The Red Pavilion

WOW! Came for the catbus collective’s anime/Ghibli jazz night and ended up staying for their later show as well. Knocked it out of the park! Great drinks, great vibes, great music. Small menu selection (definitely eat beforehand, but the bar snacks are super tasty if you’re hungry and in a pinch!) definitely would recommend!(Price per person includes about $22 ticket for a seat at a table, drink, and snack!)

Ive come here for 3 separate shows but have to say that the Catbus Collectives Studio Ghibli / Anime Night was one of my favorite performances thus far! I am consistently impressed with the performances and the performers, as well as how good the service is considering how cramped the space can be. The staff always does the best it can to make it the best night possible - I recall the very first time I went, the power was shut down throughout the whole block, but they had the emergency lights on as well as candles everywhere so still felt very magical and intimate. I do recommend reserving seats if you can, as it does make the night that much more enjoyable.The food isnt anything to write home about (which is alright, given its not meant to be a dinner spot), the drinks are great, and the ambiance was beautiful. The pianist was such a great and charismatic host, but above all I was blown by how smooth and curated the performance was.Would recommend!

The catbuscollective is an amazing band ensemble. They electrify the room with their musical interpretations of classic anime themes. I had such a lovely time and will definitely come back soon! 🌟

The place was such a vibe. Very intimate but also lively with the jazz music at the same time. I’m definitely coming back more! Great date spot

Came for the AAPI Jazz Collective’s set for Rhapsody in Red - amazing musicians, beautiful venue, and great drinks. Love how the space caters to music that is so underrepresented. Highly recommend!

Atmosphere was amazing! Drinks were great, music was decent though. Went on a Ghibli/Final Fantasy night and could barely hear the middle man/flute player for some parts of it. Felt significant to the moment. Me and my friend were really hoping to hear Utada Hikaru’s Simple and Clean and was really disappointed when it wasn’t played! Would love to come back to hear it!

I went to one of the Jazz night events, Studio Ghilbi + Anime Jazz. It was great! All around good experience. The performances were amazing, the staff was attentive, and the drinks were good . I very much enjoyed my time there and Im looking forward to going back. Id highly recommend if looking for a good jazz/ music ambiance.

The Red Pavilion is a whole mood, seriously! Its got those old-school Shanghai vibes with a dark, sexy twist. As soon as you walk in, youre hooked – awesome energy, and they have really creative drinks!The performers I saw were on another level. A woman who could bend herself into crazy shapes, a singer with a voice that gave me chills, and a seriously talented pole dancer! This spot is all about showcasing Asian American artists, and they were crushing it.Oh, and dont sleep on the drinks. I had this infused baijiu that is very fragrant.If you want a night thats totally different and super cool, Red Pavilion is your spot. You wont be disappointed.

Catchy anime tunes get a jazzy makeover by the Catbus Collective at the Red Pavilion! Led by trombonist Peter Lin, the group breathes new life into familiar themes from Naruto, Ghibli Classics like Howls Moving Castle, and Suzume. Expect playful improvisation and infectious energy thatll have you toe-tapping and humming along. What an incredible performance!

We went for the burlesque show— I was celebrating my birthday with my wonderful girlfriend. We paid for table seating, which was so nice, but I would totally do standing room next time for a cheaper night out. The host and entertainment were awesome and the environment— dazzling! They had a segment of the show where they brought 4 audience members on stage who told stories, which was funny and made such a memorable experience. After the show, they take all the chairs out and open up the space for dancing, which was great to keep the night going for a bit! It’s a great experience especially for the price.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the mesmerizing JAZZ NIGHT at The Red Pavilion, an unforgettable experience that seamlessly combined music, culture, and exquisite cocktails. The highlight of the evening was the enchanting performance by the AAPI Jazz Collective, who beautifully rendered a delightful array of love songs from across Asia. From the heartwarming tunes of China to the soul-stirring melodies of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan, the music transported us on a captivating journey through the emotions of love and longing. The talented musicians skillfully intertwined various musical traditions, creating a harmonious blend that was both soothing and invigorating.As I savored the delectable cocktails prepared by the skilled bartenders, I couldnt help but be immersed in the warm and inviting ambiance of The Red Pavilion. The carefully curated atmosphere added an extra layer of enchantment to the evening, making it the perfect destination for a weekend rendezvous with friends or a romantic musical escape. The drinks were an absolute delight – each sip was a burst of flavors that complemented the musical journey perfectly. Whether youre a cocktail enthusiast or simply looking to unwind with something refreshing, The Red Pavilions drink menu is a treat for your taste buds.

This place is amazing! Attended a Friday night Shanghai Jazz event and the atmospheric and vibe were perfect.Prices for tickets were very reasonable, and Im comfortable saying I think any one of their events would probably be worth every penny based on the experience we had.The space is immaculately clean, so well decorated, cozy and moody all in one. It feels like youre VIP in this place because I feel like all staff is focused on patrons having a good experience. They didnt overpack the space and it felt so intimate, which is something I really loved.I appreciated that there were mocktails available on the drink menu and they were very good.I feel like Im missing so much here but I would implore everyone to go have an experience at Red Pavilion. I hope to visit again and that it will be a part of the community for a long time to come.

A wonderful place with delicious Chinese food, good prices, rare teas,beautiful chinaware and simple but cute design. We had Sunday brunch on a hot summer day, so AC was blasting and a bit too cold (take a cover).The place was 80% full, so it didnt feel crowded. The service was very attentive, we ordered several dishes (my favorite was mushrooms salad, tofu and fried sesame balls) and a pot of Winter Plum tea (my connoisseur friend said it is a rare find) and they gladly refilled it with hot water several times for us.It is a definitely a place to discover if you are into Asian culture.

Came here for the Studio Ghibli + Anime Jazz night and had lovely experience ! I’m a fan of composer Joe Hisaishi so to hear his work played in NYC was a treat ! All the performances were exquisite; loved every second. The interior design was very classy and chic & service was great. I would recommend to jazz fans.

Came on Thursday night for Studio Gibli/Anime Night.Service was so friendly and very attentive. The venue is gorgeous but quiet small, and the tables are a bit cramed, but it was cozy and comfortable. The performance was super enjoyable, too!Would love to come back to experience the other shows they offer.

I visited The Red Pavilion for their Media/Grand Opening night. The space is cool, love the colors of the lights, i really like that the DJ is elevated and you can see her. The music was really really good, a mix of chill, electronic, performances were also nice to watch. Chinese Teahouse and Apothecary by day, Performance and Event Venue after dark🏮

Went there on Sunday for the dim sum drag show. What a hoot! The drag show was entirely entertaining and I would 100% come back for it. The dim sum itself was okay. This is a healthy version of dim sum, so I kept needing to remind myself when the carts were coming around and didn’t contain the dishes that I know and love. These were definitely lower in sodium and msg, but because of that, they also lacked some flavor. I think they could have also given us some bowls and spoons, since there were numerous dishes (like the tofu, wonton soup, and the snow fungus dishes) that were liquidy—how were we supposed to share that when we each had chopsticks and plates? While my taste buds were disappointed, I did leave the restaurant not feeling stuffed or bloated which is my usual dim sum experience. So that was a plus!

Had the most fun at the incense workshop with Hyungi Park! the space was so beautiful, the workshop was fun and enjoyable to follow along with, and the people were great. even made some new friends and had great belly laughs along the way. oh! and the food and drinks were simplyYUMMMM. highly recommend everything!

The idea of Jazz plus classical anime music is marvelous! Very cute and cozy, nice service. I love it

Saw Catbus Collective with my sister and had a great time. They did an anime jazz night and it was awesome. The waitress was amazing and the drinks were so delicious. We have to go back again

We went for Jazz night and found the whole place sexy and charming! The red glow and fog machine set up a moody atmosphere which made for the soft crooning voice of the talent so much more fun!The drinks are also delicious and boozy! This is a great place for an intimate date night!

If you want to find the best Traditional Chinese Medicine food and beverage place in Bushwick, look no further! The Tea Parlor at the Red Pavilion has unique and healing offerings. To start, I tried the Chai Latte, which was flavorful and not too sweet, with notes of spices such as turmeric, cinnamon, and ginger. Then, I tried the steamed buns of the day, filled with salted egg yolk which was one of my favorite items, it was served warm and had this sweet yellow paste (egg yolk) inside that made my mouth melt. I also tried the winter multigrain congee set (MY FAVORITE) and wow, it was mouth-watering, smooth, warm, and savory. This congee set was big enough to share with someone else and included toppings such as pickled lotus root, carrots, chicken breast, and some spicy sauce. I finished with the black wood ear salad which was refreshing, cooling, and delicious. I highly recommend this place! Last note, you will leave feeling satisfied and happy, without any GI discomfort!

Spellbinding performances at cabaret night. moody ambience. creative cocktails. all in a vibey queer AAPI space. would love to come back for jazz/drag/dim sum and all their other offerings!

I saw Wicked City Burlesque. Was $40 cover (inc seat) + $40 mandatory drinks for one person. Doors didnt open til 11, show started at 11:20 and was over by 12:40, inc a 20m intermission. One performer went once. One went twice. The MC did a sword swallowing routine, and then the show was over. Felt overpriced for ~1h of old timey music with a few acts sprinkled in.Despite advertising it on their website, there was no coat check. Erica, the delightful cocktail waitress, was super sweet and collected everyones coats anyway.I admittedly arrived grumpy having had to wait so long to get in. The show was fun, the decor was pretty, the cocktails were tasty, and Ive already sung Ericas praises. Still I dont quite feel like I got what I paid for. Ive been to house parties that had longer burlesque sets.

I am in love with The Red Pavilion! You wont find another place like it in New York. The lighting is amazing and I love the colors of the bar. I had the sesame drink when I visited as well as some DELICIOUS dumplings and deviled eggs. I wish I took a picture of my food, but I couldnt resist eating it. Chef Zoe was a pleasure to meet. The stage is perfect for entertainment and theres a separate DJ booth to keep the party going. And theres a coat check!! Im excited to go back.

Great vibes and great music! I attended their Studio Ghibli jazz night - the arrangements were creative and the pole/aerial performances were impressive! Would definitely come again to check out their other performances.

This place is one of a kind! The staff is superb and the owners are very attentive and the arts programming is robust! The Red Dragon is my favorite drink on their menu —definitely get a reservation and enjoy the offerings of this special place!

The Red Pavilion is so special! A beautiful Asian inspired environment with amazing staff. Whether you want to be entertained or want to entertain yourself, this place never misses. See a show… dance with friends… do both. You won’t regret spending your night here.

I ordered the spleen strengthening latte and the salted egg yolk buns and they were delicious! The atmosphere at the red pavilion is unmatched. It has a very relaxed, calming, and ambient vibe and the service was also great. It was an overall amazing experience. Will be back!

We had the best time at the Red Pavilion for our friend’s bachelorette party! The show was incredible and every single act unique was mesmerizing. We called ahead and let them know we were celebrating and they called our bachelorette onto the stage for a dance off. 10/10 experience for what we were looking for. Really special and welcoming space for a group of queer women

I always have a great time at the Red Pavilion’s Forbidden Dream shows, and leave inspired and impressed by the acts. It’s great to see an Asian venue prioritizing platforming Asian artists. Bartenders are friendly, drinks are creative, love the use of flavors like tamarind and Szechuan peppercorn. Also the beer nuts are underrated - best nut mix I’ve ever had.

Brought my best friend Silvia here for the Ghibli/Anime jazz night as a surprise (for both of us since it was our first times) and we had so much fun! Everyone is so talented and friendly, and the audience was so supportive. Definitely going to come back!

Such an amazing place! Full of beautiful people from all walks of life. The live jazz was great. Then the female dj who came on after—-she was on point, playing original tunes. Drinks were delicious, especially the falling flowers (made of hibiscus and lavender). The staff was so welcoming and warming. Truly, truly wonderful place with a classy vibe. I love their focus of bringing asian culture and artistry to light—very proud of the bushwick community. Can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us in the future.

I came here for a Studio Ghibli and anime music night on a Thursday. The service is very attentive and friendly. The music was great and I highly recommend paying a little extra to book a table so you can sit during the performance. The decor is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back again!

We were able to attend for a Jazz night event at 6:30 ish on a Saturday. The ambiance and entertainment is really top notch! But the food/drinks are definitely skimping on quantity and quality for their price. Attendees also seemed mostly fine but some really had weird attitudes.Mandatory coat check for guests that we must pay for is really odd. That should be a cost absorbed by the venue considering the tickets are so expensive and the lack of heads up before hand. Especially since there is a two drink minimum they tell you a bunch of times in person and while booking the ticket. With all of this in mind and the poor standing area room how far will they push for skimping on quality and continue asking for more money.

Went for fever motel on a Thursday night, had a great experience listening to the first Asian-led jazz band Ive seen. Tomoya Ogawa is an insanely talented guitarist and has such exuberant stage presence!!note the 2 drink per table minimum - the cocktails were great albeit expensive (although same as nyc prices youd get anywhere else I guess)

Overall enjoyed my experience. I went to the Studio Ghibli Anime and Jazz night and I loved the music. The drink were good. I was a little hungry and was looking for more finger foods to pick on. But overall enjoyed my time here with my friends

Drinks are good! Vibe and ambience is amazing

We were so pumped for Jazz + Burlesque night and what we got was some middle-ground jazz playing and no burlesque (having a girl in lingerie lie on an oversized glass and a singer take her coat and stockings off is *not* burlesque!). Considering the event was titled + Burlesque, this was false advertising, The price would have been good if it had been what the ticket title advertised.. but it was too much for 90min of tight space seating and a handful of Jazz songs performed by ok musicians. Drinks were very tasty but the table servers were super aggressively checking for more orders and cleaning the table - disturbing us during the performance. You’re better off going to a real jazz club or make sure to carefully read all the fine print of the event tickets, not rely on the event title!

Red Pavilion is a beautiful neo-noir inspired venue owned by queer Asian femme’s - a joy to see in Bushwick! Their vision is clear with events that are consistently exciting and evolving. Roll through if you’re looking for a decadent night out on the town with TCM inspired cocktails or a delightful daytime dim sum adventure ✨

This business has been accused of removing reviews from google so I’m not sure if this review will live but I feel totally scammed for how much I paid vs the quality of the venue and production value of the show. The place looks nothing like the beautiful photos shown online and the show is nothing like what’s advertised. It is a low budget venue that has poorly thought out seating, horrible lighting and overpriced food and drinks. Plus the people that work there are more focused on getting people to spend money on drinks and coat check than providing an experience worth coming back for. I would not recommend this place to friends.

My husband and I bought a table last Thursday for the Ghibli & Anime Jazz night and had such a blast! The drinks were delicious (my favorite was the Moon), we had a couple of snacks which were very small, but we expected that knowing it’s not a dining establishment, and the vegan jerky was aaamazing! The Catbus Collective was so fun and put on such a great show. I will definitely be following them and hope to come back to catch another show!

I just love this place, its gorgeous. I love the mood and aesthetics, so much care seems to have gone into the planning. I had never had a mocktail before but as someone that doesnt drink alcohol I just loved it. It was seriously one of the most delicious things that I have ever had. The entertainment was fun, over all we had a great time and look forward to going back.

I stopped by with a few friends on a rainy day for some tea and light food during their tea parlor hours. The interior was a super vibrant traditional Chinese style tea parlor. We got the Rain Butter Mature Puer Chinese premium tea, the herbal bone broth, and Winter Multigrain Congee set. The Rain Butter Puer tea was sweet and earthy and was perfect for a rainy day. The congee set was my favorite. It was super flavorful and fragrant with the sesame oil and mushrooms. It also came with toppings for us to top our congee with. The plates and teacups were also really pretty and great for photos! Overall, was a nice calming atmosphere. They also have dim sum on the weekends so I definitely plan to come back to experience it!

We went here for lunch when it was a lot quieter. The staff was really friendly and the food was fantastic. The place looks and feels lovely too.

This place is new new! I went here for my friends bday. We had a table in front on the stage. Pretty cool experience if you love jazz. Decent drinks. After 11 the music switched to techno. Nice atmosphere if you wanna chill.

I came for the Ghibli + Anime night which was AMAZING! But also the entire atmopshere was amazing, I defintely see myself coming back casually, its a space I loved to be in and the drinks were so good!

Truly a gem in Brooklyn! Went for the jazz anime night and was blown away. Drinks are unique and the curry puff was amazing. High recommend going!!!

By far, the most unique teahouse and dim sum spot in Bushwick! Food is savory and delicious prepared with Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs and ingredients! Best place to meet friends to grab shareable food, have tea, and then go shopping around the neighborhood!

Went for taboo & burlesque night. There is no burlesque at all. The sound system is horrible so I could barely hear the music between that and the people standing directly behind my table, talking the entire time. The drinks are overly sweet. Weird vibes from service.Overall- this place is run poorly, is over priced, needs to invest in better sound design and falsely advertises what you’re paying for. Save your money and avoid!

Dropped by Friday night with some friends, amazing jazz band, atmosphere is elegant. One of those places that transports you to another time/vibe. Glad to have this spot in Bushwick.

Studio Ghibli and Final Fantasy night was so cute! Definitely coming back 🤗

Seems like theyre still trying to figure things out. Food is good but not too much variety for dim sum. They also literally did not have enough for all the tables even though there arent a lot. Service was fun but not the best

I went to Studio Ghibli and anime Jazz night and it was so much fun! The bartender, Hex was really sweet and super friendly. catbuscollective was a vibe and I loved how the performance included aerial artists. 10/10 Would recommend!

I absolutely love this venue, every single detail is attended to, from color scheme to scentscape to the unbelievable staff service. I love going to shows here and enjoying the Cocktails that I cannot get anywhere else. This place is the magical lovechild of some brilliant minds, I highly recommend 🧚‍♂️.

Recently visited The Red Pavilion and viewed two of their shows: Lust Caution & The Forbidden Dream.Ambiance/Environment:- Lively and Energetic. From the performers to the crowd, everyone had a wonderful time. The music was engaging and the aesthetics reminded me of a neo-noir textures with bright contrasting colors.Performances:- Nothing short of amazing, I had a fun time watching all the performers. The acts were amazing, so difficult to choose which ones were the best. The aerial performances with the Hoops was top notch and kept me at full attention.Drinks:- They have a wide variety of different drinks/cocktails from a whiskey, vodka, tequila bases and so on. The drinks were consistently smooth and not overpowering to the palate. They even have mocktails for those that dont partake in alcohol based cocktails (tried one of them and it was pretty good)

Came for taboo jazz + burlesque—- there was no burlesque. 1 aerial performance and one other dance. It was a middle of the road jazz night with good atmosphere, expensive cocktails, and staff that cleaned up while your water and table candles while the performers were still on. 2 drink minimum.

Such a beautiful space and love the vibes at Red Pavilion! Been looking for a place in the neighborhood that has healthy non caffeinated beverage options. I love that they incorporate traditional Chinese medicine into their drinks and food. I got the warming chai and asked them to put osmanthus syrup to sweeten it and added the immunity support tincture. It wasn’t too spicy or too sweet which I enjoyed. I also got the congee which was super yummy and came with a cute bento box of toppings

Response to Business:In full transparency that statement is not the complete truth.As you have stated, the food portion was billed separately, which was comped when your team reached out to the host (seeing as only 10 of 15 ordered dishes made it out of the kitchen) ONLY in response to our initial review but the drinks portion was in fact charged in full, pending the conditional that we would kindly remove the one star review.Out of principle that review was not removed by us, but the business reported and removed said review as a means of preservation of a high star rating.As a courtesy we still tipped the staff as that was and is the decent thing to do; their time, sweat, and tears were still put in to try and rescue an operation that was extremely unorganized.Rather than attempting to skew reality to project a caring and endearing management team, take this review with your chin up and improve the business practices of your establishment.Original Post:I hope this review does not get taken down as I am looking out for the community and not the establishments upside.For context, here is the original hidden/deleted review as well as subsequent hidden/deleted comments:I’m all for supporting Asian American Businesses and what they are trying to promote, but unethical practices still need to be pointed out;In the Fall of 2023, a group of 20+ individuals entertained the idea of upscale Dimsum, after a horrendous experience, we just wanted the public to know about our personal experience, to be able to make that educated decision for themselves.Instead, this business decided to hide/delete said reviews from multiple different individuals,We only hoped to leave this experience in the past,However upon resurfacing on social media and an influencers post to promote the business (actual friends with management), we again only tried to educate a misled public.For said influencer to then disable comments on the promotional post, only exacerbating the issue we tried to inform people about.A bad review may be detrimental towards the business’ wallet, but falsified reviews are detrimental to the customers experience.

Very special atmosphere with cool lighting/interior design! We went to see a open mic event and it was very lovely. Will come back again!

We had such a magical evening here. The jazz band and singers were not only very talented, but brought a really unique and educational experience to the event. We arrived around 7:30 and sat at a table, which we enjoyed. There’s probably not a bad seat in the house, but it does get crowded!We had attentive service all throughout the show. And not enough good things can be said about the musicians!We did not try any food, but we were tempted. Drinks arrived very quickly and the time really flew by. Really great bang for your buck if you can snag tickets in the early part of the show. Plenty of small breaks and a diverse selection of music to enjoy. We plan to come back and you can tell the staff are really gracious and happy to be there themselves.

Enjoyed their Thursdays night anime jazz show- the musicians were talented and the singer was excellent.Wasn’t too impressed with the drinks and service was standard.

Went to a show yesterday 6/28 that was supposed to start at 11pm it didn’t start until 12:30 and when it did they did a lil 10-15 min show and went on a 15 min intermission after making us wait that long (what a joke) I would rate it a 1 it was very mid I was so excited to finally visit this venue and that excitement went away after that performance I don’t think I’d ever come back wasted my money

It was an amazing surreal experience! I went to the anime jazz performance it was so much fun

Such a grand, grand time. Saw the Ghibli show and the performance was terrific. Service and drinks delightful too.

Great performances, great service, really thoughtful event space with an incredible range of shows. Highly recommend!

I had such a great time at the Red Pavilion! Honestly this place was a lifesaver when we didn’t want to stand in line. Walked in and it was such a fun EDM vibe. Great cocktails with an Asian twist, too!

Came for the ghibli-anime jazz night and had a great time! amazing musical performance, tasty drinks, and wonderful ambiance!!

Came for studio Ghibli night to see the Kappas Collective in Thursdays the drinks and food were good and the music was super enjoyable.

Retro 1920s Shanghai vibe, the one and only in New York City, irreplaceable

Very cool Friday nights! Try the goji berry baijiu shot. A little bit of room to dance on the sides. Great performers and nice service. This place is going to get bigger and bigger.

It’s a great venue! Went to see my friend perform at The Forbidden Dream event. Super classy and has great vibes

Amazing place for aapi community events and cool people who come here to chill and listen or watch live events. Great programs, jazz, burlesque, dancing

True to reviews, the event space is a bit tight. However, it’s still a cool vibe worth checking out! Went for neo-noir cabaret, which had wonderful performers.The only food sold during the show was nuts, but it was solid! Though limited variety, drinks are also tasty.

This was phenomenal! I went to the Studio Ghibli event and it was well worth it. Try the espresso martinis.

Love The Red Pavilion! Always great vibes and great music. Their bartender Karunya is definitely the standout though. She is so full of energy and genuine joy that even in the late night hours it makes you forget what time it is! My go to spot for the end of a Friday evening.

I went there on a Friday night. It was about $15 to get in at 2 AM which is pretty cheap. They only took cash or cash app or PayPal drinks were about $15 and then they added tax and gratuity on top automatically. DJ was OK atmosphere was mid 20s. I would go here again because of the price point and the late night access

Amazing experience, I can’t wait to come back again!

Incredible experience. Every time the talent is exceptional and we have a great time. Will always keep coming back for more.

Great tea house and night life club. They’re doing it all in one place! Tea house food was amazing and night life drinks were unique and enjoyable.

Would have loved to support a fellow BIPOC Asian owned establishment. However, the owners are more concerned with aesthetic frivolities rather than promoting a safe environment. They neglect their obligation and due diligence as owners by deferring responsibility to the manager so are completely unaware/oblivious of how it actually operates. Turning a blind eye to some truly problematic behavior -- which I tried to address but was dismissed. Truly such a shame.Also the prices are downright extortionate -- $17 for a shot? $9 for a handful of peanuts that come in bulk and served in a paper cup? The profit margin is insane, even by NY standards.Better places nearby: Sultan Room, Mirage, House of Yes, Jupiter Disco (right next door)

I was there yesterday for dim sum and lattes. The multi grain was so yummy. The food was amazing too and not over Americanized. There was a perfect mix of vegetable’s pickles, protein , grains and sweets. Definitely going back!

Overall disappointed. Water for guests was left in pitchers on the counter and immediately after my partner poured herself some had to throw it away because of uncomfortable stares from male guests.

I waited on line for opening night. They had staff coming and checking on waiting patrons as well as bringing hot drinks which was a nice touch (it was very cold). Unfortunately, the place was packed and I couldn’t stay until it was my turn to get in. HOWEVER, I emailed them about what happened and immediately got a response and was taken care of. Excellent costumer service. I’m really excited to go again and experience the Red Pavilion from the other side of the waiting line.

From a performer’s perspective, I can tell you that the experience has been incredible working with the venue and the staff. It’s amazing to not only see some incredible talents, but to also see proper representation within our community.

Awesome ambiance, cool selection of drinks, and super cool performances. A great, vibey place to hang out!

Went for Ghibli jazz night and had an incredible time, will absolutely be back :)

On a Friday night -- get there early or do not bother. The band was good, but the vibe felt like the idea of a jazz club more than a jazz club itself.Frustrating to pre-book tickets and then see that more than half the people who got tickets had to stand, without a good area TO stand.

I was very disappointed by the Afrobeats party last night. I brought 2 friends who were visiting home after moving away. We got there soon after the event page said it would open and were told that they were not open yet. We came back an hour later and were let in.. just to have to wait another 25 minutes, dehydrated, with no explanation until my friend asked and was told they didnt have a door person for the party. What??Finally inside, we got cocktails, which we were excited to try. The sesame colada was gross and overpriced. There was a bunch of sesame paste at the bottom of the drinks. The DJ was awful. Almost none of the music was actually afrobeats. There were pauses, silences, repeats, and bad overlays. The only free places to sit were one couch and the dirty stairs to the stage. We wanted to get some air bc it was getting got inside and were told that wed have to get on the back of the line if we stepped outside. We left after a little over an hour. Really lame.It seems like this place is not suited to be a nightclub and they are trying to capitalize on the space without putting in the effort for a quality night. Really was not worth the money or the online hype. Maybe its just better as a restaurant and tea house, but we wont be coming back to find out.

I had a great time at The Red Pavilion over the weekend. My friend and I had tea and a few desserts which we loved. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, especially with helping me figure out their vegan options.

This place feels like it’s struggling or something. A few months back, we tried to come by after they had posted on IG for a jazz evening (free before a certain time) and got turned away as “they don’t do this anymore” but we were also unwilling to pay $10 pp for the remaining 20-30 mins of jazz of the evening and the 2 drink min. Understood that it was a new establishment but disappointing as you should want to win your customers over.We wanted to give this place another chance so tried out Sunday brunch. Food was okay. Menu was small. Portions are small. Flavors were good. Tea was lovely. But ultimately, we walked out not feeling super satisfied. Servers don’t seem to be well trained like what’s the best way to order food or taking away used plates/dim sum trays. And it def was expensive for what it was … the ambience (maybe not super great for daytime) to the service to the food to the prices and the final check. The entire experience just didn’t feel warm and inviting.I also don’t understand the $20 deposit pp for resys…seems unreasonable since this isn’t fine dining or a white table cloth restaurant. And it really just sours the experience. Most of the tables were empty. I would def understand if deposits were needed for a large party or charging a fee for no-shows but that wasnt the case.One of the two bathrooms was also sort of not available (lock issues).Perhaps Red Pavilion could use some tweaks and refocus. Amping up their portions, lowering their prices a smidge, adding more substantial dishes, etc and then they can really drive some volume at least when it comes to food service.

Wow wow wow. This place is a time trap and sends you back to the jazz age. I love that is AAPI jazz representation. Drinks are so good and the music is otherworldly. Truly a hidden gem.

Was such a good time! i really enjoyed the show and cant wait to come back!!

My friends and I came here for their first dim sum Sunday experience! We really enjoyed the various dim sum baskets that were pushed around in the traditional dim sum carts. Everything had unique flavor profiles and my favorite was the mushroom congee and the lotus bun! We can’t wait to come back again soon when they make this a regular thing on the weekends!

My partner and I arrived a bit early and we went to ask if they would allow seating, the lady at the desk along with the man (Long hair) basically chased us out. Very unprofessional and not welcoming at all. We decided not to go.

Very average is the summary, a bit of a money grab, Ill give them the benefit of the doubt that they are still working things out (its only been 1-2 months). We ended up leaving early and checking out some of the other spots in the area.Pros: Nice lighting, cocktails were tasty, the jazz music was decent (6/10, could have had more variety), I do quite like their location in Bushwick.Cons:- Jazz Night food menu was weak (they only had chips and nuts, each at $9 a serving)- Only 2 bathrooms (painful when 1 is out of commish).- They force a 2-drink minimum at tables (not a 2 item minimum like most other venues in the city). Not a problem except by the second round, they ran out of half the drinks (incl. the cheaper 8$ beers), pushing tables to hit their minimum with these $8$ CBD shots or $13 house shots as alternative (or I guess if you wanted to get jacked up on their $8 Red Bull).- One of the owners is also a tea/traditional medicine influencer which made this venue feel more like a store front to push her tea (as she was walking around from table to table towards the end of Jazz pushing tables to have her tea / the deceiving piece of her push was she purposefully left it ambiguous on whether the tea was on the house or it came with an additional cost / even when we said no thank you, her tone was off / you could feel she didnt like hearing no).All to say, hopefully you take this feedback well. Well be back to check out the venue in a year once youve had some time to figure it out.

Had such a fun night, the music and sound was amazing and the entertainment was top notch. Stoked to support such an amazing new spot to go out in NY and especially that it is AAPI women-owned. Will need to come during the day to try dim sum!

Gorgeous venue, beautiful show, lovely drinks! The atmosphere was top notch, one of my favorite gems in Brooklyn.

The red pavilion is an absolutely stunning venue. I was there for opening night after stalking their instagram page and it was amazing. Delicious drinks, AMAZING ARTISTS, and immaculate vibes. Excited to see the new events they will host and happy to have found a little piece of asia in bushwick.

If youre coming here expecting an authentic dim sum experience this aint it, go elsewhere. Im baffled by the menu, half the items arent even Cantonese staple items, but hey they have kimchi dumplings. Also since when isnt tea complimentary? Do better.

The servers barely visited our table, and most of the foods were very dry, and the drinks were supposed to be paid for separately. The foods were quite bad, I feel the only good thing so far was the egg yolk bun, which was very dry on the inside. I don’t think I will come here again.

What a beautiful venue with great food, drinks, and entertainment! We expected no less from the owners — two ladies with impeccable taste and unparalleled experience in event planning and culinary arts. This space shines with its unique decor and meaningful intention to promote creativity, connection, and cultural representation of AAPI and BIPOC groups. I can’t wait to bring friends back with me!

Just alright. Stopped by on a hip hop night and had a very rude male bartender (short, black hair, black vest) who didnt service us or even talk to us. Wound up going to the bartender in the middle - the ONLY bartender (girl w long black hair) who was dancing and having a good time - to serve us some drinks. But then peeped that he got upset by that...not my fault if you dont pass the vibe check. Overall, the drinks arent all that, esp for the price...$12 for house shots? And if youre not going to match the vibe then dont work at a night club. Sorry, not sorry.There are MANY places to grab drinks in Bushwick, so if im going to get an attitude or be ignored...then why bother? The boo thangs in the middle were cute, but Id rather go to Tipsy Dog where you dont have to deal w stank attitude.

As an Asian women and someone who one was excited to go to this venue because of the Femme Fatale theme and knowing that this is an AAPI women owned venue I was super excited. However, the venue only had two bathroom stalls and took 2 hours to be able to go to the restroom. After, the DJ who was definitely a pretty straight looking man (who had played the 1.5hrs Id been there) just played generic hiphop/pop sets. I guess I had been expecting more AAPI women DJs and much better accommodations for uterus having persons.

My best friend took me here as a surprise and this was the probably my most favorite memory with her

Such a great atmosphere, amazing entertainers, lovely people & a lovely space!!!

A designer space capable of a slew of cool activations. The first thing this place does is make you wonder where it came from. The Red Pavilion is a culturally necessary step in providing representation for the AAPI community, and it does this with style. The space supports dual performance stages that can be used for live acts, DJ’s, fine dining, and more. If China Chalet left a ghost behind, it would go here.

Ended up spending the day at red pavillion for their teahouse cafe hours. wifi, gentle music and vibes, great for work and catching up with friends!ordered the spleen strengthening multigrain latte and the wild ya bao tea. latte was very tasty and filling, the tea was earthy and calming :)

Really really cool vibes here. Drinks are pricey but that’s to be expected

It was so cool! I had a great time!

Went to 2 shows and they are both very mid/amateur

One of the most unique event place in BK with chef and TCM nutritionist Zoey Gong’s well curated wellness tonic infused with traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. The warmth and the hospitality of this space is truly worth visiting.

Went to one of the Friday jazz nights! Lovely set up. Delicious drinks. Friendly owners. Highly recommend!

Really awesome show - lust 8:30pm Sat

Great ambiance, delicious cocktails, and fantastic music! Its very clear the owners put a lot of care into the space- will definitely be returning

One of the best Chinese breakfasts I’ve ever had! Bone broth soup with chicken, delicious sweet buns, and tea with nostalgic music - PERFECTION

Went to the Forbidden Dream for the acrobatics and left a very happy camper!

It’s always something different whenever I visit this club with their performances and DJs! I never know what to expect! Love the vibe!

Amazing show great ambiance:)

Amazing atmosphere! Really love this palce and will be back!

Amazing vibe, cocktails (including virgin ones), live music (including jazz Fridays, but Im biased), DJs, Dim Sum Sundays, tea, a variety of performances and events…happy this place exists!

Amazing show and atmosphere! Highly recommended

Red. Vibey. Great chords.

Amazing spot loved the grand opening and cant wait to go back. The red curtains plus jazz band were great as well as the staff!

Very special place, like walking into a time machine into the ‘20s China. Lighting, music, and drinks all blend together to create a great experience.

I’m only reviewing for Zoey. Went to tcm tour and she was really knowledgeable. Helped me connect with my parents as a abc

Sexiest show I have ever seen! From the opening act to the close. Hot crowd too.

Best service and amazing atmosphere!! Will definitely come again!!

Awesome ambiance. Catbus Collective rocks

Really cool spot. Drinks are amazing, awesome atmosphere and performers. It’s worth the trip!!!

They have different pricing for certain races. Apparently racism is the new thing in New York. They think bipoc people can’t pay the same price?

Great service and great show!! I will come back again!!

So great! What a vibe! Will def be back.

All around great experience, great music, great drinks

Absolutely stunning venue with great drinks and entertainment throughout the night! I can’t wait to be back.
