"The Red Lion Pub is a bar in Lincoln Park that imports the full pub experience from across the pond. It looks small from the outside, but the dark, wooden inside seems to go on (and up) forever, so you can easily bring a group here, find a big table, and drink Old Speckled Hens while pretending you’re on the set of Robin Hood. Or, sidle up to the bar lined with as many books as bottles and chat with the friendly bartender who probably knows half the neighborhood regulars drinking at any given time. And while the short food menu is full of hit-or-miss pub classics like scotch eggs or fish and chips, keep Red Lion in mind the next time you need a low-key spot for a beer with a friend." - Veda Kilaru
