The Red Lion, Pall Mall

A friend and I thought we'd stop by for a pint as we hadn't visited in a long time. We shouldn't have bothered. Our glasses of Tribute took a very long time to settle, and then the ale tasted of soap, and when we told the barmaid she refused to believe us, asking a drunk man behind us whether it had tasted alright to him. She then said she could get us an Adnams, but we'd have to pay for it, as there was 'nothing wrong' with the Tribute. Through all of this she was rude and seemed to be suggesting that we didn't have a clue what beer should taste like- even when we told her, truthfully, that we frequently drink Tribute. We left, minus the drink, and the money we had paid for it, and will certainly not be returning.
