DETAIL HUNTER I've heard that Diego's is going to be opening their doors soon and that they are at a 700 occupancy. Is this true? Does anyone have any set in stone details about this? - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 9:32pm
DETAIL HUNTER I also heard that they will have a 400 square foot stage? - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 9:35pm
Anonymous Apparently in time they may be able to hold numbers close to 700 however, for the first little while they will hold the same as other clubs in Victoria. - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 9:43pm
Anonymous When is this bar opening? What's up? - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 9:56pm
Anonymous The doors without jim morrison is like....well, it just sucks. The doors were amazing, but it should have ended with jim's death, it makes me sad to see great bands milk their fame for cash. - Mon, 31 Mar 2003 10:13pm

The Red Lion Inn contained an "Inn", Diego's bar (live music), a peeler bar, and a cold beer and wine store. it burned down sometime last year as i recall and now it has been rebuilt.

Fer a second there, I thought you were talking about that club underneath Swans brewpub. Yeah, Red Lion's gonna RAWK!!! Wonder if it'll effect business at the bars in the downtown core?!? - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 6:23pm
Anonymous You mean affect? - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 7:20pm
Donnie Black I work at the Red Lion, so here's the scoop:
We will be opening very soon. Some final paperwork has to be completed prior to us opening our doors. The new noody bar is beautiful. If that's your bag, then we're your bag.
Diego's Bar and Grill is the cabaret upstairs. It's capacity is over 700 people, but it will retain it's previous licker lisence for 225 people. (To change lisences requires re-applying, which'll sometime down the road) It has the ability to become the premiere live venue in Victoria, and I'm sure it will eventually. I'm not certain when the live shows will start? Maybe in a month, two or three. Who knows?
If you're a sports fan, our coverage will be immaculate. The kitchen staff is top of the line, and the noody staff is the allstar team. Be sure to come and visit when we open. - Wed, 2 Apr 2003 11:08pm
