The Red Lantern

Look, it's a dive bar but it's Gay owned and frequented so it kinda feels like home. They have some theme nights and karaoke, and local organizations have fundraising events here often. They have a full bar and knowledgeable bartenders that have years of experience. Drinks are moderately priced and there's a pool table and plenty of seating.

Great bar with nice people. Make sure you open a tab if you're using a card. The guy gets mad lol.

Pool table covered. ATM machine is broken. The DJ is literally YouTube and there's no variety. I paid a $10 cover for what exactly? First, this is Fresno. Nothing here is worth a cover. This bar has some potential but as is...

the blue eyed bartender has a rotten attitude, otherwise It can be fun. Avoid this bartender he needs to retire already

Great place to meet friends or find new ones. Every one I've met here has been pretty good people. I've enjoyed Sunday karaoke and a few other days during the week. Never have I left not feeling good about visiting. Bar tenders are excellent. Fast friendly service and they make excellent drinks.

I haven't been to this bar since 2013. I move out of state and moved back and thought I was go visit my old stomping ground. I was so disappointed at the bar service the drinks did not have all the ingredients. Ordered rum and coke, Long Island and AMF. Very awful. Back patio was empty and they played the same old music from back 20 years ago. What was I thinking back then. I will never return again.

Nice bartender (I think his name was Colton). I tried to play the video game, but the video screen is partially obscured so you can't see what you are doing. The back patio could be nice if someone would do a little more cleaning and maintenance. Maybe some cheap plastic chairs would be a nice replacement for the hodgepodge of ripped and beaten chairs? I think shoving the pool tables behind the bar to store them looks sloppy - perhaps there is a better solution? The exterior sign needs to be fixed, and it appears the awning is torn. Still, the inside has a nice rustic look, and the dance floor area was a good size. Maybe next time I am in Fresno, this place will be better.

Larry the Bartender needs to be fired. He's drinks are terrible. He's quick to serve younger crowd. He ignores everyone else. He has a stuck-up attitude.

This is a fun and exciting bar, but more than this. The staff looks out for you, so I always feel safe

Awesome place. It's like a gay "Cheers". Great friendly people. Great atmosphere. Love the bartenders. Especially the new young one, Brady. Then I was privileged to meet the owner Virgil, who opened the bar many years ago! Out shines the other major gay bar in Fresno. Went away feelin' great!! When I am in town, this is the place I'm landin' at.
