I love the Red Door! It's chill on the weeknights and packed Friday and Saturday nights. The bartenders are friendly, and the food is good if you're looking for dinner. The inside is dark with wood all over the floors and walls. It's a good place to bring a date during the week- but go on the weekend if you are looking to meet people. Pros: Food, crowd, service Cons: can be too crowded on weekend nights

For your information, johndarksinned (nice Freudian slip, pal), we DO discriminate against one type of people: jerks with no social skills. Where do you get off thinking that you can belligerently hound our staff, call them "white trash" to their faces, and then have the gall to accuse us of being bigots? I've done some checking up on you with some friends I know in the service industry, and all of them say that you're just the kind of classless, annoying, petulant creep that would pull a stunt like that. In the future, you'd better have a leg to stand on when you go accusing people of something as pernicious as racism, be it personal or institutional. Too bad you're not welcome here; otherwise you could come in and see just how many great folks of every stripe and walk of life we have working here. And to those valued, loyal customers who are kind enough to come see us when they can, thanks a million for your continued support and generosity.

After wandering around the Fremont Sunday Market we stopped into the Red Door for lunch. I had the fish and chips, which were greasy, but delicious. My husband really enjoyed his mushroom burger, and we thought it was a nice touch that you could get a salad or chips instead of fries. I went with the fries, however, because they were hand-cut and delicious! When in Fremont, definitely give his place a shot.

I stopped by the Red Door on Saturday afternoon for some Sangria and ended up ordering their Sliders. These are 4 mini burgers and they are absolutely delicious. I think it would have been possible to eat about 15 of them. Their Sangria is served by the pitcher and for $15 you get 4 pint glasses worth. It's refreshing, packs a decent punch and is not too sweet which makes it just about perfect in my book. Enjoy.

I can't believe in 2006 a place would have racism, in Seattle? This is probably my 5th time, I have been there. This place, has the biggest classic case of the good old boys. Peter the bouncer agreed with me tonight. I am technical, non nerd looking guy, who wanted to stand up for a woman who was not being served in her turn by the classic Jock Bartender. I spoke up, and I was not only discrimated against, Peter the bouncer was called in. Pros: Location, hard to get to? Cons: terrible white trash serice, classic old school suburban place?

a previous post said the bar tenders were cute, Yuck, I thought they were ugly. Short, skinny, tanned at the local tanning salon, bad features. Some people there were cute, but not like all the other places in Fremont. This place has bad food, slow service, and uhh Ugly people! Pros: Location, but so hard to park Cons: bad food, bad service

I don't get to Fremont often but I always like the Red Door for a pint. They've got lots of beers on tap, a good menu, couple TVs with sports going. The crowd and the staff are always laid back and friendly. The place is pretty big so even if it's full it doesn't feel too crowded.

The Red Door is a historic landmark - so much so the whole building has literally been picked up and moved to make room for newer, swankier, Fremont "improvements" *twice* in its hundred-year-plus history. In the summer of 2005, the addition of a new partially-covered, heated(!) outdoor bar on the big patio made it one of the most popular places to meet friends, see and be seen on Thu-Fri-Sat nights in Fremont. It's also a great place to have lunch on weekends, where you can enjoy the weather, a drink or two, and partake in some fascinating people- (and dog-) watching overlooking the popular Fremont Sunday Market. With the smoking ban now in effect, the Red Door has changed a fair bit on the inside too - it's much less crowded on weeknights, and is somewhat more tolerable on the crowded cold weekends, when it regularly becomes an annoyingly just-out-of-the-fraternity party- and pickup- bar for people from far-off lands like UDistrict, Bellevue and Renton. The bartenders are uniformly excellent - often, and dependably, relied on by regulars to mix up a custom "something good" - and there is a great variety of microbrews on tap, often with tasty "beer-of-the-month" pints for $3.25. There's a side room fun to reserve any night for gatherings of up to ~30, and lots of places to sit bigger groups of up to 4-10 if you score them early. Music is bartender's choice, but is often well suited to the crowd at any given time. Food is fairly inexpensive typical pub food, but has some notable items - I like the big Cobb salad when you add the tasty seared tuna, the grilled turkey-swiss sandwich makes for a warm tasty-greasy sponge for a night of sessioning good beer, and the nachos (the menu touts "we layer the cheese throughout!") are good to pick at if you're with a crew. You can get most of the above just about anywhere - but one thing I like to order to on the rare occasions when there's an obvious weight-watcher or vegetarian next to me at the bar is the infamous "Burgersaurus Rex" - Bacon, cheddar, grilled mushrooms, onions, and with a fried egg on top - there's no putting that slippery thing down, once you pick it up, until your heart freezes up right along with the smile on your face. The Sasparilla BBQ burger and fish 'n' chips are popular too, served with excellent vinegar-thirsty hand-cut french fries. The Red Door has one of the more authentic thick-and-chunky New England Clam chowders in the city, served with good bread. If you don't like crowds, or being bustled by lots of dudes looking for love in all the wrong places, this probably isn't your best bet to hang all Fri/Sat night. However, if you have friends in from out-of-town to catch up with mid-week, or you want to catch lunch in Fremont on the weekends just off the Burke-Gilman trail, the Red Door is great option for a beer and a bite to eat.
