Best Bar/Club in Burlington for dancing (if you dont mind minor hearing loss so earplugs recommended). They play all the pop/EDM music I like and always put on a great show. Theres also live music earlier in the day which attracts an older crowd. A unique Red Square feature is they have 3 bars and 2 rooms of music going on at the same time so you can bounce between them if 1 is too crowded (which it does after midnight) or even head to the alley to chill. Blue Room 4 life!Staff do a good job monitoring for disorderly conduct and keeping out underage kids.

Saw a band on Saturday that was absolutely incredible. I was drawn in by the music on the outside stage and had the absolute best time. The bartenders and other staff were super friendly as well

One of the only places you can enjoy whiskey and smoke a cigar in the courtyard / alley in the area. Popular place for college crowd and can get loud but it’s fun.

The Blue Room basically is almost empty before 12 but once 12 starts, its one of the best places you can go for EDM and dancing in Burlington. Had a great time...

Cool and fun atmosphere! The hubs and I were a bit hungover and really just needed something refreshing. I got pineapple juice and he got a lemonade. $3.25 total with FREE refills!!! We were floored! And the jazz band that was playing was so much fun! Loved it!

Where do I even start. The vibes are good but the crime is not. I havent been back since the end of last year because I had my bank details stolen in the middle of the worst hangover of my life. I have gone drinking after that and drank more and have never been that bad. Im tempted to say I was roofied but Im not sure. The dance vibes are there but super crowded nights need a makeover before I ever go back. Im just a girl that never left the dance floor until the DJ packed up. I want to go to a Latin dance night that I know they have but I dont want to if its just gonna be like that again. Not a food place from what I recall. Lots of live music nights too which is wonderful!

Fun local bar, with live music in the evenings. Fridays and Saturdays recommended. Great DJ with all millennial classics from all genres for people into the 90s and early 2000s music, theres also a second floor with EDM music (it gets very hot) but loads of fun.

Not really my vibe. If youre from Montreal and used to go clubbing in oldport, this place is not for you. It feels like youre hanging out at Hochelaga. We were told thats the BEST place to party at. Nothing fancy. Radio music (taylor swift, Rihanna, etc.) The music got better later at night. They also have a backyard with a different dj (commercial house music) it was average. The crowd was fun to watch. Dont bother dressing up or wearing heels ud look wierd. The drinks were ok. We had fun. They charge a 5$ fee to enter.

El
Review №27

Over-hyped and over-priced. If youre coming here to dance, set your expectations low. The music can be VERY hit or miss here, and it can/will get so busy at times, there isnt any space to dance anyway. Drinks are often pricier and lower quality than similar places in the area (though I dont belive it to be the bartenders, they have always been great). Ive also heard complaints about management from both staff and patrons. All-in-all, Red Square isnt a terrible bar, however, I think there are now much better options in town for dancing or just getting a drink.

I came here with a group of friends for new years eve. We didnt realize how big this place was until we got inside and moved around a bit! There were different sections which was cool. there was a club section playing rave music, there was the bar section which had a small dance area playing normal club style music, there was a seating area, and a few different bathroom areas which was good because the place was pretty packed. There was also an outdoor covered seating area which was nice to go and cool down after all that dancing. We received good service considering it was new years eve.

Review №31

Giving this place two stars just to try to be fair seeing as I haven’t actually been here. Been near and by it many many many times. But never actually been inside. I knew someone who was a bouncer for many years. The reason I’m even posting a review at all is because I actually did want to give this place a try and a chance even though I was told by my own family members they don’t like the place that they overcharge majorly. Still thought about going and making my own mind up about the place til I read reviews saying the same thing I was hearing from everywhere else.what was the final straw was hearing about tips being added to peoples bills…big tips… without even being told. I also have a family member who told me him and his friends went there ordered three drinks and got a bill of 78 dollars 😮😮😮😮 and that’s on top of a large cover charge to even get in!!!! I know people who love this place but for me I think I will pass.

Mid evening is a great spot for the crowd looking for a decent meal and live band. Late evening is for the younger crowd looking to dance and get drinks. Be aware that there is a $5 cover charge for if you are looking to be that late evening group. I have always had fun here at least worth a try just watch out for the steps. :)

I always hear great music playing from here.I walked in to join the group and found the staff to be very rude and passive aggressive.For example I ordered a drink and the waitress complained when someone in the group offered to pay for my drink stating that I should have told her because its difficult.Later I asked on if they were at all familiar with the parking rules on the same street and instead of I dont know, sorry I got a well I dont work for the parking company so I dont know.

Review №35

Have to be honest, did not have any food here, and only had a few drinks which were solid. Big attraction here was the live music, DJ and dancing. Had a great time with some great energy both inside and outside on a nice Friday night. Definitely worth coming for that energy.

Review №36

It was and wonderful place to go to the Red Square bar club was playing all kinds of music that you can dance to open to their to their dance club was big enough for you to spread out so you can dance anywhere that you want to dance and they had all kinds of different alcohol drinks that you can choose from and the DJ he did an awesome job playing certain kind of music that you can dance to and I had a great time hanging out with my sister and my niece at the Red Square Club. And the people there are nice and friendly and would help you with whatever you need and whatever drinks you choose from they will be right there to make it for you. This is a nice place that you can take your family and friends and you want to go out and have fun at the club just hanging out and drinking and dancing with each other and the place was big enough for you to move around and you on your dance moves that you wanted to do. I really enjoyed myself there in the hospitality of that place was wonderful service to us

Review №39

Look we all just want to have a great time and not think. This is a great place for that.If you arent vibing check out the other room! This place is great for everyone. Sipping and lounging, fast paced electric dance type(HOPE AND PRAY THE DJ CAN BLEND THE SONGS*), or upbeat dance music.*Sometimes the DJ doesnt understand vibe and will pause the music between songs or theyll go from 130BPM to 100BPM with no blend. Its harsh to flow to, while drunk or even just vibing. Other than that,This place is the best😁

Always a good place to relax and enjoy music. The service is great and you can always feel safe. The staff is very friendly. There is space to dance and places to sit. The outside sitting area is a nice big area where you can still enjoy drinks and music. This is definitely the place you want to be.

Havent been here recently but I think not much has changed. I dont agree with all the negative reviews. This may be the only main stream club in Vermont and not a horrible one at that. This place is best enjoyed by those who stay fit, dress mainstream and dont believe in monogamy. If thats you, youll like it here and youll know how to deal with the arrogance associated with mainstream clubs. Their outdoor live bands can be enjoyed by all!

I was just here with my boyfriend on a Saturday night. We paid the 5$ each cover and sat inside but eventually switched to outside, which our server was fine with. We ordered 1 PBR and 1 citizen cider and our bill came out to $14.50? There wasn’t a price break down on the receipt and our waitress way to busy to ask because it took 30 min for us to get our check after we asked for it. My boyfriend was also charged on his card for a tip that we did not offer. We’re contacting our bank saying the charge was fraudulent. Still find it hard to believe a cider is $9.50. Sure hope this isn’t normal practice to add whatever tip is convenient to customers cards. Smells like a lawsuit. Do not recommend going here.

I went to school in the VT area and my friends and I always went to Red Square for a good time on the weekends. The drinks are reasonably priced and the music is always great. We had fun on the dance floor and its definitely the best bar in all of Church St. If youre in the Burlington area, this is the place to go to.

A place to dance! In Vermont! Its clean, theres music, it feels like a club not a cave, I have to give it 5. Liquor is overpriced but no cover charge so I cant complain. Often over crowded Thursday/Friday, but again theres no cover so thats not a problem. Best in Burlington for dancing, but there are better places for everything else.

Review №54

Im giving this 3 stars as bring a bit of an older couple it seemed more of a dive bar. they had live music which was fun, a lounge area and a dance and DJ area in the back. it seemed a little different than what we are used to and being a big beer drinker we stopped in for a drink. My fiance said the shock top didnt taste like normal and my ipa left a dry aftertaste in my mouth. so Im not sure if Id be returning. it was clean inside and friendly staff just not sure if its a place for me.

This was by far the worst bar atmosphere I’ve ever been too. There are so many other bars on the stripOn church st that you can go too, unfortunately we picked this one and boy do we regret it. We asked for a glass of wine and they gave us, rotten wine. The staff was rude the “bouncers” were trying to Be intimidating, and starting problems. DO NOT STEP OVER THE RED ROPE YOU WILL BE SHUNNED!!! & threatened-10/10 i reccomend they bar next door over them 10 fold!! Don’t waste your time!!!

As a DJ thats often spinning at Red Square twice a week, I really appreciate the friendly staff and rich culture of music. Red Square is one of the few venues in town who are open 7 nights a week during the summer, spring, and fall seasons. They are known for their quality in entertainment and diversity in music. Its always gonna be a good time!

It was one of the first nice evenings of the summer and after a long day of work I was very excited to meet up with some coworkers on Church Street and be able to bring my dog for a drink! We tried out a few places that have outdoor seating, but very quickly decided to leave (thats for another review). Red Square wasnt the first choice (heck, I hadnt been there since college) in fact, it was my last. However, my mind was changed very quickly. Ive even gone back since! The staff absolutely went out of their way to make sure my dog had water (one bouncer even refreshed her water). I cant see myself going anywhere else on a nice night when I want to go to Church Street, have a drink, and bring my dog! I highly recommend bringing your dog to the Red Square patio, too.

Im originally from Chicago and relocated to Burlington to study at one of the local colleges. Upon my first semester in school, Red Square welcomed me to be a resident DJ at their venue - which later turned into two residencies per week. Red Square has always been there for me and helped me advance in my DJ passion and my efforts to be a professional marketer.The Red Square environment is fun and exciting! As a DJ, I always see our guests enjoying themselves and having a memorable time. There are multiple stages in the venue that DJs and live bands perform on throughout the week. That being said, Red Square is the place to be for an array of music.

WAY BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS! Step inside to a small dining like area and step up to the dance floor. A DJ room in the back corner and live music outside in the summer time. Only downside is the bathroom situation, (especially for gents apparently) but other than that, an awesome place to hang with friends.

Review №64

The bartender was fantastic, however the security and by security I mean the small brained, not endowed, scum that works the door, decided that our group, of 12 men were too loud for their empty, ugly bar. There were literally 4 other people willing to spend money at their establishment, at that time, but we were too loud. The bartender literally begged the manager to let us stay - and he decided they dont need our money or patronage. Guess what? your place sucks and were going to let the world know about it!

Red Square is a great place to grab a drink and enjoy some great music.

Went to support a local DJ. Bought 4 drinks for my wife and I, which two of them were stolen within minutes of my wife putting hers down next to us while dancing. Each time a waitress would grab her drink that was still 3/4 full. We werent more than 4 feet away from the drinks. After closing, we got stiffed with a $70 bill. We put 0s for the tip, all to wake up this morning to an $84 charge. I guess folks think they can write in whatever they want for a tip. Conveniently, their phone is disconnected so I cant contact managment. You will be hearing from my bank and lawyer.

5 dollar cover for what? Also security cut my wife off from drinking she only had one drink at the bar and at that time 3 drinks total. Clearly the security guard cant tell who has had enough and who hasnt since there was a couple on the dance floor just about having sex and stumbling. I did however speak with the security guards boss and he did give my wife and sister in-law a free drink.Only reason why I am giving 2 stars.

Went out with some of my friends. Got barred in 2007 because I was drunk and defended myself from being jumped by 4 people. Today I went in paid and got a non alcohol drink because Ive been sober from alcohol since 07 and was told I needed to show id then when I did the guy said Im sorry but you are banned from this bar... Really I wouldnt give this place any stars but you have to put something to comment. They took my money to get in and wouldnt return it plus Im being held accountable for something Ive already paid the price for... just saying Im 37 now with a family Ive grown up alot.. but its okay because theres other bars Im allowed into and I would love to bring my rich friends from stowe to get drunk elsewhere... So it is what it is.. but its sad that you cant get a second chance in something people grow up and change there life...

Terrible bar. Extremely over priced drinks and very rude staff. Manager changes the cover charge throughout the night because he keeps all of it.
