What people say, in short
The Redwood Bar & Grill draws downtown recommendations for a rock-oriented dive-bar visit. One patron especially values the rock-and-roll character, and another mentions occasional live bands. A visitor considers it decent but too small for a larger gathering. It suits an informal bar night better than an assumption of ample event space.
