Close to Liverpool Street, serving a selection of five ales from Brewers such as Fullers. Beer is well kept

Not too bad for a City pub, with a ratio of after-work customers to space available marginally less than one. Nice pint of Adnams.

One of my worst lunch experiences in recent times, although you don't tend to go to pubs for a non-alcoholic lunch that often, I don't drink during work hours. This pub is part of a chain so I expected the food quality to be similar to others in the same chain. The service was ok, got served almost straight away but it wasn't busy anyway. We ordered a burger and nachos. We waited 25 minutes. The burger was overcooked and dry with some very limp attempt at salad and overcooked chips. The nachos, half of them were burnt, they were barbecue flavour chips and came with a tiny dollop (about 2 tablespoons size) of mayo and the same of guacamole, along with half a tomato and red onion roughly chopped and a bit of melted cheese about 2 inches in diameter, all placed to one side on the nachos in order presumably to cover up as many of the burnt ones as possible. Nothing really approaching what you'd expect of an order of nachos. Won't be visiting the Red Lion again as there are loads of other options in the City area.

A nice pub. Service a good but boring selection of real ales. Th epint I had was good and not bad for a City local. Worth a visit if close to Liverpool Street.
|
This is a good one but quite small so sometimes gets very crowded. It's a place where I feel comfortable spending the entire evening which is unusual for this area
|
I have to give the red lion 10 out of 10, as its been my regular haunt for the last four years, and mary (the manager) would kill me if I didn't. Its a good solid blokes boozer (city blokes that is) the fosters is always cold,the food aint bad, and you get some nice totty in on a friday. nuf said

Quality of Bombadier poor last night.

This is a comfortable, if somewhat 'down at the heel' city boozer. The ales are reliable, particularly the frequently changing guests. If anyone suggests ABO-ing or JDW-ing this place shoot to kill. I love this pub.

Go upstairs. It is excellent up there.

Don't like the atmosphere in this place at all, and the beers are only average so I'd avoid if I were you.

Warning: Coppers have leaving do's in this pub.

Excellent for a swift pint ...well worth a visit
|
nice pleasant little pub - good choice of ale, refreshing change from the bland boring chain's that dominate this area.
|
Great place to stumble into on the way to Moorgate from the Broadgate area. The Bombadier is always pretty good, though the barstaff don't alweays have the best English so getting served can be a little protracted. Gets a bit full of builders on occasion who can be a bit loud & sweary, but never any trouble.

A good place to watch everyone hurry past. Always a nice drop of Bombadier. Lovely looking pub from the outside, thankfully overlooked by the Luftwaffe.
|
a nice place for a quick pint. I would recomend upstairs if you can get a table for a quick pub bite. Not a great place to meet women - but a great place to go for a lunchtime drink.

This has to be one of the smallest downstairs bars in the city of London.
