About this business
Renditions of Cat Stevens, the Rolling Stones, Billy Joel and Beatles fill the air as you set foot into this place. Known for music and spirits, Redhead is the place to reminisce over a bottle of Chandon Brut. Liquors, cocktails and classic wines feature in the drinks menu. The cigar rack is also promising. The piano area is busy with artistes and sing-along buddies requesting their favorite number. The attire is strictly business casual.

They say coat check is mandatory - don't do it! They're thieves! My girlfriend and I went after the Keith Urban concert tonight. Coat check was mandatory. I asked my girlfriend - should I keep my concert tshirt in my coat pocket? She said "sure why not?" Guess what? I got into the cab without the t shirt. told the cab to go all the way back - only for the staff of Red Head to call me a liar. Why would I lie about something like this???? They tried to push me out and gave me a business card with a managers name to "call tomor... read more
HORRIBLE! STAY AWAY!! – Had been there a few times in the past years, but t his time I was 'turned away' by the big bouncer who told my 2 friends and I that we weren't allowed inside because we had too much to drink! We came by taxi. We live in Chicago. We're all in our mid-60s. I think it was age discrimination in its ugliest form. Go to HOWLIN' at the MOON. Much more fun, genuine and it's 'real Chicago.'
Disappointed – We went to Red Head Saturday May 30, 2010 for our anniversary with another couple. We got great seats at the bar facing the piano without having to pay off the staff. Dave Johnson, the pianist, was a pro although we left after an hour. Somebody needed to sound check him. Thepianoandhisvoicedblendedtogetherintoamishmash. I know he favors Billy Joel and Joe Cocker - but all his songs sounded the same and muddy. He didn't encourage audience interaction and the people sitting around the piano were DUUUULLLL. We le... read more
Not to Everybody's Liking, I'm sure – I know a lot of people balk at their enforcement of the dress code - and I would agree that there is a right way and a wrong way to turn people away. There aren't many places that insist on dress codes anymore, so I can appreciate that they still exist somewhere. I just think they can do a better job of turning people away without turning them off completely. "I'm sorry but we have a dress code and tennis shoes are no allowed" isn't difficult to say. That said, I enjoy this place. Cougar... read more
Walked in a stranger, come away with friends – I was there a few months ago and the bartender, Eric made me feel welcome and introduced me to other people sitting around the bar. I immediately felt at ease, met some interesting people and had a great night. I went back recently and was amazed when Eric remembered my drink. I again met some great people and had a great night. I'm a believer
My favorite bar – This is my favorite bar in Chicago. I love it - check out Tuesdays - incredible piano player every week. Martinis here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for so I like it. I also don't mind the coat check policy or dress code. I hate people who dress like hobos and go out to bars. Viva Redhead Piano Bar!
Sort of boring – My hubby and I were in Chicago to celebrate our anniversary, so we were dressed up a bit. We were welcomed right in and shown right to table. The table had said 'reserved' but that was taken off for us. What does that mean? The good service stopped there. The waitress seemed annoyed to be our waitress. My husband ordered a speciality drink that he did not like at all. He asked her to exchange it and she looked liked that was the most absurd thing she had ever heard. She did do it tho. Music was nothing to wr... read more
Terrible Customer Service – We never made it in the door. I was there for girls week in Chicago and because we had the audacity to be having a good time and laughing it was assumed we were drunk. We were not and asked to speak with the manager and he was just as rude. Since then we spoke to several people who have had similar experiences. I don't know what is going on with this establishment but I would suggest that everyone find another place to go. Chicago is an awesome city and this establishment is not worth the time.
absolutely the worst place I have ever been to – First off the atmosphere was beyond life sucking. I enjoyed pretty much nothing there. The crowd was boring, the entertainment much the same. My drinks were craptastic in both flavor and price. They make horrible mojitos. The management I spoke with however was very attending. The doorman, while a bit rude was very effective torward the street people who tried to come nearby. Then there was the coat check. Be sure you get all your tickets for every item. The lady had the nerve... read more
