I was going to mark this as two stars... so read on.. The only reason why this place isn't 1 star is because of the amazing Bloody Marys that the male bartender makes. Order it spicy and you'll be in for a great bloody mary.
Why this place deserves 1 star is because of the people who go here. Summing up one of the worst nights out, I walk outside the bar waiting for my gf to pick me up and some 50lb overweight douche bag storms across the parking lot screaming at me asking if I have a problem.. I'm thinking he's talking to someone else behind me cause I just stepped outside. Well I was wrong because this jackass is in my face pointing at me, drunk off his butt and smelling like his blood is around 80 proof. Anyways his friends jump out of a car and now I'm thinking great, this a-hole is starting a fight with me and now he's got 5 guys as back up.. So I'm ready to drop this loser  and get ready for a throwdown when they pull him off me, out of my face, and start apologizing to me profusely about "how drunk he was" and "he gets like this all the time," etc. Well if he gets like this all the time, then don't bring him out?!?!? I just nodded and when my gf drove up in the car the jerkstore was trying to break away from his friends and giving my gf bad looks.. Ok douche, she wasn't even at the bar and he didn't even know she was picking me up....
Anyways, while all this was going on, there were no bouncers, no bartenders, no one around who was affiliated with the bar and gave a care.. and I'm not sure the bar even cares that this stuff happens. And I'm thinking to myself, this is the second time I've seen someone get chewed out by a exuberantly drunk moron from the local psych ward. And according to my friends, this guy was doing it in the bar to another group and no one said anything to him then either.
So basically I'm left with the feeling that this bar is not safe, gives two sheets about keeping their patrons in line, and is a dump anyways. Sorry to call it a dump, but if the place is full of garbage (aka drunk idiots) and no one is cleaning it out or taking care of it, then the dump has moved to you. Â And if that weren't bad enough another buddy of mine told me that a couple years ago he was knifed in the parking lot.
I won't be returning, despite the really good bloody mary and honestly I'm seriously debating changing this to 1 star.. ok done. 1 star. I hate this bar.
Wow...terrible! Was looking for a good locals spot recently while in town, was referred here by a local at hotel bar who said this place was great. Got there only to find a dilapidated run down dirty bar(bathrooms were even worse!), but an unbelievable ratio of white trash and was even offered methamphetamine. Despite all this I was there for a drink and still gave it a shot, ordered a Jack and coke and got an incredibly weak drink with a huge price tag, I live in San Fran so I'm used to high prices but this was bad! So I gave up on the booze and decided I'd try the food...worst bar food EVER! Then when I asked to see the menu again(was still going to pay for the crap I got), I end up with some tall lanky guy with gauged ears who seemed drunk in front of me asking in an aggressive way what was wrong with my food. Was later told he was in charge of the kitchen, unbelievably rude! Ended up at 3 or 4 other bars in Redding that trip, all of which were night and day better! AVOID this place unless you're looking for bad food, weak overpriced drinks, rude service, or drugs. I love dive bars, but this place was BAD even for biker bar standards... 1st impressions are everything and this place was terrible
Review Source:On a afternoon outing the Stalker club of Redding (S.C.O.R.) made a stop by one of our home bases the Castle Lounge on Hartnell. In our reviews we cannot be prejudice but here at the Castle is a very pretty bartender named little Chrystal.She is always giving great service with a smile and with the bar having great ambiance it is a good place to go on an afternoon. the bar has great and plenty of seating and features a lot of TVs to watch. Pricing is good with a lot of specials. We give this bar a four out of a six pack. go on a Monday and ask for Chrystal.
Review Source:I was disappointed to hear a negative review for Castle Lounge, a bar I frequent and enjoy. In my opinion, to make an accurate review of a Bar, Cocktail Lounge, or a Night Club, one must go there on more than one occasion.
I am reminded of the song "I love this bar" by Toby Keith; all walks of life come in and are welcome at Castle Lounge. Â The core groups of people (regulars) are a caring loving bunch of folks that remind me of the television show "Cheers". Â The Castle Lounge currently has Karaoke every Wednesday night which draws a crowd. Â The rest of the weekday's people enjoy the 2 pool tables, darts, video games, Wii gaming system, 7 televisions, internet jukebox, and a smoking area when you can also drink your adult beverages. Â Weekends tend to be a little busier but people still have a lot of fun. Â On occasion I have seen several theme events including, crazy hat night, a toga party, costumed beer pong (Halloween), and many other fun events.
The bartenders and the owners are very friendly people and serve reasonably priced adult beverages. Â There is at least one bartender who has a talent for flair, and can spin, flip and dazzle you with bartender flair that you might only see in Vegas. Â Security is well maintained and the bartenders know how to handle the crowd. Â Also there are many video cameras that give you the added feeling of security. Â The bottom line is if you want to come out and have fun, enjoy reasonable priced drinks with friendly staff, and feel safe and secure, then Castle Lounge is the place to be.
This was a pretty cool place to drink, although expensive. Â The music was nice and loud, and there are a couple dart boards, pool tables, and interactive eat your dollar video machines. Â The bartender was pretty cool too, and it was fun to watch her throw out some fools because he didn't know how old he was.
The problem I had here was the drink price for a beer, and I do understand on the sign it does say what time it's at the cheaper price, but the writing's so small on the poster that you don't notice it as you make a rush for the door going in.
All in all this is a pretty ok place and I'll probably go back again at some point. If nothing else, it seems to be a good place to see someone make a fool out of themselves....
