Redemption Cocktail Lounge and Cafe -

Eclectic is the best word to describe the Redemption Cocktail Lounge and Café. The unorthodox mix of plasma screen TVs, wood burning stove, cobblestone walls, and trippy lighting can be rather disorienting (Is it a sports bar, quaint cafe, or hipster lounge?). Redemption's identity crisis extends into its menu with typical American bar and café food served alongside Asian-influenced dishes. While the décor and menu are all over the place, the drink specials are what really attract patrons. A large afterwork crowd gathers to take advantage of the happy-hour specials on beer and sangria, and the night brings in DJs spinning an eclectic mix of music. If you can get past the décor, the drinks, crowd and music are more than enough to redeem this confused café.
