Great pizza, Depressing inside

Review of Red House

The pizza is probably the best in Beijing, and I would say the place is worth going just for this one reason (The most important reason).

But I rarely go because the inside is very depressing, in the day time they do not turn on the lights as well there is no insulation so the cold winter air whizzes through, both work together perfectly to create a dungeon feel.

Also the bathroom is filthy, if you ever had the displeasure of going into beijing subways bathrooms you can imagine what it is like.

Last time i went there the place was pitch black and around 8 degrees celsius I had to keep my jacket on, also I had to sit near the windows to be able to read the menu, which also happens to be next to the bathroom. I look around and the place is a dark red color which is a pretty depressing color. The entire time I was expecting this place to be totally over rated, but then I ate their pizza which is awesome.

I want to visit again, I just hope they renovate the place. I recommend the pizza to everyone, try it! But the place itself I do not recommend, unless you are in the mood of getting drunk off belgium beers wearing a viking helmet and pretending you are a Dungeon Master!

p.s. This is the wudaokou branch.

Good Pizza!

(Xinzhongjie Location) New but has potential!

Everyone is comparing it to The Hidden Tree/The Tree/Nearby The Tree/First Floor.... This is because all those places have people in common. The guys who once worked the bar at The (various) Tree locations are now in charge at Red House.

I haven't been to the Wudaokou location but the Xinfu one is looking promising. Yeah, its simple right now but the framework is there, they need to add some personality and some decent music but once this place gets popular, I predict it will be overflowing with cheer.

The guys who run it are decent, matter-of-fact fellas who deliver your first beer with a very understated "song ni" meaning they want to give you a free beer to start your night. The pizzas start at 50kuai and go to 65 or 70. they are Tree-esque and very generous with cheese and toppings all the way to the edge. No wasted crusts at our table! they seem bigger than the tree pizzas and were more than decent.

The draft beers are 5 kuai and that seems too cheap because it is too cheap. There is something distinctly wrong with the beer, most at our table said "watered down" I thought it tasted metallic. Even though they were free or 5 kuai most of us chose to buy the slightly more expensive branded beers, but with stella at 30 kuai and guiness 25-35 kuai it is still a great deal and mixed drinks start at 15.

I hope this place keeps up their philosophy of good deals and customer loyalty because it could be a great new spot to frequent now that 1st Floor is over run with twatitude.

Favorite bar in Wudaokou

This is the kind of neighborhood joint that I miss from back home. Cheap beer (5 clams for a Tsingtao draft), super-friendly bartenders and poker tournaments if you're into that. They have a pretty solid selection of foreign beers, not unlike The Tree/Nearby The Tree. Similarly, they also serve some pretty badass 'za. This is my go-to spot if I find myself stranded in 5DK.

it;s good

The pizza (60RMB)is really great (some friends recommended though that you only go for vegetarian or ham pizza's) It was tasty with a fairly thin base. The steak (90RMB)was also exceptional (med-rare without asking how you would like it, but just the way a steak should be in my opinion)served with nice chunky chips and a generous potion of salad. Definitely going back for more.
