Red Lion Hotel, Cosham

Unless you live within 20 yards of the red lion avoid like the plague. I have been living in cosham for just over a year now & none of the pubs are much cop. The Red Lion deserves a place in the least welcoming place list for 2011. The bar staff, all female i may add are about as surly as i have ever come across. This isnt based on 1 visit either because that would be unfair, so i made 3 visits to the red lion, On each ocassion i have greeted the bar staff with a hearty hello my love, which was answered by What do you want. I found myself using more please/thankyou than the bar staff Landlady included. The music is the choice of the bar staff & if they dont like something off it goes & that includes if you have put money in the jukebox. Basically what im saying is, if you want to be treated like dirt & pay for it this is the place for. Didnt try the food for fear the staff maight spit in it & im not joking.
