & Cuong the owners were very friendly and the bartender was super nice. The crowd was really cool and Mr Wong bought a round for everyone including me. Really fun, had a blast. Will stop by next time I'm in town.

Well it’s a dive bar. If that’s your thing, this is the perfect place for you. Vibes were 6/10. Although, as I type this my boyfriend said “cool place to stop and crack open a cold one while i get dragged around China town.” So take it for what it’s worth.

Great hole in the wall bar. But the jukebox is playing the song “Banana Phone” non stop.

Thought this would be my go to karaoke bar. But they took my real ID and threatened to give it to the police. Gave it back when I showed my passport. Learn how to read an ID “bouncer”. Do not trust them.
They were so rude and did not believe that I was over 21 because I have an out of state ID. They tried to keep my ID even though I am legal and hated when I told them to call the police. I wish I could give them 0 star. Do not go here.
Don't come here if you have a older boyfriend or if you're gay or lgbt. Apparently the owner thinks I am shady because he seen me with a older boyfriend. Apparently he knows the situation so well seeing us together one time to make such a righteous judgement he must be Jesus himself
