Cali Red Lounge

Cali Red Lounge is one of the few Flushing Main Street bars which I visit frequently.

This Bar/KTV lounge is kept hidden within the confines of the building right next to Busy Mall however once you find the building, you just enter the elevator to the mezzanine level and you're there.

Upon entering, a U-shaped counter is in plain sight with couches and tables set-up to accomodate larger groups. Private Karaoke rooms were also available but I myself have never tried out their rig.

An abundance of different liquors are displayed on the wall with a few select beer options in the refrigerators. The available cocktails are generally limited to their menu but the owner Jasmine and the bartender Valentina can whip up a custom cocktail, provided the required ingredients are stocked up. Depending on which of the many bartenders makes your cocktail, the drink can range from decent to spectacular. I myself am partial to Jasmine's Irish Cream Coffee on the rocks. The prices are $6 for a beer and $8-$10 for cocktails. Non-alcoholic drinks such as coffee (instant) and tea are also available.

The service provided  during my numerous visits has been very accomedating. The bartenders ask you if you want another drink, refill your empty glasses of water or bowls of bar snacks, and even spark up interesting conversation; a perk not found amongst the other bars in Flushing which I have been to.

The main lounge area has a selection of various American and Chinese songs where you can easily sing your heart out with a friend. The music is generally loud but not overwhelming, albeit having to raise your voice to have conversation.

The incoming crowd is generally young and most of them are down to talk and relax. Based on my own personal experience, you can easily approach someone (assuming there is no language barrier) and just talk about anything or invite them for a game of dice or even beer pong. Because of its hard-to-find location, Cali Red does not get over-packed unless they have special event nights happening.

All-in-all, Cali Red is a great place to go to solo or as a group to just unwind from the stress of everyday life. The great service, ambience, and great crowd have made me come back again and again.

Great place to hang out with a group, they have a lot of rooms and karaoke bar in the main area as well!

The bartenders are pretty cute and owners seem cool to talk to..
only thing i hate about it is this bartender named JING

if you find her she is an evil witch who will make you drink your lungs out :P
