Message from Red Lion Pub

Red Lion Pub

A touch of old England in the heart of Houston

  • Great patio
  • Wonderful beers
  • Fantastic food

The traditionally furnished pub features an inviting fireplace, red leather booths and the dart room has an authentic, vintage red phone booth with house phone imported from London. Intimate seating areas, soft lighting and a gleaming brass beer tap behind the barstool-dotted bar. Televisions visible for sporting events. The Red Lion Pub showcases the best beers on tap and a selective wine list, premium single malts along with fine spirits and cigar friendly.

Menu items include classic dishes such as bangers and mash; fish and chips; and Shepherds pie. We also have burgers, Indian quesadillas and free pizza bites at the bar Monday through Friday 3pm-7pm.

Editorial Review for Red Lion Pub – by Joshua Hinsdale

The Scene
The term "pub" gets tossed around pretty loosely in Houston, so it's nice to visit a place that's more than a pub in name only. Luscious red leather covers the bar stools and booths, a modest brick fireplace warms the cozy back room, and an impressive collection of Edwardian prints line the walls.

The Draw
This is no place for young blokes or old boozers downing their dying drink. The low-level music is geared more toward couples and single women looking to relax with a glass of chardonnay. There's a TV, but it's tucked away in a wood cabinet above the bar. The owner only takes it out of hiding for local games. A huge list of single-malt scotches and a spot-on traditional English menu completes the London trip.

The old British-style atmosphere is great and the bar selection and patio are as well. The food however, is a bit too expensive for a pub. Sure it's better than what you find in many bars, but the traditional British dishes are all $12 and up. I'd go back, but not for the food.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended
