This review is for the upstairs bar, not the restaurant nor the downstairs Red Room. I've only eaten at the restaurant once or twice and don't have too many memories, and the downstairs warrants its own review.
I've gone to the Red many, many times over the years, and you can get basically anything you seek there. In terms of drinks, they have a nice selection of draft and bottle beers. They have an extensive selection of liquor whether you're looking for a classy glass of whisky or you're just looking for cheaper mixed drinks. On the topic of mixed drinks, they have a decent menu of cocktails, and I've always found the bartenders to be fairly knowledgeable of the classics.
On the topic of ambiance, it all starts with Red, which stimulates different emotions in different people. For some people, it sets a more amorous tone, and for others, a more aggressive feeling for which if you stay long enough during the night, you're bound to see a confrontation or two. Earlier in the evening, you're likely to run in to groups of friends getting together for happy hour and light appetizers, and stay late and you'll get a mix of local surfer bros and UCSC students, both undergrads and graduate students.
