Welcome to the Square!

I've been to red square numerous times and I thought it finally time to write a view. The food here is phenomenal and its almost a diamond in the rough with every place there is to go in Denver. They have daily dinner specials and that absolutely rock in price, presentation, and taste. Try their charcuterie plate. Now this is one of the few places that infuses their own vodkas in house weekly, not to mention they have some of the best ones i've had. Try their grapefruit and horseradish, its incredible. Max is one amazing bartender and really knows his vodka and service. The weekends are pretty insane there but how can it now be, apparently everyone is catching on. If you want great food, excellent vodka, and a very upbeat crowd then look no further. Welcome to the Square.
- Pros: One of the best bars in Denver
- Cons: Weekends, but you can't win them all.
Fantastic European Food and Great Service with Atmosphere‎

Unlike the pretentious tone of some downtown restaurants - The Red Square is refreshing and warm with great atmosphere and attentive staff. Complement this with its delightfully delicious menu served with crusty traditional European bread and you have a fabulous Denver resto tucked into a cozy corner of Writers Square. Our friendly waiter and host made us feel like we were family with excellent service. Once you're there, try some infused vodka before your meal. I like mine served straight up as a martini. Fig infused vodka, although it sounds a bit strange, is flavorful and delicious. You'll feel you've taken a trip back to your favorite European city...Actually, my boyfriend and I will be taking another trip to Russia very soon and it's only a couple blocks away...
- Pros: Ambience, Infused Vodka, Great European Bread, Attentive Staff
- Cons: Nothing, go see for yourself
Are these people trying?

I have wondered if these people are trying to run a business and for whom does it work. There was a bartender with salt and pepper hair who seemed to have some pride in what he did who made the place enjoyable. The food was also better then, maybe he cooked as well. Since then the staff seems to be concerned with cigarette breaks, frowning, little effort, and watching the time go by. I like the decor except the 6 month bathroom remodel, and the vodka, but at this point in the economy go where someone wants you, and has good food as well. These folks should disband - the frowns and lethargy may be contagious.

The food is good, the atmosphere is good, but the vodka and inexpensive bottle prices are the main reason to hang out here. Located in the middle of Writer's Square, Red Square is a nice place to enjoy some vodka served by people who know how to serve it best.
Just Bad

I hate this place. The owner is totally rude. (he has been rude to me multiple times when I have come in there) The food is mediocre at best. The vodka, which is supposed to be the main focus of the restraunt, is something you could buy on the corner liquor store. I have tried it over and over and I am giving up. Just go somewhere else, Denver has to many great restraunts to waste your time on this place.
- Pros: Nothing
BEST SERVICE & FOOD IN TOWN

We started frequenting the Little Russian Cafe and migrated over to Red Square when it opened. We absolutely love the staff, the ambiance, the food & the vodka. We have never experienced the kind of personal attention and wonderful service as we get every time we go in here. We keep introducing new people and everyone we take in loves the place. We have NEVER had a bad meal and have tried just about everything on the menu. Anyone who has given this place a bad review needs to go elsewhere and make room for those who love this place as much as we do!
- Pros: Variety of Vodka, Excellent menu, Superb service
- Cons: Occupancy is limited and bar gets noisy

There are many different options for vodka here. Flavors I would never have dreamt of, garlic, etc. It's interesting and fun to try the different options. The food is very European but heavy (big German influence). It's a place you go once but not someplace that is on my list to return.
Seriously good food

My boyfriend and I love this place. We have been there three years in a row for Valentine's Day. The menu is a bit small, but we haven't had a bad dish yet. The steak stroganoff sounds like a weird idea, but trust me- it is fantastic. In addition, the service is always good.
On a side note, I have found coupons for this place (pay $50 for a $100 coupon) so search the internet to find them as they are worth it!
- Pros: great food
- Cons: small menu
Just okay

I chose this place because it looked interesting, but the service was so bad I didn't stick around One thing that really bugged me about it was I had to ask for more vodka and the bartender acted like he was doing me a favor by serving me. When I got up to use the restroom I came back to my seat at the bar and the bartender had piled up dirty glasses and dishes in front of my stool and made no effort to move these as I sat back down, so I drank my vodka quickly and left. I headed over to 1515 on Market and was treated like a king there. Too bad I really like the horseradish infused vodka but I doubt I'll go back, the service was so bad I didn't bother to try the food. After reading all the bad reviews here it doesn't sound like I missed anything.
Best bar in Denver

The Red Square is a classy little "Euro bistro" tucked away in the corner of Writer's Square. All of their vodka infusions, especially the pineapple, are delicious!! They look and taste innocent but pack a p unch- they don't kick in right away, so watch out or you'll be stumbling home. These shots are best sipped, not shot! The setting is intimate and the crowd is relaxed and friendly. The Red Square is a gem!
- Pros: Ambiance, vodka
- Cons: Pricey
