Red Balloon Saloon

So I have been going to red balloon for years! Ever since I turned of the age to drink. It's consistent and doesn't let you down (and will get you there lol).The food is typical fried bar food. But it's still decent and let's you soak up some liquor lol. The drinks are pretty basic, don't expect super fancy drinks but they will get you where you need to be. The ambience is decent, pretty long bar with plenty of tables and a billiard table as well. If you want quiet, this may not be the place for you. They have TVs and play pretty loud music. They have a juke box so that you can even request songs yourself.The parking is free lot parking but it isn't a lot out front so you may have to park in the back if it's a crowded night. The establishment is in a small shopping center so you have to take whatever parking you can get. The back of the building has a huge area for parking though so aside from a potentially long walk, you should be fine.The staff can be hit or miss. It really depends on what kind of mood they are in lol. Never had any bad experience though overall, but sometimes they don't give you that 5 star smile. This is a good neighborhood bar that has a lot of character. I will always ride or die for red balloon.

My daughter plays basketball at the Franklin Athletic Center next door and my 65 year old mother had nothing to do for 2 hours while she was in the area waiting for the game to start. She contemplated between Burger King and a bar and settled on the "balloon saloon" as she called it. She stumbled into basketball after two purple rains stating she had the time of her life. She met two bartenders and three patrons and it reminded her of the bar she worked at in her twenties. She danced in her seat and had some good eats.Thanks for the hospitality for my ma!

Great night out! We went here for my friends birthday weekend and we had a blast heavy drinks and good bar food need I say more!

Drinks was the bomb! Grilled cheese with Swiss and ham was good. Soaked up the heavy alcohol drinks! Bartender was on point and friendly.

Neighborhood bar, noticed it before but never been there. Stopped in recently and had a pretty good time. Nothing special about the menu, typical bar food. I had the cob salad which was pretty good. TVs all around, pool table, decent sized bar area. Servers were nice and attentive. Bar manager . Seems busy with regulars that LOVE the pool table area...LoL. Pricing is on par. One buddy had a burger the other had fish. Last one had the tenders. All seemed happy with selections. Never know I may try and visit again sometime.

the food is good--typical drunk food, the service is good, only get the drinks if you don't wanna make it home (they are HEAVY handed bahahaha) the ambiance is TOP TIER! always a great time!

Located in a strip mall, typical bar that serves food. Even has a pool table in the back. I was there with a Meetup group that is connected with Mensa. We had over 20 and was able to get seated right away on a Saturday evening. Wait staff didn't blink an eye lash and even planned on separate checks. Took drink orders, so happy that they had Coke products for us non drinkers, so we could look over the menu which is larger than most bars. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and normal apps. I ordered the smaller burger which wasn't a slider but like a regular hamburger at fast food. Got cheddar cheese and side of onion rings. I don't blame the waiter for the slow food since he went back to the kitchen a few times. The number of items on the menu had to slow a small kitchen. Burger was good for a bar and the onion rings was hot & good. Even warmed up they were good.NO dessert on menu so my bill was just under $10 which was reasonable. The background noise kept conversation to just those next to you. Don't know if the group will be back after next meeting, but will join them if they do.

Balloon saloon is a great neighborhood type of bar. The music is always loud and a good time. The drinks are strong and the food is good. It gets crowded on Friday and Saturday nights but the crowd is fun. I'm not really into crowded bars anymore but I always have fun at balloon. If you're looking for a place to have a drink and relax this is not the place. You come here to laugh loud, drink good and have fun.

When I'm in the mood for a bomb burger, I can count on Red Balloon Saloon! The was huge and cooked medium just like a requested. This was my first time ordering a burger, but this won't be my last. We also had potato skins which were cool.

I have been going to the Saloon for a while. Would always have a great time. My last 2 visits havent been great. The wait staff are rude, impatient and not appearing to want to assist you. Whenever I would attempt to order drinks, instead of stating we dont have ingredients for a White Russian "cant do that" was the response. The inability to have your own bill even with a party of 4. The billing and payment changes are very odd. Needless to say, time for a new afterwork spot.
