Since this listing went live, The Red Lantern has become home to Meatball Magic, currently the longest-running alternative club night in Fresno. Going on two years strong, Meatball Magic takes place every first and third Friday of the month and is always cover-free. Expect to see local glitterati and movers and shakers moving and shaking it to the hottest in indie rock, new wave, 80s, electro, mashups, ironic hip hop, and pretty much anything else the DJ hosts (and you) desire. Occasional special events and live band nights round out the fun. Visit Meatball Magic on Myspace for more info.
Pros: No cover, big and cheap drinks, the best music in the central valley.
Cons: Has to shut down at 2am.
