What People Are Saying About Red Fez

In Short
Lines are long, the music is fast and the crowd of college students and young professionals is loud and energetic at this New York-style lounge. Dark Middle Eastern interior and reasonably priced cocktails make it a good place to stop for a drink or two. The Latin-infused techno music isn't so loud that folks can't have conversations at the red velvet booths and tiled tables. Later in the evening, patrons dance at the small dancefloor near the entrance.

I hadn't been to Red Fez in a while and I forgot what an awesome bar it is!! Me and my girls went recently on a Saturday night and had the best time...the music was great, DJ was awesome, and the crowd was totally into it. I also don't know any other place in Austin you can smoke Hookahs, so fun!! Yeah, a bar in Austin that's still doing it's own thing, and not just all hip hop and top 10 radio music!!

Security guards plus the people walking past the 30 other people waiting in line and getting in as if they were VIP's... puh-lease. I did not see any reason for anyone to get any special service up in there. Pretty much looked like we were all on even ground. The only thing weaker than the long wait, and the door man taking bribes, was the mixed drink.

This is probably my favorite bar in Austin, every night seems to have something awesome going on. I understand how some people get turned off by the long lines, but check out it out during the week for really cool live music, Djs and hookas. Ask for Jenna or Max the manager behind the bar, they always give great service and make you feel welcome.
