| I've visited this Pub almost every time I've been to london. I've never been short-changed, very rarely had a bad pint, and ALWAYS had good food and enjoyed myself. Granted, the queues at the Bar can get a bit long, but apart from that, it's a good place to go. Good selection of real ales, as with all Wetherspoons establishments. beerface - 17 Mar 2008 13:42 |
| Can get real packed in here at the weekends, seating is a struggle to find unless you get there before 7pm and buying drinks can take you a while at times. Otherwise a very nice pub, super cheap drink prices, good food (I like my Wetherspoons grub!!!) and a decent atmosphere. MystiKaL - 16 Apr 2007 16:24 |
| I have visited this pub twice in the past month and both times felt quite insulted. The first time my friends and I were at a loss for adequate seating space, so retired to the garden. It was a chilly night and at least 15 people had taken the same seating option as we had. Suddenly, my good friend had an epiphany. Why don't we ask the nice barstaff if they could turn on the patio heaters. Why not? Here's why not. The first one suggested we use a lighter. hardly a safe option. one stared blankly as though trying to work out the optical illusion in a sunday supplement. One had the decency to merely insult us with a sarcastic comment (in plain english, thank god!) Eventually I came across a young gentleman who seemed to get where I was coming from and said he would see what he could do. I didn't see him for the rest of the night. obviously this level of service was beyond the as yet invisible manager's tolerance and the young man was cast out before he could cause any more trouble. The Courage Best was in need of some TLC. any other slightly interesting ale tasted like it had been in the pipes for weeks. anonymous - 11 Mar 2007 03:19 |
| 24 februry 2007 Do not go to The Red Lion Bar! Before an incident what I suffered an incident there I believed it is a good place but I have changed my mind. I just ordered 1 and half pint of fosters, for this I had to wait about 15 minutes and I paid by a 10 pounds note. I gave the money to the bar girl and after she was looking for something in the cash machine, I don’t know what she was doing there, then disappeared to the office of Bar or changing room, I don’t know what kind of room. I thought she just went to bring me some change but 10 minutes later I realized she don’t want to give back my money. After this I complained about this the other staffs to ask to speak to the manager, they alleged the manager isn’t there. (Saturday night, I can’t believe it. It was a lie.) I asked the manager’s phone number but they didn’t want to hear it. 15 minutes after my payment the bargirl appeared from the office, she was asked to give back my change but she alleged that she has given my change and I think she was confused about her action, she started to speak Polish. We asked to stop it and speak English because we don’t understand her language. I explained her I was waiting for my change for more than 10 minutes and she hasn’t give me any change and if it is her business to steal money from customers I can be very sorry about her pauperism and I asked her don’t see me stupid and drunk and give me back my money as soon as possible, otherwise I’ll call the police. I told her there are plenty of CCTV camera, I am sure one of them recorded our unfinished transaction. It is absolutely not problem to prove my truth. After this sentences she disappeared without one word to the same office room where she hidden herself after my payment. In 30 second she gave me my money. She didn’t say sorry or something else, I felt myself uncomfortable about this. It was very interesting she knew very exactly the amount and after I was thinking what was she doing in the cash machine after my payment and why did she disappear after this to the office? I think she brought the stolen money to her place where she collects them. She wasn’t busy at al to take mistake. How many times does she do this action in one day? Why does she do this by some pounds and so primitively? In my opinion in this pub not just this girl does this action, I think other staffs may do the same because when I first time told them this they didn’t seem surprised. I think it is a daily routine for them. BUT IT IS SO PRIMITIVELY! I HATE WHEN SOMEBODY SEE ME STUPID!! DO NOT GO TO THE RED LION BAR!!!! anonymous - 25 Feb 2007 10:29 |
| This place is hilarious! A good advert for going teetotal unless you want to drink with 50 year old down and outs who look 75. Stay in there for long and you're guaranteed to have a punch up with a bloke called Archie who will then profess to be your best pal and drink with you for the rest of the night before fighting you again as you try and leave. Not many places in London where you can get such cheap booze though which may explain why old soaks amble in like zombies from Dawn of the Dead. Illoyd - 2 Nov 2006 17:42 |
