Red Room Bistro, the highly anticipated luxury lounge concept from reality star Karlie Redd and her business partner “Ace,” will celebrate its official grand opening on Sunday, September 28, 2025, in the heart of Downtown Atlanta at 255 Trinity Avenue. The celebration kicks off with red carpet access from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET, followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET.
Inspired by Karlie Redd’s father and late stepmother, who owned a successful restaurant for decades, Red Room Bistro reflects her lifelong passion for hospitality. The concept blends elevated cuisine, exceptional service, and an immersive lounge atmosphere designed to redefine Atlanta’s dining experience.
The bistro, curated by restaurateur and designer Ty Young, exudes a sultry red aesthetic paired with stylish décor, embodying Karlie’s bold persona. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 PM to 2 AM, and Sundays from 5 PM to 12 AM, Red Room Bistro offers the perfect setting for a girls’ night out, romantic dinner, or lively evening with family and friends.
Specialty experiences include the “Bunnies and Bubbles Brunch” on Sundays from 12 PM to 4 PM ET, featuring standout dishes like thick slices of buttery French toast topped with macerated strawberries, crunchy cinnamon crumble, and a drizzle of vanilla syrup. The full menu will highlight an eclectic mix of tapas, from American wings and burgers to Caribbean-inspired flavors, ensuring something for every palate.
For Karlie and Ace, the venture is more than a business. It’s an ode to family, culture, and legacy. The duo, already behind the successful Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles franchise, are merging their Trinidadian roots and love of hospitality to deliver an upscale dining experience unlike anything Atlanta has seen.
Ace, a self-taught restaurateur, has built a reputation as one of Atlanta’s most dynamic entrepreneurs, creating and operating more than seven successful restaurant franchises, including Crescent City Kitchen, Spice House, and Johnny’s Chicken and Waffles. “I’m excited to join forces again with Karlie on this venture,” Ace says. “Atlanta often carries a stigma of poor service, and we want to change that narrative by setting a new standard.”
Karlie Redd echoes that sentiment, bringing her own restaurant expertise to the table. “Food and quality service have been a passion of mine since childhood,” she shares. “With Red Room Bistro, I wanted to create more than just a restaurant—I wanted to create an experience where great food, atmosphere, and unforgettable moments all come together.”
Set to diversify and elevate Atlanta’s vibrant food scene, Red Room Bistro is positioning itself as one of the city’s premier new dining and lounge destinations. Its grand opening on September 28 promises not only a celebration but the start of a new standard in fine dining and hospitality.
