The Reddstone

It’s closed and will no longer be Reddstone.

Oh, how I miss patio weather.
Don’t get me wrong — Reddstone is a pretty decent place year round… but the patio really makes this bar stand out from the crowd.
I stopped by for a drink one wintery Saturday afternoon and was surprised to see how empty the bar was. The bartender told me that winter is their slow season and they make up for it by hosting a lot of private parties. I looked over the menu to see if there were any vegan appetizer options (there weren’t) and decided to go with one of the seasonal drink features. I had a pomegranate martini. It was great! It tasted like actual fruit juice and not just flavored liqueur. My fiancé picked a seasonal beer from their extensive beer list. The bartender did a great job describing the different beers and even let him have a sample when he was unsure of what he wanted.
This bar is a great place to hang out year round, but I really can’t wait until it’s patio season again. You haven’t really lived unless you’re been day drinking on the patio at Reddstone.

Best Service Ever !! They were slammed busy & still made me feel welcomed. The hostess went the extra mile to get us a table, our server practically wrestled a crowd to get us drinks! This is a fantastic little place.

Really good food, comedy shows go on upstairs, good drink prices and selection, nice outdoor patio bar

This review is based on service only. We didn’t even get to the food or drinks.
We went to Reddstone on a Thursday and were told there were no seats outside, and to sit inside which is fine. When we got in, there was a trivia night that was pretty fun, but we sat at our table for a long time without service. We finally asked one of the staff, but he told us he was a bar back and didnt know if there was table service, which was strange. Finally after another 20 or so mins, the bartender came over to tel us there was no table service. At that point we had had enough. There’s no consistency about when there is service and not. Will be hesitant to come back

Eh. This place always smells like a moldy sock. Anyway, service is pretty relaxed here to the point of servers and bartenders pretty much completely ignoring you. The drinks are okay, nothing special. They’re overpriced in my opinion, but that’s coming from the duchess of Now That’s Class– I’ve officially ruined any realistic expectations of bars for life. The most redeeming parts of Reddstone are the patio and upstairs party room. The patio is pretty, large, and has an outdoor bro bar for all your bro needs. I feel bad for the homeowners directly next to this spot though– it gets pretty loud.
The upstairs room is nice and I once went to a Christmas party there. The small stage and fireplace were useful. Then again, I went to a meeting there on another occasion, which was upstairs, and there was no heat and no service. We were shivering in our coats in the middle of winter.
As for the bar menu, it is weak. Meat-​oriented, unimpressive bar food. The last thing I ate here was a quesadilla, and the cheese wasn’t even melted. That’s typically the one thing you can count on in a quesadilla.

This is a great place with an awesome patio with affordable delicious food and drinks. We will definitely will be back to this hidden gem in battery park. It is kid friendly, bike friendly and dog friendly. Great service. Love it.

We went for brunch on Sunday and couldn’t have had a better experience! The patio is dog friendly and all the employees were super nice to us and our dogs. The food was fresh, local and organic. The chef really focuses on presentation and flavors. The manager came by all tables to make sure everything was okay, good guy. The place is a hidden gem for sure!

Great place to hang. Great food specials. Great happy hour. Tuesday nights are free comedy night. Usually starts around 9:00. I usually come up every Tuesday. Who doesn’t like to laugh, enjoy good food and booze. If you haven’t been here before. Make it a point to come out.

Had to walk to the bar numerous times to order our beers and a burger. When we spoke up about we get attitude and were told «your server came in late»…what the hell does that even mean? She was waiting on us initially and then dissapeared for a while then we see her B. S ‘ing behind the bar. Now why do WE get the attitude? 7 people all with empty beers/​drinks but WE are wrong? Come to find out guy throwing the ‘tude around is the owners brother! Hahahahah hell of a way to represent business… I will wait till the end of time if you keep my beer full and have somewhat of a nice disposition but I didnt get anything of the sort… If your gonna charge people 8.00 dollars for mixed drink (in an oh-​so original mason jar) at least try to fake be nice.

First off, Food: 4.5 stars. Service. 2 stars.
I have been here multiple times, and sat at the bar. This time I went with family for Taco Thursday and sat in the back patio. For such a popular place, they were sorely under-​staffed. Our food and drink orders were taken fairly quickly, and the tacos were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the jerk chicken!!!
When it came to getting our bill, everything went downhill. We had a Groupon. It took over twenty minutes for our bill to be «calculated.» My husband went to go look for the staff and it still took more time. What is so hard about using a calculator and jotting down a redemption code? Surely if a business is going to do a promotion through a popular service like Groupon or Living Social, they need to be prepared to honor the coupon in a timely manner.
Overall, I will probably go back for tacos, but I know for sure that my family will refuse to come with me. Poor form, Reddstone. You need to up the game.

One of my favorite patios in Cleveland. Food is reasonably priced and drinks are expensive. Fun spot to hang out at until around 11 PM. At that time the staff will ask that you be quiet due to the fact that the neighbor’s home is literally 5 feet from the back bar.
Tasty food and great space that is worth the visit.

I went here for the first time on Valentine’s day with my non-​valentine date. Reddstone was having an anti-valentine’s day party. Pretty cute with black flowers and anti-​valentine slogans posted on hearts on the wall.
The bar is small and they had a dj playing average music. There was not a dance floor or room to move around for dancing, but hey, you want a dj… go for it.
The booze was booze and I wasn’t unhappy with the selections. Reddstone has a menu, and while I didn’t order anything, my non-​date did; the food looked delicious, and the portions were HUGE!
My one complaint was that after a certain hour a different dj appeared and the music volume went from tolerable to ridiculous loud. I had to SCREAM to be heard. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a music lover, I am, however, not deaf yet and would prefer to keep my hearing in-​tact as long as possible. I know the general consensus is louder = better, but this is SO not the case. My non-​date and I ended up leaving because we couldn’t even carry on a conversation.
Would I go back? Sure, I liked this cute little «hidden» gem in the heart of Battery Park. I will however leave if its too loud to speak and hear at a reasonable decibel.

My first visit was for the Sunday Brunch. I purchased a Groupon deal online. The location was is convenient surrounded by the new battery park condo’s.
The place was pretty busy of adults and kids. However there was one server and a bar back helper working. The service was horribly slow. I asked for water 3 times before we got it and waited for coffee refills too long. The server was however friendly which helps considering we had to wait a long time for service and ask repeatedly for things. The food was very good, warm, and flavorful. HANDS DOWN THE BEST PANCAKES I HAVE EVER HAD! Overall the atmosphere was nice, I really liked the lights and tables. I will go again but hopefully they will be fully staffed when I do! And they played great upbeat music!

We went for some birthday party action, up on the top floor. This place has been on my radar for a while after hearing several people telling me i need to go. We actually had a great time. I love that atmosphere inside. We didn’t really hang downstairs. Our bartender was AWESOME! She went above and beyond for us, I did feel bad at some points she kept having to go downstairs for food and drinks. Speaking of drinks, i really like their menu. I discovered their magical Basil Berryade, which is amazing! I had a few of them!
we eventually got hungry. We ordered some nachos and hong kong noodles. nachos came out piled high. nachos were above average, but not to far, they did have a nice spicy kick to them. The hong kong noodles were horrible. I loved the concept; beef salty noodles and an egg. but they were sooo salty. I’m pretty sure they just cooked the noodles in full flavor soy sauce, which was then reduced even more. so pretty salty, and just about inedible.
ill try ‘em again. def taco night. love me some juicy taco.

This place is literally a block away from where I live. I could walk there in 2 minutes. And yet I’ve only been there once, and not sure if I’ll be back. The patio seems nice though so maybe I’ll be back in the summer for that.
The menu is very limited, especially for vegetarians. I wanted like a side of something to go with my beer. There wasn’t really any other option so I got fries. Turns out these are the biggest pile of fries in cleveland. They were well flavored, a bit salty even.
The place is nice and cozy. Beer and drinks are fine, nothing to rave about. I didn’t pay that night so I don’t know what the damage was but maybe next time I’ll use the Unilocal 10 for 20 deal. But really there’s like nothing for me to eat here. Too bad. Maybe it’s good for the omnivores. Maybe I’ll come for comedy night. When is that?

Not on the top of my list of places to go. Here’s why:
I’ve been here a handful of times. Ownership has changed a couple different times. Once I came here after a browns game, and didn’t feel like drinking beer, so I asked the bartender if they had any wine. Instead of a simple, «No, I’m sorry, we don’t,» the bartender decided to get smart with me and, which quite an attitude, said that if I wanted wine, «you can go across the street where there’s a wine bar. Why would we have wine here?» Really dude? Why would you have customers here? Or should I say how and not why.
The patio is ok, some parts of it seem like it needs some weeding. The only reason I would go here if for taco night, or if I wanted to sit outside and/​or taco night. This place is really hit or miss. Service sucks. Rude rude rude.

I have vague memories of this place, bittersweet. I arrived on a normal friday evening to grab a few drinks and a bite to eat. The food is pretty good, from what I remember anyways.
I was with my gf at the time and my best bud, you guys know him simply as, PW, anyways some super drunk girl was on the prowl. She made her way, let me rephrase, she stumbled to each table that seemed suitable for her to flirt with whoever. The guy at the table next to us was with a beautiful woman, who stepped to use the ladies room, while away, this raging s*** walks up to him and flirts, he actually started flirting back (scumbag). Next she makes her way to my table and looks straight at me and starts flirting, it’s so apparent I’m with my gf, why couldn’t she hit on the single guy, furthermore, why hasn’t my gf said anything by now!!!
She was a badass P.R. girl and usually welcomed fights with open arms, I was shocked and jumped in and told her what I thought of her belligerent behavior. After spewing out more than a few profanities at her, she decided to throw a full glass of beer all over me. I was heated, instantly.
The look on her face was priceless, it was blackout mode for me though, I can imagine the snarl on my grill, lol. I stood up and with lack of better judgement whipped my Heineken bottle in her direction and it busted in-​between a very nice couple who were understanding of the situation. Everyone wanted her gone, she was a wreck!
In the end, our tab was on the house. Alls well that ends well.

EDIT: The FREE stand-​up show is now at 9pm on TUESDAYS, the same night they have $ 0.35 wings (try the wasabi ranch!) and some beers for $ 3.
EDIT AGAIN: As of March 2014, the Tuesday night wings are now $ 0.45 and they did away with the wasabi ranch (*SOB*), but there’s still some decent beers for only $ 3 and the Tuesday comedy shows are still free and hella funny! Also, there’s an additional comedy show MOST Saturdays for $ 6.
Original post: Here for MORE free comedy thanks to @BlazerRamon ! Every Monday night at the @REDDSTONE, the draft are $ 3, small plates are half off and the open mic comedy is FREE!

Food: I had the nola burger with fries (10 bucks). It was all really good. The only negative is that the burger is one of those «taller the better» deals, where unless your jaw hinges like a snake, you won’t get from top to bottom in one bite.
Drink: Average beer selection including several micro’s.
Service: Nice guys
Atmosphere: small neighborhood pub feel. nothing fancy.
Overall: Great food with average prices and good service. Don’t let the outside of the building keep you away, definitely give it a try.
