The Redwood Grill

Cool little place. Nice live music and bands. Bartender a bit cold and didn’t even say thank you for the tip. So… whatever.

You wonder why I rate this 4 stars for all categories, but only give it 3 stars overall? Let me explain. I dined here on a Thursday night in November of 2023. Everything was fine, hence the 4 star rating across the board. Now to sidestep and explain why three stars overall, and why I won't return to this establishment. I wake every night, sleeping more than 4 hours straight is something that never happens for me. That night I woke about 2 am and relaxed in my hotel room. Before going back to bed, I thought I'd check my phone for messages/e-mails. I was surprised to see a text from my bank informing me that my credit card had been used to get a hotel room in Alabama. Really? I'm in LA, what the heck? I immediately called the bank and had the card cancelled. It turns out that someone tried to use the card SIX more times at the same hotel to get a room. The only place I used my card on Thursday was here, for dinner. I recall that when I paid my bill (I sat at the bar), the bartender disappeared around a corner to run the card. I don't know for a fact that my card was compromised at this place, but this couldn't have been a coincidence. At least in my mind. So, I'll not return, no matter how good the food is, or how good the band is.

The coolest bar I've visited in a minute. Vibes are immaculate. Drinks are strong and cheap. Pirates welcome. Drink up me hearties, yo ho.

Amazing vibes and burgers! Everyone was super nice and kind. Saw an amazing show with rad bands!

Shortage of bartenders, no food but great atmosphere and especially music by the Firkins Glimmwrs Stars and Ronnie Quid!
