About this space

Code Red is a bar that recreates a speakeasy-era interior; its defining quality is a theatrical, period-styled dining and drinking environment.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick and framed vintage prints with low-hung filament bulbs and red velvet booths. The long, narrow main room, dark floors and high ceilings create a compact but layered visual sequence.

Features: A full-service bar and in-house kitchen support cocktail service and plated dining. A PA system and speakers are available, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. Wi‑Fi, sections with natural light, wheelchair access and accessible toilets are provided.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social evening that mixes seated dining and a standing reception will fit the venue's combination of intimate booths and an open central area.

What sets it apart: Mixology classes use house-made syrups and fresh juices and include a guided cocktail session paired with a multi-course meal.

What guests say: The interior is memorable and carefully detailed, evoking a period jazz-speakeasy sensibility. The seating niches and long central room sustain an intimate, lively atmosphere.

The staff was terrific and treated us so well. The food was good and their cocktails were delicious. Also the atmosphere was a really great; cool prohibition theme!
