text: I think I am going to review all the bars I go to at YOU of I in addition to restaurants nnMaybe the bar owners will actually read some of this stuff Maybe flying pigs will abduct Alma the night before finals Who knowsnnIve been to Red Lion probably times and tried to convince myself to like it but I cannot nnThe line to get in is usually really long there is always a cover charge of at least and it is always a loud highenergy dirtysticky haven for UIUCs finest undergradsnnThe layout of the place is actually pretty cool its really big if you count the outside areas However the place is pretty nasty The floor is sticky there is empty glassesbottles everywhere and the bathroom reminds me of when I used to go river fishingnnEveryone seems to dance on the elevated dance floor and tables but I have almost wrecked myself a couple times and I was not even that intoxicated so there is a potential safety hazard there Additionally I have seen a guy literally fall backwards off a bar stool a couple really close to having public sex and not to mention countless airborne beverages that have partially landed on or close to me Yup it is that kind of placennThe bar service here seems to be a little quicker than most of the other bars but still does not appear to be really that great in my opinion Half the time the bartender cannot even hear me and I always seem to keep getting pushed back in the queue of people to be served which is aggravating Even when you do get served it appears everything is really expensive for a bottle of Miller Lite Meh nnThe inside bouncersbarbacks usually are not too bothersome Although on one occasion they were checking for wristbands like Nazis every minutes for anyone who had a drink in their hand It was annoying excessive and I wish I knew why perhaps an incident occurred earlier I really do not knownnThe outside bouncersdoor guys are even more aggravating My ID was given a CSI style investigation between checkers complete with a nearly degree bend test that literally almost broke it in half It was initially deemed fake by the first checker but after giving it to the second with a flashlight my stateissued ID was surprisingly real I now have a creased drivers license Thanks Red Lion I might just have the secretary of state bill you for my next one nn the place is dirty obnoxious expensive and I do not care for it The only reason you might consider going here is if you drink a lot beforehand and feel like dancing or getting pushed around by randoms while bad music blares throughout the castle
