Redz Bar (1953 – 2015), now Redz Angelz (2016 – present) in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, California, is a historic lesbian bar that catered to Latinas and Chicanas. It is formerly known as Redheads, and Redhead Tavern.

Redz Bar opened during a time of working-class lesbian bars and represented an important intersection of race, class, and sexuality.

A new bar was opened in 2016 under new ownership in the same former location with the name Redz Angelz. In 2018, performance artist Xandra Ibarra showed her film work at Redz Angelz.
