The Red Herring Lounge

Great venue. As a visiting musician I felt the engineer did a great job with overall sound and room acoustics. The bar is not large but has a 300 max occupancy. The aesthetics, decor, and overall "Vibe", is ideal for a great experience. Love the Story Tellers intimate limited seating event. Worth every penny. Bar staff are professional, fast and it's clear they love their work. Door security outside might make your tourists feel more comfortable and make more visible on the street for added street draw. I will be attending events here again.

This was a unique bar. Never heard of it until one of my favorite bands played a local show there. There's some framed artwork on the walls and it seemed like a pretty good location for a local concert since it seemed a little larger than most bar's sizes. Had a good experience and they actually know how to make some drinks that most places never hear of.

A great concert venue if you like loud and crowded. Very lively scene. Some bartenders are better than others so cocktails are a bit of a mixed bag as far as quality. The Herring is within walking distance of downtown, the Lakewalk, and Fitger's so it's easy to find food or join friends at another bar. Parking is all on-street, though there is a well-lit ramp a couple blocks away.
