The Martini Lounge

Great drinks (a bit pricey but definitely worth it)
Also love Friday happy hour with the free food buffet!!!

The martini is a very personal drink that, despite its simplicity, can be ordered in a variety of ways and this Martini Lounge has THE personal drink for you! The martini lounge is one place that really has it all: warm lighting, stimulating atmosphere, comfortable seating, delicious food with the happy hour deal, and most important, their bartenders are drink artists. I love the martini bar and go when I can, beware the bill can add up, but it is worth it!

Second time going to the Martini Lounge was not as good. A group of us, about 13, went back to celebrate birthdays again on a Saturday night. One of my friends was warned not to go there because the the ‘B’ staff was going to be working. Well, they were right. We had MANY empty glasses before the waitress would decide to come back. We would have drank a lot more if she would have come around. We liked going there because it’s a little quieter. We are above the college age group that can be found in most areas of downtown. But, I think we’ll be heading back to the places we used to go to.

The best place for Martinis in St. Cloud with a extensive variety and in my experience great feedback from staff while determining what to try. If you like more upscale places with great drinks its a must try in the Cloud area.

Went out on a Thursday night and drank $ 4 martinis. Their selection is EXCELLENT, and they are not stingy on the amount of alcohol in the drinks :)
I will say that the place is confusing, with several different entrances/​bars that seem to change during the night. At one point, one of the people in our party got trapped in another part of the bar because he went to get popcorn and then they shut the door!
A definite must-​try if you’re in St. Cloud.

I am a fan its not my favorite bar by any means there are places with better drink selection or better atmosphere but this is a nice combination
Its easy to find a seat any day of the week, great martini selection, friendly staff, easy access in and out without dealing with the bar crowd in the building décor is nice. They take credit cards here as well.
It is a bit pricey but not extraordinarily so, I would say the biggest two downfalls are that drink service is pretty slow this appears to be due to lack of staff rather than a quality problem, and that it is located on 5^th ave which is always crowded with drunk college students on Friday/​Saturday night

I was in St Cloud for a week. First night there I visited the Martini Lounge at the Red Carpet. Nice relaxing place to end a long work day. Great variety of Martinis and some interesting reactions on the menu. Nice staff, good drinks. I! ll be back when I visit again

This is a very nice place for Saint Cloud. The Martini selections are, of course, huge. The wine and beer selection is limited but you’ll find all the big national brands plus a few craft beers.
This place only gets two stars because the prices are high for what you get and the service is very mechanical and robotic void of any human emotion

I’ll be completely honest. I’ve never been here sober. So, there’s that.

«As good as it gets» for a city that has exactly one martini lounge. That said, they do a nice job with the martinis, the list is quite varied, and the staff is usually attentive and skilled.
The «Repeat Offender» martini is the real reason I write this review. Essentially a bloody mary martini, spiked with house-​flavored pepper vodka, it is a sight to behold. Rimmed with a seasoning salt and adorned by two or more large juicy green olives, this martini is a sure-​fire way to beat a hangover or begin a festive evening.
To say it is my drink of choice in the midwest would not be an understatement!

My girlfriend insists that a visit to The Martini Lounge is not a visit to the Red Carpet Nightclub, and the two should be separated even though they share the same owner and the same physical address. The Martini Lounge is upstairs, and the locals apparently don’t call it by the «Red Carpet» name, so I’m reviewing it as such.
She met some old friends here for a few drinks, and over the course of the evening the lounge became more and more packed. Pretty impressive for a small town on a Tuesday night. Tuesday nights are $ 4 martini night, so I imagine that was the draw for a lot of people. Good ratio of girls to guys, too. I didn’t move too much from our table, but it looked like they had billiards, and maybe more games around the back? Not sure, wish I checked.
Service was good and prices were cheap. Bathroom did have one of those gross pull-​the-​towel thingy that no one ever wants to touch, though. Why hasn’t that died out of existence, yet?
