The Red - Upstairs
This place is classy! It is in the old Santa Cruz Hotel, upstairs, and has beautiful stained glass windows; low, red-colored lighting; antique sofas, love seats, and chairs; and a fireplace--and they even serve dinner, too! No cheap beers here, only the good stuff! Try the mojitos! They rock! A great place for a date, but it does get crowded on the weekends late night. Sometimes a DJ plays in the lounge.
