first of all...I am going against the grain here but, I don't get why people love the red bar AT ALL. Maybe because I don't drink and I like peaceful places.
MY BREAKFAST WAS AWFUL!! Completely tasteless. Although it is cheap, I'd rather spend the extra $ for some decent food. Quality over quanity, which I know is not the red bar policy but it should be, especially at breakfast.
The place was so loud (stayin' alive at 8 am???please!), the food was terrible. I felt so sorry for the waitress, some older woman (who later announced to the entire room that she had to fart...did I mention this was an OLDER woman??...such class) kept coming up to her at tables and telling her what to do, asked me 5 times (at least) if I wanted refills on my coffee, after I already told the older woman, I was fine. The poor waitress just said "I'm going to go ahead and fill your cup, just leave it there so I won't get in trouble."
I have only lived here for a year or so but I think the red bar has a very limited fast-food type menu, which is fine for tourists but I don't get why locals think this place is so great. Just beacuase someone plasters a bunch of crap on the walls and duck tapes seats doesn't really make it a cool place (tacky & overrated would be more appropriate) to eat or hang out. I guess because there's really not anywhere to go in Grayton to drink and the locals here drink a lot, I noticed.. Or maybe just a southern thing, I don't get the hype AT ALL.:dunno:
Just my opinion:yikes:

I don't see the magic of the place either. I don't have anything against it. It's just not for me. Maybe if they took credit cards...

Two sides to every story? Or just a couple of posters who had bad experiences? :dunno:

No, not a bad experience. Just not my kind of place. So many others enjoy the Red Bar and that is great for them. Believe me, Oli is not missing my few bucks.

I love the Red Bar for dinner or lunch (when the tourists aren't in town so I don't have to wait) and their Halloween party rocks, but the breakfast is just a simple breakfast, not great food. It's a casual funky place and has its own niche.

People who want a gourmet or quiet breakfast should go to Hibiscus, Broken Egg, Blue Orleans, one of the coffee houses etc.
