A local favorite dive bar. The crowd is mostly younger hipsters. They offer a jukebox for music, but it is usually playing good stuff from the White Stripes to Atmosphere. The smoke level is high and they don't have a patio, but they do have big booths and large tables in the back to accommodate large groups. The Red Dragon is mostly famous for their tropical drinks that are $5-7, but you will only need one or two before crawling home. Although they don't really have much in the way of a happy hour, most bottled domestics are less than $3. Word of warning! Don't eat here; this place is strictly for drinking.

im new to the neighborhood and decided to stop in for a drink. asked the bartender what everyone seems to be drinking and she told me the wonderous punch and warn me to only have one being its my first time. i took my time drinking it and enjoyed the crowd and the 80s music that kept playing on the jukebox. had a good time and stumbled my ass home and was in for the night. thank god i listened to the bartender cause my head is still pounding as i am up for the bathroom in the middle of the night. next time i will have to eat before i have those wonderous punches!! it was a wonderous time!!

Yeah, they raised prices on all their specialty drinks which sucks. It's hard as shit to find a seat on weekends but weekdays are better for hanging out.

The prices should be updated... unfortunately they have been raised (5-7 is long gone). The wondrous is now $10.25. Still a good drink and fun place but for the same money you can get a couple strong drinks at another cheap bar that poors them stiff. eh-

The wonderous punch will make you really feel it, lol!! Well worth the money. Tough to meet other people here though with the way the seating is. This is a good stop for earlier in the evening and then head over to a more lively social bar.

This is the best place to go in lower uptown if you are looking to get wasted. Its hard to go in and not come out drunk. i love it there.
