The Red Lion

A fine pub indeed. Tiny bar downstairs with the most wonderful person serving behind the bar. Excellent service and a happy disposition. Upstairs, a playroom if you like table football, further upstairs, another playroom if you like pool and even further upstairs a rooftop garden to enjoy the sunshine. An excellent place to enjoy a drink.

Lovely place but we asked for gin and tonics and it tasted completely only of tonic water. We went to ask for more gin and they were very nice about it but it still tasted like the weakest gin and tonic I’ve ever had, especially for £6.30. We ended up asking for them to add lime cordial for it to at least be drinkable but we were very disappointed.

Was looking for a chilled pub to have some drinks with a mate and catch-up, perhaps over a game of pool or darts. Luckily I was standing 3 mins away from here when I did a quick Google. Spent the rest of my night here. Amazing vibes. Lovely staff. Grear dart board. They even had. Foosball table and giant Jenga puzzle. Whole thing was for free as well. Highly recommend giving this place a look.

Sat on the rooftop with excellent weather. We didn't eat there so I can't comment on the food. Service was great. Drink flowed freely. Lively evening all in all

I have been regularly coming to the Red Lion due to its convenience from my office, however looks like I will look like I will need to find a new place to go with my colleagues after my experience today seeing their senior management team in action. Some lady whom I never seen before was shouting and screaming at staff who were in the middle of a very busy Thurs afternoon serving drinks and you have this crazy moo saying this ain't right and that's wrong. My personal experience is the staff are always warm and welcoming, but after witnessing this inappropriate behaviour by this ill tempered bully, it broke my heart and killed the vibe. How can a hospitality experience where I have gone to cheer myself up, make me feel sad! Seemed like some new lady manager has zero people skills, and made me and all colleagues feel so uncomfortable that we felt like saying let's go somewhere else. No one should have bare that type of treatment where staff are being shouted at in front of customers, even if something is out of place a good manager should pick a time and a place for a private conservation away from the public, but the treatment the staff endured made me realise they clearly work for a dictatorship who has unrealistic expectations which she wanted addressed in real time. The reason I go to the red lion is due to the ambience the staff create and the great service, to be shouted at for a door which she believed should be closed was so disappointing as this was causing people who had hoards of drinks were spilling as they trying to open this door. Truly was like a comic sketch lol. I won't be coming there again, if this rude new manager lady is onsite. Plenty more options in Shoreditch. Shame as they have a nice rooftop bar I would have enjoyed, avoid if this manager lady is on duty. Wish I had taken a picture of her, avoid like the plague. Update. You can keep your weak apology, if you are using law as an excuse to mistreat people. I know what I saw, and how it made me and colleagues feel. An entire group of people all agreed, that something so unsavoury is taking place in front of the general public, which is just wrong. How the staff put up with that toxic energy lingering around is beyond me. You should change the name from the red lion to red alert.

The Red Lion is a place of wonder, great booze and pure vibes. Thomas helped me find my phone when I lost it. He’s such a life saver! The building is really unique - the rooftop is my favorite! On the middle floor you get to play your own music which I love! This is now my local pub!

Hidden Gem! 3 floors with pool, giant Jenga, music and a rooftop terrace. Decent price for a drink and super chill staff. Absolute diamond in the rough

I love this place so much. So accommodating, 3 floors of complete fun, really considerate bar staff include Thomas, Paul and Raghav. They allowed us control of the music which is amazing and rare for other pubs in London. One of the best pubs in London in my opinion.
