Red Carpet Nightclub

I'm a big fan and regular client of this downtown Saint Cloud spot. It's a very hip yet classy location to have a chill evening with your friends if the bar scene isn't really your thing. Tons of space and seating options, and the overall look is very very cool. The staff are awesome, they have tremendous knowledge of many drinks (not just martinis despite the name) so please ask about recommendations for beers, wines, and other liquors. However, beware of the prices. This place is pricey and may cause you to get a second mortgage on your home. I recommend using this as either a starting point, or end destination on an evening of adult drinking exploration around the downtown Saint Cloud scene. It also helps to have a vague knowledge of alcohols before ordering; some bartenders (not all) have a tendency to judge/shame you if you order a Coor's Light or some other generic beverage. Despite prices and hipster staff tendencies, I love this place and highly recommend it to all patrons visiting Saint Cloud.

Visited while in town at a conference. The beautiful bar area is on the second floor accessible via stairs or elevator. Once you arrive upstairs there's a lovely classic space with two bar areas and lots of comfy seating space. Our party enjoyed wine, margaritas, and beer on tap. They have a good selection of cocktails, and their beer on tap included a lot of great choices. We sampled some happy hour appetizers which included a nice selection of hot and cold items. We were there on a weekday evening, and there was plenty of room. I'm not sure how busy a weekend may be, but for a relaxing weekday, before or after dinner drink, I highly recommend the vibe here. The decor was exceptional and the bar waitstaff were friendly and attentive.

My girlfriend insists that a visit to The Martini Lounge is not a visit to the Red Carpet Nightclub, and the two should be separated even though they share the same owner and the same physical address. The Martini Lounge is upstairs, and the locals apparently don't call it by the "Red Carpet" name, so I'm reviewing it as such.She met some old friends here for a few drinks, and over the course of the evening the lounge became more and more packed. Pretty impressive for a small town on a Tuesday night. Tuesday nights are $4 martini night, so I imagine that was the draw for a lot of people. Good ratio of girls to guys, too. I didn't move too much from our table, but it looked like they had billiards, and maybe more games around the back? Not sure, wish I checked.Service was good and prices were cheap. Bathroom did have one of those gross pull-the-towel thingy that no one ever wants to touch, though. Why hasn't that died out of existence, yet?

I was pleasantly surprised with the music venue at The Red Carpet or the Carpet as the locals refer to it. This place is pretty big.I came to see a friend of mine play with his band and was impressed to find plenty of seating along with a decent size stage and area in front of the stage for people to dance if they were so inclined.There was a pretty good crowd and the accoustics were good which I appreciated. I'm not a fan of places that are too small to host a live band and the shrill ends up driving people away because it's too noisy. Our server reminded me of Karen from Will and Grace. She was fun and outgoing and attentive for the large group we had. Drink prices were reasonable.Would visit this place again whether a friend was playing or not. Overall I was pretty impressed. Everyone ended up having a great time.

Ever since my college days, the Red Carpet was the place for college students to hang out on weekends. What is it that makes The Red Carpet so popular? It's located in a large historic building, with many amenities depending upon what you're looking for.The bar has something for everyone: a band room, a dance floor, an event center, an outside balcony for smoking, the comfy Martini Lounge with wingback chairs and couches, multiple bars on multiple levels, skylights, Tiffany light fixtures, pool tables, and more.If you're looking to dance, they have you covered. If you're looking to pull up to a bar and be a barfly, they have you covered. If you want to play pool, they've got you covered. Few bars in St. Cloud have as many options (at least 9 bars).We've attended the SBOX SuperBowl party here for a couple of years and have enjoyed the ambiance of The Martini Lounge. There's truly something for everyone at The Red Carpet.

Mediocre at best. Bartender at Keller bar was sexist- a big ol fuck you. He also talked about how he hates fat girls. My beer was cheap-cool. I liked this bar because my friends played here live. The rest of the bar was subpar.

Went here on a Friday night and had a really good experience. Martini bar was cool and there was a band playing in the lower bar which was entertaining. Then I took a look at my bank account and found a few random charges on my card for amounts that I definitely didn't pay or amounts I didn't tip for. I'd recommend staying away unless you are paying with cash here...

After hearing that Dave at Barstool Fund made the call to The Red Carpet, one of my favorite st cloud nightlife experiences during in college, I knew I just had to go and get a delicious martini from the infamous martini lounge. I was excited by what private enterprises like Barstool could do to help, and I wanted my private actions to help contribute to the continued success as well.My date and I showed up early, around 6pm. Nobody was there except us and staff. As we were walking toward the bar to take a seat, I was reminded by the bartender to bring my mask up. Annoyed since there was no one else there, I brought it up to my face for the remaining 5 seconds of my walk to the bar. Then pulled it down. We ordered martinis and proceeded to chat intermittently with the bar keep. We asked what events may be coming up. They said they would be having a musician to test out if "people could handle the responsibility"...that annoyed me even more. Responsibility of what, exactly? Freedom? Those words rang around in my head for the rest of my time there. Was freedom not a god given right but rather a privilege we as citizens should be grateful our authoritarian betters have allowed us to have? I was shocked.About half way through our drinks a few more bartenders came into our viewing and hearing zone. Two of them were talking about upcoming plans and whether or not to visit Florida since "Florida is mostly open right now" one remarked. The other chimes in that "yeah that's because Florida is a wasteland". Without any more context the best I can tell is that they were referring to Florida as a negative place to go to due to Florida's resistance to dictatorial policies like those we live under here in Minnesota. To sum up, I was disheartened to see young people have such a low opinion of freedom in general and also the belief that individuals can not possibly make the best choices for themselves. I try hard not to blame these young people too much- their young and have a lot of learning to do but also have the world at their fingertips like I do. The social pressures are way more now than when I was in college. I hope they snap out of it fast.I wonder how Dave would feel if he knew his funds were keeping employed people who in my opinion could stand up for freedom a bit more.

fuck chris pitz. fuck chris pitz. fuck chris pitz. fuuuuuck chris pitz. fuck christopher pitz.

Martini lounge is as pretentious as the title suggests but it has a phenomenal free (2 drink minimum) spread of food during weekday post work happy hour. Wednesday night in the Keller Bar they have a free comedy show. Starts around 10. Crowd is smallish. Some sets are admittedly pretty bad but the few comics who nail it have tremendous sets.
