The Redhead attracts a well-heeled, sharp-dressed Gold Coast clientele with its classic, old-time lounge vibe. Yesteryear memorabilia -- movie-star glamour shots, playbills, and old sheet music -- covers the walls, and the drink list focuses on single-malt scotch and other premium liquors rather than flavored martinis (the crowd teeming around the piano is a throwback as well). Suggested attire is "business casual," so don't show up wearing shorts and gym shoes.
