Red Lion

Had a top night in the red lion. Great atmosphere everyone friendly.

The pub hosts the Sunday Blues in the evening. We'll worth a visit and there is a full programme of events.

From the moment me and my partner walked in, Jess greeted us with the warmest, most genuine smile that instantly made us feel right at home. Her energy was infectious, and her helpful attitude turned an ordinary night out into something truly memorable. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed, and felt genuinely welcomed. You can tell she truly cares about her guests and loves what she does. Jess is the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression — we’ll definitely be coming back, and she’s a big reason why!

Brilliant service by Sophie! She was so friendly but when I went back to order more drinks for my friends, she told the other colleague my previous order!!! Amazing, makes it a great atmosphere I. The pub but also so helpful

Came in for some drinks, the guy at the bar with the hair and beard was super helpful and gave some recommendations on cider. They also have a jukebox which was super cool. Would come again

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and a great mix of patrons.

So friendly and welcoming . always hot food and taste amazing . Good prices and deals through out the week and weekends .. manager Bruce is very helpful and welcoming . It really is a friendly pub and now become a regular and even the pubs regulars make u feel welcome

We recently visited this venue for lunch and unfortunately, it was a deeply disappointing experience. The food was so poor that none of us could finish our meals—we actually left hungry. To make matters worse, I’ve now received a £100 parking fine despite correctly entering my registration into the iPad at the bar, as instructed. I’ve attempted to resolve this issue by calling the venue numerous times over several weeks, leaving multiple voicemails, but I’ve had no response whatsoever. It’s incredibly frustrating to be out of pocket not only for a terrible meal but also for a parking fine that I shouldn’t have received. The lack of accountability and customer service is unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to think twice before visiting.

The Red Lion Stevenage is in The Old Town. It is an old building with lots of character and it is quite unexpected to find it is a Rock Pub and rather alternate. Good beer and live music, of the heavy rock caliber, it can be very packed when a band is playing. (It isn't very big). Don't expect to be able to fight your way though to the loo easily through the dancing crowds. Only been there in the evening but found a bar stool. Expect to stand though as it is very popular. Addendum: I have no idea why I put good beer as it is pretty rough and I have always felt ill afterwards ...maybe it has just gone downhill since I first went.

Brilliant pub fab atmosphere ... Love the live bands and the staff are soooo friendly would recommend to anyone :-) The beer garden is always full of friendly ppl fab place to meet new friends

Ok its a bit of a rockers pub , do not expect a nice quiet pint or a seat . What really drops the stars is a lack of good beer .

Popular place to have the feel of Hitchin in Stevenage. Reasonable price for drinks, and the staff and regualrs are friendly. The band night is awesome, and will always make for an enjoyable night, but the quieter nights are good too, playing a game of pool and arguing over who gets to use the jukebox next. Thats another good point, the jukebox has awesome songs on it.

Me, my partner and baby daughter went here for lunch, NEVER AGAIN. We dared to query our order (which was totally wrong) and asked for a receipt to check it over. The manageress brought over the receipt threw my partners coat on the floor to sit herself down and started to go over what we had ordered. She was aggressive from start to finish especially when we told her the man who served us hadn't listened and had to be told more than once what we wanted (still getting it wrong) couldn't do his job, she said this man was her husband and said it was us who were wrong, after making a show of us in front of the other customers we were allowed to eat our less than adequate food. I would not recommend this pub to anyone the service is disgusting!

Great place for the more alternative crowd. Really much better atmosphere than most other places in Stevo. The kind where no one cares what you lool like or where you're from, much warmer a place. Frequent live music, too, despite the space might not be ideal for that.
