When the students are away the staff will play….yay!
After work one Friday was our holiday party and it was at this place. The decor in comparison to other places around coney island was pretty nice, nice seating and tables. However, it was only filled with us. They were about 4-6 other people that came in, but that's it.
The powers that be must have worked out a pretty good deal for us to have finger foods…wings, mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, fries, fried corn, and salad…with all you can drink beer and cocktails. For the price we all chipped in it's a good price.
Now while this place is pretty cool to have your next shindig, do know that the food is so so and the fact that it's all the way in coney island may keep you away.
My first visit to this establishment was a product of procrastination. I was in the process of moving in with my boyfriend, and it was time to transport my cat from South Brooklyn to Manhattan's Upper East Side – on the subway. Without a pet carrier (I had a leash, though). I really did not want to deal with this situation, and I figured having a few drinks beforehand would make the ordeal a lot less stressful.
Anyone who has lived in Brooklyn is no stranger to the weekend trains being an absolute mess. I wish I had known about this place on days where I had to ride the train all the way to Coney Island in order to backtrack to my stop, as it became a habit for me to pop into the local Applebee's between segments of my journey to have a drink and regain my sanity.
The Red Door is inexpensive to drink at. Their selection of beers won't disappoint most people. I'm a wine drinker, and a picky one at that, and their selection is a bit limited, but I can cope with it. Their liquor selection isn't lacking.
The food is pretty good. It's inexpensive. The menu has changed several times since I've started coming here (which was in July of '15), and the options are sometimes sparse, other times not.
The interior is recently remodeled, comfortable, and chill. They sometimes have musicians or DJ's here. Don't expect things to be poppin' here in the middle of winter, though. If you're like me, and you don't like chaos, it won't bother you that there's not many people in there on most nights. Summer and certain holidays (I was in here on New Year's Eve) are a different story – they get pretty packed.
The bartenders I usually run into (Felix or Sasha) are really nice people, and this is now the main reason I stop in when I'm in the area. It's a friendly environment, and tends to draw a more respectable crowd than some of the other establishments in the area. You can't blame the business for who comes in, so don't expect never to see the occasional nuisance, but it's a bonus that things are usually peaceful here.
