When the sun sets over Ocean Springs and the daytime charm gives way to moonlit mischief, there’s one glowing sign that promises a night unlike any other: Red Apple Lounge.
Part cocktail bar, part cinematic fever dream, Red Apple isn’t just a place to grab a drink—it’s a fully immersive experience, inspired by the bold, rebellious spirit of Quentin Tarantino’s film universe. With its signature red neon, velvet shadows, and cult-classic soundtrack humming in the background, Red Apple has quickly become the crown jewel of the Ocean Springs nightlife scene.
Here’s why this late-night lounge is stealing the spotlight.

🎬 Cinema Meets Speakeasy
Stepping into Red Apple feels like walking onto the set of a movie you’ve always wanted to star in. The lighting is low, the vibes are high, and every corner is dripping with film-inspired style—from vintage “Red Apple Cigarettes” signs to moody silhouettes straight out of Reservoir Dogs.
We’re not just a Tarantino-themed bar. We’re a living, breathing tribute to the art of atmosphere—a place where the cocktails are character arcs and the soundtrack is plot development.

🍹 Cocktails with a Kill Bill Kick
Forget basic bar menus. At Red Apple, every drink tells a story.
Our curated cocktail list includes original creations like:
Royale with Rum – a cheeky nod to Pulp Fiction with tropical depth and Parisian cool
5 Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique – sweet, dangerous, and impossible to forget
The Bonnie Situation – a smooth dessert cocktail perfect for debriefing after a long day (or accidental cleanup)
Once Upon a Time in Ocean Springs – champagne-topped with old Hollywood glamour
Each cocktail is crafted with precision, layered with flavor, and named to spark a smile from even the most die-hard cinephile.

🎵 The Soundtrack of the Night
The Red Apple playlist is a thing of legend—surf rock, retro soul, spaghetti western scores, and deep cuts straight out of Tarantino’s record vault. Whether you’re dancing in your seat or slow-sipping in a booth, the music sets the mood with style and swagger.
It’s not just ambiance—it’s a supporting character.
🛋️ A Vibe-First Experience
What sets Red Apple apart is the attention to detail. It’s not just how your drink tastes (amazing). It’s how it’s served. How the lighting hits the glass. How the mural glows behind you in photos. How the bartender smirks when you order The Bear Jew Smash.

From the matchbook-inspired menus to the faux vintage cigarette ads, everything has a touch of Tarantino and a lot of Ocean Springs charm. Whether you’re on a date, with friends, or flying solo, you’ll feel like you’re in on something special.
🌙 The Jewel of the Night Scene
Red Apple Lounge isn’t trying to be the loudest bar on the block—it’s the one you remember the next day. It’s where stories start, where characters come to life, and where every drink feels like it was poured just for you.

So the next time you’re wandering downtown after dark, look for the red neon glow. Step inside. Order something bold. And let the night play out like your own private film.
