We stopped in to the red room lounge after a failed attempt at going to front and cooper - we went and there was no bartender to be found…? ANYWAYS, that’s besides the point because the red room was SO GREAT. We went around 4 on a Monday holiday and there were a few people lounging around and having cocktails. We didn’t have anything specific in mind and when we asked the bartender Ren if there was a cocktail menu she was quick to ask if we had things we normally gravitate to. We told her what we like and she made two incredible cocktails. As more people came and went we realized she knew everyone’s names and their preferred drink without them even asking. As we talked with her, we learned that the bar was a total locals spot. It was super cool, we got to talking and she made us two more really delicious cocktails. She even provided us with a list of places to visit while in Santa Cruz and we were not disappointed with a single recommendation on her list. Tip for travelers passing through, come here, talk to the bartender and get to know the lay of the land. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Ren, for all the amazing recommendations and for welcoming us as if we were locals like the rest of the people who passed through. We had a blast!
