Red Lion

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

We called in on the hoof Friday evening, good beer, good service and great atmosphere. Certainly a busy town and busy pub, but was a very enjoyable experience. Good music & vibe, plus theu had a nice pint of my 'go to' Abbott Ale. Well done Red 🦁 Wish we had eaten there as well, next time.

Popped in yesterday , absolutely love this place. Service is always on point , it wasn’t too busy to grab a pint and some snacks and left feeling better for my visit. I’ll be back soon

Was a nice atmosphere Though the picture shows the Pride flags. We was unaware that this was an LGBTQIA+ venue. In fact, I asked the barman of any local gay bars and he had no clue lol.

Great pub visited during red fest so there was also great live music. Always a good welcoming atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks.

Great old pub, really enjoyed my first visit.

My band have played two gigs here. This is one of the best music venues in Hertfordshire. The pub manager and staff know their stuff and a really helpful and friendly, from set-up to take down. The place is always busy on a Saturday night you can expecta great night of music either watching, or a great crowd if you're playing. If you like live music, check it out.

A proper pub with a great atmosphere! It has a jukebox, a pool table and is cheap, what more do you need!

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.
